Really strong! I was getting a consistent 54Mbps during my battery’s life." > If I go to "Status for Local Connection" on MY computer, it says 100mbps all the time. But my actual speed is only about 17mbps. Hmm, strange... Get the point? It is your wireless card that has the _potential_ of reaching 54mbps. How on earth (in the air) did you ever believe that you had that speed up there? Did it even feel like you reached those incredible numbers? But anyway - if your signals were showing full power, it only means that the wireless router onboard is transmitting without interference and/or obsticles. Which is good, obviosly. On the other side - is has absolutely nothing to do with your speed. I can set up a home line here at 1mbps and still get full power on the _signals_. I hope not Row 44 uses this review of yours in their advertising. Although, I think they would love to. Quote;
