P.S. Does the Tenda have colour coded lights to indicate GbE vs. FE link?

Thanks, I'll try that.
re PS, no, it doesn't (but how would I know, I am slightly colour-blind...
)
Update at 17:54
Dragged and dropped some 2GB files between the main computer upstairs and a laptop attached directly to the N60 downstairs, and got average speeds of 21MB/s from computer to laptop, and 27MB/s from laptop to computer (so 170Mb/s and 220Mb/s) - this is backed up by a test from a bit of freeware called LanSpeedTest Lite showing roughly the same speeds on transferring just under a 1GB test file.
So, the LAN is capable of more than the 75Mb/s I get from speedtest.net....
