How can I speed up my wireless internet on my Linksy's router with my new HP laptop?

Question

I am using a Linksy's wireless-b broadband router and I have recently bought a gateway which had read an excellent connection with the router but didn't have any speed. I then exchanged the computer and bought an HP(much nicer computer), but when I got it home I had the same problem. I would have assumed it was my router except my father has a newer gateway computer running vista like the ones I bought and his connection is superb. There isn't any interference problems between the laptops or my other wireless devices as I have tested them thurely. I want to know if there are any settings I can change to speed my connection or if it is necessary to buy a newer wireless router. note: my father's Gateway is running an intel pentium dual core processor and I am running an AMD Turion on my HP and my Gateway was running a Centrino. (even though it shouldn't matter)

Answer 1

the fastest speed you could get from a wireless b router is 11mbps... that is the top, if you are trying to use more than one comptuer try to upgrade your router for a 802.11 G and that should do the trick

Answer 2

Upgrade to G Mimo.
