Make sure you have the latest AirPort software. The make the antenna is 
fully clicked into the connector on the Cube's card are my only 
suggestions. Try transferring computer (Cube) to computer (iBook) w/o 
the Linksys and see if you still get a poorer rate on the Cube.

For sure.

Probably several hundred dollars. Apple repairs are not cheap because 
they want you to buy a new computer and with AppleCare the next time.
