Hi there RB2004,

Yes i am happy with the speeds i get on all the wired devices and fibre is very much over kill for me!! I just want to be able to stream HD video content across the network - not full bluray rips but files that are more like 8 - 10gig in size. Currently, it takes around 15 minutes to transfer a 350mg file of a SD TV program from my WD Live hub to a tablet connected to "network 2" - it shouldnt be this slow!! To give an idea of different speeds i get here are some stats regarding internet connection speed taken from various places in the network (these are from one of the speed test websites).

Client connected wirelessly in same room as Virgin Hub: 37.69Mbps down, 6.69 Mbps up and a 20ms ping. Pretty happy with that and reckon that would be fast enough to stream HD.
Client connected wirelessly in same position as wireless repeater: 5.28Mbps down, 6.49 up and 18ms ping. Down is pretty slow i am sure you will agree!
Client connected wirelessly to wireless repeater: 2.75Mbps down, 7.17Mbps up and 43ms ping

I do not know the speeds of devices "talking" to each other across the network, only to the internet but i am sure it helps demonstrate some of the slow spots!!

Thanks for your help!
