[CS-FSLUG] Linksys Router, 10 meg internet

Hi everyone,
I purchased a new cable modem after observing that the speed on the
old modem (a Linksys one) would never reach what my plan was now
supplying (10 meg). Stupidly, I did not try connecting the modem
straight to the computer. But, I had been told the modem couldn't do a
10 meg connection -- I'm not sure if that's true or not.
In any case, I hooked up a new Motorola Surfboard to the computer, ran
through the self-install and presto, I have a 10 meg connection --
until I reconnected it to the router. I now feel really dumb for not
trying it directly connected to the computer. After updating the
router firmware from it's old 2000-era firmware to the most recent
(2004) version for a BEFSR41 1.0 model, I'm now up to 6-8 megs, but I
still cannot reach the nearly-10 meg speed of a direct connection.
Any suggestions? Do you think this router is slowing things down or
that any router would take this much of a bite out of a 10 meg
connection?
Thanks,
Tim
