Got a New Router, but computers that aren't connected via ethernet cable have lots of slow speeds.

I recently bought a new Router which is the WRT54GL. The main computers connected via Ethernet cable have no problem at all, but my Laptop experiences very high ping and low download speeds.

I never had this problem with my old router. On my old Router I could easily play a game on my Laptop with about 50-70 MS, but now it's a constant 250-300 MS. Is there any way I can fix this?

My ISP is Comcast.

What happens if you move the laptop right next to the router, is it still 250-300ms? If it drops down to 50-70ms, chances are you will have to find a new place to put the router or get a better one.
