Fraser, and All,

Just wanted to update everyone on where I am now at with my download speed. 

I have been connecting to my router by WIFI. I have used both bands split 2.4 and 5.8 and can NOT get my full down load speed. As I ve previously said I have only been able to achieve half.

I decided to speak to my ISP (Virgin Media) and get my router relocated into my man cave. Which they did yesterday. I can now confirm I get the full download speed following the instructions fraser has described above, however this is using a LAN cable to my PC(Cat8 cable over kill I know).

I placed the router right next to my PC at arms length and then tried to use WiFi again. Unfortunately I still got half of my 1000mbps. 

So I suspect there may be a firmware issue on the WIFI side of things. So if you want your full download speed I would suggest using a LAN cable in the interim until the Duma team push out a firmware update which hopefully sorts the WIFI problem out.

Okay that's really promising news! We will be doing more work on WiFi but in the meantime see if these suggestions help:

• Use a WiFi analyzer to find the least congested channel and change to that
• Experiment with the widths to see what gives better results
• Ensure it's in an elevated position - not on a metal surface
• Ensure there aren't any electrical / wireless devices e.g headphones etc within close proximity ~3 feet if possible
• Set the antennae to this position _ | | _
