I have a dual-band WRT600N Linksys router. After several hours my connection speed on my ISP speedtest drops from normal 10-15 MBS down to 2-5 MBPS. If I power cycle the router, the speed immediately jumps back to normal, until the same problem happens again. The router is plugged into a cablemodem, and the system is a desktop hard-wired into the router. I do have wifi but it is secured and I confirmed no other systems are taking bandwidth. Any ideas? Thanks

The MTU was set to AUTO. I will try manually reducing it to 1300 to see if its fixes the slowdown problem . I have the most up to date firmware (upgraded yesterday- did not fix problem). Will let you know - thanks
