bringing my old thread back to life.

i finally got a WRT54GL:

http://ncix.com/products/?sku=17408&...s&promoid=1081

i've done the basic install. i'm using it attached to a desktop PC and running wireless to an acer 3600 revo upstairs. username/password has been set, and firmware has been updated. i'm getting a 3-bar signal out of 5.

my problem is that i'm getting a very slow internet connection.

dell desktop PC: wired, windows xp
download speed 1.91 Mb/s
upload speed 10.96Mb/s
ping 120ms

acer revo: wireless, windows vista
download speed 0.38Mb/s
upload speed 0.55Mb/s
ping 73ms

what am i doing wrong?

someone suggested that i have too many firewalls? the router has one, and the wireless computer with vista has a firewall as well... i haven't networked both computers together.
