[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1259914, member: 110816"] Hardwire your MBP to the router and re-run the tests and see if you get close to your allotted speed or what you were getting when you were directly connected to the modem. Wireless is always going to be slower and has a ton of retransmissions and so on slowing things down. I look at all of those "Up to 150 Mbps.." statements as pure marketing..you almost need to be in a very pristine interference free environment to get those speeds.. At the 2.4 Ghz space, you have other devices, natural interference, microwaves and so on all flooding that spectrum.. If you intend to predominantly connect to your router wirelessly, you might want to consider downgrading to the 32 Mbps (which is STILL a ridiculous speed) and save the money.. [/QUOTE]
