Ok so I'll wait it out a few days I suppose and see if the speeds improve. Can I stay in bridged mode for the firmware to be applied or should I stay connected directly to the Hitron?
Let's say best case scenario the update applies and speeds are back to normal.. Should I be concerned with performance of any other devices hardwired directly into my D-Link after I'm bridged? I have a couple Xbox's, my TV, bluray etc. And I have about a dozen ports I'm forwarding on my D-Link as well.
I have no problem upgrading to a new router with 10/100/1000 ports however I did just buy this D-Link router about 4 months ago so it's a bit crappy I'd have to upgrade to a model I could've just paid another $20 for to buy.
Wondering if you can give me a recommendation between the D-Link 850L for $100 or the D-Link 868L for $168? Both have the 10/100/1000 ports but the 868L seems to be the fancier model. I just want to make sure I don't need another modem for a while.
