| you'll need a docsis 3 modem to you get your speeds. the sb5160 is only docsis 2.
edit: sorry misread your post, thought you meant sb5120. What kind of modem do you have? |

I think you have your stuff backwards here?
What model modem and router do you have. Doesn't appear to be any such thing as a SB5160 router!
Sounds to me like you have either a Docsis 2 modem still or a router that isn't 10/100/1000 T-based, or even super junky network cards!

| Are the speeds via a wired connection or wireless?
What are the signal levels shown by the modem? S/N, Downstream power and Upstream power |
