Intel wireless network problems

[disaster999]

I have a Gigabyte GA-H77N-Wifi m-ITX motherboard and recently noticed my internet speed is very slow at times. I did a ping test to my router to see if it was my router's problem and tt was timing out or getting really high ping speeds, even when I restarted the router. Thinking it was my old and tired Linksys WRT320N crapping out, I bought an Asus RT-N66 router. Coverage was a lot better and I was getting my normal internet speed, but after a while I have the same problem again, very slow internet speeds, high ping/timing out to router. I began to trouble shoot, opened up task manager to see what kind of network speeds I was getting and found out Im only getting 1MBps. I looked through all my network settings and couldnt find a reason why its only getting 1MBps so I reconnected my connection and it went back to 300MBps, but after a while it would go back to 1MBps. It doesnt happen after a set time. Sometimes it will have a poor connection after 2-3 hours, sometimes overnight

 

Its pretty annoying having to disconnect my connection every time its running slow, esp if you are downloading a huge file and it slows down to a crawl in the middle of it. Anyone have any idea as to why this is happening and how to fix it?

The problem is the wireless card, quite simple.

 

 

Only fixes I can think of is - 

 

1. Replace it with a better one

 

2. Find latest drivers

 

3. Don't use WiFi

wifi is great until it stops working.

 

update the firmware of you router do a factory reset and it should be back to normal again.

Thanks for the replies. The wifi card is an Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230.

 

Here are the things I did to troubleshoot:

 

1) Restart computer --> didnt work

2) Reinstall wifi driver --> didnt work

3) update wifi driver --> didnt work

 

The thing about the driver, Im not sure if I updated the driver or not. Device manager still say I have the older version, but when I went on Intel's website and used their auto update, they say I have the latest already. Its been less than a year since I bought the motherboard, I guess I could send it in for warranty work if else fails, but that would be the last resort

The router is brand new, I just bought it 2 days ago and it still have the same issue. Its not the routers problem. All other wireless devices at home is working fine
