Re: Wireless Bottleneck?
If you're running an 802.11b router then you're doing well to get a throughput of 4Mb. For a 10MB connection you'll need at least 802.11g standard. (At this stage anything above that is going to mean locking yourself in to one brand of hardware.) Even then it'll depend on all the usual stuff - interference, obstructions, local WLAN density, etc.

There is always the unfortunate possibility that the area you're in suffers from congestion - but running speed tests at different times of day with a direct wired connection between the modem and the PC should identify that.
