Wierd wireless connectivity issue. I have my laptop and my desktop side by side. the laptop is getting 130 mbps, the desktop is getting 2 mbps at best. Ive tried updating the wireless network adapter driver, reinstalling the driver, reinstalling the actual adapter and installing it into a different PCI slot. When I ping the default gateway from my desktop the latency is huge (1500-3000 ms) but i have no idea why. Everything was working fine last week and I'm out of ideas.

Since posting this I have moved my desktop to be right beside the modem/router. Speed through ethernet is ok but even from 2 feet away im only getting 2 mbps over wifi.
