The wg602v2 isn't a router, it's an AP.

The 602's bridged ethernet port, even when the AP is in WDS repeating 
mode, will perform as good as you'll get out of 11b (if it's repeating a 
11b AP), it's only the wireless side which "suffers" as you describe - but 
you won't get what you'd normally expect out of 10M ethernet from 11b 
anyway, it's more akin to 6M.

You haven't exactly said what you require, do you require 10M FD ?
