The drivers i have in my machine are for the Intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN 13.0.0.107 are there any other newer drivers for this? i also thought that this could transfer more than 54.0 Mbps over wifi? when i watch hd videos over wifi they are pretty choppy!! any help on this would be great.

There are more recent drivers available directly from Intel. Check their website- I don't know what OS are you using so can't tell you which is the most recent version.
As for 54mbps- in order to get to 802.11n speeds you need a router/AP capable of doing it and you need to make sure your security settings are set to WPA2+AES (and wireless mode is set in mixed mode or 802.11n mode) -
Hi im running Win 7 Ultimate, ive looked on intels website but cannot seem to find any drivers for my wifi?

Ah brilliant, thanks for the help. I will try those out and see how it goes. And sorry for posting in the wrong section :-\

Also check the settings of the WiFi adapter. You should have the 40MHz channel width enabled or set to auto - I don't really remember my settings (and I don't have access to my notebook right now).

You don't need 40MHz channel to get above 54mbps. You can get up to 150mbps on 20MHz channel.
