    You mean gaming or normal uses? Try using intel PROset wirelss instead of the standard microsoft zero zone wireless config utility. You can download it from the Intel site.

    Yeah for gaming. I have Atheros AR928x Wireless Network Adapter. The Proset doesn't work because apparently the driver version doesn't support it. I have the latest update on my wireless thing but it still cannot recognize the intel proset. Any help?
