Hey Dude,
I really am not sure what you are asking, however, I may have a clue.
First of all, there are only 3 written in stone standards.
802.11b (11 MB/Sec)
802.11a (54 MB/Sec, similar to b)
802.11g (54 MB/Sec)
And there is one draft standard.
802.11n (108 MB/Sec)
These standards are "At Best" standards, standing 1 foot away from the transmitter, with nobody else connecting, and no interference.
Now, the further you move away from the transmitter, the more obstacles that are in your way (walls, trees, people, etc) your signal strength diminishes.
That is why, when you are 100 ft. away from your wireless transmitter, while you can connect to it, it is weak.
Think of it like this, if you and I were standing side by side having a conversation, there would be no problem communicating, as long as we were speaking the same language, right? Now put us 100 ft apart and see what happens. Put some trees, building, and cars in the way, and basically we stop communicating. We may hear eachother from time to time, but we really can not have a conversation.
Our voices are on a frequency, just like the wireless transmitter.
Hope this helps.
Tom

More or likely the 6.5-8 is going to be the internet bandwidth. What your seeing is the wireless connection from your computer to the wireless router/modem. More info about the wireless connection is well said above. You can try to reset your router by unplugging it for 15-30 seconds and restart the computer and see if this helps at all.

Probably it's limited by your broadband line bandwidth, which is usually substantially slower than LAN speeds.

bandwidth does vary with time of day, number of people in your local area who're also using the line... don't worry, 1mbps is still pretty quick compared to the 56 kbps you used to get for dialup!

Interferance or a low speed device is on the network. The network speed is limited by the slowest device

10.0mpbs additionally capacity 10meg... however the cost would be in accordance with how a techniques you're out of your interior of sight replace. closer you are the swifter you will get yet once you're a techniques, the cost of you internet would be decreased... i think of it is a million or 2 meg each 1mile
