    Hello

    Just picked up Trendnet N router supposedly capable of 300mbps.

    http://trendnet.com/products/proddetail.asp?prod=145_TEW-633GR&cat=66

    Using its N card, I am seeing speeds above 200s.

    On my X61s with 4965, the most I am seeing is 130 which I guess makes sense since my router is not 5ghz. However, I can't even seem to maintain 130. It often drops back down to 50s. Any idea what settings I can check to make sure?

    Do I go as far as using thinpad connection software as opposed to just windows? I have Windows XP Pro

    THank you in advance.

    WAG, but try changing the channel and/or using standard band instead of wideband. Just guessing.
