Router With High Speed Internet

Hello, I have a Netgear WPN824 (version 1 not 2) wireless G router with
rangemax. However my computer gets poor signal for wireless so I have
it wired through ethernet. Here is my problem I pay for 30Mbps down and
2Mbps up but when I run speed tests my download tops out between 8-10
Mbps. A Direct connection with the computer solves the issue, so the
router must be the bottleneck right? Can't be the ethernet cable, or
the long distance between router and computer...

So how do I get my router to allow my full download bandwidth OR if
that option is impossible what router do you recommend (must have
wireless g) that would allow my full 30Mbps in?

Have you checked your NIC (ethernet) speed settings in each
circumstance? (once in a while the modem may negotiate 100mbps while
the router negotiates 10mbps)

I don't know how I would go about checking that. And even if I did, can
I change the settings so that the router also negotiates over 10Mbps?

I tell my NIC to always use 100baseT. (Windows XP SP1, control panel,
network connections, status)
