Getting more from my wireless router

[bushmins]

Ive got a Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router WRT54GS. My broadband speed is 10meg, the most i can get from the router using wireless is 6meg, when i connect it via ethernet i get the full 10meg.

It stays at a constant 6meg no matter how near the laptop is to the router.
Is that the max the WRT54GS can pump out on wireless or am i doing something wrong?

The maximum transfer speed with that router is 54MBps. Ethernet is usually 100MBps. It's not really a bottleneck but you seem to have made it so, so there's nothing you can do, short of having it connected by Ethernet all the time. Or upgrading to Wireless N, which can do 300MBps.

There is a networking forum for a reason....

Theres nothing i can do because ive made it a bottle neck? Im not really sure i understand that. Is there something i can reverse to undo what ever i have done?

Or were you being sarcastic?

I use a D Link 615 (wireless N) with both my laptops (built in G) and i still get the full 20MB more or less anywhere in the house.

You should still be able to get 10meg easy over G.

Try replacing the antenna with high gain ones?

Better/new wireless card for the laptop?

I think where yours is wireless N and mine is G means (as i gather from Superewza) that the max i can get from my router is about 6.7meg.

But still, the connection between my laptop and my router is only 54mbps (G) so its the same.

My friend has 20meg and they use a WPN824 (G) and i get full 20meg speeds from there wireless too.

The limit of G is about 20meg, virgin used to give a wireless G router away with there XL (20meg) and still do with there L (10meg)
