  I have a new 7110 (17R), with a Centrino 1030, and it seems this card is a real turkey.  My speed varies wildly, from 65 to 130.  I'm going to replace it.  
Hey all.I am trying to get my mom's n7110 working correctly in a hurry. The wifi is painfully slow. It is not the router because I am getting great speed on every other computer. The speed on the n7110 is very unreliable. One second it will be 3mbps or lower, then it will jump to 14mbps.....compared to my inspiron 1545 that gets close to 20mbps according to speedtest.net.   I've tried updating some drivers yesterday, and that helped a little bit because it was WAY worse before that...it would take about a minute to load a picture.any tricks or updates i should look for now?
n7110 very slow wifi
