    I just recently moved into a new apartment and i got my internet setup
    when i first had it setup i had my computer connected directly to my cable modem, and my speed was great
    i was downloading at 400 kbs

    when i went to setup my router and wireless network everything went well
    i set it up right and connected one computer wirelessly, an Xbox 360 wired, and a computer wired

    but after everything was set up i realized my internet was terribly slow
    i have to reload internet pages several times just to see it
    i am positive is my router i have a Linksys WRT54GS

    does anyone know of any settings that might need to be corrected or any other things i can do to fix my internet speeds

    Your issue is likely your router now connects more devices which all share your connection.
