I have a problem with the Netgear router.
Both my laptop and the router are capable of 54mbs but I only get 11mbs.
I changed the power usage of the laptops wireless and the data usage went
upto 54 but when I accesssed the internet it went down to 11 again.

Any ideas?

Hi
Take a look at the Wireless Router settings and make sure that it is Not set
to work as 801.11b (11Mb/sec.), check it to Auto mode.

Thanks anyway.
