Wireless from 54mbps to 1mbps
I've just changed ISP recently to 20/20 mbit and bought a Linksys WRT610N router to hook up my laptops wireless.

I've tried the following:
I'm not the most experienced when it comes to setting up network, so please bear with me ;)
Any input on this problem will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,

It might be worth checking that you have the latest drivers for that laptop's wireless adaptor. It could be a bug in the firmware that causes it not to be able to retrain up to a higher speed after it has dipped down due to temporary interference, which updated drivers/firmware may resolve.
