I'm not actually sure if the Bebox supports it though, if not the only way to get better speed is to buy a better repeater.
Cheers, I'll have a play.

One other question though: The bebox has a built-in print server, which I'm quite happy with as I don't have to have the desktop that lives in the study switched on. I've set up the laptops to print from the bebox, but that no longer works now I'm going through the repeater, and I noticed my macbook is now trying to print through 192.168.1.253 (the repeater) rather than 254 (the router) as I set it up. Should I still be able to print through the router when connected to the repeater, or is that not expected to work anymore?
