>>>Kind of strange. Got 2 laptops and a PC on the wireless network/internet. The two laptops are at 54mbps according to their respective wireless manager apps, but the PC is at 11mbps. The new Linksys USB adapter is a 54g, so I expected a higher connection. It is much further away from the router, but I still would have thought it would connect at 54 and just not process that fast. Just trying to figure out what's going on.

>Great on the two laptops, but poor on the PC. Though, it says on the Linksys app that it's getting 48, the other thing that looks like a little computer with an antenna says it's only getting 11. Don't know who to believe. The internet connnection doesn't act really slow, but it is slower than the laptops.

Going from 54 Mb to 11 Mb shouldn't affect your internet speed unless you have a blazing fast connection. Normal cable broadband is around 3 Mb.

If you go to a command prompt and type IPCONFIG, your router IP should be the Default Gateway displayed.
