I need to know what the difference is between 54mbps and 11mbps cos I'm going to be sharing a 1.5meg connection between 2 computers and 1 laptop and need to know what speed I need.

Well it is 1.4MB, as 11Mbits is just under 1.4Mbytes. As you are sharing a 1.5Mbit connection the 11Mbit wireless connection is over 7 times faster than what the maximum speed of the internet can go.

Would be best to go for 54Mbits if you can, just for the extra speed for file transfering on an internal network.

if you think about it, 54 is bigger than 11, so which one would be faster, hhhmmm.
dunno if it's backwards compatible though, if no-one else in here posts go for the biggest, cos it means it can take the most, and less. the other one can only take less.
know what i mean?
