    Hi

    I have recently purchased a new Dell Studio 1558. I am having some wireless issues where the maximum speed I get on my network is 65Mbps. Here are some details of my setup:

    Wireless card: Dell Wireless 1520 Wireless-N Half Mini Card
    Router/Modeml: Netgear DGN1000 Wireless 802.11n (150Mbps)
    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium

    I have another Sony laptop which also has a wireless n card which on the same network gets the full 150Mbps. Can anyone help me out?

    i'm having the same issues.... happens on other peoples networks as well.
    I paid EXTRA for the wireless n....

    From what I understand, the router is limited by the slowest device connected to it. So my blackberry, which is only wireless G, caps what the router can do for the other devices. I tried turning everything else off, and cranking the settings in my router, but even then I only got 72mbs.
