For the limitation, I cannot help you. But allowing only an IP range, you can use iptables. You define the default rule for INPUT packets to DROP and allow only a range (e.g. 192.168.0.0/24). That would give something like: iptables -A INPUT -p ALL -i your_interface -s ip_address_or_range

As long as speedport.ip is 192.168.2.1, the routes are okay, and the resolv-file is okay aswell. It's most likely either DNS-cacheer, i.e. your own router, or the DNS-server your ISP is giving you beeing the bottleneck. You could go ahead and dig(1) both those servers and perhaps time(1) that.
