I think you're seeing what happens when you try to play a modern game on an old laptop...although WoW isn't that bad. Memory will help a lot...I upgraded from 512 to 1024MB and it made a big difference.

The difference between your desktop and laptop is most likely not related to the router, but to the computer hardware.

But, if your cpu can't handle it (onboard graphics means the CPU does everything, essentially), it's gonna lag. I only do basic things on my laptop (email, etc). If you want a solid computer that will last and you can fix yourself, build a desktop.
