Slow connection

I have been experiencing slow internet connection lately
on my laptop. My strength is still high and I have a g
card and basestation. The further I get from the hub,
the weaker my connection is. The weird thing is I have
gotten much quicker connection in the past. Please help.

What have you tried? You could change channels, raise or lower your base
station and make sure it is away from walls and any electrical devices such
as your monitor, speakers, etc. There is no mention of distances in your
post, but the signal does diminish the farther you are from the router.

I have not tried those items. The base is close to
electical, walls, etc. The weird thing is that it always
has been set up like this.

Assuming you're on DSL, have you unplugged the DSL modem for a minute or two
to reset it? When you do that, also unplug the base station and let the
modem sync up with your service provider, then plug the base station back
in. There are various tricks like the height of the base station, moving it
away from walls, etc., that we each need to try individually because each of
our setups is different. If you're on the default Channel 6, for instance,
try using either 1 or 11 and see if there's a difference. Remember, you
need to change the channel on all computers on your LAN.
