Samsung Galaxy Tab WiFi Help?

I have an 802.11 b/g router AP set to g in my home network. I have my laptop and Samsung Omnia run WiFi through my Home AP and have no problem with the speed. I have connected my Galaxy Tab to my Home AP and it can acquire IP and can change IPs when I connect and re-connect. Even only Galaxy Tab is connected on my Home AP I get a very slow speed of 4 kbps out of 786kbps of my DSL.

I have successfully connected to my neighbor's open network WiFi AP and it was so much faster at about 256 kbps. I thought perhaps the WPA security is messing my speed so I disabled it, but still the speed I am getting is the same. Signal strength of my Home AP is higher than my neighbor's. I tried setting the channel from Auto to specific but still the speed did not improve.

Can anyone help?

Update:

@Jexter: My problem is not with my Laptop or Mobile phone. It is with my Galaxy Tab. The speed I am getting with my Galaxy Tablet is slow. Also there is no way to connect the Tablet directly to the DSL Modem.

    Try to connect your PC directly to your modem, bypassing your AP, and test your internet speed. If still your internet is slow then you should report it to your ISP...goodluck...jexter@eastern.com.ph
