Guys, I'm looking for some ways I could improve my wireless network.

At the moment, I'm with Bigpond on a regular ADSL plan, getting 1.3 Mbps. As my contract is over, I'll be hooking up with TPG on an ADSL2+ plan, promising 10 Mpbs.

Gear I'm running:

In PC room:

  • 2wire modem (with ethernet connection to PC)
  • Linksys N router

In living room (10 metres down the hallway):

  • Belkin repeater (I think it's G)
  • MacBook Pro (with built-in wireless modem)
  • PS3 (with built-in wireless modem)


  1. Do I need to buy another modem or is my 2wire already compatible with ADSL2+? Model no. 2071-A
  2. I can barely get a decent connection on my PS3. Any tips for improving?

TPG also told me I could buy a wireless modem that simply connects to my phone line, no PC required. I haven't heard of this before, can anyone elaborate?
