11Mbps vs 54Mbps

I have a new laptop IBM T60 with 802.11g wireless card built-in, and a new
Linksys 802.11g router. However, I can only seem to get a 11Mbps connection
out of it.

When I turn on the radio, it connects at 54Mbps for a few seconds, then
slows down. My signal strength is Excellent, I am not using any security,
but do use MAC address filtering.

How can I force the it to run the higher speed?

Check the wireless settings in the router's configuration utility and
make sure that it is set to "G-only".

That works - simple if you know how,

Thank you for your help
