    Hi,

    I've just switched my cable modem service to 15MB download, and I can get
    pretty close to that if I bypass the router. I'm connecting directly from
    the router to my ethernet card, so no USB. I've installed the latest
    available firmware and software updates for the MN-500, also, I'm running
    Windows 2k.
    Any ideas about what's causing this?

    The MN-500 has a 10 Mbps (Please note that is bits per second) port for
    the WAN port. This is a design limitation. So to fully utilize a 15
    Mbps connection you will need a router that has a 100 Mbps connection on
    the WAN port.

    Thanks for the helpful response Joe. I'm seeing the same behavior. In fact
    the fastest speed that I'm able to achieve while setup on a 10 Mbps ISP port
    is 6.77 Mbps whereas connected directly to the Rogers Cable modem I'll hit
    close to 10.

    I'm running the latest firmware Version: V1.11.017. Too bad, this is the
    best router I've ever owned. It's been running continuously for NINE YEARS
    now without ever having to reset it once!!! I would have to say this is the
    best piece of hardware I've ever owned. Not even my Cisco 2611 was as
    reliable. I went through two linksys and a d-link prior to buying the MN-500.
    I'd love to know who made this piece of hardware for microsoft?
