Hi all

We've got Virgin Media 60Mb with the superhub. The hard-wired PC works great at the full speed but the wireless PC next door only ever gets ~20Mb/s.

I've tried a load of stuff. Signal strength is OK...seems to hover around -70dBm.

I'm using WPA2/AES security which I heard can help, and I've tried a shed load of other stuff such as logging off wireless G devices in case this is restricting the router.

My network card is a TP-LINK wireless N jobby.

I know wireless will never be as rock-solid fast as wired, but I'd have expected better than half the maximum rate for a standard that's meant to have a max of 300Mb/s.

Anything else I could have missed?

Any ideas gratefully received.
