I am using
Dell XPS M1530.
the wireless card installed is
Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG.
I am using BSNLbroadband with a max bandwith provided 2mbps.
Now my problem is,
When I connect to the net via WiFi, I get a speed of 250-350 kbps only.
But,
When I connect via ethernet cable, it increases to around 2mbps.
Why does the speed decrease when i connect vis WiFi??
The network strength is excellent still speed same.
Now when I connect my
Lenovo laptop(Similar wireless card, OS-
Windows XP) to the same network I get an excellent speed of around 2mbps, even if the network is poor.
Is something wrong with my Dell laptop?
Now if I upgrade my Wireless card to Intel(R) 4965AGN wireless-N mini card, will the speed increase??
What is the difference those two Wirelesscards?
What else can I do to increase the speed via WiFi?
Please reply...
I think your Dell comes preinstalled with Vista and am sure this has something to do with Vista, did u checked the wireless settings in Vista..maybe some Vista experts here can help( sorry! i cant help since i have no idea with Vista)
If possible try to Install windows XP in another partition and dual boot with Vista and check ur wireless speed on Windows XP.
