    What Kind of security do you have with regards your wireless connection. This may be the cause of the slowness.

    WEP kills your connecting when encryption takes place depening on the encryption rate. WPA is a whole lot better and safer.

    Let us know.

    I dont have WEP enabled, im using mac filters.
    The really strange thing is the comp is showing up to 54mps on the connection speed but yet its taking AGES to open up a simple webpage...eg google.

    :confused:
