Good Morning all,
I'm dealing with a pretty random case and cant seem to figure things out with regards to a wi-fi connection.
Im looking at a connection which uses a cable modem connected to netgear WGR613v9.
So at the original 10mb broadband speed which was being used, both the cabled and wireless connections were running perfectly. There was no degrading in the connection and all was perfect.
With a recent upgrade through an ISP up to 20mb broadband, there is a perfect connection via cable but the wireless is either cutting out or fluctuating between 2/3mb and 15mb at the very highest.
The thing that confuses me is that the equipment is more than adequate to cope with a maximum connection of 22mb and handled 10mb perfectly. However the upgrade to 20mb has made the connection unstable.
All wireless cards and devices can support the speeds too.
channels on the router have been adjusted, WPA2-PSK security is in force, B & G mode is active.
Im at a loss as to whether this is the result of the ISP and the cable into the apartment or whether this is an equipment fault, as the equipment was running perfectly a day before the upgrade.
There was never any degrading at 10mb and no channels ever needed to be changed as there was no-one in the area affecting the wifi connection.
Any ideas here?
The last option is that an engineer from Virgin media is called to check the fibre optic line itself.
Thanks in advance
