My up and download speeds have slowed to near dial-up proportions,

anywhere, and get an immediate burst of speed, 4,5, or 6MB, and it
immediately begins to slow to 1-300K, some times less!
I have checked my speeds with Broadband, DSL, and SpeedTest. All
give the same results in the 2-300K area downloading. I have called
Comcast regarding this and all they came up with was to disconnect
everything and connect directly to the modem. They claimed that
their equipment indicated that I was getting 4-5+MB consistently and
uploads in the 350K vicinity. I did connect directly to the modem
and, for once, Comcast was telling the truth.
This all started sometime after I had installed the wireless router.
We had a defective Netgear which it replaced. I have removed the
wireless completely and it is still slow.
So right now, if you connect a computer directly to the modem, you
get normal speeds, but if you connect any computer through the router
wireless router, then speeds are slow? What happens if you remove
the wireless router and connect directly to the wired modem (no
wireless router attached?)
