G73JH with Intel Advanced 6200, N issues

I have finally discovered that the Intel 6200n in my laptop (upgraded from xoticpc.com) is really slow downloading. I have a 6mb connection at my house and I'm lucky to get 1.2mb even though when I hard wire i get 5.6mb avg. Now at my friends house hes got a 16mb cable connection using my wrt600n and it still does the same exact thing 1.2mb down but the upload is always perfect. I uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled with the latest driver and I still have the same issue. I really need some help as this really sucks downloading slower than 100kb a second when i usually got 650+KB download speed a second. I want to be make sure you guys know that the wireless N in my iPhone 4, my dads XPS M1530, and my GF's EEE PC all use Wireless N and get the same speeds during speed test. 5.6mbps down and .62mbps up. Also if I connect using G on my G73 with the same router my speeds are 5.6mbps down .62mbps up. Thanks for any help you can give.

 

Are you using the latest driver?

I use the following settings on the adapter:

802.11n Channel Width for band 2.4: Auto
802.11n Channel Width for band 5.2: Auto
802.11n Mode: Enabled
Ad Hoc Channel 802.11b/g: 11
Ad Hoc QoS Mode: WMM Disabled
Fat Channel Intolerant: Disabled
Mixed Mode Protection: CTS-to-self Enabled
Roaming Aggressiveness: Medium
Transmit Power: Highest
Wireless Mode: 802.11a/b/g

I have the "Use Intel Connection Settings" enabled with the Band Selection set to 2.4GHz instead of the default "Mixed" (works better for me here - YMMV).

On the router side for the 2.4GHz settings (since that's what I'm connecting on with the adapter settings above) I have:

Network Mode: Mixed (<-- important! Setting to "Wireless-N only" yields worse performance)
Channel Width: Auto (20MHz or 40MHz)
Wide Channel: Auto
Standard Channel: Auto
Advanced wireless settings all set to router's defaults

 

Yes that is how mine is set up exactly.

 

How are you testing download/upload speeds? No confusion with "MB"s and "Mb"s, right? (only an 8x difference )

In the connection status, what is the value displayed for "Speed"?

 

*Edit* accidental post.

 

I have the same settings, status lists speed as 270Mbits/s wih a DIR-655
works great.

 

I am testing using speediest.net. And no I'm not getting Mbps and mbs mixed up :/ when connected with N it shows 130mbps. I disabled N last night again and used G and got the 5.6mbps down and .62mbps up. There HAS to be something wrong with the N on the laptop. Cause N doesn't work on 3 other wireless N routers but it works fine with G. I'm not caring about the speed of the wireless connection. I'm saying that when I download things I download at 70-110K a second and usually it times out. But using wireless G I download at 650-710k a second and will run all night. And this isn't a router issue as it does it on 3 other routers that use N and 5 other computers that use N have no issues at all.

 

Ok after a router reset and a full uninstall of the driver and reinstall with the latest version the issue seems to have gone away. Thanks for all the replys!
