No. If anything a good 54mbps wireless setup would be more reliable than a shoddy 11mpbs setup, not faster when browsing the internet.

The time you would really see a 54mbps wireless connection shine is when you have 2 computers on a network and you are transferring a large amount of data.

Well, uh, theres... uh.. Getting a faster internet service from your provider.

If your not connected to a network, you wont see the numbers 11 or 54, because you wouldn't be using wireless (your connection would be disconnected). I'm not quite sure where that question comes from. (1pc, a wireless router, and an internet connection is still a network, just not really seen as one.)

The point is, your "connection speed" increases because you are connected at a higher speed, however, you are connected to your network, not to the internet. Your internet connection may still be 4mbps or whatever you get from your ISP.
