Yes i get 50mbit all day and all night.

I'd do a speedtest but I'm uploading some stuff to a friend right now and it'd affect the result.

Wireless should be 30+ atleast - does you wirless device support 50mb - my partner uses a old laptop and that gets 20mb download via wireless but it does not support 50mb.

Do you mean the difference between wireless g and n rather than does not support 50Mb?

Age of the laptop won't make any difference if using the wireless n adaptor.

Might be an idea to open your own thread with this to see if you can get help/advice.
