It's been working mostly fine, but starting from yesterday it's being a real pain in the arse. It has a 2/5 signal strength and won't go any higher. It takes 20 seconds to load each page on this site. So crap, it's like a dial-up connection from 1999. What should I do?

It's connected to a wireless adapter. The internet works fine for everyone else, but it's so slow on my computer.
