Yes, I just did a full reset by pressing those little hole at the back, and have it set up again. Well, no luck.

This is the speed i'm getting when I connect my laptop via cable to the router:

And this is the speed I got (wifi) when I'm in my room, on the 3/F, while the satellite is placed on the 2/F:

So what's the deal here?
