    Lately, I've been experiencing very sluggish wifi performance in Windows XP. I dualboot with Vista 64 and it works perfectly in Vista. But in XP, it seems I have to wait like 30 sec - 1.5 mins for every webpage to load. I've updated to the latest driver (HP says they released it Feb 08 but when I update the driver, the driver date is Feb 07???)

    I've tried disconnecting from my router and then connecting again, but no luck. Is there something I'm missing?

    Somewhat of a long shot here, but have you run the typical spyware and virus scans? Check your firewall to see where the connection speed is going. Do you know when this problem started? Are you sure you installed the right drivers? HP does have a few different ones.
