I use iPhones only and use an Apple router. The Apple router and is the only device serving DHCP addresses. It is also an access point and I have 2 other Apple access points that are set up as extenders. All of the extenders and the Apple router and all of my macs are all wired Ethernet. ?My internet comes in to a router the cable company supplied. I have turned off the wireless features on it and all other features. ?It is wired Ethernet to my Linksys VPN box and the Linksys VPN is wired Ethernet to the Apple router. ?I assign static ip addresses to everything on the network, both wired and wireless except iPhones and iPads and 2 MacBooks. ?This is done because of the forty devices I have on the network a DHCP router cannot keep track of that many devices. Assigning static address solves the DHCP limit problems. ?
I never have any withrottle problems at all. ?Even have tested with the cable internet disconnected and everything else on the network works just fine, even the iPhone throttles.?
I have seen many people have all kinds of problems with home internet because they just take the box the IPS gives them and plop it down and hope it works. Unless you have a very simple network this is always a disaster. ?

Reg, One more detail may apply to your situation -- I have heard that some hand-held devices will not connect well to a WiFi signal if there is no internet connexion on the other side of the router.? Apparently, this depends upon the OS and the manufacturer of the device.

Thanks Christopher, that suggests to me it's my router. My router is not connected to the internet.?
Thanks
