Sorry about the previous post I'm new to this forum.

Anyways here is what I have experienced and found so far I have a Dell
Inspiron 640m and a HP Pavilion dv9000 both running Vista and both using
Intel Pro/Wireless 3945abg mini-card's. I too am getting a max signal
strength of 60% and have searched endlessly for a solution but yet to find
one. I think I have narrowed it down to a driver issue for either the
mini-card wan port or the mini-card, most likely the port because I have also
tried another manufacturer's mini-card with no luck.

Now the reason why I think this is the issue is because my brother is also
running Vista on a gateway tablet PC and gets 100% plus a number of other
friends get that result too. After investigating a bit they all use an Intel
Pro/Wireless mini PCI card not to be confused with the mini-card I have.
Also I do have another friend that just got an ASUS laptop with the same
mini-card that I have and also gets 60% signal.

So I guess I now have two choices:
1: Live with it until Microsoft, Intel or whoever is responsible comes up
with a solution.
2: Spend some money and attempt to resolve it with a USB wireless device.
I'm curious to see if this one works I pretty confident it will.

So if anyone can find a solution for this one I would be very grateful
because I really don't want to use an external device.

Kato
