I had 50Mb installed today and was impressed to see it doing exactly what it said on the tin over at www.speedtest.net :)
But later on when I setup my wireless N router (with N wireless dongle) and secured it I noticed the speed dropping off considerably. I did some tests and basic summary is
ethernet: 50Mb
wireless (no security): 45Mb
wireless (WPA): 30Mb
I have read that some slowdown is to be expected but didn't think it would be this bad. I don't think there is a great deal I can do about it, just gotta suck it up I guess. That or just run it open... :erm:
