One of the reasons for the disparity in download speeds between direct
connection to cable modem, and through the router, could be due to the
router not supporting DOCSIS 3.0 standard, which your cable modem very
likely does support now (or very likely must sup

Hello,
Did you try looking under every "nook and cranny" in the BIOS? In some
