Bush,
I had similar problems. I bought a new Inspiron 531 with an internal
wireless network adapter from Dell. I had all 5 bars full for signal
strength, but web pages were loading extremely slow and streaming video was
out of the question.
After downloading new drivers from Dell and tinkering with my Vista and
anti-virus settings for hours, nothing was working. Then I found the manual
for the internal wireless network adapter among the packaging. The manual
recommended tilting the antenna for the wireless network adapter at a 30
degree angle. I looked at the back of my computer and the antenna was
pointing straight up. As soon as I tilted it, web pages began loading in the
blink of an eye. I re-ran a connection test and my throughput had
quadrupled. Who would have thought such a slight change would have such
drastic results?
Anyway, if your new Dell computer came with the internal wireless network
adapter, make sure the antenna is properly positioned before you start making
any changes to your configuration.
