Hi all, I bought a Intel 4965 to go with my dell 1520 because they stuffed up my order and put in the 3965 instead. I put it in my old Sony FE which only has two antennas and it only seems to connect at 130mbps.

Try to repair the network, then It might connect at 300 mbs.

I have the same problem. I have tried adjusting settings for the wireless, but to no avail. I think it could be a couple of things for the Intel 4965AGN:
1. Drivers are not optimized.
2. Mismatch between 4965AGN chipset and router's chipset.
3. Firmware has not been optimized for the 4965.
Honestly though, this is a pretty common problem with wireless N. It's only in draft 2.0, and there may be some changes that could fix the problem in the production release. -
You won't get 300mbps unless you have three antennas.

Mine too connects at 130, my router has 3 antennas..
-
As for only connecting at 130 when the notebook has 3 antennas: the Intel cards are notorious for not connecting at 300mbps on D-Link and other routers. -

I don't know if you can swap cards on any Sager laptops. You should ask that question on the Sager board.

Ok guys this is the thread i need i have dgl-4500 gaming router and dv9500t with intel 4965AGN/bluetooth chipset mine too says only 130mbps what i think we should do is start providing tips tweaks drivers etc....to get to 300mbps I am guessing that this is possible but just need imput to get there....any help would be great!!
thanks -
-
nope already checked has 3 antennas as does the router
-
-
what router (i have D-Link DGL-4500) if its the same will u give me the link to the firmware page? ill c if it matches mine

I believe D-Link has a notebook card that allows you to achieve the max 300Mbps (or up to), in conjunction with your wireless-N router.
Yeah, I'm getting 130 Mbps with my 4965AGN and D-Link DIR-655. -
Okay, I think I have found out the cause of 130Mbps connections on the Intel 4965 wireless.
The Intel 4965 does not support channel bonding on the 20Mhz / 2.4Ghz spectrum. Meaning, if your router broadcasts 802.11n on the 2.4Ghz range, and it doesn't support 40Mhz channel bandwidth, then the Intel 4965 will only connect at 130Mbps. If the router is broadcasting 802.11n in the 5Ghz / 40Mhz frequency, then the Intel 4965ABGN will connect at a full 300Mbps.
They are basically trying to push the 5Ghz spectrum because 2.4Ghz is so crowded with devices. I think their mentality is that a 802.11n signal @ 2.4Ghz would have a tough time transmitting the theoretical maximum of 300Mbps.
Here's the source:

You can blame Intel on this one.
I wonder if it would be possible to hack the firmware / drivers of the wireless card to enable channel bonding @ 2.4Ghz / 40Mhz. -
ok so from what your saying you cant run both freq at 1 time to get the speeds u have to commit to 5ghz which sucks for me considering i have 2 other g laptops i should have bought the wrt-600n it does both anyone want to buy my dgl-4500? LOL
-
I wouldn't be too upset over it though. 130Mbps is still pretty fast. There aren't too many routers right now that broadcast 802.11n in the 5Ghz range, and the one's you will find are going to be very expensive.
All in all, if you want to get 300Mbps on the 2.4Ghz spectrum, you need to get a different wireless card. -
yea i have HP dv9500 i dont think i can switch it?? who knows?

Hi.
I have the Intel 4965AGN, but i only have a NETGEAR DG834GT 108 Mbps
Does the Intel 4965AGN support 108 Mbps, as it only show 54 Mbps on the taskbar.
Is their a util to give me more information on my connected speed.
thanks

Intel 4965AGN only connects at 130mbps when using 2 antennas?
