Baud rate changes intermittently

I got a laptop that is extremely slow in web surfing. It's connection
baud rate via wireless changes from 24, 48 and 56 Mbps intermittently
within few seconds. The router is located on the same desk so
distance is not the problem. The router is Netgear brand and wireless
card is Intel, built-in to Dell laptop. Please help. TIA.

How do you tell that it changes from 24, 48 and 56 Mbps
intermittently ?

I open up the network property of the wireless NIC and check status.
There it says the strength, connection speed, bytes sent and
received. The speed will change from and to 24, 48, 56 within, say 30
seconds or less. With these observation, I can see the speed of
surfing dramatically slow. Any suggestion I can try? Thanks.

One of the best ways to determine if the router or the wireless card is
the problem is to take your notebook to a local hotspot (coffee shop,
etc.) and see if the problem occurs there as well. If it does, you know
it is the computer. If not, it is most likely that router.

Give this a shot, and let me know what happens.

Yup, I took it elsewhere and it performs just fine. The problem must
be the router. I'm replacing it. Thanks.

No problem at all. Best of luck!
