Will a notebook adapter speed up the wireless connection?
I recently set up a Netgear Wireless-N router (WNR2000) and my laptop is connecting at 54 Mbps. There are some sites I visit frequently that make me feel like I'm still on dial-up, they load so slowly. Would purchasing one of the recommended Netgear notebook adapters really speed up my connection? I assume it does something different from the wireless card already in my laptop. Are there other things I need to check or reconfigure to make it faster?
On a wired connection I get 100 Mbps. Is that slow? Should I contact my ISP (which I dread, they're never helpful)?

N has better range and throughput, but your issue is probably more at your Internet connection than the wireless. 54Mbps gives you about 22Mbps in the real world, if your speeds are similar to dial-up, it is not the wireless that is the issue.
Do you have the same issue if you use the wired connection?
