I have had a really annoying problem with my wireless adapter (Dlink N600) for quite some time and I just can't find a way to fix it. when i first turn my PC on it has 3 bars and download speeds are no more than 1mb/s (megabits), which is very slow. But when I put my PC into sleep mode and then wake it up I get 4-5 bars and can have speeds up to 32mb/s. although if there isn't a lot of wireless activity being done for a bit it goes back to the slow 3 bars. At first I thought this was because my adapter is dual band and it was switching between them, but after using some software I found out it was on the same band the whole time. This has been an annoying issue for quite awhile and i can't seem to find anyone with a similar problem, let alone a solution, and would really appreciate some help.
