Internet connection is a result of the new Wireless N router UPNP
setttings. If the router has UPNP turned on, Windows will automatic
detect it and create the Internet Connection icon. It would be used
to control the router's settings but most of the router I use, this
icon is useless.

So, is the 13 Mbps as good as it gets?
Is there a way of using the faster speed?

Should the UPNP be disabled/reset?

Thanks,
