after 15 months of trying, finally getting someone in marketing to pay a
little attention, kinda feels good...

*"NOTE:* You can set the *Upstream Bandwidth *to *Auto* or *Manual*,

To allow your router to detect the maximum level, keep the default *Auto*.
To specify, select *Manual* then enter the appropriate bandwidth and select
Kbps or Mbps."

There's even a contest. Why didn't I think of that?
