Aiport Extreme N help

[icxnamjah]

Hello, today I just bought an apple airport extreme (n) router. I also bought a belkin n1 wireless card for my PC running windows vista.

My signal strength has been a static excellent with transfer rates of 130mbps.

I am on a 50mb line (verizon fios) and I am getting atrocious download speeds of < 100 kps.

I just updated my firmware and my download speeds burst to 5mbps from a site I frequent a lot, then all downloads after that remained at a pitiful <100 kps.

I have no idea how I can get those previous download speeds back if anybody has any suggestions it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

p.s. If this was already answered, I apologize and have searched prior to posting but to no avail. Thanks again.

oddly enough, all my online games have excellent latency...

only my downloads suffer...:(

More strange are my speed tests that show 30mbps +...what the hell is going on...

Did you download the latest Atheros drivers? Grab those for the AR5008.

If you are overclocking your PCI bus, some wireless cards don't like that.

May I ask what these drivers are for?

My mobo is the EVGA 680i and has not gone thru any overclocking.

Thanks for the help

I thought you were using a Belkin N1 wireless adapter? That's an Atheros card which uses Atheros drivers.

If the low throughput is with wired, then I would make sure you reinstall the latest Nvidia drivers for the 680i.
