[QUOTE="Kevriano, post: 1179551, member: 18605"] To be honest, the problem will not be with the Virgin hub/modem, not at all. I think it is most likely to do with the construction of your house. Now don't take that the wrong way! What I mean is that whatever materials used in it's construction, will affect the ability of the wi-fi signal to penetrate. If you have particularly thick walls, walls with lots of insulation in them, walls with metal in them, all of those things will affect range to some extent, and the more walls you try to pass signal through, the weaker the signal. The only way is going to be via Ethernet/Coax. For the record, I am a 50MB, user, and can take my laptop to the end of my garden, about 60 feet from the modem, and still get 40 mb download speed, but I am only sending the signal through 3 walls, and they are hollow brick construction. Were they breeze block or solid for example, I would not expect anything like that speed. [/QUOTE]
