I really don’t know if my wireless speeds have deteriorated over time. Comments and questions, please continue to post them in this thread so others can see what steps we take to (hopefully) resolve the speed question. To better assist me in troubleshooting please click on my Dell Todd username and send me a private message just with your Dell Service Tag. You might want to take a look at where the antennas run on that system and make sure (especially if they're up through the LCD screen) that the antennas haven't been crimped. You don't mention which specific model of the 17r you're using but that can be found on those pages as well. There you will find user and support manuals that will show you how to check the antenna leads, etc. Here is a link to our support pages, where if you input the service tag of your system you'll be redirected to the pages specific to your model. Different chipsets from different wireless card manufacturers work differently, and perform differently, in different environments. It could be that the card itself needs to be upgraded to a newer model to work well with your router. (could be a conflict between the driver settings and router security protocols.) Make sure to turn the security settings back on afterwards. I would recommend things like checking the antenna leads in the system to make sure they are firmly connected to the wireless card, check the card itself to see if it's fully seated, try turning off bluetooth to see if that improves speeds, and try turning off your security software and settings on both the router and the laptop to see if speeds improves.
