wireless problem

stevieg · 19 Mar 2008 at 20:36

ive noticed the past week on speedtest that i havent been getting more that 1mbps on an 8mbps service where i have been getting 6.5mbps for the past 2 years.
so i had a look around today and i noticed this

ive tried changing the wireless channel,changing it from 802.11b/g to g,without firewall,both changing the channel and from b/g to g fixed it for 2-3 mins but then it just went back to actual speed 2mbps,where it used to be 30-40mbps,
anyone got any ideas?

Any cordless phone basestations around or other sources of radio interference?

sorry i was just about to post,its fixed,i mucked up a setting while trying to fix it,so i had to connect through an ethernet cable to return the settings to normal and when i returned the router downstairs it was working again,holds 36mbps steady even jumps to 48 now an again,10 mins working and counting*fingers crossed*

and just for good measure no, no wireless basestations around
