Internet connection slow all of the sudden

[ballzan]

We have a linkys wireless n router and my laptop has a n card. We have the fastest connection possible from mediacom. Out of no where the connection on my laptop has been very slow, I still have a full signal its just slow. The connection on the pc that we have the modem hooked up to that is wired is just like normal though. We have had the router since Christmas and it has worked fine up till now. What could the problem be and how could we fix this??

It didnt work done it on both pcs. The computer that we have the router hooked up to the internet runs fast at 400mps but my laptops only goes 54mps. And when I have my laptop connected the computer that I have the router connected to its internet starts going slow but only when my laptop is connected to the internet, then they are both slow any solutions? And I use firefox but Ie dont work fast either.

#1 wireless is always slower than wired, and when u go through his computer u are giving that one connection a bunch more to do so everyone gets slower.
