I'm using ethernet.
I've been asking at the forum for my router and they've been concerned mostly with port forwarding, and all signs point to that being okay.
I've been playing with the settings, basically trying to get the best performance out of it, and I've managed to get a decent speed, but the connection keeps dropping, and it's also making browsing slow at some points and frequently disconnecting internet software such as Yahoo.
