Hi there, I have just signed up to the 20M and have a slight problem. With the modem plugged straight into my PC I get the full 20M speed but, when I plug modem into wireless router and hard wired from wireless router to PC I get a 45% reduction in speed (even though it is hard wired from router!) the router is a good one (Netgear WPN824) so where could the problem lie? I have had a look around other posts and VM website but nothing I do seems to help.

Anyone any suggestions?

Cheers

Hi, I have found the cause of the problem but I dont understand why at the moment, due to my lack of knowledge in networking. I went into the Netgear router settings online and ticked a box called "Disable SPI Firewall" after doing this my broadband went from 10Meg to 20 Meg.
