Just tested my changes and at first Amazon sort of responded better, but 
as I started switching pages in my search it slowed way down. Eventually 
the router went off line at least on the LAN side, not sure about the 
WAN side. I cranked wifey's laptop nad it was unable to get to the 
router, so I'm sure that it's not just my box or a bad port.

Is it possible that a router could go bad on just one site? It doesn't 
make sense to me. And then what is going on with this site that causes 
my router to behave this way? Could IPv6 be a problem? I've heard that 
there isn't a way to kill it but I don't think this router supports it 
anyway, at least I haven't seen anything to setup for IPv6.
