It was not working few months ago too then I did cloning as suggested by whitestar_999.... but now it is again causing problems, I am getting speeds of 78-80 kbps instead of 2048 kbps when connected to wi-fi while connecting directly to desktop, speed is normal.

if you can connect to net using wifi then maybe issue is with some wifi setting.try changing & turning off encryption/wifi password.

I had changed wifi encryption from WPA2-PSK [AES] to WPA2-PSK[TKIP] & the problem persists. Removing encryption seems risky as it would open my wifi for anyone. The strange thing is the ISP's login page opens up fast which will no if there's a slow connection. As soon as my session starts, speed is normal but after few minutes it would slow down to 70-80 kbps & remain that way even though the ISP's login page opens up fast.

Try removing the password and see if you can connect. If you can then just re encrypt the router

problem is definitely with wi-fi. Wired conn is giving consistent speeds of 2Mbps whereas under wireless its fluctuating heavily & giving 200kbps avg.

Issue is not with connectivity, its connecting alright.. issue is the speed. Will removing encryption affect the speed of connection?

This was an issue from ISP's side. Their device installed at the ceiling was trying to connect to two of their nearby towers simultaneously. I got to know of this when I connected through wired for hours, the speed would come down drastically. Have got it resolved. Thanks for helping me out
