that depends on whether your belkin has QoS or not.

How would I figure that out? It is the slightly older Belkin 54G wireless router with 2 antennas.

2 ways.

1. look in the user's guide that came with it or download it off of Belkin's website.

2. look in the web configuration under Gaming and Applications and see if it is there.

54G with 2 antennas? Sounds like an old 7130, which does not have QoS.

However unless you are constantly d/l torrents or online gaming, you should not have problems with it.

Otherwise, look at the model number and get the manual from Belkin's site...

I just looked at the unit and it is a F5D7230-4 Ver. 1010.

I looked in the online control panel and I don't see any QOS.

I haven't seen any updates on this - is there any max throughput for the RTP300.

I have a 15 meg down connection, and I can't seem to squeeze any more than about 8 mbps....

I have TWC and an RTP300 with Linksys Wireless N Router ... 15Mb Down All day and night ..... your cable modem should be on the wan port of the Wireless router, you rtp should plug into the built in hub on the router and QOS should be turned OFF.

you computers also plug into the same hub spaces .... NOT THE RTP.

The rtp is just a device on your network and nothing as far as your internet Flows thru it .... think of it as being just like any other network card in a computer ... that being said; are you by chance trying to share an internet connection thru windows ICS? that would definantely slow you down ....

the RTP 300 can also be used as a router as well, which is how I have it....

But you should not have a router behind a router ......NAT to NAT causes Problems

Ugh... don't post on something you don't understand.

There is only one router. The RTP300. It goes Cable Modem -> RTP300 (router/voip) - my internal network.
