OK an update, As some may remember I got my R37 late (was an R36 tester and seems many had the same problem). I had one day when wireless was very poor but since I swithed the wireless out of Auto mode and onto a specified channel (lucky 13 for me), all has been well.

Two things I have noticed, firstly i now have fewer big "yellow" peaks on the Thinkbroadband monitor, and these seem to be around the time I do a speedtest. Secondly the ping time or latency is now generally much lower. Although here always seems to be a big peak around midnight.

Finally this morning I also got my downstream speed upgrade, now showing 62.03 with a ping of 14mS. Whether this affects general performance, time will tell but at the moment it is all good.
