Some computers can show a connection of 100.0 mbps. this is actual lan speed between computers, or "max" speed. when a dial-up connection is established, it can come up and say connected at 52.6k or whatever. very rarely will you actually download or upload at 52.6k, it is more likely to be about a tenth of that which is about 5k. In wireless this just means that your connection speed will transfer at a max of 5.4 mbps which is still really fast, and thats still only if there is no other traffic. but the real thing that determines internet speed is the upload speed of the isp to the modem and then the router. which in most cases is around 786k or in more expensive ones 1.5mbps. like i said it will only dl at about a tenth of that so around 78.6k and 160k for both. Now thats not a limit thats just an average. You can Dl up to that specific point at which it is maxed out but your isp can only upload so fast as the server that you pull from. so to sum it all up. 54mbps is a great speed for wireless routers, but you'll never expierence that speed unless you go to another computer connected to the router. and even then you'll be very slow to get that.

LOL.. Most broadband internet connections are 1.5mb or less, really fast, expensive ones are around 3-5mb. So it doesn't matter if you've got a Gigabyte switch, when you access the Internet, you're limited by the speed of that connection. So no, you don't need 108mbps for the Internet. Where that might come in handy is copying large files between computers on your home network (Like video and high-resolution photos). For 99% of stuff most people do, 54mbps on their local network is fine, and its over 32x faster than their Internet connection. Of course that's 108mbps under the best circumstances- often your actual speed will be lower. For the consistently fastest network connection, just plug in a CAT5 cable and get 100mbps all the time, with no interference or worries about signal strength.

54 Mbps is the default speed (universal)from modem to router communication -- it's not really the speed that you ordered but you can identify the real speed that you have when you run the speed test - it would be best when you run the speed test together with your Tech ISP for valid result.

yes it is an excellent speed....however do not be fooled, because your modem may only distribute a speed of lets say 768 kbps, not 54 mbps like your router says, it just means the transfer between router and modem is quick.

Yeah it's pretty much the standard - lots of big companies such as BT provide customers with 54mbps routers, BT may not be fantastic but at 54mbps you can easily acheive 300kbs download speeds.

yeah, thats an ok speed for an wireless router, could get little lags now and then

Yes indeed. Thats what my wireless detects and it goes pretty fast!

Unless your internet connection is more than 54mbs

you have a very good connection speed

it's more than you'll ever need because it's probably much faster than your internet connection.
