I am having some odd wireless internent issues that I am hoping you guys can help me resolve.

Here is what's happening...

My house has wireless internet from a Linksys WRT54G. I use this wireless access to get internet in my bedroom. For a while I used a Belkin PCI card in my desktop PC and it worked great. I then broke it while moving the computer, so I replaced it with a Linksys PCI card (model number can be provided if neccesary).

The access I am getting on my desktop is painfully slow, almost unusable. I am able to use my Dell 700m which sits a whole 3 inches from my desktop at very good speeds.

Now, I do not remember if the Linksys ever worked good. I cannot remember if my speeds starting sucking at the same time I changed PCI cards, or shortly there after. I would really like to have my desktop running at fulls speeds, and ideas guys?

Things to note:
The internet connect bubble reads "low" 18mbps and other various low speeds.
The internet kicks off randomly and then automatically reconnects.

Thanks for reading guys.
 
check firmware, drivers, and like cesium666 said make sure the wireless card sits very snuggly into a slot.
