First of all, it is a possibility of the Recovery CD and drivers installation... (it also possible that your built in card didn't broken)
As for CNET card, I thing this forum is not CNET product support.
As for Slow Internet, Have you try browsing the internet while you are NOT downloading?
Hello, I hope somebody can help me with this...
I have a CNet wireless pc card 11Mbps. I am currently downloading movies with BitComet and eMule at the combined speed of 25kb/s, and uploading at 10kb/s. My connection shows very good and speed 11.0Mbps. But the internet surfing is very slow. Have to wait and wait for a new site to be completed. It didn't used to be like this, and others in the building don't have the same problem. And I mean, when it says 11.0 and very good connection, why is it still so slow in practice?
Hope I can ask one more question.. My initial problem and the reason I bought the CNet card was that my built in Intel(Pro)/Wireless 2200BG card stopped working after I had to use the recovery CD for Windows xp pro and reinstall the drivers and utilities. It worked just before I did this. I have talked to people on my support service and tried lots of things, like remove and reinstall the driver, but when I push the button on my laptop that is supposed to switch the card on, it won't even start to search for a connection. It is completely dead. As this happened in connection with the windows recovery, I can't but believe that it must have something to do with that. Am thankful for any suggestion...
