I've been having a hell of a time with my internet connection. I have Vista, and, yes, I do like it, but I've noticed that my internet connection has been very very very very slow for the past couple months. In fact, it seems like it has been getting worse and worse. I start out really fast, then watch it drop to single-digit k's. UGH! I've done my google-ing for "slow internet on vista" and "internet connection slowing down on vista" and found some stuff (disable autotuning on the tcp interface in netsh (didn't work for me)). Nothing worked. Well, I went into my wireless card configuration and fiddled a bit, but nothing seemed to work. Then, I noticed "WZC IBSS Channel Number" in the properties for the card. It was set on 11. Okay,  sounds fine, let me go look at my router: 6!!! I switched it to 11, and my connection is back up at the expected speed.

So, this post is really just to put this information up on the web in case someone else has this problem and stumbles upon this post. HEY, GOOGLE! INDEX AWAY!
