hello all

well i have a pain in the bum problem. I have a media PC where i play games and watch movies, prior to moving I had all my machines connected via cable, now i have wifi. I was expecting slower speeds, but even with full signal strength, i max out at 1mb/s!

this is with or without encryption using any mixture of the 3 pc's in this place

the living area is open plan, so the signals from the router is always at least 4 bars. all say connected at 54Mbps so i was hoping to get at least 5mb/s or something

any ideas?? the router is a aol (reason i went with them!) SpeedTouch ST585v6 and this laptop has its own intel wifi and the other 2 machines use buffalo airstation 54g usb....
