you hit the nail with the slow hard drives. slow ass udma33 on the desktop. with all your comments i guess my 1-1.5 MBps speed aint too bad now is it...

yup, CAT-5 cable here, should be good quality too, i didnt cheap out when it came to it...

no 10/100 indicator lights on the router...

i guess im happy with the router, i just purchased it recently. i love wireless internet.. the only problem i have right now (and this might be verizon's fault, im not sure), is that every couple of days the router loses its ip address supplied over ppoe. trying to reconnect using the router's firmware doesnt help... the only thing that helps is restarting the modem and the router.


thx for prompt responses btw guys
