    What speed do you get when you connect using a cable.

    Most of the wireless "headers" are sent at a very low data rate / robust encoding, to make sure all nodes on the network can receive them, so only the data portion of the packets will be sent at the fast rate.

    No mater how many mega bits are written on the box, this typically just refers to the data portion and not the headers, so realisticallly you'll never achieve that.

    Best go with some CAT5 cable if you can, or some power line adapters...
