Thanks for the reply. I probably should have mentioned in my original post - to get the speed figures I've been using a combination of speedtest.net, and "multiple concurrent downloads".

That SH wireless is so bad doesn't surprise me - that I'm not even getting anywhere near maximum speed when in modem mode, is what's been causing some serious head-scratching. 20Mb or so wired, 7-9Mb tops wirelessly, that's worse than the old Motorola Surfboard. It's almost "as if" the SH is capping the speed when anything other than the Ethernet cable is used...

I probably will change my Netgear for an 802.11g box, but right now it's not as if that's anywhere close to being maxed out. Will probably have to do battle with VM Tech Support soon...
