That's a good start. Now we want to see how well your laptop can talk to the router, and how quickly.
You are using the Thomson Speedtouch 585, right? That is specced as "802.11b/g", so both B and G.
First check that you have it configured to either G or B/G, and not just B.
Second, you want to check how fast your laptop is connected to it.

Is the MTU configurable on the Speedtouch? If so can someone who has one post the instructions on how to check it is set to 1500.

itsa thomson pn router i have jelv    585 something   

www  txs for help iv changed from b/g to g  but how do i test spped u mentioned
its says 54mbs  excellent connection

[#6]

g made speed worse so iv gone back to b/g    still showing 54mbs  connection  and  iplayer still showing 3.2 streaming speed
im kinda scared to tamper with any more settings as  i have no life insurance

[#7]

G is 54mbps so I don't understand how setting the router to G only could bake things worse!

[#8]

its anetbook and now  im wondering if the  chips etc etc  can cope with these streaming speeds
im getting way out of my depth here  lol
even the local pastor has abandoned me now

[#9]

neither do i  iv put it back tob/g
i really feel embarassed at the time im taking up here with this stupid problem

txs to all who r responding

[#10]

1 last q if i may

has anyone ever experienced/heard of this type of problem before?

[#11]

loads of people have prob's with wireless -even the professionals.
When you changed to "G"  where did you make the change?  On your netbook or the router or both?

[#12]

jelv   i say this nicely  if you hadnt mentioned the iplayer test id  have been none of the wiser   ignorance is bliss

but tx you for your help

[#13]

If it was set to Auto the system may have determined that the data rate would be higher using b instead of g
The data rates are
b = 5.5 and 11
g = 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 54
From my experience a lot of devices do not report the actual data rate but the highest for the protocol used.

I have my TG585v8 set to 802.11g only. Download and streaming speeds on iPlayer over wireless are identical (see attachment). I'm on ADSL2+ with IP Profile 5977kbps. Wireless connection is "Excellent", speed 54Mbps.
Computer is a laptop running XP SP3.
IPlayer diagnostics on a wired connection using a different computer (Vista) are almost identical.
Sorry, this doesn't provide a solution for t.o.m but shows what should be achievable.
