Another possibility, then, is to see if there is an upgrade for your router firmware. As an extension to this, at least one user recently discovered that he had a very slow connection until he reset the router after a firmware upgrade.

Also, make sure you've disabled any 'enhanced' (108MHz) features on your router.

If there are other wireless networks in the area, make sure you are using a channel that is distinct from the closest. It may be worth trying a different channel from the current, anyway. There could be other interferences that you would see on a network list. Generally, you want to keep it on 1, 6 or 11 since all other channels overlap these three to some extent.

I will say this regarding WM5. While the wireless signal seems much weaker on my X51v than I was seeing with various CF cards (Symbol, SMC and Ambicom) on older devices, the connection seems faster than WM03 devices (3 to 5 seconds to load pages like the main page or a list of new posts here at Aximsite). One interesting aside, I tried Opera for mobile and found it much slower than PIE.
