currently getting 2378 kbps but using the ethernet cable i get about 4600 kbps upload minimum ,up load speed is also down at about 230 was getting 460.
will keep it wired if theres not a solution because my connection on xbox live is pretty good wired.
only tried it wireless due to having a disconnection problem occasionally when someone rang me,checked all microfilters but no joy.
was kinda hoping wireless was going to be better than it is.
wireless connection is green and signal strength is excellent,modem is next to pc,says speed is 54.0mbps
i have 2 of these modems but both speeds are the same.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks.

Do you have the same standard of card/adaptor at both ends? If one is a slower standard it will run at the slower speed. if you can tell us exactly what your hardware is it will be easier to help (router and wifi card models).

The 54Mb Wifi connection is in reality 54/2 Mb in each direction, so is more than capable of transferring data at 4.6Mb.
You mention the Xbox, is the DWA-111 connected to the Xbox or a PC. I assume a PC is involved, and so ask you to go to the Device Manager, find the 'Network Adaptor' icon for the DWA-111 and look through all the options that mention 'increase throughput' which you want to increase/enable or 'optimise for power' which you want to decrease/disable.
If that does not work, you need to look at changing the MTU value used by the wireless card.

I'd expect that to break more than it fixes.

I have seen conflicting advice on these forums from both HPsauce and PRichardson. I have tried double filtering my DECT phone, but I cannot conclusively say that this has been successful. It certainly has not made my broadband connection any less stable, then again it didn't cure the problem of frequent reconnects (see my thread on 'Fitting Filters' for a comparison of router stats). In my experience it is probably worth trying out and some systematic monitoring to see if it makes any difference. Maybe someone who has a stable connection and a DECT phone would be willing to try it out and post back a conclusion.

Sorry, I may have been a bit blinkered in my response as I do not have/use wireless broadband. Is the 'disconnecting' problem related to the wireless connection between laptop and router, or are there two problems, one associated with the speed of the wireless connection and the other affecting the router losing sync with the exchange?

The first one was that the wireless connection speed was giving throughout of half of which was being given when using a wired connection. (Now fixed by changing rWin)
The second problem was that of the broadband disconnecting when the phone rings - which I thought that changing the wireless channel would be a good place to start.
