I am not sure if this is the right forum, so if it isnt please point me in the right direction.
I have a wireless network in my house. Upstairs I have one PC, and a cable modem wired into a netgear router. Downstairs I have another PC connected with a USB wireless card and I have a Dell Inspiron 5100 with built in TM1300 wireless card. On the PC that is wired to the router, I get about a 2.5 MB/sec connection. On the two wireless connections I get somwhere between 100 and 400 KB connection. This is very frustrating because I do the majority of my work from my laptop. All OS's are XP pro. Any help would be appreciated.
 
check for interfering equipment, try different channels, check the hardware configuration on the clients (I know Belkin set their .11g cards to a default of 11MBps instead of 54MBps).

You can find more (better!) advice from forum730.

sorry to be brief, wireless isn't really my realm...
