Hi

I wonder if anyone can advise

I have just upgraded to 20Mb BB and the speed throuth the modem is between 12 and 18Mbs

Through the router with a cable is similar speeds

But using the wireless even though I am 3 feet away records a speed of between 4 and 6 Mbs

Is the wireless option this much slower normally

Router is a safecom swbar 5400

Wasnt a problem on 4mb as the wireless picked up 4mb

any help appreciated
