    Question Wireless broadband help

    I've got a Belkin54g wireless router in my front room next door plugged directly into my 360.

    My PC is in the bedroom, using a belkin desktop network card.

    My new broadband is Tiscali 8MB

    When I run http://www.broadbandchoices.co.uk/sp...ited+broadband

    My speed test result is only 1.11MB, when I click on the network button on bottom left of screen it says signal strength is excellent.

    ADSLguide.org.uk says

    Speed Test Results

    Downstream 355.9 Kbps ( = 0.3 Mbps )
    Upstream 372.7 Kbps ( = 0.4 Mbps )

    Could it be the wireless or my broadband or something else

    Cheers
    Robbo

    i wouldnt realy rely on the speedtests, i am on 8mb and the speedtests only tell me i have 2-3mb and its different result everytime, although when i download from newsgroups i get 750 - 800kbs and i get no lag when playing online games.

    Try downloading a file from Microsoft, this should tell you your max speed.
