I've got Quest DSL and a Quest (Actiontec?) wireless router. The router
is connected to my PC, and my connection speed is acceptable. My wife's
computer, which is ten feet away in an adjacent room, is significantly slower when surfing the Web. She's using a company laptop, so maybe it has something to do with the software on her computer. But I'm wondering if the problem is the wireless connection. If so, is there anything we can do to tweak her computer?

Probably not. "Tweek it" into the same room about 3 feet away once just as a test. You may see a signigicant improvement. Until very recently, wireless hardware couldn't really achieve the speed of a "real" ethernet connection......especially if the signal strength is down a bit due to no "real" antenna on the laptop and/or too many intervening walls.
