I been getting very slow download speeds like i used to get 180kbs as my download speed and now i get only 55kbs as my download speed after doing a clean install i have the latest wireless drivers and other intel stuff on the intel site and also my wireless is secure so none of my neighbors are using it i dont know what is the problem with it and its annoying me. Any help will be apperiated

    What router do you have, and what firmware are you running?

    I managed to fixed it lol

    It was my router was causing the problems not my wireless card my router is connected to my old desktop computer somehow it had a serious virus that made windows not load up at all so i reformated it and installed my wireless router software on it now its working just fine and my speeds are back to normal and no disconnections at all :D
