I have a wireless DSL modem, to which my laptops (Macbook, and Macbook Pro) connect just fine. My Tower also connects at full bars, but it runs about 25% speedwise. I'll run a speed test and get 300Kb/sec on the tower, and 1200+ Kb/s on the laptops.

After upgrading the tower to Leopard, the problem still exists. Everything has been rebooted, etc. Any ideas?

A hardware list and a rundown on how things are set up would help. Which specific DSL modem? Which MacBook & Pro hardware versions (as in Core Duo/Core 2 Duo, speed, etc.)? What Tower are you using and what's its wireless card?
