NTL Router

    I recently got NTL's 10mb broadband installed in our apartment. I didn't opt for the wireless router because i needed money to spend on beer. Instead i connected the Ethernet cable from the ntl router straight into an eircom router i had spare. Its now broadcasting the internet wirlessly for me.

    Problem is, when i ran a speed test from just the ntl router i got 10meg speeds. Since routing it through the eircom router, it never goes above 3meg.

    I'm assuming the eircom router is causing this, anyone know why? or a solution?

    Thanks for your help.

    You will always loose speed when on wireless, this is perfectly normal. Are you getting full speeds when wired into the router? Also, this service is "upto" 10mb. So you are not guaranteed the full speed all of the time.

    The speed test web sites can be inaccurate, and they seem to have particular problems when people are connected wirelessly. Try downloading a big file from a site that can support that kind of speed, like microsoft or http://ftp.heanet.ie/ to get a more accurate indication of your speed.

    If that is reflective of your true speed either you are too far from the wireless router or you have some kind of interference, try changing the channel etc.
