Default Internet Speed Issues with Linksys WAG54 G2 on BSNL Broadband

Hi,
I have a BSNL broadband connection with 256 to 2 MBps line (Home 500CP) in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh. Recently, I purchased a Linksys WAG54 G2 ADSL+ Wireless router and configured it using the CD provided but noticed that the Internet speed was very slow. I contacted the Linksys technical support for help and they did try to reconfigure the gateway multiple times but the speed issue was not resolved. They also reflashed the firmware. They even replaced my gateway but the problem still persists. Finally they told me that it could be some settings from BSNL which are not matching with the router settings. Can someone help me by providing their router settings if your router is working fine with BSNL connection and no speed issues so that I can set the same on my router and check? Your help in this regard will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advane.

Regards
Venkat

USE OPEN dns 208.67.220.220
AND 208.67.222.222
Test speed at speedtest.net mumbai /sydney server.
and give links here.

If you have BSNL modem compare speeds with Linksy's .

@mvenkat_2000

1.No problem. Easy to copy and paste in the address bar.

2. Confirm Linksy's Modem/router was used in WIFI mode.

Quote:
ISP BSNL Server Mumbai
WAG54 G2 D/L 1.04Mbps U/L .09Mbps 96ms
WA1003A D/L 1.70Mbps U/L .35Mbps 86ms
3. If confident, download TCP/IP optimizer from
speedguide.net.
(a) Save as back up present settings.
(b) Try default values suggested.
(c) Try recommended values.
in this application.
The speed bar : available max speed say 2 Mbps.


3. Please Confirm Linksy's modem/router is stable now.
for reference:

Forgot to mention... the speed test was done on Wifi in both the routers.

What is TCP/IP optimizer? do i need to download in all the laptops i use? Also, there were links showing the linksys router settings page in your first post, am i supposed to use the same setting in my router as well. Bit confused could you please clarify what are the steps that i need to follow now. Sorry about my ignorance.. am not that tech savy so sometimes cant follow your tech language :-(. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks so much for your guidance.
