[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 719443, member: 38928"] The Airport card in your Mac is just a wi-fi adaptor. The Firewall on your Mac won't be throttling you speeds. I suspect it's your router setup. You say you've disabled your router firewall.... how? You should need to disable it. Just open and forward the port. You don't even need to do that if the router supports uPNP. I've had a few issues with Linksys routers in the past so my gut feeling is that your router is at the heart of the problem. To try and debug where the problem lies why not connect your modem directly to your Mac by ethernet cable. If you see a speed increase it's your router, if you don't it's not. Worth a go. [/QUOTE]
