The next step is to upgrade your ethernet connections to gigabit, instead of 100 mbit.

I also have the MI424WR, and switching to something else would disrupt my cable TV service. So I purchased a gigabit switch, and connected all my ethernet to that. The switch then connects to the router. All the in-house wired connections then go at one gigabit. You should make sure the switch you buy has 802.3x flow control support, and also supports 9k jumbo frames. (I have jumbo frames off at the moment, but you want to keep that option open).
You also need to use cat 5e or cat 6 ethernet cable to all your wired devices, so you should check that as well. Most ethernet cables will have that info printed on the cable.
