als2 Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Hi folks, after many years playing about with and fixing computers as a hobby, this is the first post ive placed as im stumped!! Ive stuck to XP for what now seems like eternity as i never liked vista and knew xp inside and out. But recently i had an opportunity get a W7 laptop. Thought this would be cool and let me start to get to grips with W7. But......for whatever reason i cannot get its wireless connection sorted out. It connects perfectly with full strength signals. But, it will happily navigate to most pages but any type of data, be it a speed test, or uploading a tiny word doc, or downloading a pic or program, sees the speed drop to 28kbps??? basically, stopped! Ive tried everything i know but nadda!! On the same network ive a hard wired pc, a hard wired media storage, and two wireless laptops, both around 10 yrs old! lol. They all perform flawlessly at a constant 4mbps. Which makes me pick up my trusty ol xp brick to do anything! lol Any ides on what i might be missing with this??? Any help, much appreciated AL Quote
RandyL Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 It seems your network connection is ok then. Have you checked for newer network drivers? Is Windows fully updated?
