Should have done bridge mode from day one.

It's weird. I just got BB50 as well, and plugged in I was getting around 45Mbps which is fine. Wirelessly I was only getting about 12Mbps. I was screwing around with the router settings, but nothing seemed to fix it. I was clicking one setting at a time to try and see if I could get different results and then clicking them back, and all of a sudden it started working better, with all the settings at default. I think during peak time (weekday evening) I was getting a little over 30Mbps over wireless, so I'm not too disappointed in that.
