Default Routers

So, I had a Linksys wireless router. It worked great, but then it died. I'm sad about this now cause I got a Belkin as a replacement which doesn't seem to work as well.

We have two android phones that we connect to our wifi, but they only seem to download correctly, not upload. With the old router everything worked fine. If I run a speed test on the phones the download part zips right through and then just hangs on the upload part forever. Some other apps tend to display this behavior too. It seems like maybe a port forwarding issue, but I have no idea how to deal with that on a phone. There don't seem to be any wifi settings on the phones for setting up a static ip.. nor would I want one cause I want to use it on other wifi connections too. The wifi connection also seems to 'refresh' itself a lot or something, like the wifi icon will blink out for a second and then reappear/reinitialize.

Any thoughts? Is there some trick to getting a Belkin to not be a POS?
