Intel 6230 N Performance

Just wondering how your wireless N connections are. Mine sucks. D-Link Dir-655 router, Intel 6200=300mbps, 6230=26-81mbps. Tried 20 and 40htz. Distance of 5 feet.

Only using 54g connection, its pretty good here, max power saver and still maximum speed of the connection.

I would be doing great if I was on G. Hoping some others will chime in with an N connection. Maybe my card sucks.

I have the 6250 (the same base 6200 WiFi as yours) and my wireless-n performance is great. I have my router (TrendNet TEW639GR) on the 1st floor, and I can still get 70% or so signal strength on the 3rd floor.

It's almost as fast as wired (verizon fios), so I guess it's good.

Well, Dell is going to replace it along with the palm rest.

It wasnt installed correctly so it has a ridge bent into it near the power button. I pushed down on the ridge and it snapped it, breaking the tab that holds it down. I will lose the win7 and i5 stickers.
