I just bought a used dell inspiron n7110. When I hook up to my wifi I get full bars, but the internet takes forever to load when I am on battery. If I hook it up to a charger it goes fast like it should, *** is going on? I've never seen or head of this happening. I tried it several times and it's doing exactly what I say.
