Well, you've got at least four dropped data segments in that little bit of the trace. Figure out where the packets get dropped and why, then once that is worked out you can work on the TCP protocols. It certainly can't be the router's fault :).
TCP is just doing the best it can under the circumstances. But you should see similar droppage with other kernels.
