Wireless speed

So my wife pointed out to me that the download speeds on her laptop were not doing so great and I decided to look into it myself. When I ran a speedtest I came up with 3Mbps on her laptop which is way off. I have Comcast Cable and am paying for the 20Mbps service. My desktop is getting the 20Mbps but the laptop is not. What could be wrong in my configuration?

Cable Modem > Astaro > Linksys E1000 (being used as an access point) > PS3, Laptops and cell phones connected to the router.

I tried looking through the logs but nothing is standing out. Where should I be looking
