    I have a new Studio XPS with the dell drivers from the website installed on it (Windows 7) and a Belkin N+ router. The laptop will not connect above 54mbps. If i set the router to N only then the laptop will not connect at all.

    Any advice?

    Yes, and it is in device manager. I have every option possible on the laptop. And for the record, I love it, I dont seem to have any of the other issues people have here.....

    EXCEPT for this wireless issue.

    There don't seem to be any drivers fror the AR5009 there, the closest I can find is the AR5008?

    I tried these drivers anyway and installed it as a generic A/B/G/N mini pci card and it did not help the situation.
