Not able to test with a cable at the moment, but have one ordered. This is the situation with wireless so far:
Speeds are highly varyiable jumping from 0.5 to 30 mb, there will be days of constant 10-30mb then days where it averages <1mb. Obviously gaming is pretty much out of the question most of the time, as is youtube etc!
Had an engineer round once before, fixed something outside in the box. However my suspisons lie with the router for several reasons. Firstly the engineer never looked at the router or the settings ( i wasn't there to tell him to), secondly there seem to be quite a few complaints about it online, thirdly the internet was apparently "fine" when the previous occupants were in the house (using the old router but same virgin media 30mb package). Basically looking for any advice possible on changing settings in the router etc suggestions as I'm a complete novice at this, thanks!
p.s my laptop works perfectly in wireless with my internet in my other house, and anywhere else.
