This was in another room with the QoS on the d-link off.

At least I seem to be getting a constant reading now. I just don't understand why I was only getting a little less than this when I was on 50meg and even hit 50 meg over wireless on occasion, yet I now never get above 50 over wireless and as seen earlier I have, quite regularly get a lot less. It's almost like I have a cap my wifi connections.
