I believe it to be your router and laptop. You could try a few things, if your in an area where you don't have to worry about encryption as much, you could change your encryption from 128bit to 64bit. You could also adjust the Firewall setting within your router to put your Laptop in a DMZ (demilitarized zone kinda), this will put your laptop outside of the firewall and makes it vulnerable to malicious incoming requests. As far as your laptop goes, making sure you don't have a bunch of programs requesting to use the network all the time is a key factor. You can run Sandra by SiSoftware and do network tests to see what could be slowing you down and it can tell you what you can turn off to optimize. Defrag, even if it says you don't have to. Most importantly, read up on setting up you Pagefile correctly so you are using your memory to it's full potential and not paging to much info when Fiesta is using 900megs D: .
In the end, it could just be that 54mbs isn't fast enough. It's not for me.
