PAD06 - Frustration

Today was an exercise in frustration. I upgraded my internet connection to Cox Premier, which is supposed to give you up to 15 Mbps download and 2 Mbps upload. When I tested it using the router shown above, I was getting a whopping 800 kbps download. After playing phone tag with Cox and Linksys, both of whom blamed the other, I went down to CompU$A and picked up a Netgear router. Now my speeds are around 5 Mbps but still nowhere near where they should be. If I connect directly to the computer without the router I do get 15 Mbps download, so the problem is definitely with the router. Hence the title of my photo, today: Frustration.
