100mb virgin connection at the front of the house (new extension). The speed is perfect when my laptop is patched in. However as soon as i jump on the wifi the speeds are around 15-20. Now i assumed this would be due to the neighbour also having VM so i fired up Inssider, saw what channels were free and switched. No change in wireless speed. Put it on wireless N, no change. Went through all the wireless frequencies and no change.
So i thought fuck this and bought a netgear wnr2000 because it was cheap (I know it cannot do the full 100mb but the wireless signal/strength this gives is alot better, also was told it was a v2 so i could put dd-wrt on it but its a v1) However this also resulted in no change of wireless speed. Fired up Inssider and flicked through all the available channels on B/G/N and no difference. I even got a 10M patch cable and patched the netgear in the next room to see if there was interface going on (next room is behind a brick wall and its empty) and no change! Ive tested the speeds on my iphone, 2 work laptops (Wirelessly and patched in) all of them have been aprrox 10-15cm away from both routers.
Any ideas?
