Router causes loss of bandwidth

[travayne]

I use Reliance WiMax for my internet.

I recently set up a Dlink DIR 300 router to enable me to have wifi access to my internet.

However, I've noticed then when I don't use the router and connect to the internet directly, I get download speeds of 37 kb/s. Whenever I use the router in the middle, My download speeds never go above 24 kb/s.

My PC is the only machine using the connection. I see this problem whether I access the internet over the wifi, or even if I connect a LAN Cable to the router...


My question is, is this drop in bandwidth normal for router setups?
Is there any way to fix it?

I have set up port forwarding for port 80 to let me keep my web server online.

Any help will be appreciated.

HMm... I set MTU 1452 last night before goin to sleep. Idunno if it's had any effect or not, but my bandwidth started acting properly this evening out of the blue.

No idea how it happend, but I'm not complaing.
