Even with my laptop sitting 1 ft from the wireless router I still get the same speeds. We just moved into this house and only the essentials are unpacked, i.e. tv and computers.

The Linksys WRT54G is running dd-wrt firmware. Any idea where to look in the GUI?

I'm using the built in wireless adapter on my Asus P5K Deluxe WiFi-AP and built in wireless adapter on my Dell Latitude D830. Since both of these are experiencing the same slow wireless speeds it makes me think something in the router settings is limiting the speed.

The wireless adapter in my PC is Realtek RTL8187 Wireless 802.11g 54Mbps USB2.0

In the GUI of the router the broadcast is set to mixed.
