Okay Well I got a problem with my dell inspiron 1520 notebook..
My internet connects fine andd dandy but for some reason is extremely slow but My pc next to it running off same router runs fine and i've tried everything to resolve it It seems to load pages somewhat fast but when I speedtest I get unusually slow speeds ONLY on this pc
The laptop has a Intel Wifi Link 4965AGN
And my router is a linksys WRT54GS 802.11B/G
currently my settings on the laptop for my wireless are this
802.11n Channel Width : Use Default Value
802.11n Mode: Disabled
Ad Hoc Channel: 802.11b/g 6
Ad Hoc Power Management: Use Default Value
Ad Hoc QoS Mode: Use Default Value
Fat Channel Intolerant: Use default Value
HD Mode: Enabled
Mixed mode protection: RTS/CTS Enabled
Power Management: Use default Value
Roaming Aggressiveness: Highest
Throughput Enhancement: Enabled
Transmit Power: Use Default Value
Wireless Mode:802.11b only
My Wireless router is set to 802.11b ONly as well on channel 6 So I don't know what the problem is and it doesnt seem to be any better if I practically stand in front of the router IM getting an excellent signal in my room and everywhere around the house.. But its obvious something is wrong..
Any ideas would be appreciated Thanks

1) Set your router and wireless card to use 802.11g. g is a lot faster than b.
2) Set your router to either channel 1 or 11, whichever one is less crowded in your area. Channel 6 is usually the most crowded channel.
2) If you're running Vista, turn off IP V6 for your wireless card.

Did all that.. No I'm not running vista I was but got sick of it so I just now installed XP..
But anyway I did all the other steps...Still getting about the same speedtest results but when I hover my mouse over the wireless connection its not 11mpbs anymore its @54mbps so I don't know whats goin on -
Do your speeds go up when you connect the laptop to the router with a LAN cable?
What are you getting for speeds on this site?
http://www.speedtest.net/ -
1097kbs down
90kbs up
224ms ping
Havnt hooked it up to LAN to try so yah. -
Do a test at the same site after connecting the laptop to your router with a LAN cable, and post the numbers.

hey, I can say that with no problem. Love Canada, and hate your government. Come to think of it, I hate my gov't too!
BTW, I have Vista, any drawbacks to your suggestion here:
