Connecting at a speed of between 48 Mbps

loulou41

I have just bought a high speed RJ111 to connect my router to my bt line. I have noticed thatI am connecting at a speed between 54 Mbps & 48.0 MBps, before it uses to be a seady 54mbps. I am coonecting wirelessly uring a Belkin adapter. Has this got anything to do with it? Thanks

Not sure WHAT you mean by High Speed RJ111 to connect your router to BT line, If you mean cable from BT socket to router, there is no/little advantage in buying a "Special Cable", as the distance is small, and would not make much difference to your connection speeds to the exchange.

The speed you are seeing is the WIRELESS connection speed between your wireless connection on the router and your wireless connection on the PC. It has nothing to do with your Modem connection speed on the internet, What you are seeing as slight differences in the signal strength of the wireless, which your system will drop the speed a bit to make it reliable, move the router/your pc a bit to get a stronger signal.

A salesmans dream!

It is indeed the cable from the socket to the router.

No a salesman's dream would be a high speed RJ11.

Maybe you moved the router slightly when connecting your super-duper cable and now the wireless signal isn't getting through quite as well as before. It's still no doubt faster than your broadband connection so won't be any sort of bottleneck. Don't worry about it.

A couple of metres of gold plated low oxygen copper RJ11 lead will make no difference at all.

Consider the kilometre or so of ancient twisted pair coming from the exchange.
If you have speed issues post your router statistics and we can maybe make suggestions.

I'd just leave it be. You're not going to notice any difference at all except when transferring files between computers connected to that router via cable or wifi. It won't slow your internet down.

The new RJ11 is probably coincidence.

It's a wireless problem, either low signal strength, channel interference, other device (phone, microwave) interference or adapter set in 'mixed' mode.

Thanks, I have moved the router further down I am now using 5 mts cable instead of 3 mts.
