Help with wireless speeds?

Could be any number of things:

-Wireless distance and interferance lowering your speed (move computer closer, see if speed improves, turn off anything that might be generating EMI)
-Speed setting has been set to a lower rate on the router (check the firmware settings via the web interface)
-Speed setting on the card in your computer has been set to a lower rate (check the card speed settings via the control pannel, the systray icon in the lower right corner of the screen if present, or card software)
-Your computer is using an 802.11b card - which maxes out at 11Mbps. (upgrade the card)
-Card in the computer has been set to operate on 802.11b (check card settings per speed setting above)
-The router has been set to broadcast 802.11b only (check firmware settings via web interface)
-The moon is blue, it's Tuesday, and it's raining in Chicago, so sacrifice a rubber chicken over the computer while dancing the polka and singing the Ren & Stimpy "Happy Happy Joy Joy" lyrics to the beat of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida.
