Wireless connectivity

by larbakium . Updated 17 years, 9 months ago

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 – 19800MB
IF I am wired to the router – 15500MB
If my I use my wireless connection – 5400MB 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 15000MB. 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
