Hey
I have NEVER used the dongle in the laptop, I have ALWAYS used the laptops wireless card which is built in.
I have ONLY used the dongle with my desktop.
I know that if I use a direct ethernet connection with either desktop or laptop will give me faster connection.
Basically all I get with wireless is 1.5MBps while I get 4MBps via ethernet. I think I should be able to get a faster connection via wireless. Even if I have the laptop right beside the router I will still get the same speed. I might eventually use ethernet on one of them, but I was just using both initially to test it out as I had a wireless usb dongle that I used to use in work occasionaly.
If I havent explained any of my current setup clear enough I apologise but it should all be clear now.
Regards
