Slow Internet

I am running out of solutions, so I thought I'd give this a go.

CONNECTION: Shaw 50Mbps/3Mbps

AP: Linksys E4200 DDWRT (N-ONLY)
AP: (OFF): Shaw WiFi Modem (G/N Mixed)

DEVICE: Desktop PC (Patriot WI-FI USB Wireless LAN Adapter IEEE 802.11 B/G/N 300Mbps Compatible With Patriot PBO Alpine)
DEVICE: Samsung Galaxy S2 T989D

Both AP's are at the same location. Shaw WiFi modem is off, but I use it to benchmark. On my Galaxy S2, I am getting 35Mbps/3Mbps off of the E4200 at the same location of my desktop that I am getting 5Mbps/3Mbps. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the WiFi USB drivers on my PC, but that's not working.

I know it's not my router issue, nor is it a connection issue. Seeing that my Galaxy S2 is getting great speeds. Any help would be appreciate it.

win7?

I've had driver issues for a built in wifi card that caused really slow speeds and would randomly stop file downloads etc. I ended up fixing it by uninstalling the OEM driver and letting windows use its own default driver.

what connection strength is windows reporting?

Not sure if you forgot to the include this info, but did you test the speed with your desktop on the Shaw WiFi AP instead?
