Hello people.

What wireless speeds can I expect to get with a 50mb connection ?
With my sons pc I have had no joy using the supplied Netgear dongle as it was so slow so went back using the old Belkin g dongle.
Speed tests are between 10 and 20 mb.

Now the real problem is my laptop - a brand new Acer 8930 with built in wireless n.
It is giving me the same sort of speeds - 10 to 20 mb wireless with speednet.
On looking at my wifi connection it is stating its connected at 54Mbps. I though it should upto 300Mbps ?
I get this speed all over the house and I am using WPA2.

Is it running in g mode ? Some help or advice would be great.
I am in Maidstone, Kent too and using a fixed ethernet brings me between 40 to 50 mb so at least it is a wireless problem.

Cheers guys.
