    I have dv6700 with Intel 4965AGN wifi chipset running Windows7 Ultimate 32bit. My router is Super G Netgear WPN824v2 running in G only mode. I got comcast 22mbps connection, so it is fast, but not on my laptop. The websites open, but I can feel its not fast. My friend's 4 year old old IBM laptop running XP gets better browsing experience than mine. I ran the speed test, and the ping from his laptop to server was 10ms whereas from mine it was 20ms. Speeds were little better on his than mine, though difference was small. Still, mine has a newer wifi chipset, hardware and OS, still its browsing is comparitvely slower. I checked for drivers, but it got the latest (version 13.0.0.107) installed already. What could be the reason?? Any recommendations??
