But should be fixed within a month by switching to Orcon. I tried the speed test via gigabit ethernet and only got 50kb per second more. There is a direct line between the router and my laptop so I should be getting good speeds. It’s quite hard to tell at the moment due to Xnet’s crap speeds at off peak hours.

There are about 2/3 walls between it too. I don't get any improvement if I am 1 metre away from the router either. You should have run a speed test from a wired connection to compare the speeds you get internet over wifi to the speeds you get from your ISP.

But for an increase in speeds they do have to be both positioned high up. Thanks for pointing it out.

(I know you've got a modem router combo) It's just it doesn't really make sense to me to put the modem high up (unless you're putting your router high up as well and you wish to gain a nearly unnotticible gain in speed by having them right next to each other on a really short cable) Anyway nice blog I was pleasantly surprised where'd you get the code for it?
