So I phoned buffalo and they basically put me through the reset process, while blaming Virgin Media. When the reboot was completed (2 hours later) the connection was improved though not perfect. I realised today (3 days later) that the network was no longer secure . So I ahve put back the WEP encryption, and everything is running slow again. This includes the computer whichis wired to the router.

Does anyone have any idea why? Buffalo didn't have a clue...

Thanks

If as you say your speeds are normal when connected direct to the modem, then it does point the router being the cause of your slow speeds.

You may be better getting yourself a new router Try PC World .http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/edi.../?int=home_nav
