    I have an SZ650 coupled to a Linksys WRT 150N router. Can't seem to get anywhere near the speed I thought I would, in fact it's slower than my old "G" router. I have done some troubleshooting but so far no consistent performance. It seems that the "signal strength" is usually quire strong but the download speeds are just the opposite. Could the problem be with the wirless card in the SZ 650? If so I would assume a driver upgrade maybe the first step. Anyone else finding this problem?
    Thanks

    Are you on battery? The default power setting for wireless is some form of power saving, so you're not getting the best possible performance.
