Improving the wireless speed from 11 mbps to 54 mbps is unlikely to improve your internet speed; the top speed package available from Starhub is 10 mbps (apart from some local link stuff which I can't recall in detail), so it's slower than your wireless speed.

 

If you need to get your wireless speed up to 54 mbps you need to make sure that the wireless adapter on your PC follows the 802.11 g or n standard. If your adapter is only 11 mbps, it's the original b standard.

 

On your wireless router, which I'm pretty sure will support 802.11 g, you also need to set the speed to 54 mbps.

How is your desktop connected wirelessly to the router? Normally it would be an external USB adapter, or perhaps an internal PCI card. In either case, there's usually an antenna sticking out.

 

If you have an add-on card, what brand/model is it?

hello sonofdbn,

I use a external USB Aztech brand type G, connected to the PC.

What next ?

thanks

If the Aztech is type g, then it's a little weird that you're only getting 11 mbps. Where did you see this speed shown?

 

If it's really 11 mbps, then I suggest you check your router's wireless settings and make sure it's set to connect at 54 mbps. Also check that the Aztech is set to connect at 54 mbps. You'll have to look at the instructions that came with both devices or search the net for instructions.
