What the icon in the system tray, etc. says is not real thruput, it is one of the 12 allowed transmission rates it, and the AP have been able to agree upon based on signal quality etc.. 14-15Mb appears to be real throughput of a mixed B/G net vs. 5-6Mb for pure B, and 20-24Mb for pure G.

Don't beleive those numbers, try an FTP between your wireless, and a wired machine on the same router. It should give you somewhat useful statistics.

Remeber, Mb is Megabits, not MegaBytes.
