I'm getting ~2800 mega-bit/s downloads when using wireless compared to ~8000 mega-bit/s when directly connected.
I have a friend at my house and we tested his wireless connection using his laptop and he was getting ~8000 mega-bit/s so I doubt it has to do with my router.
His wireless card: 802.11b/g Wireless LAN
His OS: Vista Home Premium
My wireless card: 802.11a/b/g Wireless LAN
My OS: XP Professional
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

Did you set your own wireless card to g-mode only?

Vista is known to have better network performance than XP. MS re-wrote their networking code from ground up. It's about the only thing MS has done right in vista. Everything else in Vista is slower if you can get it to work.

Well they actually did. They did some major stack work.

Tweak your TCP/IP settings? Use Cablenut with its addon update.
