Hi, after constant connection drops I purchased a new Billion 7800N router (as it had glowing reviews).

Sure enough, it has not dropped out since. However laptop/PC speeds are just ok (a bit worse than before) but my son now says that XBox live gaming is much worse than our old Belkin router with major lags.

I am supposed to be on to be on the 10Mb service via a modem. I've just done a speedtest.net test and it was 6.78 mbps (4.something the other day) download speed and 0.84 Mbps upload speed.

Please can anyone help with any suggestions for the following questions :-

1. Are the above figures ok ?
2. Are there any Billion tweaks/settings that I can make to improve things.
3. Are there any tweaks/settings that I can make to improve the Xbox live.

I'm not particularly technical so step-by-step help would be appreciated. Many thanks.
