My mini 10 has dell wireless 1397 wlan mini card..whats the fastest speed that it can connect to the internet at? i have a 8 meg download and 512 kb upload, but it only connects at 4 meg if im lucky...

Did you try a speed test connected via wired ethernet? You'd have to have a really bad signal to only get 4Mbit down. I'm guessing your advertised 8Mbit download speed isn't.

Any other SSIDs in range? Sharing the same channel?

What did you use to test the speed?

Try one of these and see if there's a difference:
