Have you tried turning the modem and router off for 5 minutes then on again ? (Don't do this too often !)

You can raise a fault at http://faults.plus.net - we'll get the line checked out as something might be causing the intermittent low speeds.

What sort of speeds are you seeing with an Ethernet Connection?

Or you could go up to something like http://www.ebuyer.com/428129-tp-link-tl-sg108-8-port-gigabit-desktop-switch-steel-case-tl-sg108 which would give you Gigabit speeds between devices on your LAN.

But before you do that, why not download the free program InSSIDer to one of your wireless computers (it's certainly available for Windows and Android, and I assume it's also available for Apple OSs). That will tell you whether you're using the best channel for wifi and show you where the likely sources of interference are. If you then can't get a better speed on a less crowded channel, by all means look for another router.

Quote from: Paulagnew Sorry guys tried hard wiring to the router and yeah the speed shot up to over 70mbs so must have some major interference via wi-fi. I have never experienced that with my netgear routers so may poke about in the router settings to see if I can improve reception
If you've got an android device, you can use wifi analyser to find free channels in your area. May be something similar for IOS - not sure.
