Sorry for the delay - it's been a crazy few days! See inline below.

I suspect it was more likely that I had other network traffic which was saturating the link when the FON device (with 4 populated interfaces) was connected, than when I had one device connected to test as per the support person's advice. I am getting slower speeds over WiFi (802.11n) than directly connected, but that's currently going to the "SuperHub" rather than the FON device, so I can't blame that either :) > > I get approx 58Mb download speed.
