speedtest is far better on ethernet than N wireless
I have noticed that speedtest is far better using superhub connected via ethernet and turn off wi-fi.
Via superhub wi-fi :
via ethernet (without wi-fi on):
It proves that the superhub wi-fi is rubbish as my laptop supports N wi-fi however I couldn't get more than 16Mbps. It was no problem on my old modem via netgear wireless router previously on 50 Meg.

Re: speedtest is far better on ethernet than N wireless
That proves nothing really, where were you in releation to the superhub when you tested the wireless? Are you sure its on N when running the test?
I connect my laptop using wireless N and speed tests all come out pretty close to 50Mbs all the time.

Funny how all the wired speedtests are done on a different server to the wireless one.

I have to wonder which side of the keyboard the problem is on......

No it is not!
It is merely the catalyst which allows something to become wet.

Re: speedtest is far better on ethernet than N wireless
Look, I'll moan about the Super Hub dropping wireless connections until the ca$hcow comes home (judging from this thread it has, incidentally), but when it works and you're using an N device not too far from it you do get proper N speeds.
The speed test posted looks more like the result of a G device with less than optimum location, i.e. little bit too far from the access point, not N.
