Hi all,

I recently moved my TV package from SKY and over to VM - very happy with it so far.

I also decided to upgrade my existing 10mbps broadband to 20mbps. I got the new modem connected into my existing Belkin 54g F5D7230-4 (version 1.x) wireless router.

However, I seem to have a problem with getting anything over 10mbps using my wireless router. If I connect the laptop straight into the modem or router I get the expected 18-16mbps no problem - any wireless connectivity bottoms out at most just over 10mbps.

I have updated all the relevant firmware and drivers on both the router and laptop but still no joy.

Signal strength is excellent all over the house and even tried using it sat next to the router. Is it a case of buying a new N router and that will sort it?

All pointers will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Jay
