I need a router that can do 10 Mb/s of throughput to the Internet (NAT performance) at video packet sizes and none of the review information I can find helps me. I replaced my 5 Mb/s router with a brand spanking new Cisco E2500. I only got 7 Mb/s Internet (NAT) throughput (on a 10 Mb/s connection) and still could not play HD content on my computer. When I bypassed the router, I got around 9 Mb/s. Thinking it was a computer issue I bought a new TV with direct Internet access, and it can't play HD content either through the router (even wired). If I bypass the router, again, it works. Every comment and review I've seen on routers focus on their wireless bandwidth but what I don't understand is that if you can't get 5-6 Mb/s of video through the Internet connection on a 100 Mb wired Ethernet link, does wireless bandwidth really matter a lot? I'd think Internet performance would be the key. Am I missing something? Can anyone confirm or deny the poor NAT performance of this product or recommend one that works with HD video?
