You can test your speed here: http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/  With
cable you should have 20-30mbps, depending on your package.

I suggest a dual band router, either the new "AC" standard or the previous
"N".  My speed is 35mbps on a wired connection.  With my previous "B/G"
standard router I would get ~6mbps on wireless devices (phones, laptops).
Now with the Asus dual band N router I get 28mbps on wireless devices,
definitely worth the upgrade.

My Tivos use the wireless as well, but I will probably be hard wiring them,
as there is occasional stuttering if you stream an HD program from one to
the other.
