Mines a bit too complex to photograph, I have the superhub in modem mode unser the stairs, it actually on a box of tiles under a shelf where the printer is (HP Laserjet 1022) which are both connected through a hole in the wall to my Asus RT-N16 (on a cupboard in the hall) - the printer by USB, the superhub by ethernet

From the router is 2 15 metre ethernet cables, each to a bedroom. One comes off at a netgear switch which has my desktop PC, PS3, Internet Telly and sometimes my laptop connected to it. The other bedroom goes to a TP-Link switch which has a desktop PC and PS3 attached.

Wireless theres 4 laptops, 2 'g', 2 'n'. My HTC HD2, a HTC Touch HD and Blackberry Bold 9200

So all in all 17 devices :) - not bad for 4 people :D

How come you haven't gone down the home plugs route, that's what I use for PS3, Blu ray player, TVs. I suppose not as quick as cabling though.

[craigj2k12]

get a far better connection via ethernet but after I laid them down I wish I had gone down that route, I took up the laminate flooring and ran a channel down the underlay, started about 10am, and didnt have any flooring down by 10pm, finished over the next few days and dont recommend it!

I've got my superhub in modem mode.

1TB Apple Time capsule router in N-Only 5Ghz wifi mode. Which assigns the ip address's

I have the D-Link router flashed with DD-WRT in AP mode which handles only 2.4Ghz devices and gets IP addresses from the time capsule

[carlwaring]

I have a standard VM hub.. That's it. Sorry :blush::D Oh, and an old Netgear WGPS606 upstairs, plugged into my TV, DB and Tivo.

In bedroom,

cable feed -> vmng300 which is slotted on top of subwoofer in small gap -> samknows router slotted under the desk in small gap and its antennaes not quite under the desk so they can stick up -> dir615 which is on a lower shelf in a bigger spaced area just enough height for its antennaes although they not used -> xbox360 direct ethernet and to my billion gigabit router, the cable to the xbox is small as in same room, the billion router is in my living room from my adsl days so has a long cat6 cable going there -> both pc's gigabit from the billion and its also my wireless access point.

So that setup has a cat6 going from bedroom to the billion and another cat6 back to the pc in this room, the other pc is in living room tho.

If I got a dir825 or 655 I would eliminate the billion saving a bit of power and cabling.

well thats a false reading, try running it again after disabling your antivirus/firewall, you cant download faster than the config allows

i dont think is flash reading
what happened really is i done a speed test to record it...
while was performing test before needle go to 100, i refresh the page of speedtest.net to take an other recording and done the test again
it seems the traffic flow and got this result at maximum the SH can get

of course i dont get 111 mb all the time but all are 104,105,106

here some from previous days

http://speedtest.net/result/1876143237.png

and i just disable my norton firewall & antivirus to give a go with speedtest but seems VM have cut me down to 4 mb
(disable & enable still same,reboot SH & pc no difference are down to 4)
http://www.speedtest.net/result/1884274511.png

dont know if is because here in london as Bank Holiday is heavy traffic but personal i have not download anything heavy this morning
my modem stats appears fine...so i guess is the area no one works today

shame

[craigj2k12]

anything above 106ish is a false reading, you physically cannot get higher. have a look at what i mean, look at the 2 attachments, one is real life performance, one is a cached result :D

[babis3g]

How do you find the Solwise home plugs? Which type are they? and which Cisco router is that?

Sorry for all the questions...

No problem :)

Yeah they've always been top notch for me. I've had the 85, 200 and now the 500 Mbps. In pic is the 500 Mbps.

The monitoring software is also pretty good can rename the plugs and monitor there speed, etc. The 500 work with the 200 also.

I had the 1gig as well but wouldn't work on my wiring.

It's the Linksys E2000.
