This is unlikely to be Plusnet's fault but I wonder if anyone can help?
When I plug my laptop into my router I'm getting full speed:
But from the main computer which is on the floor directly above the router, I can't get any faster than this:
I've tried both 2G and 5G networks on my Asus N66U (both of which are showing a 100% signal) and the above is what I get. I have even bought homeplugs over the powerline and am getting the same speed
Anyone have any ideas?
Edit: here's what my wireless signal is - apparently I have a connection rate of 300 Mbps?

You use the same TP-Link Dual Band USB Wireless n Adapter as me....if you hover your mouse over the TP-Link icon in the right corner of the task bar it'll show you the true data transfer rate.
For me it's 130Mbps...apparently that's the limitation of the Plusnet 582n router.

Thanks.
It says Transmit rate: 13Mbps
I wonder if it's just a poor adapter?

It's a limitation of what the router is configured for by default: http://npr.me.uk/telnet.html#w300

Have you elimated the main computer as the culprit by trying the laptop from the same position ? and then trying the laptop with the USB adapter to eliminate that ?

That sounds like the best plan so far to me
