Get this I manually changed the DNS server under TCP/IP and raised the speed to 4.3Mbps. I don't remember where I got the numbers for the DNS server as I wasn't sure what numbers to use.  I got them off the INTERNET somewhere.  But I did not know that I would not get speeds as fast as wired.  I still thought that the Internet connection was the bottleneck and that my wireless connection was still fast enough to be at top connection speed.

Thanks, I will look into your advise.

I built a new computer and now my download is slower.  Same usb wirless adapter. My upload is higher than the avg. verizon user.  If i connect the same computer directly to the router then my download connection is back up to 5.2 Mbps. What could be wrong? Please help! I can take the wireless adapter to another pc and get better results. Have replaced the mb in this pc. This is a fresh install of XP pro with sp1a.
