    I don't know if anyones having slow internet on their M1330 but mine was kinda slow to load webpages, etc. I have the wireless n card and just updated the driver (4965AGN Wifi Link Intel) to the one on Dells website version 11.1.1.22 and it seems fine now.

    Just thought I should pass on this info.

    The driver is listed as: Intel/PROWIRELESS 3945ABG 4965, etc

    From the 'AGN-ABG' bit you've posted it seems that you've neutered your own Wi-Fi cards capabilities.

    Does your router support 'Draft-N'?

    No it doesn't but the driver states
    Applies to:
    Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
    (R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN

    so I guess the download can be used for both

    I idownloaded and installed this driver yesterday and it made a huge difference in my connectivity. I'd been getting poor quality wireless connections to my router and it solved the problem.

    I highly recommend the driver update as well.
