Any WI-FI home networking experts?

Dumb question: If I share my DSL via a Linksys broadband router (812-G), will d/l and u/l speeds between my two computers sharing the DSL be equal to the max speeds available from my connection, or will the speeds to each be lowered?

1. connection speed rules all

they will fight each other for bandwidth, but for normal surfing you will be fine

2. Spring for an "N" model router. It is worth it. n/t

3. Think of your connection as one pipe -

Anything connected to that pipe is sharing the total output - so for example, if you're downloading a HUGE file on one computer but not using the second one the computer you're using will download at the maximum capacity. If you have two computers BOTH downloading a HUGE file they will be sharing the total amount of bandwidth - each getting approximately 50% of the total.
