CTU350 Slowed me down

Hey guys. I got my CTU350 router today. Using it on an Alltel UM150. I have two computers trying to access the router. One is idle the other i'm doing some net surfing on nothing too demanding.

My speeds have went from 1000+ down to 600+ down. Anyone know why and if there's anything I can do to fix this? I have the router set to use superG (not sure what it is) and allow g only. Both my computers have g able wireless cards. One computer is like 2 foot from the router the other is maybe 12-15 foot from the router.

Thanks in advance,
-Taylor

I don't know about the Super G setting, you might try to change it.

But I found that if I used WPA 2 security it slowed down a lot. I use WPA AES and it works pretty good.

But I see just a little slow down using the 350. It drops the speed around 100 kbps for me.

I had this problem when I hooked my desktop into my 350-enabled LAN. Turns out my desktop having been starved from Internet for months, once it found a connection, started background-updating like it had the cure for cancer in it.

I know it sounds like simplicity overheated, but, completely shut down all computers but one. If your speed improves, you'll now know why.

turns out the um150 will have Interference with the ctr350 so get a usb cable and put the modem were it has good signal
