I have just got FTTC and I love it, However Im having issues with WIFI throughput.
On ethernet I get 4.4Mb/s easy. However over Wifi on my laptop I only get 2.5Mb/s. I got 3Mb/s ONCE changing the channel to 7 But Im just wondering what I can do?
I just recently ditched the 582n because Its cheap and nasty and got a WNR2000 but still the same issues... seems I lose 10 meg in speed over wifi...
My Cordless phone is near it but i still get same issue with it off.

Have you tried using inSSIDer to see which channel is best you use? - http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/

In any case, what wifi card is fitted to your laptop?
If it is only an old 802.11g wifi card, it will max out at around 26 Mbits/sec

You may be able to fit a better card...

Plenty of full height 5100 (512AN_MMW) cards (300mbps draft-N) on ebay pulled from old laptops. Stay clear of any IBM/Lenovo branded ones to avoid issues.
