I have a BEFSR41 v2 linksys wired router. I have a 10mb/2mb connection but with my router connected I lose much of my download bandwidth. Is there any remedy for this.

Without the router just a direct connect to the modem I have 10588d/l
and with the router I have a 5878 connection

Firmware has been upgraded

Update:

Apparently they had these issues with v1 of this router as well.
Bandwidth dropping and such. Linksys says they had the issue
mostly resolved with the firmware upgrade but not completely.

It was completely resolved in the v4.2
But alas this doesn't help my little v2.

Off to purchase a new router.
