On the Broadband forum

I have been trying to find out why my download speed is so slow (as I'm on 10Mb and it rarely goies above 4Mb). The latest suggestion is that my Wireless USB Adaptor (Belkin F5D6050) and/or PC (HP Pavillion) may be causing a bottleneck (router is also a Belkin 802.11b). So, I've switched forums to see if one of you networking guru's can help, please.

* Can you buy Wireless Ethernet Adaptors (as I've only ever seen USB)?
* If my current USB Adaptor is USB1.1 could this cause of the problem?
* Is there any way that I can check what is slowing down my connection?

Thanks in advance.
