I have a Netgear Router (Model: RP614v2). We bought it back in 2003. Recently our ISP boosted our speed. When i have the modem connected directly to my laptop i get 10Mb/s. When i have the modem connected to the router which is connected to two other computers, we get around 5Mb/s. I know that 3 computers connected to the router can slow the speed, but even if the other two computer are shut down, i still only get 5 Mb/s. From what i have read, routers should only slow the speed by a few milliseconds, not 5Mb/s. I have also read that there are "b", "g", and "n" routers and that each one can handle a different internet speed. Should a router reduce a 10Mb/s line to a 5Mb/s line? How do you know what type of router you have (b, g, or n) and what its db limit is?
