I would think that of course wireless is going to be slower than a corded connection but am I correct on this? When I use the bandwith meter on CNET I am only getting about half of what I used to with my desktop.

There is probaly something interfering between the router and the computer. it can also depend on the location of the computer, to the router. More things between it, more interference

Yea, this is true, more things between the router and your laptop, the more interference. Like me, I live a house has lots of walls. If I go to my room, of couse, I get no interference, however if I go to the living room, which is about 100 feet and walls are blocking some signal, more interferecne.

The computer and the router actually happened to be on the same desk when I ran the bandwith meter. Probably not even 2 feet from each other.

Update your Firmware and Drivers then..that will do the trick
-
I have updated to the newest firmware for my router but how can I go about updating my drivers for my wireless card? I have never done that before.
-
Just go to Intels website if you have an Intel card...look for wireless, and then your card. its easier than doing the firmware
-
I'm not really sure what kind of card I have...Whats in my signature is all I know...
-
Alright, so I have figured out that I have a Broadcom wireless card. Its an 802.11b/g..I could not find anything as fa r as a model number but I went to Broadcom's website and I didn't see anything about drivers. Can someone please point me in the right direction?

wireless is slower than wired. half the speed? maybe that's all you're gonna get. you won't match wired speed.
Internet drag on wireless?
