Linksys Router not loading some pages

I was using the internet on my new IMAC and it was running great. Very fast. I have now added Vonage to the mix and installed a Linksys BEFSX41 router to the fold and have my mac connecting using DHCP and the router logs into my server using PPPoE. Problem is, without the router in place and the mac logging onto the internet I can connect to ALL websites very quickly. With the router in place I can get to some websites but a lot of them Hang and don't load anything until Safari or Firefox time out. I have unplugged the Ethernet cable from the Router during the stall and it quickly tells me that the internet connection was lost so I know that my mac is sensing the internet. I have also removed the modem wire from the router and plugged the Speedstream modem directly into the mac AGAIN (going back to the original settings) and those same sites that lag, load very quickly. What do you think that the problem is?? I've been working on this for days now with no fix. If I lose the router then I lose my Vonage telephone. Info : Running an Imac 20" new last month, Speedstream DSL high speed modem, Linksys BEFSX41 router and a Linksys PAP2 Phone adapter.

Imac 20" Mac OS X (10.4.8) using speedstream DSL Modem, Linksys BEFSX41 Router, Linksys PAP2 Phone Adapter, Running Safari and Firefox with same results. BEFSX41 router has firewall and VPN Endswitch (Which I have no clue what that is or does)

Although this is a long message some examples are: Vonage website vonage.ca won't load at all. went to my scotiabank website and get the main page but when I click to take me to the login page that page won't load. There have been many others also. Linksys website I cannot get to the forums page but I can get to their easy answer page but their answers don't resolve my issues. I have not contacted them yet as I have read that they don't seem to want to support Mac users. (this may be untrue but I thought that I would try here first)
Thank you all who try to help me in advance.

The way you word this sounds to me like the linksys came with the vonage package. If so, they would probably be the best ones to contact for support.

Aside from that, the first thing I would check is the version of firmware you have. Is it up to date? This is the most current version I believe v1.52.10 if I read the website correctly.

Oh and make sure you check on your router first to see what version of the router you have. I see like 4 or 5 different versions listed ... ie ... befsr41 v1, v2, v3, v4, and v4.1. Get the right version of the product first before you download the firware update.
