    I'm sure it is a driver issue. If you head to this link, you should be able to enter in your service tag number (on the bottom of your unit) and call up all the drivers you would need.

    My D820 had much slower access than my HP NC8430.
    No matter where I am in the hosue now, I get excellent maximum reception.

    That should be it Saleen. Your drivers need to be updated. If you restored the notebook to factory settings, the drivers are probably outdated I would assume. Especially if it was working fine (stable) before you did restored the HDD image.

    The driver release, from the link you posted, says 11/15/2006. If your laptop was ordered late November, that's very close. Dell might not have updated it yet. I don't think they did. So to be sure, you have to update it yourself.
