I had to replace the stock card in my laptop (same as my signature), and I put an Intel Centrino 6230 in. Now it keeps dropping connection to my router and my speeds drop from around 15-20mb/s to...

............................

Now out of nowhere my download speed dropped to 3.5mb/s and I haven't changed anything else. It was still at 13mb/s. What's going on? lol

Ok I switched to WPA2-Personal and now I can connect to N only but not the speed jumps between, 54, 81, 90, and 108 mbps. It's seems to be at 81 or 90mbps the most though. I am getting the same...

Well I realized that when it is on N only nothing connects wirelessly. Only thing that works is my desktop with a wired connection. I couldn't get anything to connect

There is no transmission rate but other than that I already had everything set like that besides "N only"

I'll work on getting my laptop to connect and report back.

A D-Link router with WPA-Personal security.

I would switch the wireless channel but it is greyed out and I can't change it. It says "2.437GHz - CH 6"

I don't have anything that requires b or g. Everything can run N. What do I need to change...

4-5 bars. Usually 5 though. Says signal strength is excellent

My settings are the same as yours Brody except for the Ad Hoc Channel. I have mine at 6 to match what my router runs on. When I switched it from 11 to 6 that is when I jumped up to 13-14mb/s. That is...

It says 54mbps, but I know that my router is faster than that.

Alright I was in the right place all along. All of those settings look fine. Anything else it could be? It's only like 5mb/s or so off but that seems like a lot.

I also took a screen shot of the...

Well I'm not entirely sure where to check the settings, but I did go into my connections and changed the channel on the card from 11 to 6 (where my router is) and it bumped it up to 13mb/s. I also...

Ok so I installed the card and I am only getting 3-5mb/s download when I used to get 20-25mb/s on this laptop and every other pc in the house is still getting those speeds. I installed the only...

You can take it to Gametz. It's mainly a place to trade video games but a lot of people sell laptops and things in the forums. It's about all I can think of. I love the site for video game trading...

What is the ASUS Rotation Desktop? And can I get it on my laptop (one in my signature)?

Alright thanks for the help Brodyboy.

Do you know the name of the user you bought it from so I can avoid buying from the same people?

Thanks. Is there a guide to opening the laptop to get to that point? I haven't opened this one yet and have no idea where to start

I find that I get it faster from Newegg and I really like their RMA process. Also, the card at Amazon is from a third party which is sort of concerning.

EDIT: I'm going to go ahead and buy that...

Yes I tried that link. I will probably end up buying that one, but I like going through Newegg better since IMO opinion they have great customer support in case something is wrong with the card or it...

Is the speed difference noticeable with a 20mb/s speed from my IP? I don't really use the bluetooth but if the speed isn't a big difference I may save the $10 and get the 6230.

Also, I can't find...

It just started and I plugged in an ASUS USB card and it is working perfectly, so I guess that means my laptop card is bad. I can't find the Intel 6230 anywhere for some reason. How are these?
...

I have the drivers updated. Is there anything I can do to fix it? I don't think it is my router or my provider since my xbox (on a wireless connection) never does it.

If I can't fix it, what are...

After playing Battlefield 3 for a few hours my GPU usually runs around 75-77 degrees. 86 does seem a little excessive and I do have a G53. My GPU never runs above 78 degrees
