After hours of testing I have discovered that the reason for my extremely slow (unworkably slow) network read speeds on my G74 is actually the built in wireless network card.
I tried a USB wireless dongle and my network read speeds increased by a factor of 12.
I have attatched speed test results for both adapters.
Any ideas how to fix this (other than carrying around a USB dongle with me). or .. even better.. getting ASUS to replace the inbuilt one.
This is a brand new laptop.
N.B. I have uninstalled the original network card several times and updated the driver to latest version.
Thanks.

Are you sure you want to delete this photo. For some reason sometimes, for instance when moving a file from my flash drive to the recycle bin, I get a message that says exactly whats quoted above and rather than storing it in the recycle bin the file is indeed permanently deleted.
