Why didn't you go for new kit when signing up to a new contract?

It's a Samsung RV520 which has an Intel Centrino Wireless - N130 adapter inside it, and that says it can handle speeds up to 150 depending on your specs, so I'd appreciate someones insight into if it's actually worth getting my own router.

It seems like that's an option, but I'd still like to find out if a separate wireless router would help improve the speeds before I get the screwdrivers out. I never mentioned it's a superhub 1 as well, which seems to have wireless problems anyway as far as I can recall. Cheers again though :tu:

Sure the Superhub 1's wireless can be dire but on the other hand your laptop has an artificially crippled card that can't do more than 40-50Mbps anyway, no matter what router you have. Ideally, you'd upgrade both.

Ah right :( I'll still call about a new superhub as I think I'll be going down the route of the new adapter that thenry linked me to. I'm guessing the adapter is a universal item that upgrades iffy ones like mine? Many thanks to yourself qasdfdsaq and also to thenry for the help and advice.
