Hi

Just connected to a different wireless router while at my neighbors 
house. No Packet loss.

Looks like my wireless router is at fault. What to do?

I am on dialup. The topography is as follows:

Laptop -> Linksys wireless router -> DLink router -> USR external MODEM 
-> phone line
                                /\
Desktop computer /\ (via cable)

Both routers are set for DHCP could that slow things down? They have 
been set that way for years. I have only recently began to have problem 
downloading.

Both routers are set to DHCP
