slow dsl router speed

I just got a netgear mr814 wireless dsl router. i connectec all the pcs to a hub and connect the hub to the router. it works. but i found the speed is slow when there are lots of connections, esp. when using p2p(emule, bt++). the download speed is 60kB (my dsl speed is 1.5mbps=180KB,all other pcs are turned off) and the # of bt++ connection is about 60. but if i connect the pc to dsl modem directly, the bt++ speed is 170kB and the # of connection is 170+. but if there is only 1 download job through router, the speed is 170kB. i suspect the router does not have enough data processing power(can process at most 60 concurrent connections). Is that right? or i missed something?

Routers usually have built in firewalls which interfere with P2P apps a lot. If yours has a firewall, try turning it off or setting your computers IP as the DMZ host (disables firewall for that 1 pc)
I dont have any experience with wireless routers so I'm not too sure what could cause a slowdown, I've never had problems like that on my wired routers.
Hopefully someone else can help you better, good luck.
