Hi,
I hope I'm not reposting but as of yet I can't find any solution to either of my problems.
Firstly, I recently got faster internet installed and replaced my router with one that could utilise the faster bandwidth. The router is supposed to be capable of enabling up to 300Mbps whilst my wireless card is supposed to receive up to 54Mbps. The speed of my internet provided is 50Mbps which is the speed that I get when I connect to the router via ethernet but when I am in the same room with my laptop, I only get 20Mbps (tested using speedtest.net). Help pleaseee?
Also, after tinkering a little, my wireless icon in the bottom right corner has permanently become the logo that is attached (I.e. the icon that pops up in windows 7 when the ethernet connection is disabled/not working). Everything seems to work fine though so it's not a major issue, but it's just really annoying; I keep thinking something is wrong and every time my internet cuts out I never know.
Anyway, thanks in advance
