Check the table at |

or numerous other guides courtesy of google. This shows that maximum |
| 7 |
throughput is roughly 27Mb/s for 54g, but in my experience its much less |
| 8 |
in the real world. |

Note that configuring a card for 54mb/s is the maximum - unless you are |
| 11 |
quite close (distance wise), have little interference and dont have a |
| 12 |
busy 802.11b on the same AP, you are not even going to see a 54, but a |
| 13 |
fallback. And I think encryption will clip it even further if you are |
| 14 |
using that (as you should be!) |
