I have BTInfinity and have a great experience using the gigabit-ethernet but not impressed with wifi.. all my wifi equipment is this years model (2012) with wifi-N and I only get 144mbps using HomeHub3 and the same when I use my old Netgear DGN2000..I have checked and changed to different channels, but no improvement..
Should I be looking for new hardware for my access point? what do you guys/girls recommend?

144mbps is the wifi speed from the WifiSSD NOT my infinity connection.

I think he understands that, but is pointing out that it's not going to be bottlenecking your far slower internet connection.

I'm also guessing that you understand that, but are more worried about transfer speed across your network from device to device rather than internet traffic.

Yes. You are right there!!
 
I am now noticing there are better N+ spec routers and access points capable of 300mbps and faster from device (macbookpro-r) to router/AP. are they worth looking at ? I'm sure that my Laptop wirelessly is capable of a much faster wifi connection.

I have the Asus RT-N56U Router with Infinity ( 76 & 18 service ) i also have powerlines AV 500 type and i get 360.00 Mbps sometimes i have got 450.00 Mbps on my Dell Laptop i have an internal Intel 6300 N WiFi Card :) That is on the 5Ghz connection not the 2.5 Ghz , but i don,t think it matters much as i,ve tried both connections and get the same speed :)

So changing my access point to the Asus should increase my wifi experience then. I have looked at all the settings on the HomeHub3 and 144mbps is the max and the same on my dgn2000.
I currently have a 8port gig-eth switch to my main computer room from the HH.
I have the powerlines 200 to my bedroom for my blu-ray, appletv, and freesatHD box.
On BTInfinity the last speedtest i did came up as 36.17 Down, 9.13 Up, 15ms Ping... Very Happy with that!
Time for an internal network reconfigure then, and a new access point!
 
i have now had my infinity upgraded and got the asus router... wow what a huge improvement now. i disabled the wifi on the hh3 and only use the asus for wifi ... everything is so much quicker!:cool:
