DWL-G510 slow wireless
Hi, just joined the forum from searching for answers about the joys of Windows 7.
I just set up my PC a few days ago and have noticed that my internet speed drops dramatically when I am using the mentioned wireless card.
I found this when I was using a program for Firefox called 'Down Them All' , as I was getting a large file (Crysis Demo to test out my PC).
The wireless last night was fluctuating between 200b/s and 600Kb/s and today is has been sitting at around 102b/s but sometimes dropping down to 6b/s.
I tried using speedtest.net, but it was going that slow that I couldn't load it.
I have plugged in my ethernet cable and it is currently downloading at about 500kb/s-700kb/s.
The router I am using is a BT home hub.
(I have filled in the PC setup info on my profile but don't know if that shows up or not, can copy it in if needed.)
Thanks for any help.
