Thanks Tricky I may take you up on your advise when I get around to it, I'm rather busy with a Proliant server atm.
Anyway to update on my wireless problems, yesterday a new router arrived that I'm installing at a friends house, its a D-Link 624+ G ethernet router.
I decided just for the hell of it to dasiy chain it off my 614+ via a LAN port and connect my laptop over wifi, I got good results from it, email came down in seconds, pages downloaded without time outs, so I suspected the connection between my laptops card and my 614+ router to be the cause of my probems.
The weird thing is after I disconnected it to confirm my thoughts, the connection between my 614+ and laptop has improved to the same level, even without the other router turned on or plugged in.
Even today my email and browsing are perfect, I'm not sure what the problem was (or is) anymore, I'm just hoping it stays like this
. Today is the first time I've been able to download 25 emails in one go, so fast, over my wireless for a while.
Maybe the router knew what I was thinking and started to behave
I've switched between other wifi networks before (theres an open G one across the road) and this has never happened before.
