My ISP recently upgraded me to fiber with 15Mb/768Kb from 1.5Mb/256Kb. When I connect my laptop via ethernet to the wireless router I can get 14Mb+/700Kb+. When I connect via the wireless network, I only get about 7.5Mb+/700Kb+. I get the same results on 2 different laptops and with 2 different wireless routers. On the computers it says connection strength is excellent (54.0Mb/sec) - I'm only a few feet from the router. Do I not have something setup correctly? Any help is greatly appreciated. -Mark
