Thanks for the advice. Changing the the wireless channel and moving the box off the large metallic object it was sitting on, both seem to have improved the speed quite a bit.

Last time I switched channels the speed boost was only temporary, but there are probably 20 reasonably strong wifi signals available to my laptop, so it's quite possible that there are a few of us trying to find free channels, and my neighbours are switching theirs over time...

Hopefully channel swapping will keep the speed up until my Linksys arrives, but I'll certainly be a little more careful of router placement, as well as keeping my wireless phone away.

Thanks again,
LJ
