Here is the $64M question. What do you want the laptop to do, which it curre=
ntly can=E2=80=99t?
The laptop specs call out 802.11b/g/n wireless. The data rates you note seem=
like they are in family with what you=E2=80=99d expect, at least to my eye.=
=20
Alternatively, can you connect the laptop to the box in the shop via Etherne=
t?
Regards,
Tom Coradeschi
