Behind you... Naked!
I am using a WPC11-PCMCIA Adapter in a Lappy
My router is a WAG354G v2. Both Linksys

The Router is a replacement cos a couple of weeks ago, my v1 WAG354 got burned by a storm.

Now, the WPC11 is only 11MB so I dont expect hyper speeds, but what I am getting are far from the expected speeds...

When on the internet, I have tried to download some files, but I was getting 7K

I decided to use a real PC and then copy it from the PC to the LapTop, but again, it was uber-slow... As an example, WinAmp is what just shy of 6MB, but it took about 10 minutes to copy over??

Its the same across the board.

I used an Ethernet cable to do all the driver updates and the Windows updates and I had hoped that there would be a cure in there somewhere but no!

I then put a wireless adapter onto a Desktop PC and got that connected, and thats a fairly respectable speed, so perhaps the router is setup ok, and the Linksys PCMCIA adapter is not?

I then tried the adapter in my daughters LapTop and its fine there, using the very same drivers that I used in mine.

So, it MUST be some config issue in my LapTop surely, but what? - I have not touched anything.

Anyone willing to offer anything I can go on please?
