This sounds like the "getting only b speeds" thread. If your connection
management icon (Windows or manufacturer) lists a speed of 11 Mbps, then
your client has associated to the network as an 802.11b device. The list of
802.11g bitrates does not include 11, 5.5, 2, or 1. Note that 802.11g
includes full support for 802.11b, so an 802.11g device can go the 802.11b
route.
802.11g routers and APs often allow you to exclude 802.11b devices, and most
802.11g client configuration managers let you specify whether or not the
device can attempt to connect as 802.11b or not. For example, my client
config manager lists "support bands" which can be enabled or disabled. If
you select 11B only, the client will try the sequence 11/5.5/2/1 Mbps to
associate with the AP. If you select 11G, it will try 54/48/36/24/18/12/9/6.
