hi<br />
i have a belkin router and i use virgin media as my isp. &nbsp;i have upto 20mb connection. when i connect my toshiba qosmio laptop directly to the belkin54g router the internet speed works fine. however when i go wireless there is a atleast 40% decrease in performance. <br />
<br />
both laptop and router are capable of transmitting and receiving 20mb so why do i get the performance issue when im on wireless<br />
<br />
i would be great full if someone can address this problem <br />
<br />
cheers

networking with belkin

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.

Wireless Hardware

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
