It will try to use all available bandwidth to send you a file, and has fast fiber optic links most of the way.
The "last mile", the part handled by your ISP, is usually the slowest segment of the trip. Yours is limited to Mbps. Having faster wireless equipment locally helps with perceived speed, but the bandwidth from outside will never be any more than the slowest part of the trip.

I would expect to see around 30Mbps with your setup, assuming 20MHz channel width and both ends supporting It does happen if not to everyone who thinks like that.
Well, waves are susceptible to interference due to external factors like other signals, objects like walls, or even other network traffic. Consequently, the signal is deteriorated substantially, which results in slower network speeds with increasingly higher lag time. While, wired Ethernet, conversely, does not have these issues. In Ethernet cables, the signal drops when the length of the wire exceeds the meters threshold. Moreover, in Ethernet cables, the device holds only one dedicated path to send and receive data packets.
Therefore, one communicated channel without much interference and cross-talk in particulars to Ethernet cables provides faster and better internet speed. It is without a doubt that Wi-Fi connections have become so popular that almost everyone has at least one Router in their home.
Oftentimes, the speed issue is a major concern for online game players or people who really are crazy at watching HD videos only. People like to envision WiFi networks as if there are invisible wireless ethernet cables between the wireless access point and client devices.
Every device added to the WiFi network shares the same backhaul to the router. Every AP services clients is a round robin fashion. They all get in line and then take turns talking with the AP alone, kinda like a bank teller or cashier.
Then they get back in line and wait their turn for the next chunk of data. Access Points serve up requested data to client devices, who wait in a circular queue for more data.
This goes on many times a second. The more clients, the more users in line waiting for their turn literally a slice of time they get to talk to the access point , the worse the performance for everyone.
Like adding an old lady in a walker to this queue diagram above; Everyone is waiting on this old lady, every circuit. In the real world, everyone is using all sorts of wireless technology everywhere. There is only so much radio spectrum to go around. Even within your home there are numerous competing wireless technologies, and even stuff like microwaves which hum along at a frequency similar to WiFI because everything runs in the same limited consumer band dictated by government.

Am I wrongfully annoyed? Im thinking its time for a new router but none stand above the rest for me. Can you suggest a reliable router that will at least get to half of my wired speed? Such as is it Different standards transfer at different rates and distances. Wired connections have historically been much faster than wireless speeds. Comparing wired to wireless, you will always receive faster speeds on the physical connection as opposed to the broadcast connection.
Most modern consumer-grade wireless routers are almost identical in terms of speeds or functionalities. With that being said, I am usually a proponent of Linksys instead of the D-Link, Belkin, and similar models simply due to personal experiences with the devices and their longevity. Wireless G is rated for a maximum throughput of 54Mbps and only averages around 20Mbps, but it is susceptible to slowdowns due to connection interference.
Signals can be distorted by location of the router, walls in between, and even other outside forces that are uncontrollable by you, like your proximity to a cell tower. I would say that you should evaluate the placement of the router first. Make sure that it is away from other electrical devices, and that you are as close to line-of-sight as possible with it. For testing purposes, put it in the the middle of the room that you are in and see what happens.
The great news is that the WRT54G is a hackers playground. Actual speed is always lower than rated speed, even directly connecting in the back. WPA slows it, the firmware slows it, the rules on the router slow it, interference slows it.
Check the wireless device configuration from both router and PC and verify if the appropriate My personal experience is using them to support large technology company booths with many wired and wireless demos at tradeshows. Trade shows are a very challenging, fairly non-deterministic environment..
Keep in mind, however, the environment plays a far stronger role than in a wired network.
