Is s wireless modem/router meant to give you quicker broadband speed over a modem/router? My understanding is it doesn't give extra speed, as all the speed is to do with what plan you are on and how fast the speed is with that particular ISP.
My friend has two computers, a desktop which has a slower processor (P4 I think), his other is a laptop which has a fast processor (dual core 2.2GHz). He has just bought a wireless 4 port modem/router so he can use both computers but he reakons his laptop 'broadband speed' is faster than his desktop broadband speed. I find this hard to believe, I'd say he's going by processor speed on his laptop which makes the whole laptop faster.
Please correct me if I'm not right.
