Thanks - have tried this already. Have tried different channels - currently on channel 5 - seems to be the best. Looking at neighbouring networks via InSSIDer there are 10 networks it finds, most on channel 11 or 1 - one on 6. Channel 5 seems to give me the best signal.

Also make sure it isn't obstructed, or has loads of interference. Check your driver settings on your computer to prevent power saving mode, 100Mb full duplex, etc.

Have checked power and driver settings - all seem okay. Considering trying to move hub, but limited on where I can put it as it has to be connected to V+ box in front room via coax cable. Might be able to move it out into front room a bit more, but it will still be downstairs and my home office is upstairs. Bought an repeater, but it doesn't seem to help.

My Shub has a better signal than the Netgear i had previously so either some settings are a bit skewed or the unit is faulty.

My old system consisted on the Virgin modem connected to my V+ box in the front room - connected via ethernet to a Linksys wireless router in my office upstairs. The wireless signal/speed in the office was excellent and I could use my media player, wii, and laptop in my front room with excellent speeds and a good signal. Now I get a good signal in the front room from the Superhub, but an extremely weak signal upstairs (plus the Internet dropping out - which might be a problem with the Laptop/Atheros, though I have the latest driver - each morning I have to go to the IPv4 settings, change to static, save, then change back to automatic IP address, then I get the internet. Each morning when I switch on, the Network comes up as Unidentified and no internet access - only doing the IPv4 thing seems to solve this. (Have tried everything else I have found on the internet to solve this, but nothing works long-term).

Thanks for your input - seem to be going round in circles with this - just wish I'd never screwed with my original set-up!
