OK - if changing channels doesn work, then check the mode. Make sure its not 802.11b when you need 802.11g (or vice versa).

Make sure the router is set for 108Mbps over wireless. Check and see what the fragmentation length setting is as well as the CTS/RTS thresholds. Mine are set to 2346 and 2347 respectively. See what the preamble mode is (if its there) - long or short - if possible set it to short. As long as this doesn't kill your connection, good.

Next - make sure the device isn't also selected to be used as a wireless repeater. Most wireless devices can - and it should not be turned on.

Some of these settings may not be availble on your device - if not don't sweat it.

However - with all this done - lets nor forget that the problem may not be the router - but your wireless reciever. What are the specs on it - could it be the bottleneck?
*Has it ever run "full speed" elsewhere?
