Oh yeah!!!!
I needed a USB 3 PCI card (that worked) and a spare wireless NIC for my work "Go Kit" so I decided to upgrade my current wireless NIC and use the current one as the spare. That meant getting a new USB 3 PCI card (the previous one from Rocketfish never worked). So, since I also had an old OS hard drive failing, I replaced everything tonight and gave the box a good canned air cleaning. Needless to say, I'm pretty happy with the results (ok, maybe not the ping, but that was part of the problem - my home office is a long ways away from the router).  Before (old NIC in a USB 2 slot)...  After (new NIC in a USB 3 slot)!

Nice, but is that wireless from over 45 feet away from the router James?

my frontier dsl internet is ping 36ms DL 5.01 UL 0.55
Midco cable is ping 20ms DL 48.53 UL 7.72
Must be doing something wrong?

The only ping that will be at all affected by the distance from your computer to the router will be to ping the router itself. That should only take a negligible period if you were miles away. Open a command prompt and type "ping [your router address, typically 192.168.0.1]" Ping will only report < 1ms, but again that has nothing to do with the distance. The travel time for a signal in copper is astonishingly fast, and fiberoptic even faster compared to the processing time in intermediate hosts. That speed is the rate of transmission of the electrical wave in copper, approximately 2/3 the speed of light (or ~200,000 meters/sec), and is orders of magnitude faster than an electron will travel through the wire. Light in fiber optic cable travels about 200 million meters/second. The speed of transmission in a wireless signal approaches the speed of light in air or close to 300 million meters/second. The ping you are getting with a speed test is the travel time to and from the server that is hosting the speed test over the internet. The most important factor there is the number of hops required to get to that distant server and back. Every computer along the path has to process the data that is the ping and forward it on, and that is the source of the delay. There may also be dumb repeaters along the way that act like fast processors, but nontheless introduce delays orders of magnitudes greater than the signal speed. In a wireless router transmission, the protocol will require that any errors be re-sent. To the extent that a weak signal may be related to distance in a noisy or obstructed environment, and to multiple data transmission errors and re-sends there may be a measurable difference. But if you have a good signal the distance is irrelevant.

That I know, maybe you meant to answer Passive Draft's question instead? I was referring to his up & down speeds. Hmm... I should see what I get directly connected...

But, then there came a week without enough road kill, so you ate the string, right?

Portland/Vancouver has Crumcast. There will never be a chance to have anything else, specially when even things like wireless services, have not taken a good hold in Portland/Vancouver as yet. And DSL ... you already know the answer to that one!

Yup...I do well to get 20mbps download. And I'm grateful for that. Used to be 4mbps. Sheesh.
