    I bought a M1530 and I got it last week. I got the Intel Next Gen N Wireless card with it. My laptop gets perfect connection at work and at my dads house , but then when I bring it home, I either have very low connection, like 40%, or i cant connect to my wireless at all even though it sees it. And while I dont get a connection or a good connection, my sisters HP gets perfect connection and she gets wireless when I dont. It is starting to piss me off. I have a Netgear WGT624 router, and my dad has the same one, no problem with his, What could be the problem?

    Probably interference, try a different channel. Also, don't put it near wireless phones/microwaves etc if you are using it in G mode.
