This is on a broadband connection where the other computers on my network are downloading at 2000Kb/s. I don't know what is causing the slower speed, but hope the new browser will help.

What wireless AP/router are you using? That might be the culprit.

I also use WCF12. When I first started with D-link, the link was not only slooooow, but very sporadic. Then I got Netgear MR814v2. Wow... connection all the time and 600~800kb/s throughput. Still far slower than advertised Wi-Fi 11Mb/s speed, but plenty good for web surfing (my cable modem gets up to 2Mb/s).
