Being on wireless alone shouldn't slow the connection noticeably though.

Connected to my router with about a 2' wire.
802.1g Wireless connecting at full strength 54mbps about 1.5' away from my router

Cable = 6-8mbps in most places
802.11g = 54mbps
Tell me how something that has 6-8 times the bandwidth is going to slow the connection down? Even though 54mbps is a speed you'll never truly get, wireless is plenty fast for the connections.
So do you believe a 6" exhaust flows better on a d15 than a 4"?
It's plenty either way.

Um, comparing exhaust fluids to wifi doesn't exactly work....
I challenge anyone to compare their wireless speed to their hardline speed. Keep the distances close to the router and make sure your signal strength is 100% and you are connecting at a full 54mbps. Once you are offering 10mbps downstream, you will start noticing significant differences. Sub 10mbps, the differences are less significant. It all has to do with bandwith. The more, the better. I'm sure if I was running a gigabit line, my download speed would increase.
I've done the test a number of times with a number of different computers with a number of different routers. Results are always the same. Hardline is faster due to increased bandwith and wireless just being inefficient due to packet loss in the air.

As soon as you boot up, at least on Comcast, your modem will be forced to download the official bootfile.
I wish I was electronically inclined enough to have it flash just the speed caps after it's on, kinda like how the ram-editing cheat stuff (gameshark, etc) works. Just not sure if it's possible to flash while it's on. Usually, not.

Re: If you have Comcast...
I have Elite DSL from AT&T/SBC, the most expensive package, and I'm pretty unhappy.
That's through wireless and shared between 3 computers and two PS3's. The speeds are so-so, as I usually get the advertised 3-6Mbps. But the internet is always going down momentarily and SBC refuses to help us out. They just say that since, at the time they run their tests, we're getting the advertised speeds, they can't send anyone out or do any other testing.
The only reason I'm reluctant to go to Cable is because they're traffic shaping and limiting people who torrent. Once the Net Neutrality Act or whatever they're calling it these days goes through, maybe then.
Also, buk, are you high? My DSL is 6 Mbps download and 748 kbps upload. That's slower than pretty much the slowest cable can get.

After modem reset still on wireless, i should plug in ethernet and see how fast it really is, why does wireless make it so much slower!

I guess I just have a great wireless network, but I was always able to get the speed ratings I was supposed to a couple rooms away on a wireless g network. With 0 packet errors.
