Downloaded updated driver from dell site and  it's a noticeable difference.   So far no dropoffs on the internet connection.  Thanks for helping and hopefully this is the fix.

Can I ask a couple of more ?'s.   On my desktop I did a speed test.  On my desktop the download speed is
9 mbps and the upload is .54.

On my laptop the download speed is 6.5 mbps and the again the upload is .54.

Are those numbers ok?   The download seems good to me but the upload seems slow.

Did you ever tell us what type of service you have (DSL/cable) the up/down speed you are paying for?

Secondly I flashed my old linksys with tomato but I'm not sure how to configure it for a bridge.  Is this something that's appropriate  to ask here?

Thanks again for your help

Nope.  I'd visit the tomato forum site or www.linksysinfo.org for help on that.

I thought I had modified my post to take out part about download speeds.  They are consistent with my service.  I'll go squash the tomato over there.  Thanks for the help.

What type of client is in your notebook?  Atheros, Broadcom, Ralink, Intel, etc?  Also which series chipset and the driver version?  You can get all this info from Device Manager.

BTW, TKIP throughout is lower than if you use WPA2/AES.  Your client hardware needs to be newer to do AES well.  Also, if you don't have XP SP3 you may not have the WPA2 patch from Microsoft.

Claykin:  good info!  Just did this on the two laptops this a.m.  Using Inssider I see I'm the only one on AES. Fair amount of signals my area.  Townhouse community.  Move to channel 1 some time ago to avoid overlap.
