Default Wireless Speed Problem

Hi there. Well, as I am new to the Wireless Connectivity Community, I have had my problems last month, but now all is hunkydory.
I am with Irish Broadband, Breeze. This wireless internet comes from a satelite dish on your chimney and connects via Ethanet to your desktop or router. Now my new laptop came with a built in wireless connectivity card. When I rang Irish Braodband for advice, they were extremely helpful. Explained what I needed to do and how to connet the router with with their product. Unfortunately, I went to Dixons, STAY WELL AWAY FROM THEM, UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING!!! . They sold me a router Lynxscys for €120 and it didn't work. Between IBB and tech support for the router, the problem of not being able to see a web page on either laptop or desktop had them all baffeled. Anyway, I found a great Computer Shop in Tallaght, they were sooooo helpful. Told be to return the router to Dixons and get their SWEEX for €50. Got a wireless connectivity card put into the desktop and I have more or less same connectivity speed on both. But the distance between the laptop to the router does make a diffence, but I have still been able to download the games, morning, noon and night, without loss.

Maybe there is a router problem for some of you and maybe your ISP must be changed, too. I coudn't be happier.
