Since I set up my wireless connection the internet on my MacBook is EXTREMELY slow! I am like 10ft. away from the router most of the time. I have a Belkin Wireless G router. Most of the time when I go to a website (Myspace, picture threads on MacNN, etc.) not all the images load, or the page does not load all the way. When I connect it directly to the modem (DSL) it works just fine. Any ideas?

I am assuming you gave a good connection. 10 ft away with no obstructions should give you four bars.
Try OpenDNS.
Sys Prefs > Network > AirPort > Advanced > DNS
Enter 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 as DNS server IPs.

Might be a dumb question, but you have you (a) locked down the router so nobody else is on it, (b) rebooted or hard reset the router, and (c) ensured that you have no 2.5GHz cordless phones?

Sell or send me your vintage Mac things if you don't want them.

and make sure you have the latest firmware for your router.
