    I have an F22 with the Atheros AR9827 wireless network adapter. My home internet is 50mbps, and every laptop in the house achieves that rate. Except for mine. I have the latest drivers, I've looked through all the settings and I just can't figure out why I'm only getting 15mbps! I have already contacted Sony Customer Care and they couldn't tell me absolutely anything. Can anyone help me?

    OK, it seems to be semi-working now. I uninstalled the drivers completely then reinstalled them after a reboot, and I'm getting reasonable speeds now. But, the download speeds that I am getting are still superior when I'm wired through ethernet as opposed to downloading through WiFi... Is that unavoidable or is there something interfering with the wireless?

    Could be this issue.

    doesn't seem to make a difference... is there anything else that could possibly work towards fixing it?
