Comcast Speed Test for Linksys BEFSR41

I'm preparing to install a new router, the Linksys WRT54G. It says it supports Wireless-G (802.11g at 54Mbps) and Wireless-B (802.11b at 11Mbps).

Let's take a look at my current speeds before the upgrade using the Speakeasy Speed Test.

Speed Test 1:


Wired connection to Linksys BEFSR41. This router supports speeds up to 10Mbps.

Speed Test 2:


Wireless Connection to Apple Airport Base Station (1st Generation Graphite 11Mbps), which is connected to the Linksys BEFSR41 via a cable running from the 3rd floor to the second floor.

Hmm... That isn't too good.
