Terrible Upload Speeds (Plusnet supplied Thomson Router)

Hello
I am hoping one of the helpful Plusnet staff will pick this up.
A few weeks ago, after having issues with a moderate NAT setting on xbox live, I was sent a shiny new Thomson router. I got an open NAT straight away and was really quite impressed with everything.
However, I have noticed through various speedtests that my upload speed has become awful over a wireless connection. It has dropped from around 0.36 mbps to 0.04 mbps in a matter of weeks. My download speed remains fine (wired or wireless)
If I connect to the router via ethernet then the upload speed shoots back up to around 0.36 - 0.40 mbps again so it is certainly a wireless issue with the router.
Can someone please advise on this?
Many Thanks

Re: Terrible Upload Speeds (Plusnet supplied Thomson Router)

I am using a TG585 v8 Software Release: 8.2.7.8 using Wireless to connect to 3 different computers. Upload and download speeds are exactly the same as using Ethernet: 6966 kbps (871kB/s) and 851 kbps (106kB/s). I have 2 other routers but neither works as well as the Thompson.

HI northernmonkey,
I'll arrange for a different router to be sent out to you.

HI clarebearbarton,
Having looked at your fault ticket it looks like you are having your slower speeds over ethernet only, so this wouldn't be the same issue.

Re: Terrible Upload Speeds (Plusnet supplied Thomson Router)

Hi Jojo
I am having slower speeds over both like Custos mentions below.  I am having very little luck with the faults team - is there anything else you can suggest?
Thanks for responding

Hi Jojo
I have not replied for a few weeks as I have been monitoring the speed, making sure it has not dropped off over time. Happily it looks like everything is stable with the V7 and everything is running fine.
Thanks for all your help Smiley

Re: Terrible Upload Speeds (Plusnet supplied Thomson Router)

I think the router northernmonkey is referring to is the Thomson TG585 V7, as opposed to the Thomson TG585 V8 that was causing the initial problem.
