Good idea. But, it showed no difference. It took about 5 minutes to connect (well, the wireless signal connected relatively quickly, but then it took a while "Acquiring network address"). Then when it connected, the internet was slow (though we were able to load a bandwidth test that said it had full bandwidth). For example, when we loaded icanhascheezburger.com on two separate computers simultaneously, the laptop took about 2 minutes to load, didn't finish and then lost connection, while the wired PC loaded the page in 10 seconds or so.

Anyway, looks like it isn't an encryption issue...
