Ridiculously Slow/Flaky Wireless
OS: Windows 7
System: Sony VAIO SR
Router: Linksys WRT54G
Wireless adapter: Intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN
Around the house, my wireless connection is ridiculously slow where on previous occasions it was always fast. I have another laptop I'm running side-by-side with the my VAIO and its wireless performance is flawless, so I'm confident the router isn't the issue. My VAIO reports the signal quality at full bars, but the speed is usually only at 1 or 2 Mbps, whereas my other laptop always holds at 54 Mbps.
The connection itself is flaky. I get knocked off every 5-10 minutes. The only time there's any stability is if I'm 5-10 feet away from the router.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
