When my laptop is connected to the modem directly I get around 50mbps down and 40 mbps up. But then after I plug the modem lan into the router to split it and use wifi, the LAN speed decreases drastically to 15mbps down and 20mbps up. How can I fix this? Also the wifi speed for my laptop (Centrino N-6230) is slower than everybody else's. Even my iPhone is faster than my laptop's connection. =/
Depending on the Wireless device, speeds differ with the protocol a bit. A cable/hardwire connection will always be a faster. I would not get to hung up on speed test software, there are many factors when using different one's , your speed will vary wildly, form one to another. Your dealing with ALL the outside ISP equipment you have no control over. If you go to 10 different "Speed Test" software websites, you will get 10 different Uploads speeds, and 10 different Download speeds. Most of this is due to Outside equipment. You just may be Obsessing over something you can't control, but I could be wrong. Maybe your ISP is "throttling" your signal? http://www.pcworld.com/article/158552/check_ISP_speeds.html

Try this, assuming you're using Internet Explorer: Go to Tools > Internet Options and select the Connections tab. Does it show your old dial-up connection in the list? If so highlight it and click on REMOVE. Close IE and re-open it. It should now use the Belkin LAN connection.

Althoug this is doable it is not recommended as this router is a pile of **** and the wireless is crappy.
I would suggest a dedicated wireless access point.

Not sure if I understand properly but your router should have a WAN port or an "Internet" port
your modem should be connected to it and your PC should be on any of the LAN port

Try changing the channel that the router uses. This will be a setting in the GUI. I have a Netgear wireless router and if I let the router choose the channel to use, it always chooses the same channel that my cordless phone uses so whenever I use the cordless phone, I get kicked off. You can also try updating the firmware on the router but I'd bet trying a different channel(s) will work.

check the connections between the router and the modem either cable or dsl or whichever
and change the setting in the router interface so you know what the ssid is being broadcasted and the network key
