How do you speed up a wireless internet connection?
I have a Dell Inspiron 1705 with a Linksys Wireless WRT54G router. I got the infamous facebook virus a few months ago and was able to clean it up (I think) but since then my connection has been slow. Browsing is ok, but downloading an album on iTunes takes over an hour. Previously it took 10-15 minutes. Any ideas what to look for, and how to fix it?
