When i use the speed tester on the laptop i get about 5801 kbits/sec

What is it that looses the 4000 kbits/sec?

Quite clearly the wireless then isn't it if that is the only difference.

How far away the wireless, and how good (or bad) is the signal? Strength makes a big difference in the thouroubouroughoraghghput.

Its a very good signal. I was wondering if there are any limits on what the laptop could handle. If not i guess its the router max, but i cant find any info i understand.
