Thank you for pointing me in the right direction
arcimedes. My Wifi shows as .... Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 WB-EG

General Maximus ...1) if you are using windows 8 I would assume that your laptop is a fairly recent model using fairly recent hardware which means it is likely to support the higher speeds
2) the wireless on the shub 1 is very bad and pretty much any new router you buy is going to have better wireless than shub 1
3) that being said, there are many factors which affect wireless throughput so don't expect to go out and buy a proper router and think it is going to give you 100/6 all the time
I'll do my router recommendations tomorrow morning because I am way too tired to give my fan boy speech atm, my poor eye lids are closing

Yes I am using 8.1 My laptop is a
Samsung NP350V5C-A06UK. I am not expecting 100/6 but had hoped to benefit by more than the measly extra 2Mbps I am getting using just the superhub in WiFi following my speed increase from 60 to 100Mbps.
I have kind of whittled my Router to two options, I am trying to stick to around the £50 mark and they are...
1) D-Link DIR-850L AC1200 1200Mbps Simultaneous Dual-Band Wireless AC Broadband Router ( on the grounds that I hope it is backwards compatible but that my next laptop will probably support AC.
2) Cisco-Linksys E2000 Advanced Wireless-N Router. I like Linksys
Maybe one of these will pass your fan boy standards.

qasdfdsaq That's the channel, not the channel mode. Not sure what it's called on the Shrub these days but it used to be a 145/300Mbps setting.

Sorry qasdfdsaq, the only thing I can find which is remotely like 145/300Mbps is the Downstream Max Traffic Rate ...112640000 bps <dunce hat donned for the second day in a run>

Given that's it's a b/g/n card, i.e. no a or ac, then it's clearly already a budget/low-end/cheapo model. El-cheap low-end cards are also frequently single-stream only limiting throughput to 72Mbps link rate and around 50Mbps TCP in typical conditions.

Not sure what this means. Tried to figure out what you were saying but the results of my googling
link rates and TCP made my head hurt.
