1136617 2010-09-12 08:28:00 Had a interesting experience with a Thompson TG858 v7 ADSL router this morning .

I obtained the router from a business customer had been upgraded .
I thought that I would replace my old Dynalink \ Wireless D-link combo for the Thompson .

Anyway my son complained about the speed of the new set up .

So I did some speed testing . (repeated 3 times)

Thompson Download speed 3000 mbps Dynalink 5000mbps .

All using the same wire connected to the same computer .

Now when I say repeated I mean swapping over routers and reconnecting to ISP

Anyone any idea why for the speed difference?

1136618 2010-09-12 09:03:00 Well I just got broadband with a Thomson TG585 V8 which has speed the same - 3000mbps (with cable connection), but have three family notebooks/net books connected wirelessly, that have speeds twice that at 6mbps. My phone extension is too long at about 25 feet (since upstairs), so may have to get a USB wireless adapter. But fast enough for me.

How long is the phone extension?
