at the moment the icon in the bottom of the screen says 54mbps and that the signal is excellent, but this is when the laptop is less than a metre away from the router,

but if i move say ten meters away the connection drops to somthing like 18 or 11mbps and signal strengh is either low or very low, would interference from other routers cause this sort of problem?

whats sort of problems do other peoples routers cause?

and when the laptop is really close shouldn't it say 125mbps on the icon on the bottom right, or will it always say 54 mbps as the highest but can work at higher speeds.
