Avoniker,
Your speeds are definitely better on the new router, and pretty good for a wireless link. My apartment building, in the internet ghetto called China, was wired with cheap ethernet cables and provides marginal performance. Running wi-fi through two walls provides this result from speedtest.net:
(on stock antenna) down 3.94 Mbps Up 6.11 Mbps ping 70 ms
With a
20 element wi fi yagi on the router, beaming through the walls, I get a full 100% signal and these speeds:
(on stock antenna) down 4.97 Mbps Up 6.97 Mbps ping 36 ms
So with a better RF signal, I seem to have hit the limit of my local ethernet and router combo. You are likely to see a similar effect on your wireless connection, but with higher numbers than here! Fiber to the home and quality ethernet cable direct to your computer would provide the fastest possible speed.
