BT 2Wire router

I have inherited a 'BT' 2Wire 1800 ADSL router left over from a 2Mbit
upgrade (we used some decent kit instead!).

The router is fine for home use and has a built-in Wireless Access
Point. According to the 2Wire Web site all their 1800s have a 54Mbit
Wireless Access Point but I can only connect at 11Mbit. Can anyone
confirm the right spec? Does BT supply 'older' or 'knobbled' ones?

Stating the obvious, you are using a 54Mbit wireless card in your
PC/Laptop right ?

That would be the sticky-outey-of-the-slotty-thingy with 54g written on
it - right? ;-D

I actually cancelled the original post 3 mins after posting because I
discovered that 2Wire have 802.11b (11Mbps) and 802.11g (54Mbps)
versions of the 1800 - guess which one BT supply :-(
