I just installed a Netgear 802.11g router (WGR614). I currently have two computers connected to it -- one has a Netgear 802.11g wireless PCI adapter and the other computer is wired directly to the router.
I would expect that when I copy files from the wired to wireless computer, I would get about 23Mbs transfer speed. However, when I look at the monitor that came with the wireless card when transferring a file, it shows the receive speed as fluctuating wildly between 0.39 Mbps and 13 Mbps, with an average of about 6 Mbps.

Does this seem normal? Am I expecting too much?
Thanks,
