If You Can Connect, But the Network Is Slow
Check whether you might be in an area served by more than
one wireless LAN. If so, the LANs could be interfering with
each other.
Move closer to the access point (for an infrastructure
connection) or other wireless notebook (for an Ad Hoc
connection). You could be too far away for high-speed
communication.
