| How to increase router speed from laptop?
Well Im not really an expert in this area, but when I downloaded a torrent at my friends house using my laptop and my wi-fi connection to his router(which is a belkin router) it said on my laptop that it had a speed of 54mbs, but when I went home and I checked the connection speed it was only 11mbs and I have a Linksys-B router. Is this beacause the brand of the router why his is faster than mine or do I have to modify somehow my router at home? I would greatly appreciate the help. Thanks. |

Fort Frances, ON | If by modify you mean replace with a G router, then yes. B is limited to 11mbps air speed. |

Pick-up Dlink DIR-625 or better yet DIR-655 both a faster than what you have now, plus you could use N 300mbps instead of G 54mbps for wireless. |

Don't forget if you buy a N router you will need to buy a N wireless network adapter preferably from the same mfr. |

Re: How to increase router speed from laptop?
My suggestion is to buy a Linksys WRT54G and not an 11N router. And D-Link is not a top tier choice. |
