I have a toshiba laptop running Windows XP SP2. The name of my wireless card is "Atheros AR5001X+ Wireless Network". It is for all three wireless connections
Wireless B: 11.0 mbps connection
Wireless G: 54.0 mbps connection
Wireless A: Not sure
Problem:
Well, recently I have noticed that I am able to connect to wireless "b" networks, but either of 3 things happen in all my browsers:
1. Keeps trying to connect with any website I go to
2. Starts working for a second perfectly, but then problem No.1 starts
3. Goes extremely slow like I am on a connection 5 times slower than 56k (I am talking about a connection with speeds of 8 megs with optimum online, comcast wireless connections, etc.)
Although, my friends have laptops as well(I am talking about 5 other people) who can connect and can browse easily at the normal speed. My laptop says "connected", and "excellent signal", but I can't browse with any Internet browser. I can't log into AIM, MSN, or any other internet related buisness. Although It clearly says I am connected. Here is the weird part, when I connect to a wireless "G" network, it works perfectly and I can browse with ease like I am right now. I need help because I do my work at a place with an 11.0 mbps "b" connection. Thank you and I hope to here from you guys soon. !!!!
