I recently have had problems with connecting to the internet with my laptops wireless card (Dell Wireless 1370 WLAN Mini-PCI), I have had my laptop for about a year, also with wireless network, it was working fine, then just this past week I had connected to a different wireless network elsewhere, and it was having trouble connecting and staying connected, when I returned home it had trouble connecting also, and when it did connect the mbps's would go down when you tried going onto the internet and the internet would be slow. I'm not sure what could be wrong, my other computers that are hooked up to the wireless network are working fine. Also my laptop tried connecting to a different wireless network upon start up instead of connecting to mine, now it does connect to mine, but the connection isn't good like it was before, and also it says the signal is excellent, that's what is confusing me. Any thoughts?
goto the support website and get the latest drivers for the card you have in it.. if you use the dell/intel utility, try the microsoft one, and vise versa, would be a good place to start.. Remove the WEP/WPA keys, see if you connect well there, and then re-add them..
thanks for the help, but when I downloaded the latest driver for my card and it worked ok for a bit, and then the internet went back to being slow, also I tried using the Dell utility, and the Windows utility, and they both had the same problem. I'm not sure what you mean when you said to remove the WEPd/WPA keys, how would I do that?
