    Download speed issues


    Hi
    When I'm connected to my router by cable I get download speeds advertised (+15 megabits) by the ISD provider.
    When I disconnect the cable and connect the same computer wirelessly to the router, download speeds drop to below 4 megabits.
    Nothing else changes, connected by wire = high speed downloads; connected wirelessly = low speed downloads.
    Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
    Cheers

    Hi,
    the router is a D-Link DIR625 Wireless N, 802.11n, firmware 3.08

    the ethernet cable has CAT 5E printed on it

    the wireless network adapter is D-Link RangeboosterN, Marvell driver 1.0.5.2, the most up-to-date one that I can find

    thanks,
    Mitch
