Ok, I have a crappy wireless connection to a 54 MBPS connection. The max download speed i ever got was like 550 KB/s... but it can go higher, can't it? if so, how do i make it do that?

54mbps is the transfer speed between computers on your network. You probably have a 512kbps DSL connection, which is your approximate maximum Internet download speed. So you can't really make it go faster.

Copying files from one computer on your network to another: 54mbps
Downloading a file from the internet to your computer: 512kbps

i was thinking the same thing. The only successful thing i'v done to increase my speed was to manually set my max MTU packet size on my router and pc. That gave me a 0.6mb boost in speed. But i dont think that would help you much.

because a non networked pc would go through the internet. If he only has 512kb download speed then he's not gonna get 54mb if the pc isnt networked.
Networked pc's dont need the internet. Thats why he would get the speed.

There are 2 different things being discussed here, router file transfer speed and internet speed. Internet speed is determined by the internet provider, while the router file transfer speed is determined by the router.

Networking doesn't mean only wired or only wireless, it includes both. Wired can go faster than wireless (1 gigabit wired vs. a 300mbps draft-n connection).

I see a lot of people confusing terminology here.

1MB/s or MBps = 1 megabyte per second

1mb/s or mbps = 1 megabit per second

8bits = 1 byte

If he is getting around 550KB/s, that means he's getting just under 5 megabits.

Wireless connections will typically max out at half of their theoretical rate, so assuming he has a decent signal, his LAN speed should be around 27mpbs. We can see he's getting <5mbps, so unless there's a poor signal the WLAN isn't the bottleneck.

Sounds like you have a 5meg connection, and that's about what it's running at, minus a bit of overhead for the wireless connection which is unavoidable. If you want a little bit more speed you can hardwire it, but it won't give too much of a speed increase, but the stability would definitely be worth it.

Keep in mind, no matter how fast your network is, your internet is only as fast as the weakest link, in this case it sounds like your net connection.
