Slow Hanging Network

(This is a re-post and may be the right Group)
I am using Windows XP SP-2.
Small network, one Wired PC, one Wireless PC, one Wireless Notebook (all G).
Cable Modem (Road Runner) - static IP
I had a D-Link router that did well (all Internet and Network connections
worked)untill it crashed during a firmware upgrade.
Replaced with a Linksys Wireless G Speedboost WRT54GS.
Same SSID and WEP Key.
Now, I cannot access the Network without a terrible delay, which causes a
shared program on the server to hang and "not respond" when run on the
workstations (they used to work fine with the previous router).
I do have internet access OK, except frequent episodes on the wireless
computers when the internet connection seems to just stop for a while.
All are wireless G - one PC (D-Link PCI Adapter) one Notebook (Dell Internal)
With excellent signal strength (54 MBps) there is a delay - between
Wired-Wireless(both) and Wireless-Wireless.
I re-setup the Network and Wireless network on all three computers, shut off
Windows Firewall, disabled Mcafee Firewall on two that have it, and repaired
the Winsock (with WinsockFixXP) to no avail. I see everything, but the
transfer start is delayed (as I select down the Explorer tree the selection
move stops at My Network Places and there is ~15-20sec delay before I can
move down My Network Places to just select a shared folder) , then it's OK to
transfer, it seems (although a bit slow). Something hangs when the selection
reaches the Network.
I also tried the Notebook at home using an identical WRT54GS and the same
Wireless Security settings, but using a Dynamic ISP connection (the problem
Router is a static ISP connection and I have enable MAC filtering to allow
all the Network computers). Here, from the wired PC, transfers seem OK both
to and from the wired PC. But from the wireless Notebook, I see everything
fine, but as I select down the Explorer tree there is just ~6-7sec delay
before I can move down My Network Places to select a shared folder and then I
can transfer files. This is similar to the problem with the other Router for
selection, but the problem router takes longer to allow a selection.
