For one, a wireless connection can be interrupted by thousands of things while a wired connection can only be interrupted by electrical interference. Also, most laptops aren't strong enough to run Aces High very well in the first place.

Laptops are notorious for using shared memory for the video chip.  What video chip does the laptop have, and how much RAM does it have?

Another thing that may cause lag is background processes.  AV scanners, various and sundry "utilities", etc.  If you have more than 5 items running in the tray you might want to see what isn't needed and stop them before running AH2.
