Get a faster connection to your ISP.
Its capacity might be 11MBps but it can only transmit what it receives
as input - and I doubt your ISP connection is 11MBps - more like
512KBps or perhaps 1M. It should use closer to it's maximum when
transmitting data between computers connected to your network.

I apologize, I should have been more clear

This when i transfer files on an internal network.

I'm trying to stream a dvd from a computer in the basement to my notebook.
My max speed is 320kb/s

I even went out and bought a microsoft wireless g router+card 54MBps.

Same problem.

Any advice?

Hi

When the Wireless source and the Wireless client are one feet apart a
54Mb/sec. connection should yield a functional transfer of 18-22Mb/sec.
(b=bit) which is a file transfer of about 2.5MB/sec. B=Byte).

Once the client is in another location it depends on the envioroment
(Distance, and or Electrical Noise).

You might need to extend the coverage, or Bridge a connection.

May be this can Help.
