I got a laptop that is extremely slow in web surfing. It's connection baud rate via wireless changes from 24, 48 and 56 Mbps intermittently within few seconds. The router is located on the same desk so distance is not the problem. The router is Netgear brand and wireless card is Intel, built-in to Dell laptop. Please help. TIA.
How do you tell that it changes from 24, 48 and 56 Mbps intermittently ?

I open up the network property of the wireless NIC and check status. There it says the strength, connection speed, bytes sent and received. The speed will change from and to 24, 48, 56 within, say 30 seconds or less. With these observation, I can see the speed of surfing dramatically slow. Any suggestion I can try? Thanks.
One of the best ways to determine if the router or the wireless card is the problem is to take your notebook to a local hotspot (coffee shop, etc.) and see if the problem occurs there as well. If it does, you know it is the computer. If not, it is most likely that router.
Give this a shot, and let me know what happens.
