When I had my HP I could download game demos and such very fast (for wirless) now even though it sasy I have a good connection, I can't even log in to this forum. Is it the Intell card? Should I have dell fix this and just put in the dell card? Is the dell card better?

I have never seen anyone with so many different issues surrounding one computer.

Computer problem or user error? Maybe you should just have Dell replace the whole thing to rule out the former.

are you still in your 21 day period? I would return it. You dont seem o be having any luck.

I am using the intel card for at least 6hrs a day and it works great for me.

there are some issues with the support for wireless connections, so you shuold rigth click on it and hit repair, if it succeds, the update drivers and software, also it migth be a problem of the security config of your network. Im using wap2 with aes encription and it works sweet.

Going to sub in my Atheros 5004 SuperG card ASAP once the lappy arrives today. It's a no-brainer to kill the Intel card and go with a real wireless card with much less bloatware for drivers. Others will say otherwise and they are welcome to their opinions, but nothing tops the Atheros wireless IMHO.

I said it before... lurk more, dude. Everyone starts somewhere and that's cool, but I suggest you take your own advice, chill, and learn something.

Oh, and use spell check.

I am bro, I learn by asking what I want to learn....Or should I just hope some one ells post up what I want to know?

any way yes this 9400 is so far nothing but trouble. I think little by little I am fixing it up to waht I want. The only way I am able to do this is by knowing what's going. See now I know my intell card is not doing it's job. I just thought it was my server.

I, really don't want to spend the time to spell check, but I take it that you would do this for me. So thanks

So let me get this straight, you want information, which is already all over the forums, yet you start a NEW thread to ask a question that is already asked and answered simply because you do not want to LURK and LEARN, then you get into tiffs with the very people who "could" help and you alienate them.

I am failing to see how this is a good way to get "good" info. Maybe I am missing the social enginering tactic hidden in your posts. Maybe its just me, maybe i am just old.

Did you all try making it the same channel? Cutting out the other bands? Making sure that the power settings are properly done? Really I didn't even have to do any of that, and I still have had no discontects with this baby. I'm not even running the PROWireless software, and I'm running of the attenna from the DSL modem itself.

Ask for the Broadcom one, as I have heard it can be more reliable than the Intel one.

Remove the Intel PRO/Set Wireless package. Then download the latest PRO/Set package from Intel. Install ONLY THE DRIVER (the first option in Custom/Advanced install). This way Windows can manage the wireless connection properly... because the Intel application does a shit job.

It'll work like a champ after that, the 2200BG does for me.
