    I am getting horrendous wifi signal on my new vaio z3. I'm getting about .28mb download and .55 upload when my desktop, which is 10 ft closer to the router is getting about 13 mb download and 15 upload. What can i do to fix this?!

    And its been this way since you first got it? What does the wireless connection properties show in terms of connection quality. I suggest taking the Z3 to a friends/work/Starbucks and try a different router. If it still doesn't work, exercise your 30 days return and get a new machine.

    I went to my friends house and got around 18mb download and 15 upload. It seems like the receiver isn't that strong but when it does receive the signal, it's fine. Is this normal?
