I updated to Mountain Lion a few weeks ago, and have found it nearly unusable when wireless. Loading a page can take 15 -30 seconds(or more). Have updated to the latest version.

On Apple support site I found others are experiencing this problem, but I didn't see any solutions.

Any help?

Is it the same across all browsers?
I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....

It is, and I can get the browsers to be snappy again by restarting the laptop(MacAir).

Sorry - I wouldn't know where to begin looking for something like that.

Apps -> Utilities -> Console

Choose all messages. Open it up after boot, leave it running and then check it when your browsers start to slow down.

I wish I could tell you a specific thing to look for. Beyond something that isn't there when browsing is fast but is when it slows down. I'm hoping it will tell you a cache is full or something like that but I really have no idea.

Log in to your wireless router and change the channel, generally I have good results on 6 and 11

Google your router's name and 'login', you will enter the address into your browser and you'll have access to administering the router's settings.
