I have a wireless network set up in my home - cable modem, router hooked into my XP machine, wireless printer. It all works great, EXCEPT for a laptop running Windows Home Premium 64-bit OS. It connects to the network, shows a excellent connection, but the speeds are extremely slow (0.5 mbps laptop - 8-10 mbps on the desktop). Can anyone suggest anything I might be able to do to get an equivalent connection speed on the laptop?1 person needs an answerI do too
