Fibre wireless speed

Am getting 75mps on ethernet but only 25-30mps on wireless.
Signal and channel is good, contacted plusnet who sent out new router which is giving even lower speeds (10-12mps) and different speeds with 2 different red ethernet cables although ethernet direct speed is still 75mps .
Have now gone back to original router and put in new ticket but would like to know if I am getting 75mps wired what speed can I expect wireless ?
Thanks in advance Stuart

It is the case that speeds obtained over wireless will never be the same as ethernet. We have observed speeds of between 30 and 50mb over wireless with that router. To dispell a common misconception (in case you made this assumption) the speeds you see over wireless for each device would not be shared between other devices in case that's a concern (i.e if a laptop connected at 30mb over wifi then a further 2 connected that wouldn't mean 10mb for each).
To get the most out of a wireless connection it's best to look at what local conditions might be affecting it. The main think I tend to advise is to dowload inSSIDer http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/ use that to check which wireless channels have the least (or maybe even no) local traffic detected and go for those.
Hope that helps.

Am using channel 1 which I have checked isn't used with an app (have a mac) the signal strength is 99-100% but what worries me is the difference in speed of two technicolour routers surely they should be the same ie same channel same position same computer and wireless card and why the 2nd router gave me 45mps and then dropped to 12mps I think something isnt right in the hardware

Is your <a href="http://www.plus.net/support/broadband/hardware/technicolor-582n-wireless.shtml">wireless channel</a> on both routers the same?

Yes both on channel 1.
It appears reading through this forum that the supplied router is not up to the job,I cant see the point of 75mps wired if the router can only handle 30-35mps when the conditions are 100% perfect and below 20mps most of the time.
When I was with another provider I was quoted 8mps and got 7mps 85% of the time
I think plusnet need to invest in supplying decent hardware that produces the speeds other bought routers achieve otherwise how can customers recommend your service ?
