Broadband connection issue

Hi all, i hope you can help............

I have set up a home network using a bt voyager 2100 router wired via
ethernet adapter to my main pc. I have a second pc that is in another room
that has a wireless adapter to connect to the router.The problem i have is
that whilst the wired connection is perfect for download/upload speeds the
other is very slow when downloading. The icon indicates that the wireless
connection has a good connection speed of well over 1mbps yet i can only
seem to get download speeds at around 20kbps on sites that are very fast on
the wired machine.
Is this something i will have to get used to or are there some settings i
havent adjusted properly???

1M is fairly crap, should be 11 Mbps really. Should outstrip the ADSL
though, even then.

Come on down !

Probably a bit of an effort but you should try moving the wireless PC
closer (like right next to) the wireless router to improve the link
between the two. See what your download speeds are with an improved
connection.

It might say 1Mbps on the screen but the practical speed is much much
lower.
