Linksys router slowing internet connection significantly.

Can anyone help me with this? I have a Linksys WRT54G router that's worked fine since I bought it (08) until recently. Today netflix on my xbox 360 wouldn't load movies, etc. so I did a speed test and got about .2-.5 megabytes per second through the router. When I connect my Macbook pro (10.4) directly to the modem it gets 12+mbps. Linksys wants to charge for tech support since I'm out of warranty, but I've updated the firmware and reset the modem, etc. Anyone ever had this happen before?
