What is the max actual download speeds that you can achieve through a wireless B connection? I know it says 11Mbps, but I wonder what the actual speed I will see is. I've been getting a much slower connection up here and I'm wondering if I've capped the network. My ISP is giving me 7 down and 512Kbps up, and the downstairs computer which is wired is seeing 6.7Mbps down. Up here on my wireless (WAP11 and WMP11 NIC) I get the 512 up but only about 4.3Mbps down max. The access point is by my estimation about 20 feet and 2 floors away. It is in the basement and this computer is on the second floor, but I'm almost right above it. At the most it might be traveling through another wall with the two floors.
