yo xxstang66xx: did you already buy that router? hope not, because i may have found out a fix for your slow loading. i fixed it by changing the DNS servers in my network settings. the story is, i had two DNS addresses that i used to use, and suddenly my ISP changed to two different ones, so i began using those. i've had them for about a week or two, but just now i changed back to the old ones and it's a lot more responsive. i no longer have the long delays before a page starts to load. i am fortunate because i had my old DNS addresses written down, but you may need to call up your ISP, tell them you're having problems with the DNS servers they're giving you, and see if they can give you different ones. if this is indeed your problem, buying a new router will not help you. and another hint: if you currently have your DNS addresses coming in through automatic detection, you will have to override them with manual ones. i had my DNS settings on auto and that's how i picked up the slow new DNS addresses in the first place. by the way, if you don't believe me, here's the official Apple help page on it:

hope that helps! good luck.

EDIT: btw, there's also opendns.org if you want to try their DNS servers. haven't tried them myself.
