First of all, Im thinking that getting a Sony was the worse thing I could have done in a million years. I mean Ive been trying to get in contact with someone that will hopefully shed some light on this boring and stupid problem and after calling 4 of 5 different support numbers, registering in 3 different parts of the bloody user-UNfriendly website, waiting for over half an hour for my information to be inserted into the database, calling again a few different numbers can you guess what happens? Im not recognised by the system, "please register and call again". Why on earth must I register to get support for something I bought in the first place? What if my bloody internet is not working and I am without a phone or simply do not want to pay nearly 50p per minute to hear a machine talking to me and telling me I am not registered?
Anyway, now that I got that load off my chest, lets get to the problem:
My computer comes with a Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection that is giving me serious problems when I try to access the internet. My connection is sluggish and most of the times it actually disconnects. Ive searched the web (http://support.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/sb/cs-006205.htm) and found that, according to Intel, the PSP (Power Save Polling) function is causing the problem. Ive followed their instructions on how to disable the PSP but the problem still keeps happening.
Please do not make me believe that the problem lies with the router as there are 3 other computers connected to the same router through wireless and none have any problems whatsoever. Also please do not ask me the brand of the router, model, etc etc because I know the problem is not there. I could provide you with dozens of links for people with all different sorts of routers, modems, even different computers from different brands that all have the same wireless connection hardware and having the same problem as me.
Furthermore, both the router and the computer have the most up-to-date firmware and drivers. Also I have tried a different variety of drivers with no success.
I would gladly post this on Intels website but they say is down to the OEM.
Any help will be appreciated.
