buy better antenna's (stock usually is 4 DB, 15 bucks get's you 6-8 DB omnidirectional ones)
maybe consider getting an antenna extension cable so you can position it better on both pc and router
make sure you don't sit inbetween 2 antenna's, human=water, water is bad for wifi signal
last but not least, make sure no neighbour is downloading kiddy pr0n via your wireless... lock. it. down.

I'm familiar with the need for security. However, this slow speed is all the time. Unless the pedophile is 24/7.
One other thing, the FIOS installer told me that this type of system is very secure as it is. Must be somewhat true, I can't get into the thing to change any settings and if I could, I wouldn't know what "upnp" is. I do have a 3 ft extension on the USB and I move is around to see if i can catch a better signal. No difference.
I understand that fiber optic is just like DSL, lots of users makes it slow. Must be all of Long Beach on my system.
