The SH is worse than most in terms of wireless rabge; but other routers also suffer signla attenuation thrugh walls and due to distance. I've got a two top notch routers (1 on Infinity, one on VM) - different brands and obnce you're in another room with walls in between, speed drops significantly.

So the solution I've used is to put a wirelss access point in any room that needs it. I punt ethernet round the house with powerlines/homeplugs and then plug the access point into the ethernet outlet of the Homeplug.

Thing is with wireless, unless you put heavy duty high gain antennae onto your router (if you can), and unless you radiate from the right position, wireless starts out as a difficult proposition in terms of expectation versus reality. So money needs to be thrown at a requirement. A sound general rule actually.

It's a pity that VM's advertising of that wretched SH's wirelss capabilities doesn't come anywhere near to reality.
