    So I have a Centrino Wireless-N 1030 card in my XPS 15 that supports Intel MyWifi. I don't know if it's that card which actually does the work, since there are two other "virtual" wireless adapters in my network connections and you have to have both of those enabled to use MyWifi (you can only enable one but it seems like that will only get you half way, connecting another computer but not being able to actually get into it and transfer files). Anyways, I connected another PC using Personal Area Network to transfer over some music and videos and it is SLOW! Both computers have wireless-N but I am only getting just under 2MB/s. That's only like 16Mbps, doesn't wireless-N support around 300Mbps (37.5MB/s)?

    Also is it possible to create your own password? The one that comes up automatically is like fifty digits long! I watched the demo video from Intel where you can connect a camera and MP3 player but in the video it happens automatically without having to enter a wifi password. Seems all like a pain in the to me at this point.
