nighthawk m1 wireless v USB

[nicktravers]

Hi

Nighthawk kit arrived yesterday, easy set up etc.

4 from 5 bars reception shown...so that's fine.

if i connect to device by USB, again no issues, 20+mbps download (which compared to Sky broadband of 1mbps) is lightning fast for my location.

If I try wireless (even with kit sitting next to laptop) drops to 14mbps.

If I move NH to other end of the room, but still in clear line of sight, then drops to less than 2mbps.

TV Streaming not possible - even in the same room.

Suggestions please.  Getting desperate as NH and o2 are my last resort.

I have some extenders but not sure if these are compatible or if i need to do anything techincal with them

what speed do you get over an ethernet connection?

Are you testing over 2.4ghz or 5ghz for the wireless?  2.4ghz is slower and much more sensitive to inteference. Try changing the wireless 2.4ghz channel.  

What speeds are you getting over the 5ghz?
