Hi all

I've been hooked up with the Rogers Extreme service for a while now, and
have
noticed the following (in my setup):

- when wired directly to the modem, I am able to reach the 5 Mbps level
- when wired directly to the MR814 router and then to the modem, I am able
to
reach the 4 Mbps level
- when wirelessly directed to the MR814 router and then to the modem, I am
able to
reach the 3 Mbps level

Has anyone else noticed similar behaviour? I'm running the latest firmware
for the router, and have an Intel PRO/Wireless LAN PC Card.

My guess is added latency from the router and from 802.11 transmission. (I
have the same router and wireless NIC.)
