You need to check the Network Interface Card [NIC] in the PC Settings.

What speed is it set to ?

[gonefishing]

Says on internet that it's 100mb/s (Fast Ethernet) 

Tbh, I think I'm just going to leave virgin media, never known a company that is so poor at solving issues.

The hub 3.0 is crap, the WiFi coverage is very poor and never get the speed that's being paid for. Even on a usb wireless card that has the latest technology, still get 230mb.

[MikeRobbo]

If the NIC is 100Mbs that is the maximum you will get from it.

As for the Wi-Fi USB Adaptor, the problem you have is the environment that the Wi-Fi is working in.

Even when stood next to router it's the same.

Can you do a couple of speed tests at speedtest.net and post the results on here.

Do this for the ethernet connected device and the Wi-Fi connected device.

Thanks for the post Gonefishing, have you been able to run the speed test as suggested above? 

How are things looking today?

Let us know, Emily.
