Linksys support = shit.
Okay, so this is the second WRT54G (v6) I've had. I returned the first one because of this problem that I'm having, and clearly it's something in the settings. The firmware is the most up to date stuff on there. I'm using wireless channel 11. The beacon interval and RTS threshold settings have been adjusted as per Linksys support. The signal strength is excellent at 54Mbps. I do live in an apartment, but I've got WPA turned on. Also, I've got a cordless phone, but it's 5.4GHz.
HOWEVER when I go to http://www.speedtest.net, I'm getting like 3.5MB down and .3MB up. If I'm using a wired connection, it's 10MB down and 1.5MB up. That's what I'm paying for.
WTF? I don't know why I didn't just ask you guys first.
