Unstable wireless on T61 Vista

I just received a brand new T61. Very Nice!!!
However, the wireless connection fluctuates from 90% to 10% (and sometimes 0%). I don't lose the connection, but the fluctuation really bothers me. Running Vista
Can anyone help? Should I return this to the vendor?
Thanks
Bill

Which wireless card are you using? Access Connections or Windows' wireless networking? Do you have another wireless network you can test on?

Welcome to Vista. What a garbage product.

When did you order your laptop? I have been waiting for a month already!

Ah, it's an Intel. Well, that's part of the problem to begin with. They underperform compared to the Atheros cards.
