ok heres the story. so i emailed my isp support about trying to get the full 15mbps they say. they say my modem is limiting my connection at 10mbps but also my router is limiting it at 10mbps too. My router is currently a US Robotics Wireless MaxG Router. The transfer speed on the router specs are 125mbps max. do i need to replace my router or is the rep just seeing my router limited to 10mbps b/c my modem cant handle more than that? thx for your help I Don't Check My PM's Pentium 4 @ 2.66 Ghz 533 Mhz FSB 1.25 Gb PC2700 RAM Nvidia Geforce 6600GT 40gb seagate hdd 160gb seagate hdd DVD Burner CD Burner Windows XP

If the modem is the limiting factor then it makes no difference what your router is capable of. Your network can only perform as fast as the slowest link. I used to have a signature but it disappeared and I just couldn't be bothered writing another so please feel free to ingore this.

devils6889, the guy at your ISP is full of crap. They gave you an old modem that is maxed out at 10 MBs per second. Either have them give you a new modem or go buy your own. You router can easily handle up to 100 MBs over wired ethernet and up to 125 MBs over it's wireless connection.

15mbps or 1.5mbps? 15mbps seems pretty high... Give a person a fish, they eat for a day. Suggest they internet search and they learn a skill for a lifetime.

15mbps. i got this modem for free when i signed up like 5 yrs ago and they said they would replace my modem for free. I Don't Check My PM's Pentium 4 @ 2.66 Ghz 533 Mhz FSB 1.25 Gb PC2700 RAM Nvidia Geforce 6600GT 40 Gb hdd DVD Burner CD Burner Windows XP

Wanderer, there are some really fast internet options available now. verizon has a fiber optic service for home users that is 30 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload. granted it's $175 per month, but you can get it.
