My place is set up for wireless Internet. Until recently I was using a direct line into my router and wireless only when I roamed (i.e. worked someplace besides my desk). I moved my office around a bit, and now have gone totally wireless but seem to be having problems.

When I first log in, I get Excellent as my connection - 54 Mbps. After about 2 minutes I drop down to ~2 Mbps and there I stay.

The router is netgear and the laptop is a Compaq with a built in wifi card, probably not netgear.

Oh yeah, my laptop is 40' from the router now - a couple of walls in the way but that didn't interfere before.

Ideas? Suggestions?

Merci,
