Thank you for the reply. Well...I tried changing the channels as you suggested. They all seem relatively similar. The default setting was Automatic. I changed it to 1, to 11, and a few in between. 1 and 11 were the only ones that didn't come with the warning "You've chosen a channel that isn't recommended for optimum performance", but I tried them anyways. Every one seems the same: all give between 25-29mbps. On my old router I was always a little over 30mbps.
Better plan, better router, everything physically in the same spot in the house. I guess it is most likely something to do with the settings, but changing channels seemed to have no effect.
Just out of curiosity, since I'm fishing for a solution here, when I was in the settings I noticed this:
Just looked kind of wierd, since it was set to "Use the Following DNS Server Adresses" and then none were listed. This wouldn't be affecting anything would it?
Also...noticed the Connection Type was set to Bridge, not Router. I saw it listed on the one details page, but it didn't have the option to change the Bridge setting, it just stated that that's what the Connection Type was set at. That wouldn't be affecting the speed either would it?
