I'll get my Dad to ping the router today.

The wireless strength is good upstairs (80Mbps) and medium downstairs (40Mbps).

The browsing speed is okay but not brilliant next to the router and pathetic downstairs.

I used 64bit WEP as that's all my pc will do. The kit will handle WPA.

Do you think it's an encryption problem?
