Hi

I just upgraded my broadband from 2MB to 20MB.
I'm having problems with this upgrade.

If I connect directly to the cable modem and do various speed tests from speedtesting site I get 20mb. If I connect my wireless router to it and wire it to my pc I get 20mb but if I use wireless instead of the cable I only get if I'm lucky 7mb.

I have a safecom SWBR-5400. I know its known for being slow. I ve not had a problem while I've been using 2mb. Is it compatible with a 20mb surely the only thing that may not be compatible would be the modem which if I connect to 192.168.100.1 it says that it is receiving 20mb
Any ideas as to why wireless does not give me a 20mb connection?

Or is it time to upgradE?
