Hellooo

Just curious...but do wireless routers have a speed limit as well?

reason I ask is cause my connection was recently upgraded to 10 megs. When I have my modem connected directly to my pc I get the full 10 megs and files download at roughly 1.17meg/sec.

However, when i connect it to my wireless belkin gateway 802.11b router (model F5D6231-4) my max download speed falls to 500kb/sec. Its a very old router so could that cause the reduction is speed???

If so, could someone recommend a better router that I can use, cause iv got 2 other laptops and a ps3 connected to this router.

cheers
