saint_stevo Posted 9 August, 2009 Share Posted 9 August, 2009 did you buy the HP? Hover over the wireless icon and it should show you a speed reading, this should be 54mbps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you are sitting in a lead box. the router is in my living room which was where i was sitting at the time..so it should not be an issue.. my laptop is a compaq. mid range spec.... better than my old one (which was 3 years old) and that seemed quicker when using the wireless thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
