Has anyone managed to get 100Mb on SHUB wireless?
I can max out hardwired @ 105Mb, but wireless the max I can get is 87Mb but only in the flaky 300Mbps mode. If I run it in the stable 145Mbps mode, I can only get 77Mb. Has anyone managed to max out in wireless mode? I don't want to set it to modem mode, as I have enough northern lights going with that without my Netgear 3700 adding to it!
I read of updated wireless drivers, any news on this?

I could try 5ghz, but as this is not dual wireless it would mean I can't connect everything else without messing with the settings each time.

Well for the hell of it I tried, 300mbps @ 5ghz was awful with massive ping @ 134ms and diabolical speeds of 30Mb download and 2Mb upload. In 145mbps mode, the SHUB performed no better than 2.4ghz as expected.

Re: Has anyone managed to get 100Mb on SHUB wireless?
You will never be able to max out a 110mbps connection over 144mbps wireless. With a good router, 68% efficiency with TCP connections is the most you're likely to get, so about 90-95mbps tops in a Speedtest. With average routers under average conditions you will get less so 77mbps seems perfectly normal.

In my experience (Beta testing for Netgear mainly) I have found that 5ghz is good for congested areas, however it's coverage/range is a lot poorer than 2.4ghz

I have trouble getting 100mbs using wired, can usually expect to get about 80 Mbs - 93Mbs.

Re: Has anyone managed to get 100Mb on SHUB wireless?
I've managed 123Mbit/sec from a Desktop PC wired into a WNDR3700 router to a PC upstairs on 5GHz using wide channels.
The wide (300Mbit) channel in 2.4GHz would work fine if there is enough channel distance between you and your neighbours, and if most of your neighbours are on Channel 6, like most of mine are, forget 300Mbit. It'll automatically reduce to 130 if it detects conflicting networks.

Re: Has anyone managed to get 100Mb on SHUB wireless?
It's only possible to get a maximum of 72mb through my DW1501
I've had a look at the channels in use locally, and there are a couple on 5, a couple on 6, and then there is myself and one other on channel 1. Now I understand that it is better to change to an unused channel.
I have been told by a friend who is a BT engineer that channel 13 is the best one to use, as many routers don't use it, but the shub does. Can anyone confirm this?

Try changing to 5Ghz that may help improve things.

Apparently the DW1501 doesn't work too well on 5Ghz.
I can get 72mb, that isn't a problem, and that is the maximum with a DW1501. I was just asking about the best channel settings.

Re: Has anyone managed to get 100Mb on SHUB wireless?
Most routers - anywhere in the world - default to the 1-6-11 layout for compatibility, meaning it is correct that most routers won't in themselves pick channel 13.
However, since channel 11 overlaps all the way from 9-13 anything on channel 11 will interfere with 13 anyway so there's no real benefit, unless your neighbours are on 9 or below.
