I had a very outdated router which gave me only up to 11Mbps wirelessly.. just installed new linksys g range router. says i get 54Mbps. did a speed and i seem to be running just as slow as before. do i need to either purchase a new network card or usb attachment so it runs faster. or even a new modem?

U will only see the 54 mbs increase when transferring files from one computer to the other

internet will depend on your ISP speed not your routers

My home computer is getting these speeds, obviously being hooked directly up to a coax is making it faster but can i come any closer to these speeds with my labby.

Please post your ISP package, what OS your using, and the basic PC specks.

 Yes you should be getting much more then that, wireless or not. You may have settings incorrect in your router, and or the machine.

 When you say " linksys g range router " that doesn't mean much to me, please post the router model number.  Smile

poe ( Power Over Ethernet )   Is the bridge ( wireless router ) plugged in to a power source, or is it plugged in w/ the ethernet cable ?
