As posted elsewhere in the forum, I have just upgraded from 60Mb/s to (up to) 152Mb/s.

My current setup is SH1 in Router Mode, with a Tenda N60* attached to that, and a cable from the N60 going upstairs to a little TP-Link Gig switch, with the main PC, a Linksys WRT54GS, and a printer from the switch.

I noticed that on speedtest.net I was only getting between 75 - 85Mb/s (with 12Mb/s up), so I plugged in a laptop (using the same CAT5 cable that is used between the SH1 and the N60) to the SH1, and got 145-153Mb/s consistently.

When I plug the laptop into the N60( using the same cable as before), I still only get 75-85Mb/s (with 12Mb/s up) - this is with all other network cables unplugged.

I have checked on the N60, and there are no QoS settings (there is something called "Bandwidth Control").

SH1 IP address is 192.168.100.1, and the N60 is 192.168.0.1, and the N60 is enabled as the DHCP server, with devices attached to the N60 are in the range 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.200. Bandwidth Control under the N60 Advanced tab is disabled, and I am on the latest N60 firmware.

I am obviously doing something basic wrong, but much searching on the intraweebs provides no answers - any suggestions to resolve this, please?

*N60 has TiVo, BluRay, and Xbox360 attached by CAT5, and there are various laptops, tablets, smartphones attached to the N60 or the Linksys depending where they are in the house.
