Bridging vs. access point

Dear All,

 

I have the possibility to change the old ADSL contract (around 15mb) where I presently use my netgear DG834g V3.

I have a FIX IP contract and a VPN settled and working fine.

I have to move and my provider states that I can easily pass to a 60mb ADSL for more or less the same price.

In this case I will get a special provider router that I can set in Bridge mode and then connect my old (but perfectly working) netgear.

My doubt is:

if I connect a bridged 60mb provider router to my netgear DG834g V3, the data speed will be limited to the 18-20 or 24bm of the Netgear or the router will work at a higher speed like an ethernet switch?

The DG834g V3 has 100 Mbps Ethernet ports, so wired connections should be able to reach the higher speeds.  OTOH, it only supports 802.11g Wi-Fi.  The best you can hope to achieve with it is around 22 Mbps to 24 Mbps.
