Hello, I thought i would post a message just in case anyone could help, i have searched the forum and couldnt find anything to answer it. I got a new laptop yesterday with a wireless thing in it called RT73 USB wireless LAN card, and i bought with the pc a belkin wireless router which i think is F5D7230uk4. it says in windows its connected at 54mbps and the signal is full up because im right near it etc. I never lose connection or anything but the problem i have i speed. im on ntl 10 meg one and with wire connection to the router i get the full speed etc, but on wireless i get a max of about 6-7mbits. so when i download stuff its taking longer. i was wondering if this is normal for the wireless stuff or if maybe i have something not set right. anyway help or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.
