Interaction between Edimax Router and Win7 breeds slow wifi connection

Hi all,
Recently installed Windows 7 and I have been having some weird WIFI problems.
when I connect to my edimax (BR6424N) router, I get very bad connections, with lots of timeouts mid page loading. its is very sporadic and inexplicable. the internet is fine when I connect with a cable and when I connect to the neighbors wifi. It is also fine when I connect my wife's computer to our wifi (she runs vista) and my android tablet is fine too.

I scanned for viruses, changed the wifi password, cleared the cache, and the channel and I also used three different browsers as well as outlook and dropbox and they all have the same problems. If I recall i have a few days where it was fine before this started, I feel like it has to do with updates but that would be pretty weird.

this is really driving me nuts.
any suggestions would be well appreciated.
thanks!
