RBR50 unable to handle gigabit connection?

Hi there, I recently purchased the RBK50 to improve the WiFi range in my house and have configured the RBR50 as a router rather than an AP but it seems to be having trouble handling my gigabit connect...

    Hopefully NG can get this figured out once and for all.

      Hopefully it isn't a hardware limitation! Your double NAT experiment demonstrating better throughput provides me with some hope that it isn't hardware related.

        Hoping as well. Ya seems odd that the RBR50 does better behind a router for some reason. I'm going to put the RBR50 online this weekend directly to the modem and test again. Haven't had any time this week to play around. So this weekend will see what happens. :smileyhappy:
