Right now I am subscribing to a DSL service with 3 mbps of download speed and 768 kbps of upload speed.  The service is okay but I may switch to cable in September that will have 10 mbps of download speed and 1 mbps of upload speed.  The question I have is alot of the computers in the house use wireless-G. Will the increase of the bandwidth allow all the computer to benefit from the cable package and increased speed or does the router and wireless cards keep them from having a increase of performance.  The router I use is your typical linksys(WRT54GS) the one with a speedbooster it works well no complaints.  I am not experienced too much about high-speed internet and would appreciate if anyone can answer my question. Here is the address to the router I am using http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833124136

Any computer on your wireless network should be able to max out your 10mbit Cable Connection. No issues there. Your best performance for gaming will always be over a cat5 though :)

Yes, the cable should be faster than DSL even though it's over you Wi-Fi.  I use a LinkSys router also.

 Thanks did not really know if it will max it out.  The direct connections are going to be in my room but the rest of the house can use the wireless. Good looking out was kind of confused.
