Problems with Linksys WPC54G

I have a WRT54G wireless G router which seems to be working correctly
because visitors to my house are getting 54mps on their laptops.Problem
is: I have a Linksys WPC54G adapter in my notebook and all I ever get
is 11 mps. Any ideas on how I can get 54mps on my notebook?

Solved my own problem: In writting below, I moved my notebook closer
to the router and voila i am now getting 54mbps. Need to go back and
work on the range extender I could never get to work a few months ago.

Three things off the top of my head:

1) Update your drivers to the latest available FOR THAT VERSION OF
HARDWARE! Linksys is well-known for incompatible hardware revisions,
and installing the wrong drivers can really confuse things. If
there's no hardware version listed, it's V1.0

2) Configure your drivers to allow "b" and "g" mode. There should be
some configuration settings in Device Manager.

3) Something could be broken in your WPC, try another one or call
Linksys for support and troubleshooting assistance.
