Re: Desktop wireless slow, laptop fine?
said by acumanoz  :...my laptop connects at 36-54mbps but my desktop ranges from 1 to 18... So why did you leave out that tidbit from your first post?
Most laptops have superior built-in dual antennas with diversity that can deal with multipath. Most desktops have their one lousy antenna stuck behind a bunch of metal. Get a better antenna with a few feet of coax so that you can better locate it or get a USB adapter with a USB extension.
