So if you had an internet connection much over 20Mbs you would not get the full speed to your wifi connected PC. You would need to be on a draft n router (and suitably enabled PC) to make use of your 50Mps.
I am sure someone will go and google for the speed stats, I am just repeated what the Cisco trainer explained to me when I did a Cisco training course a few months ago. His opinion or wireless was a bit like mine - its ok if you can't wire the network properly but is very useful for laptops.

Well I haven't a clue what all the info above is all about Neil, WEP and WPA/2 are all over my head, I only know that when I press the on button my laptop comes alive
. The thing is I'm to computer tecknowledgey as Bernard Manning was to Hang Gliding
