In the last week I am seeing painfully slow page loading times while browsing the net. I have a dell dimension xps t600r with 768 megs ram, win xp home, ie, and am using a wireless usb adapter from lynksis with a lynksis router. I tried unistalling xp sp2, becaues I just added it recently, didn't do anything, and today I downloaded mozilla, and its marginally better, if at all. My signal strength is great 11mps, but my computer is acting like is dailing up with a 14k modem. I've run disk cleanup, and defraged a few times. what's going on? what can I do?

Do you have any devices that operate at 2.4 Ghz or above in the area of your access point for your computer?
If so that may be causing the slowdown problem. Just a thought.

the cordless phone is 2.4ghz, but I unplugged it and its still slow as dirt. I've had the phone since august, and the computer has been really slow for about a week.
