[Wireless] Newbie Linsys wireless question on speed..

I have installed Lynksis E900. I have my computer wired to the router and laptop is wireless, which I also use for phone and TiVO. A speedtest with the computer gives me around 50 mbps....however, if do the speedtest with my laptop and/or phone, I only get around 10-15 mbps. I have tested it right next to the router, so it's not a signal issue. I have read that some loss is expected when connected wrelessly, but isn't this a considerable amount of loss? This unit replaces a much older G router, and there was nowhere near this much loss. Maybe someone here can help or explain. Thanks.

Re: Newbie Linsys wireless question on speed..

Is your phone & laptop "N" capable?
Do you have your wireless options set to "Mixed, G or N"?
What encryption are you using for security?
What channel are you using?
Are you using stock firmware?
Any other settings or options you changed?
