what wireless speed is normal

i have set up a second pc in the house and connected it as a wireless
network.I have 1MB DSL isp.The other computer is only getting about
11mbps.Is this normal or should it be faster????

wireless is shared bandwidth - so the more clients you have connected
to the access point the equal bandwidth they get..

You have a 1mbps connection, not 1MB...

802.11b speed is 11Mbit a second.
And you're getting 1Mbit from your ISP, not 1MB.

It depends on the signal strength. At that speed I would say it is around
25% or maybe less.
Try moving the aerial on the card on the PC and you might notice the speed
increase. It's far faster than anything your ISP can throw at you so i
wouldn't be too worried about it. The only time you would notice is if you
transferred a big file from one PC to another.

The actual WiFi throughput (at best) is half the quoted speed (27Mbps or
5.5Mbps) and then this reduces depending on traffic and interference.

Either way, the limiting factor for you will be the broadband feed rate. If
you upped this past 3Mbps, I think you'd see the WLAN being your
bottleneck...

Doubt it, "1mbps" is 1 millibit per second. More like 1Mbps.
