Wireless connection loads pages slowly...

My daughter is in college and shares an apartment with 3 others. They all hook up to a wireless connection.
No one is having this problem except my daughter. She has a Gateway laptop with an internal wireless card.
The laptop shows an "excellent connection" with the wireless router. But some pages can take up to 20 minutes to download, while others will pop up immediately. I can't figure out why some pages are loading so slowly. She's using Windows XP.

Would say check MTU settings of router or something globally, but since she is the only one getting issue I would check to see what are the differences in computers like 802.11b versus 802.11g.

Ensure that under Network Connections -> Wireless Adapter -> Properties -> Check authentication tab and ensure that options are unchecked there and check to ensure that wireless settings on laptop match that of the router exactly.
