Change this to something like 365 days

Make sure all of your wireless clients are tuned to the same channel

That would be how you boost speed. But its already on. I knwo of something that increases upstream speed but unless you constantly uploading to FTP servers etc, its pretty pointless.

Not really a good idea in this day and age of internet hijacking, and plus you just gave us all you SSID so even if you hide that we can come along in our wireless laptops and connect on your network. Not that any of us here would but there are some strange people out there. Consider enabling WEP or WPA security. (Preferably WPA, its better :))
 
is it possible that cause my security is not setup that that can be causing some of my problems?

and i tryed puting in 365 but it goes back to 0
 
i wouldnt say that the error you are having is caused by a security issue. Its more likely to be abuggy firmware version on your router, Windows XP being daft or some other reason out of your control, ISP perhaps.
