5. Routing Performance
If you need a router capable of handling a Fiber To The Home (FTTH) Internet connection, then the WGR615V isn't for you.

Not that its ~25Mbps up and downlink throughput is bad, mind you. But many current-generation consumer routers are providing wire-speed 100Mbps routing. It's also unusual to see Response (ping) times about 1msec or so. So the 11 msec times are a bit odd.
UDP streaming performance will handle VOIP calls just fine. But if you're going to be watching streaming video at rates above 500kbps or so, you may have picture breakup problems.
