...settings, which is all displayed down the left hand side of it's configuration page which is normally found at http://192.168.0.1
On the windows icon, I am getting 270mb which drops to 240mb at night (when the wireless signal gets weaker), thats brilliant when you consider that SSID radio name is hidden, WPA2 is enabled, and MAC filtering is enabled. My signal is so strong I can even pick up my neigbours wireless network, which I could never do before.
Alll in all a great wireless router, with plenty of features and extras, such a network streaming files all over ther house, as its capable of streaming music and tv (at the same time!!) from your bedroom pc into your living room downstairs!!

The greatest thing about this router is the Wired and Wireless option. The ethernet hub on the rear of the router allows for up to 4 PC's to be connected at 100Mbps, and the Wireless allows for multiple (lots) of wireless connections of speeds up to 54Mbps. The modem is compatible with Wireless protocols 802.11b (11Mbps) and 802.11g (54Mbps)
The wireless option is made particularly secure by being compatible with several security schemes. Ranging from WEP (64 - 256bit) and WPA, as well as RADIUS authentication.
