oh yes.....
Just realised that I had TKIP instead of AES in the wireless setting in Vista.
Just changed it to AES and this is the first speed test.
Thats to a server in Germany and I am on the 2nd floor and the router is on the ground floor. Thats why I want the 50mb !
I cant believe that after 3 calls to VM and Netgear and no one suggested changing that 1 simple thing.
Will try the Netgear dongle on my sons pc again tomorrow.
