I have rogers hi speed light internet. I have two computers at home so i share the connection over a dlink 524 router. Computer 1 is connected straight to the router. and computer 2 is connected with a usb wireless adapter. On computer 1 the internet connection seems fine.. the pages load in a good time. However on computer 2 the pages take forever to load. It gets around 50-60% signal strength. The only thing that takes up internet usage on computer 1 is msn messenger and computer 2 still takes such a long time to load the pages. What can make it better?

both computers run xp, however computer 1 is newer and has more ram and space. while computer 2 has 10 gb space and im not sure how much ram. buts its an sort-of-old computer.

thanks
 
get a better wireless adapter or move the Computer 2 closer to the signal. I don't trust any of the booster antenna and prefer upgrading either the router or the USB adapter.
