I've recently switched to a 30Mb/s plan but my asus wl530g router only gives out around 2.5Mb/s to 3.8Mb/s to the two computers wirelessly connected to it according to the tests i've done on the speedtest website.
I've tested it with my laptop right next to it to rule out distance being the cause of the low signal and I've also changed the channels it uses. Physically connecting my laptop to the router using a cable doesn't improve speeds either. I've also tried turning off the router firewall and disabling encryption but it hasn't made any difference.
When I tried connecting the laptop directly to the modem, the results i get are around 28Mb/s which are pretty close to the 30Mb/s advertised by the service provider and significantly higher than the speeds i get when using my router.
