could you tell us what cable modem, router, and ISpI'm having similar problems.
I have a Dell Latitude 1520 with a Dell 1505 wireless-N mini card.
I'm getting 1mbps or less (more often than not, less) with an 802.11n connection that is no more than 15ft from the access point.
-Have reset the router (many times)
-Windows firewall is off
-Powersaving setting set to max wireless (i.e. no powersaving in regards to the wireless)
-Have tried Windows provided wireless drivers (even the ones updated via Windows update)
-Have tried Dell's Vista drivers
-Card operates at 50+mbps with XP
-Wired connection works fine
This seems to be a recent problem (1 or 2 months). I've been using Win7 since sometime is very early spring and while I never actually checked the speed my wireless card was getting, I also never noticed it being a problem until recently.
Anyone have any idea?
side note: the really sad part here is that the card works a LOT faster in Linux and there isn't even a Linux drivers for the card.
