I have a D-Link DSL-G604T, It supports 802.11 b & g. I have it broadcasting mixed as my mums iBook requires the b as it doesnt support g.
Security wise I only have MAC filtering on, no one lives close enough to me to use my connection anyway.

25% increase now in wireless signal using G mode only
Layout 4
Front view
Upside view
Router (top)
Has taken a while to get this to work right, but the results a better now that the wireless is showing 20% boost under Wireless Mon 3.x. As you can see near the right ANT I have use 5/8 thick heater core hose to isolate any EMI/EMF or radio noise onto the Ethernet Cables. All power cords are away to the sides prior it was on the floor. Coax is away from the Ethernet.

DIR-655 wireless G/N router
Next
NETGEAR FS608 10/100 switch (only G & 100 routed)
Next
NETGEAR GS605 10/100/1000 switch (only gig routed)
Next
Cable Modem 43mb/s down max
Highest in 2008 with DLINK DIR-655

Very neat - and you are going to upset a load of Brits with transfer rates like that!

Nothing is bogus about WAN to LAN or LAN to WAN..
I just shot a video using speedtest (download/upload) and uploaded it onto youtube (also compose music) standard and high quality viewing is also available)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmPNPir6JVY
LAN to LAN PC to PC transfers I use Teracopy (uses 256kb) over the gig transfers it saves about 2 seconds off the 10 seconds using XP copy for a 300MB file so that would be 8 seconds.
I really don't have to use Teracopy (freeware) but someone had pointed it out to me. Next time I do another large transfer I'll post the video on youtube so you can watch it move!
25 mb/s

Well the same here but good to know what's going on today.. Prior years with the dial-up from 2400bps to what's available to today is better still we all got a long way to go. What I do to here might not work for some but it working. Still WAN downloads speeds among my peers seems more present, than LAN to LAN transfers. LAN to LAN and WLAN to WLAN I've tested that using multi-player setups with the 5 nephews on a mix wired and wireless . I always wanted to know how that works. I had not lag problems so that's a good sign right there.
I also stream media over the network to 7x media network players at 100mbps so roughly 66mbps.

D-Link DL-540 (old router lol) and 64bit WEP with mac filtering. Like another responder, WPA2 didn't work well, but I didn't even bother with WPA.

Tested Wireless G
Here's what I get in my place using G mode only using channel 6 on 3 wireless access points where 2 uses dd-wrt. Testing was on old laptop I use for wireless monitoring.. The dlink with 11 is someone else that I pickup. I also can pickup Rescue (EMS station about 1 mile away) They use channel 3.

Project - How to Isolate Wireless Radiation from interfering with Ethernet Cable
The above image shows you how to isolate the radiation from the wireless ANT away from the Ethernet cables for WAN, and two switches connections. I just re-did the above a few hours ago. This is as thick as I can find to cover up the Ethernet cables using 5/8 heater hose used on cars. Without the above looking at 10% reduction with the above 10% increase with the wireless. Now I have to run more test to see how the rest of the wired connections go.. So far so good..

Heater hose is not going to shield much RF energy. You should run the cables down behind or in front of the router instead of up between the antennas. You could shield them with metallic braid. As high up as you have that router, you could even turn it upside down and let the antennas hang down and still have good results.

I use a Linksys WRT54G with a WEP key, but I installed a 3rd party firmware on it. Cant remember which on it was though, might have been DD-WRT but that sounds wrong. Anyways, I kept having issues with bit torrents crashing my router if I had to many connections (one particular weekly torrent with 2k+ seeders 
). Something about Linksys routers trying to remember all the IP's you have connected to or something like that. But changed out the firmware, works great.
I have it in a rather bad place for wireless though, its behind my tv in a jumble of cords, but i never use the wireless on it, use hardwired for my 2 desktops and laptop. But few times people have had laptops at my house and used wireless, it worked great for them so it works.

I've tested it that way and the way I have it now.. Signal strength % is better the way I have it now. 100% where the router is basement - 75% first main floor - 65% on second floor.
200FT 360 degree radius using wireless laptop showing outside very good, some spots had shown Excellent. That's what the above image. The Rubber above is very thick.
Another way of mounting all of this is to use a block drop so that router is push off the wall. The Drill hole for WAN, LAN 1, 2., 3, 4 ports loop those down in a block drop where the use of Ultra flat Ethernet cable could be use in place of the current default.

Best build a system to use as P2P only that can also have a tight security software on it. Then you'll be all set. That's what I do. Bad to run everything on one system you use for personal and daily stuff.
