I've been runing wireless B & G cards on my cable modem and been getting about 800-1.3 download speeds. I was wanting to try out Linux again, but was unsure if my USB cards would work, so I pulled out my old DLink DWL-800+ AP(b) and modified it with the 810 firmware update to act as a wireless bridge.
I noiced downloads were averaging between 300-600 KB/Sec with the 800 vs. around 70-150 KB/Sec with the USB(b) and PCI(g) wireless cards. Checked DSL reports, running both configs and sure enough, consistently scored much higher using the 800 plugged into my LAN port vs. running straight off a wireless NIC.
Any ideas why this is happening? My latest Wireless Router is the Belkin 54G router, which is suprising as I would think the Belkin wirless PCI card would score the best benchmark???
