Wireless internet slow on my desktop but not my laptop?

I have a custom built gaming pc and a asus u52f note book with a built in wireless adaptor, the pc has a TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 Dual Band Wireless N900 PCI Express Adapter,2.4GHz 450Mbps/5Ghz 450Mbps, IEEE 802.1a/b/g/n,WEP, WPA/WPA2 built in it, but yet the desktop is way slower and hooking it up with wire isnt an option, I have a pretty fair speed internet connection and great wireless router, what is a possible reason its like this and is there a way to boost the speed of my desktop they both run windows 7

internet connection slow in desktop

Your Internet speed is slow when connected to a Desktop and it is fast when connected to Laptop from the same router, It may Possible fault in the router you might need to reset the router, refer the router manual for the instructions.

After resetting the router if the same problem persists, may be the Lan connection speed is limited or the second connection to the WLAN is limited, you need to check the router settings and make some corrections.

If you are connecting the desktop throug LAN, there might be virus or trojans in the desktop, if any threats were there internet connection speed may reduced. If any ongoing downloads are there like torrent or any software updates check them in clear. Install a good Internet Security like Norton...etc.

Connect Internet to your Notebook using LAN and check for the Internet speed, you will come to know where the problem is desktop or Notebook.

Some routers have default settings to reduce the speed, Refer the router manual.
