I have an Inspiron 2200 with a built in wireless card and a Dell 2350
wireless router.

When I switch on it connects to the internet with the icon in the system
tray quoting a speed of 54.0 Mbps but when I try to browse the speed quoted,
drops to 1.0Mbps and browsing is impossible..

I'm running with WEP not enabled on XP

I have the Dell utility on the laptop and I sometimes get the message from
XP that I should use that to configure the connection. Should it be an adhoc
connection.

Sometimes if I leave the laptop on, the speed increases and I am able to
browse.

Can anyone help.

many thanks

Do you have an Intel 2200bg or 2915abg? If so, expect those problems as long as you keep that card.




Why? I have the 2915abg in my I9300 and it works flawlessly. Rather than just making broad statements, could you back them up with facts?

DellBot ALERT!
No. I have a Dell Inspiron 8200. It has worked flawlessly for three years. Like Dell.

Don't like Intel's 2200bg and 2915abg drivers. Wish Intel would fix the drivers. Don't like buying a card which won't work well because it is crippled by the drivers and having to buy another card. Now I have an Intel 2915abg which might be useful for a bookmark. It could be useful for a wireless client if Intel would fix the drivers.
