I connect directly to the wireless router and I get 15+ MB/s I connect wirelessly and I get .5 MB/sec. It is a brand new Cisco/Linksys Wireless N router.
Every computer/tablet in my house is drawing the same speed.
When I had a similar issue, if found out that there are updates for routers, it was news to me. Mine hadn't been updated in 6 years. I get your's is new, as in, just bought, but maybe it has an older operating program?

4. ???
5. Post pics
6. Enjoy 'after glow', and supervisor's crys while surfing internet at blazing fast speeds.
What speed does the client say it's connecting at? What if you change the type of security? You could try eliminating the security altogether and then test. Then try a different encryption. Bluetooth can interfere with the 2.4Gz band.
Perhaps your intial account download limit is .5kb/sec. It's possible. If you experience increased speed using a computer that id directly connected to the modem, then the issue is with your router.
connect the pc straight to the modem run a speed test if it is still no high speed then it is an issue with the cable compamy, and alot of cable companys offer free wifi or a small monthly fee like $2 or $3 for there router.... worst case just buy a new one sometimes they just starty to slow down and not function properly for no reason exept there just burnt out
That said, I had a break from work where I wouldn't need the net and did a hard reset and then re-set up the router. Seems to be fine now with 20-30MB/sec downloads like it should have had.
Edit: Well fuck, that didn't last long. Back down under 2.
Edit: It appears my wireless security cameras are interfering with it somehow. They are not even on this network. I turn them off and all my speed comes back.
Edit 2: moved the receiver for the camera's upstairs, seems fine now, WTF.
changing a single channel will make no difference, you need to skip more than 2 channels with 2.4 ghz 802.11 bs, otherwise the communication's overlap (think of a dozen people yelling in a room at the same time, and trying to listen to 1 person).
