hi, i have a 4mbps internet connection. When i go out straght through the cable modem from my PC I get about 200k per sec connection when downloading a file.

whenever I put my netgear WPN824 wireless router between my PC and my modem, each connection gets restrcied to about 5% of the total bandwidth available. example, if I download 1 large file I get no more than 25k per sec. if I download 10 large files at the same time they all get 25k per sec. This is not over a wireless connection, this is hard wired. anyone got any idae, i dont se any settings relatring to this on the router. I have a wireles laptop to use the with wireless features of the modem.. thanks..
 
i should also mention that I upgraded the firmware , didnt make any differnece.
 
What do you see using wireless?

Can you lock the ethernet ports on the router and your laptop to 100Mb/Full Duplex and see if that makes any difference?
