Too dang slow! Help!

Did you try both, PC and MBL connected to the router with the wireless card disable on PC? It should not be slower than wireless. If you did, you got other problems, hard to tell. Either router issues or a bad MBL.

MBL has not wireless capabilities. Your router controls that part. Hence asking if you did a test as mentioned above. Just try to separate wired vs wireless to see where the issue is.
