Why is my dls bellsouth slow on my laptop and not on base tower?

I have added the bellsouth accelerator among other software and still my dsl bellsouth is almost as slow as dialup. I get warrining that my ip address is in conflict but suposedly bellsouth teck support walked me through that. Still very slow. I am on wireless and my tower unit operates at 58BPS but my laptop only shows 9BPS. I assume if I could get both BPS at 58 then speed would be the same. Both laptop and tower started at same speed and for unknown reasons the lap top slowed down. Start up is almost the same but to download and delete emails takes forever. Also my lap top shows that the bellsouth accelereator is working when with dsl it is not suppose to work. At times deleting emails it appearse to almost lock up. To go get cup of coffee and on return it will finally move to next email. I have performed all normal maintanance with no improvement. Thanks in advance for your help. gene
