@davidknechtges@... you're partially right, but because of frame overhead (and their Acks), maximum true throughput for 11a and 11g is just over 27Mbps. Still, most cable connections max out @6Mbps, unless you've paid extra for a 10, 15 or 20MBps connection. Even then, you might not actually have that much bandwidth available (if you pay extra for it, I recommend testing it often at places like http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest or http://www.speedguide.net/speedtest/ et al... and don't be too quick to blame your provider without a baseline - and a retest - on your LAN first).
