Is it possible to tweak a wirelees connection for faster speeds?

Here is what I have:
Cable Connection
ISP-RoadRunner

This is the TCP/IP test that is comming from the wireless router/base computer (which is the same as from my first post I belive):
TCP properties for IP = xxxxxxxxxxx()
Browser/OS = Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)
Notes: Read the Analyzer FAQ if the above is not your IP address.

TCP options string = 020405b401010402
MTU = 1500
MTU is fully optimized for broadband.
MSS = 1460
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1460, which equals MSS.

Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 17520
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 17520

RWIN is a multiple of MSS
Other values for RWIN that might work well with your current MTU/MSS:
513920 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 8)
256960 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 4)
128480 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2)
64240 (MSS x 44)
bandwidth * delay product:

Your RcvWindow limits you to: 700.8 kbps (87.6 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 280.32 kbps (35.04 KBytes/s) @ 500ms
Consider increasing your RWIN value to optimize TCP/IP for broadband.
MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON
Time to live left = 117 hops

TTL value is ok.
Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF
Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON
IP type of service field (RFC1349) = 00000000

On this computer I am running XP

My wireless access point/router is a linksys BEFW11S4

Yeah it's simple bookmark this site when you get the router set it up this way http://www.practicallynetworked.com...p.htm#manual_IP

Also when u get ur router goto 192.168.1.1 click on advanced and make sure block wan request is disabled and mtu is 1500

also make sure your firmware is updated there is an article that maxxami i hope i got name right wrote i'll try to find it:D
