Hi!
I just bought an ASUS W3V with WinXP Pro SP2, and an Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG card and I'm having trouble using Voice/Video chat and Online gaming.
I usually use a Linksys WRT54G Router which doesn't cause me any problems... but I moved and am now using a GigaFast (WF719-CAPR) Wireless-G Broadband Router 802.11b/g. My wireless internet is protected by WPA-TKIP.
On the box of the router it says:
- One 10/100M Auto-Negotiation WAN RJ-45 port. Fout 10/100M Auto-Negotiation LAN RJ-45 ports.
- Up to 54mbps data transfer rate
- supports auto MDI/MDIX
- provides 64/128bit WEP data encryption
- Provides WPA and WPA2
- Built in NAT and DHCP server supporting static ip address distributing
Anyways... I'm using Skype to do Voice chat and it works for a minute or two.. but then the person I'm talking to says my voice gets "robotic" and then just disconnects and they can't hear me.
When I look at my connection strength it goes from 54mbps to 36mbps to 24bmps to 1mbps... then I think disconnects quickly then reconnects and tells me my wireless connection is connected with excellent strength.
Since I'm using an ASUS W3V I am unable to update my wireless drivers from version 9.0.1.9 to the new version 10.?.?.?
I tried "updating" the IntelPROset utility but it still does not work...
My friend has a Compaq V2000 and it has an AMD wireless card I believe and it works perfectly fine with everything.
Guys, I'm running out of ideas here![]()

A lot of people seem to have problems with Intel's wireless cards - any how, check this post for what Intel sais about potential problems http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=58883&page=2, maybe it will help in your case

Awesome the solution on that thread worked!!!!
I can now hold audio conversations!
However, I tried video and it was a bit laggy and disconnected a few times...
I really hope Intel/Asus fix this completely!!!!

Okay it seems that the fix didn't completely solve my problem... I'm still having connection issues
however voice chat does work better...
I just can't understand HOW or WHY Intel, who are such a reputable (at least in my mind) company, and their wireless cards are sub-par???
Anyone have suggestions?? I'm thinking I might email ASUS about making the new drivers compatible with my laptop.... but would the new drivers fix anything??
Voice chat/Online games not working...
