What Internet provider do you use and what speed?

Does using a wireless system slow down the speed?  That is what my internet provider told me.  They said I needed a direct wire to get the full speed instead of wifi.

In general, not significantly.  But slightly, yes.  If you do a speed test while on wifi, ie on speedtest.net, the speed being measured is between your laptop per say and your router.  If you do a speed test connected by CAT5, that is the speed at the modem.  You really should test both to see the difference.  The provider would be responsible if the speed at the modem is below what you ordered. Cuz everything starts from there.

But wifi will register slightly less.  If you are ordering 20 meg per say, 18 meg on wifi is probably acceptable.
