I had virgin 20MB broadband installed and they also installed a Netgear WGR614 v9 wireless router. I notice that I have to keep rebooting the wireless router every few days or so because things slow down. I checked the router and I find that the diagram on the underside shows that for 100MBs you should be using a GREEN ethernet cable and for 10MBs you use a Yellow cable. The cable supplied is a Yellow cable and the ethernet connector on the unit is framed in yellow plastic.

Does this mean that I've paid for 20MBs and I'm actually restricting my router to 10MB? Connecting the laptop to the cable modem directly with the blue ethernet cable supplied by virgin shows no problems at all and things bounce around quite quick.

Any comments??
