Hi,
I'm new to Plusnet, so haven't posted before - but could really do with some advice.
I've had Fibre Extra fitted today, with the Technicolour 582n router. My wired speeds are amazing - 72/16. However, any device I am connecting wirelessly is only getting speeds of 37/16. The devices are all wireless n enabled, so should be capable of getting roughly the same speed as wired.
Didn't want to put it through as a fault yet because PN will probably tell me the line needs a while to stabilise etc.
Anyone else have this problem? Seems like s duff router to me!
Thanks

Thanks for the welcome!
Yeah, I can only think that the router is the weak link here - I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has upgraded.
I know 37/16 is ok for most things, but it's the principle really!

Could anyone confirm whether they have experienced a similar drop in performance when using this router, or should I put it through as a fault?
Thanks
Thanks

It depends on what you are connecting with..
Most (if not all) phones and tablets only use a single antenna, which (IIRC) limits them to 64mbps, subject to distance.
So gettings 37/16 sounds about right, and is consistent with my my phone and tablet.
Good Laptops and Desktops with multiple antennas are required to get more than this.

Ah okay,
That's good to know thanks. I'm new to Fibre - having previously been getting about 12/1 through ADSL, there was very little difference between wired/wireless.
It comes to something when your broadband is too fast for your equipment!
Thanks again!
