Wireless speed with Belkin Pre-N Router

Hello All

Am hoping someone can help me out here. I have the Belkin pre-N router with a recent update to the Virgin 20mb line.

On using the speedtest here i get:
1st 512K took 406 ms = 1261.1 KB/sec, approx 10391 Kbps, 10.15 Mbps
2nd 512K took 360 ms = 1422.2 KB/sec, approx 11719 Kbps, 11.44 Mbps
3rd 512K took 375 ms = 1365.3 KB/sec, approx 11250 Kbps, 10.99 Mbps
4th 512K took 1125 ms = 455.1 KB/sec, approx 3750 Kbps, 3.66 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 9278 Kbps, 9.06 Mbps

But obn using direct connected to the modem i get:
1st 512K took 187 ms = 2738 KB/sec, approx 22561 Kbps, 22.03 Mbps
2nd 512K took 203 ms = 2522.2 KB/sec, approx 20783 Kbps, 20.3 Mbps
3rd 512K took 234 ms = 2188 KB/sec, approx 18029 Kbps, 17.61 Mbps
4th 512K took 250 ms = 2048 KB/sec, approx 16876 Kbps, 16.48 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 19562 Kbps, 19.11 Mbps

Any ideas why the speed is literally halfed using wireless? i followed sum instructions on here for DRTCP and setting TCP receive window to 64240 and MTU to 1500. But this has not helped at all.

Any other advice or recommendation would be great.

Many thanks
