Just bought this router since my old WRT45GL didn't have the option to wirelessly use the printer and the only computer with access to one is in the home office and we would rather not fiddle with the work computer.

This new router has a problem with fluctuations in download speed, it'll start off climbing up in 2.5MB then crashes into 1.5 then reaches about 1.8~1.9MB but it will keep falling into 1.5~1.6MB often.

Could anyone please help me please?
