I have a wireless belkin n1 router, under one month old. It has been working fantastically until this week.

If I connect any of my pcs to the router via ethernet, I get the full ISP bandwidth.

However, this past week, if I connect ANY of my computers via wireless I get under 1mbps ISP bandwidth. The wireless computers always connect to the router at 54mbps and have previously been working fine with full ISP speed being supplied by the router.

I have ensured router firmware and WLAN card drivers are up to date.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance :)

I have just discovered if i use the wireless router with no encryption it will work correctly..but if i enable WEP or WPA encryption this is when i lose full ISP bandwidth.
