So .101 is the laptop. Which is the wired desktop?
Do you have TWO desktops?

TomsNetworking got about 75 Mbits/sec thruput on a simulator with the
WRT-300N:

Which is the desktop. .100 or .102 ? Do you have two desktops?

Did you measure the direct connect speed? See my results I just
posted.

Muddle? The router is suppose to have a fixed IP address and assign
IP's to the clients. What has a different IP address? I can't tell
from your statement.

Sorry to be a pest, but I'm lost with 3 IP addresses and no clue what
address belongs to what device. You also seem to have one extra
device.

That's all wrong. Turning off 802.11b compatibility should improve
the speed, not reduce it. No clue why, but my guess is that you have
some kind of setup, config, or wiring problem.
