severe problems with my wireless router, help requested

hi
my wireless N router has not been able to do wireless networking for
days now, even though the light on the front says wireless is working. i
used to be able to use a wpc300n laptop wireless adapter in my home but
now i can't. how do i fix it and make it stay fixed? my wireless router
is a wrt150n.

second problem: when the internet was working the wireless router
refused to download anything to my wireless adapter at faster than 20
kilobytes /sec, how can i raise it to the full advertised speed?

thanks

1. Turn off all security (hardware defaults).
2. Place the wireless client about 6 feet away.
3. See if you can connect.
4. Restore security, preferably WPA with a strong passphrase.

Hard to say. Try it 6 feet away to see if that makes a difference.
Speed decreases with distance.
