Have you tried your wife's laptop in your office? If it crawls, the problem is some kind of interference. What is the signal strength? You can also bypass the router and connect directly and check. "Slow" connections are typically caused by drop packets by something failing (outside your house). You can check that by using the ping command (e.g. ping -n 10 some-website.com). If you get request timed out - packets are getting dropped. BTW - you can have strong signal strength and still have dropped packets.

Good luck
