    Hi all,
    I have Asus laptop with Intel Pro/Wireless card 3945ABG network card running the latest drivers and I am connecto to a Netgear router.
    My problem is that I have a 20MB internet connection and when I run a speed test (www.speedtest.net) I get very odd results.
    If i am wired directly to Modem - 19800Kbps
    IF I am wired to the router - 15500kbps
    If my I use my wireless connection - 5400kbps very very little.

    I did the same test with a Dell Inspiron 6400 and I got same results but on the wireless test I got 15000kbps. So something is wrong with my wireless connection but i dont know what. I unistalled the wireless card and drivers and Intel applications. reboot computer and it auto detect new hardware and installed using windows XP tool and still i get the same results. I have bring my router to factory defaults if case problem was with any IP routing but still I have no results. I tried with antivirus and firewall off anf the results are the same.

    What can this be? Will I have to format my OS?

    Any comments are appreciated.
    Thanks alot.
    Larbac
