In my router's admin panel I see three options for connection speed:

  1. Up to 54 Mbps

  2. Up to 65 Mbps

  3. Up to 150 Mbps

Which option should I choose. What's the benefit (if any) of choosing a slower speed?

    Read about the different a/b/g/n/... standards here (speeds, interference with neighbouring networks and so on).

Best guess:

Up to 54Mb/sec:
This is the speed mostly used for wireless B and G networks.
If you have devices which only have Wireless B and G (and not N) then select this.
If you have two routers and want one to do wireless-N and one wireless-G,L then also select this. (and select wireless N on the other router)

Up to 65 Mbps
Never had or 65. Some sort of custom thing?
Update from a comment: 2.4GHz wide band.

Up to 150 Mbps
That seems to be 1 way wireless N in the 5GHz band. That band is preferred since it is both faster and there are more bands at 5Ghz, which avoids problems with other access points. (Read: If you and your neighbours all use the 2.4GHz band for G or B then you are jamming each other.)

  • 65 Mbps is what you get with a 20 MHz channel for MCS 7.
