    Did you try changing the channel, its part of the wireless settings, the default is channel six, try another say 10.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
  • Hi,

    I have just changed the channel to 11 and I will see how it goes.

    Thankyou everyone for your help!! :j

    You can still check your speed using the link in post #5 when connected over wireless.
    :doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:
  • Hi just done a test

    Speed test

    Wait a moment

    Your link from us appears to be about 0.423460Mb/s

    For a fast ADSL internet link, look at http://sod.ms/
    A non AAISP speed tester is: www.speedtest.net, this also seems good for testing upload. 0.423460Mb/s 423460 468660 4692440 83.785140

    Does this mean anything??

    Interesting picture, I don't get that here but your speed is less than half a Mb, so quite slow over your wireless connection.

    Remember that the 2.4ghz band is becoming very cluttered, and can also be affected by Microwave ovens which interfere with Wi-fi

    Do you (or another neighbour in range) use either a video sender, wireless CCTV or any other device working on the 2,4ghz band?. Also are there any pubs, eateries, nursing homes etc close by which may use industrial microwave ovens.

    Connect with a cable and rerun the speed test.
