Router causing slow internet connection?

I installed a router a few days ago (D-link di-704p), and I have an extremely slow internet connection (like 1.4-7 Kbps). Other than the router, what could be causing this? I'm with eastlink, if that helps any.

 

Remove the router and check your speeds.

 

Yeah, connection is fine without the router. I just uploaded new firmware, problem solved.

 

Talk to Golliwog about this, we were having the same problem with our computers, he might be able to help you or tell you where to get the answers. I'd email him tho he doesn't come on here much.

 

refer to the above

 

Interesting. I have that exact same model, bought it over a year ago, never had any connection speed problems...
