Trouble with Virgin and Netgear WGT624v3

[masonator]

Ahoy,

If anyone can help me with the following I would be very much obliged:

I have a Virgin media connection which works fine when run straight through the modem into a pc. I bought a Netgear WGT624v3 router to share the connection wirelessly with another computer using a Belkin network adaptor. This is where the problems start...

If I wirelessly connect on the second PC, the connection almost always slows to a crawl on both computers. If I disconnect the wireless computer by changing the WEP key (so it can't log on), the connection is restored to its former glory.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why this should happen? Please tell me if additional info would be useful. I read somewhere that WEP isn't great. Could that be the problem?

Thanks in advance
