Linksys WRT54GS Performance

Hi,

Can anyone tell me the maximum forwarding rate for a Linksys WRT54GS between its WAN port and the wired LAN ports.

My ISP has just upgraded my Internet bandwidth from 4Mb to 10Mb and I haven't seen much improvement - I've have traced the problem to my ageing SMC 7004WBR router which seems unable to forward data faster than 5.3Mb between its WAN ports and wired 100Mb LAN switch ports. (I've been running the speed test at

to check my connection speed.)

Removing the router and plugging the PC directly into my cable modem I get speeds of 9.7Mb, so I'm looking for a replacement router - potentially the Linksys WRT54GS - that's capable of forwarding faster than this so that I can see the benefit of the ISP upgrade on my LAN.

Thanks,

Dave
