    hey guys,

    when I connect my xps 1645 with broadcom wirlesss card to te wireless network i only get a download speed of 2,5 mbit. upload is 1.5mbit

    with lan i get 22mbit download and 1.6mbit upload.

    I have downloaded the latest drivers for lan and wlan using Slimdrivers:
    SlimDrivers [Automated Driver Updates] - Coming Soon

    I know I did have a faster download before. I have no clue what changed and even several Windows reinstallations havent changed that.

    Help would be appreciated.

    Cheers

    Move closer to the access point and check your antenna connections, wireless speed is not stable and depend on a lot of factors. Increased networks from your neighbors could also play a role as well.
