I am having a problem with my router and its driving me insane!

Here's the set-up; I have a Dell XPS M1710 and when its on my desk I have a NETGEAR rangemax wireless DG834N plugged in to maximise the broadband speed but...for some reason it will always connect wirelessly?

I have a 6mb broadband connection (confirmed) and a good router but my speed is at best tested at 1420kbps but most of the time its half that.

I cant figure out how to make the wired connection the default and not wireless? if that made sense.

The OS is Vista by-the-way.

How can I fix this?

Thanks all

You are not making any sense. ASCII schematics please.

When connected via wired LAN, you could hit the wireless switch on the Dell to disable the WLAN.

Login to the Router as Admin and disable the wireless..
Probably http://192.168.0.1 for you..

While you are there you can check all manner of diagnostics in order to sort out the upload/download issues.
