    I recently bought a AAO with XP. I've got the latest bios and wi-fi card drivers.

    The AAO's slow download speeds (including high ping) persist when under AC power or battery, but I've turned off power management (and QoS) as suggested in this forum. When viewing streaming videos, the videos are choppy. The macbook is blazing fast and does not have the high ping either.
    I'm using a Apple Airport Extreme wireless router on an unsecured network.

    UPDATE: I've installed the Atheros Client Utility and it appears we are only connecting at "b" and not "g". Is there any way to force it to "g"?
