I found one and booted it up it seemed to work, I installed DD-WRT firmware. It has been running for 6hrs non-stop wireless and wired have been transferring files back and forth with no problems. I like how with DD-WRT I can turn off the WIFI.

My speed test:

My old router NEVER got over 10Mb/s a sec.

What connection speed do you pay for from your ISP?  Using a different router won't net you better download speeds, it is more than likely you chose a different server to run the speed test from to explain the differences.

I have to go along with Jim on this one. My router recently died and I bought a new one and got really crappy speeds. I actually returned it and bought a different one. I got way better speeds with the new one. I looked it up and many people had the same problem with the other router. Slow speeds.

I pay for 10mb/s but I found out my provider has a new feature called speed boost which this router takes advantage of. I did the IP release / renew thing a few times and still get the fast speed. Thing that bugs me is I just bought a router 4 months ago when my last one died, my new one is the WRT160N.

And this old router is faster than the new one.

I guess you guys purchased defective routers.  On wireless I could understand due to different signal strengths and maybe even different signaling technologies (802.11b vs 802.11g), but on a wired connection you should get what you pay for and nothing else.  It's possible you set up your router incorrectly or had a bad cable if you had bad speed.  Your cable modem and the speed assigned to it by your ISP is what determines your router's connection speed.
