[SOLVED] second wifi hub

[story001]

Hi guys
needing help with second wifi hub setup.
im on virgin media and im using there hub as a modem then running all my connections of a ASUS RT-N66U . iv then trying to setup a second WI-FI box an wanlink in the conservatory as a Lan and WI-FI point .now the problem if i connect my ethernet lead directly into my desktop im getting 300+mbps but as soon as i add the wanlink im only getting speeds of 80+mbps the wanlink is a wanlink 1200 so im think it is capable of my higher speeds .so can any one help .p.s i have setup the ASUS as the master and the wanlink DHCP disabled so not sure what im doing wrong hope you guys can help .

A lot of the cheaper 1200 routers only have 10/100 ports on them.

Are you running a ethernet cable between the asus and the wavlink box. If you are using it as some kind of wifi repeater it generally will run slower than a direct wifi connection to the main router.

thanks for replying bill001g.
is there anyway of getting the broadband full potential i.e my full 300mbps with the setup which was mentioned above .

I don't know I am unsure how you have it hooked up.

If there is a wifi hop in the middle it is unlikely. If you are using ethernet then you need a different router that has 10/100/1000 ports on it.

How are the wanlink and asus connected? Wirelessly? Wired? I can't get a mental picture of your setup.

Hi samirD
my setup ie wired .
virginmedia hub 3 in modem mode then this is wired to a asus n66u router then i have a wired goto to the wanlink .and the asus is set to master .
but i think i have found the problem. the problem is that the wanlink is only 10/100 mbs and i need 10/100/1000 as my conntion speed vm is 300+mbs
