Have you upgraded from Copper to Fibre in your move to PN.

I have no idea why O2s 582 would have better WiFi performance than ours. :/

In reply to a post by Stanman_24:

If I need a router I probably would, but I haven't got the TG582n myself.

Intriguing that you guys seem to think that 582 probs are limited to FTTC. Our internal wifi based on antediluvian copper deserted us three times again yeserday. So yes, as someone wrote, we're going to ask Mr Amazon for a TP W8968.

That's a reasonable point about the wireless issue on the 582n not being confined to FTTC. But it is far more noticeable on FTTC.

However in my case in a steel-framed house, its strength is slightly better than my Buffalo's. The problem for me is that it and the previous Netgear WNR1000 won't connect at above 65Mbps and the actual throughput is well under half that.

Pages slow to load, buffering when watching F1 stuff, and so on. So it isn't just the Status connection speed at issue. I had no such trouble on ADSL2+ with my own Netgear 834PN.

The Buffalo provides 300Mbps, though my laptop card is only 150Mbps so that's what I get. Throughput is no problem.

My broadband basic info/help site - www.robertos.me.uk | Domains,website and mail hosting - Tsohost.
Connection - Plusnet UnLim Fibre (FTTC). Sync ~ 54.2/15.2Mbps @ 600m. - BQM

Sorry but where have we ignored you? If it's a separate thread then I'll happily take a look however I don't think that posting in someone elses topic is the best way to draw attention to this.

Yes, I was on copper (about 13mbps) with O2. I doubt their 582s work any better on fibre! smile
Speedtest from the downstairs sofa gets about 35-36 mbps, half the ethernet/wireless upstairs.
