If none of Bill's suggestions work, the position of the cube ad
basestation can be a big issue. Try putting them very close to each other
and se e if that helps.  (Or alternatvely, leave the cube and router
where they arem set the ibook near the cube and see if the iBook's
transfer rate drops) If so, you had something in between that is
interfering. You can download macstumbler from versiontracker.com and find
out what your signal strength is in various locations. That could help
track down the interference.

Hope this helps,
