I’m glad that it has fixed your problem. Enjoy :)

Use virt-manager (with KVM). Learn how to install guest tools, then enjoy the performance!

Activate it as shown in the comments!

Have you checked the flags in wpa_supplicant? Some routers have non-default encryption schemes.

From my notes, use these USE flags as a test: net-wireless/wpa_supplicant wps wep ap fasteap eap-sim tkip uncommon-eap-types

I’m pretty sure this is your problem :)

Switch to Debian and you’ll be fine :)

This can happen with people that refuse to learn!

I use encryption on laptops, because they can be stolen in the train, bus, etc. On work desktop, I do so as well, because there are many people around. However, on everything that stay at home, I prefer not to use it to simplifiy things and get more performance.
