I did have some trouble with streaming and loading office files across my LAN, but it turns out that my SH2 in full mode was struggling with the SamKnows white box (gigabit version). Now I have disconnected the box and, consequently, ended my arrangement with SamKnows, my SH2 ethernet is running sweetly. Indeed, it seems snappier than my WNDR3700 when the SH2 is in modem-only mode.

I'm not sure about the wireless yet. The SH2 reaches all the places in my property that the WNDR3700 does, but I have had more incidents of my wireless devices logging on to my neighbour's BT FON and my own attic-based FON HOT spot. Currently I have 5MHz disabled. None of my devices require it or can use it. My Xperia U android managed a download speed of 28Mb in the same room as the SH2, something never achieved with the WNDR3700. My previous best was 19Mb.
