.....has slowed things down......about twice as fast as my stb but slower than a SACM on it's own nevertheless.
I have a netgear wgr614 (version 1) ....anyone got any ideas?

Ramrod, I don't have any experience with wireless routers, but you won't always get the speed from them you need for a 10Mb connection. There are different wireless standards which have different speeds (some are fast enough; some aren't), if you're connecting the wireless adapters with USB, that may also slow things down, and also interference with the signals may affect matters.

Might be a good idea to try a PC connected to the router via ethernet rather than wireless and see what speed you get then. If you get a good speed, you know the problem is with your wireless connection; if you get a poor speed, it's most likely to be with your router settings or the connection between router and modem.
