Make sure you haven't accidentally turned on the "power save" feature
of the wireless adapter. It might even be turned on by default.

If you're using the Lenovo "Access Connections" utility, it's a
parameter of your wireless profile, and the way it's named is
confusing (well, it confused me anyway); the "High" setting is for
"high power saving" which translates into low wireless performance.

When my adapter is operating in that mode, I get poor performance
over a distance of only 10 feet.
