Just had the rogers express internet installed last week (25Mbps/2Mpbs), and it comes with their own modem/router.

I get the full 25Mbps when connected directly via ethernet cable, but the problem is when connected via wifi, I am only getting 5-7Mbps. This is the same on my PC, laptop, iphone, playbook..etc

Is this normal? I thought wireless N is much faster than 5-7Mbps??
What is actually limiting my wifi speed to only 5-7Mbps?
Is the slow speed because of rogers own modem/router?
Will it help if I buy a new router and connect it to rogers modem/router and connect all my other device to the new router instead?
