Router using 802.11b rather than g?

So my router is a Dlink Di-524 802.11b/g and I'm using the intel 3945 a/b/g card.

When I transfer files from 1 computer to another, the speed is between 700 and 1200KBps wich would be the speed of 802.11b (11mbps?) no? My internet connection is a 7.1mpbs through optical fiber and 750KB is what I often get as a download speed.

The signal strengh is 4/5 and both computer on Vista x64 fully updated.

Is it normal speed or it really is using the b connection? Having it connected to g for a 10MBps would be goddly to transfer 6GB files =/

EDIT: I checked in the router's page and it says the connection is 11g. I'll try with the USB adaptor that came with it later then

 

In the router settings you can set it so that it only transmit G I have the same router I dont like it

 

does you laptop show you connect at 54 meg?

 

These are not the same units. multiply 750KB * 8 = 6 mbp to convert Bytes in to bits.

 

Yes I know, my max donwload speed is 888KB/s or something near but I almost never get that, pretty much arround 555-730 most of the time

Andy, how do I see that?

EDIT: Looks like it, the status says 48mbps, my router also says 11g. That sucks

 

Most all web sites restrict band width. So not getting max is normal. You need to test using wired and wireless from the same site, with in minutes of each other.

Download and use Cablenut to optimize your connection settings. It's the only one I have found that's worked for me. Make sure you get the the optional pack, it has more settings in it.
