very slow wireless network

Hi,

I have a Vigor 2600VGST (ADSL+Router+ Switch + firewal, and so on...).
i have a notebook connected to my home workgroup via wireless.
when i check the speed i get 2.6 MB /s max. and usually average is 1.7
MB /s. which is very poor when you know that notebook wireless can reach
100 MB/s and my PC 1 Gb/s.

My PC network adapter is in 100 TX half duplex, but nothing like that
exist for wireless, so i'm not able to check what is the real problem.

i tried to check speed between 2 of my PCs and i get 7 MB/s...which is
better but still so far from the 12 or 15 MB/s that we usually can
expect from 100 Mb/s Network adapter.

so where could be located the problem ?

thx.

Hi
Actually is seems quite good.
1.7MB/sec is about 17Mb/sec. which is the typical "Speed" provided by
802.11g Wireless Network connection.
