Glad it was simply, sister switched to Infinity a month ago and it had to of been straightforward or else I'd have got the phone call (only one geek in family)

Meant to mention that I did a tbb speed test, first using Ethernet connection, then using wireless. The D/L was ~38Mbps (ethernet) / ~22Mbps (wireless); U/L was much the same wired or wireless. So about a 40% reduction using wireless.

Not very scientific, I admit. 1 test each way, and the wireless test was 10 feet and a wall from the HH. But perhaps indicative.

I think you were probably using 2.4GHz not wireless-AC.

Wireless - Lacking or not requiring a wire or wires; spec. pertaining to or using radio, microwaves, etc. rather than wires to transmit signals; pertaining to radio.

There were no wires. It was wireless.

That's why I was talking about wireless

And your point is?

The reason for a 40% reduction of speed on wireless was because you were using the 2.4GHz band instead of wireless-AC on the 5GHz band.

Darwinian theory has it's place

Im surprised the drop was that big

On 2.4GHz i get http://www.speedtest.net/result/4368252793.png

On 5GHz i get http://www.speedtest.net/result/4368258057.png

HH5 is 18 feet away in the next room with a brick wall between my PC and it.

It's more likely to be wireless-g on 2.4GHz rather than wireless-n.
