I use my wireless router at home with the airport. How do you know what your actual signal is, just those curved bars up there?
Seems like my internet connection is much slower than my desktop pc that is plugge dinto the router, I use my macbook on the sam desk.

I suggest downloading MenuMeters from Versiontracker.com. I use them to keep an eye on my net connections.
