Maybe because the encryption on the upload happens in the computer? The
decryption would happen at the router though, but maybe it is a simpler
algorithm?

I really don't know, these are guesses. I do know when I went to a
newer type of router, my speed more than doubled.

whats your point? wired is *always* way faster than wireless, and check your
math/abbreviations.... (5000 kbps = 5 million/mega bits per second, if in
fact that number is correct, thats about what 802.11 B does, i'd suspect you
have something set to force it to B mode instead of b/g or g)
