Looks like you could be on a long line.
Useful would be any figures from your routers control
panel, such as Attenuation and Signal Noise, SNR,
S/N ratio.
Your fastest speed attainable will be when your
router is plugged directly into the BT master socket,
with all phones and extension wiring disconnected.
If it is a long line problem then you could
try a router with a long, high loss line, flash.
If I use the UK2 flash instead of the standard
flash, I get a significant speed increase,
with higher reported S/N ratio, and lower
reported attenuation.
As far as I can deduce all the UK2 flash does
is increase the gain, since due to line length
there is little risk of overloading the front end.
If you assume a standard send level then
turning up the gain delivers more signal,
so the attenuation looks less. With
a bit more gain if the higher frequencies
aren't buried in the noise, you get
a bit better S/N ratio, and higher speed.
WRT wiring use twisted pair, it's not
a good idea to run modem/router wires
alongside mains wiring, also energy saing
bulbs have a two transistor switching
inverter which can generate noise.
Try to separate the routers PSU from
the router, both wallwart and cased
PSU's produce magnetic fields, which
you don't want near your routers PCB
that is handling very small signals.
