is there any way I can make this faster? I have WPA2 set up, after messing about with the channels I find that channel 1 is the fastest (probably because most my neighbours have channel 6). My router also allows me to choose an "extension channel", which it automatically selects as 5

so, any idea how to make the wireless faster? I am using a macbook pro 13inch 2009, that has a wireless N wifi card. Virgin gave their own router, a dlink dir-615. It has 2 antenna's and costs about £30. I am currently using my own router, a belkin F5D8232-4 which has 3 antenna's... so surely this should be faster? I have tried the dlink router, and speeds are worse.

What can i do to increase wireless speed?

thanks
