Wireless internet download speed slow

Hi

I've recently upgraded to 20mb broadband from Virginmedia, and with my Netgear WPN824 router I'm getting speeds of between 4000 and 7000kbps across the wireless network compared to 13000kbps if I connect the PC to the cable modem using the ethenet cable. If I connect my PC by ethernet cable to the router and then the router to the modem by ethernet cable I get 4000 to 7000kbps. Only the PC or the laptop were connected at the time of the tests.

All speeds were measured at various times through the day using www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk.

Is there any way of increasing the speeds when operating wirelessly?

Go post the same message here: http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/12/ as it can be down to a variety of things, from your modem not supporting 20MB as some early ones don't. Through to capacity problems in your area or even firmware of your routher\wireless adaptors.

The cableforum is a semi-official support forum for virgin media it is full of volunteers from all areas of the company who help in their spare time with problems of this nature.
