    I am having alot of issues with 5100AGN it randomly goes slow. My PC which has a wireless G card has no issues I can download at 1.1mb/s I get perfect signal wireless N on my laptop but its laggy still. Full bars. Anyone have any idea?

    If you're running windows 7 install the vista drivers. I had the same issues you are and after installing the vista drivers "not windows 7" I had a nice fast stable connection. I installed the ones from Intel's website.

    Sounds like a driver problem. Follow Adamal's advice, but make sure that you fully un-install the current drivers first.
