    I have an AO532H with an Atheros AR5B93 Wireless Network Adapter. I connects to a LinkSys WiFi 802.11 N router. On my Acer, I'm getting sub 1 MBps download speeds, even with excellent signal strength. This started happening a few weeks ago. Before I was getting much faster speeds on the same network. On other PCs on the network in the same location I get 10 MBps WiFI and up typically. Even my iPhone gets 5 MBps.

    I've read through these forums and double-checked everything people have talked about:
    • I have the latest BIOS according to the Acer support site (v 1.25)
    • I have the latest Atheros driver according to the Acer support site
    • I have all Windows Updates
    • I have disabled the QoS Packet Scheduler in Wireless Network Connection Properties
    • I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Atheros Adapter in Device Manager

    Any ideas why this is happening?

    Thanks
