To all who kindly answered my question about Insight:
I ran the speed test from the MacBook Pro (thanks Lee). Here are the
results:
802.11n (dlink)
RSSI -68
Transmit Rate: 104
As you suspected, I am surrounded by routers in the neighborhood on all
sides (at least 5 or 6), and that seems to be the biggest problem.
So, I researched your suggestion of getting a signal booster and ordered
this one. It had a good Amazon rating and was reasonably priced. It has
an upgrade antenna for $6 if I need more power.

Hopefully, this will be the answer. Thanks again for your replies. This
is a GREAT list!

What kind of Wifi router are you using? We had a fairly late model Linksys that
would go in and out on us regularly, and I finally replaced it with an Apple
Airport Extreme that has been rock solid since we got it about three months
ago. It cost us an extra $100 or so, but it's been well worth it.
