OK,

One more thing to make sure of signal strength? Poor signal stregth (normally two bars or below, depending on the wireless hardware), can cause packet loss, which means that it will take longer for your pages to appear. 3 bars is generally ok, but should ideally be 4 bars of above IMO. It doesn't take much, sometimes the router just being a couple of centimeters out of place could be the difference between a bar or two, extra furnature etc. Also, if you go to Start, Run and type in cmd. In the command window, type in ping 192.168.0.1 -t (or the address of your router) which will show if you get a response from your router, or if the "Request timed out". Monitor this for a few minutes to make sure you receive a constant reply from the router. If your requests are being timed out, then your issues are the result of connectivity to your router.

If it's local settings on the laptop, one way which may rule this out is by trying another computer or laptop from work or from a friend. Or you can create a new account in Control Panel > User Accounts. Logon with your new account and see if you still experience slow connectivity.

EDIT: Marked as Answered.
