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
Well not to sound to smug, jb7 - just go to a wired network, throw out the wireless rubbish . It will give you less hassle is setting up a whole network, as you posted it will give you a near full internet speed for what you're paying - wouldn't you like that jb7? Oh not forgetting kicking over the lurking freeloaders that maybe using your net connection on wireless while you're not looking.

For me anything wireless(modern) is just plain junk, really a whole idea for printing wasteful money other than anything pre microprocessor is fine like ham radio or CB which works great.
