If the router is not on the most recent firmware upgrade the firmware.

Sabretooth,

Thanks for this. It seems to have done the trick. As soon as I reset all the router settings, my wife's Macbook maintained an optimal speed, and I was able to connect to XBox Live without a problem. The connection seems weak, but I feel that's mostly due to the XBox 360's built-in wireless, which honestly I've always felt to be rather meh. I think I'll be investing in the wireless booster for it. The PS3 is always very good when it's connected.

Thanks, everyone...for all the help and advice. Very much appreciated. I know it can be irritating to put up with someone who's clueless and asking dumb questions, so your patience with me was awesome.
