adapter Wireless Question

I have a Dell Dimension E520 with a Netgear WPN (TM) Wireless PCI array adapt

I need to update and buy another. I have ultimate Time Warner cable 50mbps, but I get only around 15 Mbps of download speed test

I am running Windows 7 64 bit

My question is... Should which adapter I? model # and brand

Best bang for the buck is 802.11 N USB based better antenna.  Relative speed depends also how far away you are and how many obstacles, are between you and the router.  You seem to be also confuse MEGABITS per second to MEGA BYTES per second, that is almost 10 x difference.  15 meg is the right speed. You are also faster than the slowest connections.  Nothing more 1.5 Meg in both directions is great for video streaming etc..  At 300K per second he starts stuttering and buffering and underneath, it stops, and then crashes every 25 seconds.

A more expensive 802.11 air conditioner will be no faster than if you spend $100 or more on a 802.11ac router.

  • Pavilion PC laptop 15-p061ne: new laptop does not show same adapter wireless network, among other things.

    Hello, my name is Farouk

    So recently I bought this laptop in a store here in Egypt. I saw him and I really liked it. There was a problem, however, it did not come with microsoft windows at all, but he came back. I bought 8 64-bit Windows and installed without any problem at all.

    Now that is the problem, when I came to connect to the Internet, there was possibility to connect to a Wifi hotspot. My only choice was to connect via ethernet cable. Now, I'm sitting here next to my router connected to an ethernet cord, wondering what to do, and I hope I can get some answers here.

    Additional information:

    -L' wireless network adapter appears not slot change adapter settings

    -DXDIAG does not display my NVIDIA graphics card

    -Beats audio does not work

    -J' have a ton of "other devices" in Device Manager

    -The only function keys that work are f1, f7, f8. All others do not work

    -I can not change my brightness

    Hello:

    Your laptop is not supported by HP for Windows 8.  Only 8.1 and 7, 64 bit.

    The "ton of"other devices"in Device Manager," are all devices that need drivers such as the wireless card.

    Problem is there is no W8 driver for the wireless card model that your laptop is.

    See if these drivers wireless and bluetooth works.  If they are not, I highly recommend you use your ethernet connection and take the free update for the windows store W8.1 and then install the relevant drivers you need.

    This package contains the Broadcom Wireless LAN driver that is required to activate the LAN adapter wireless Broadcom integrated in the laptop models running a supported operating system. This package also contains the Broadcom Wireless Utility application.

    File name: sp69014.exe

    This package contains the Broadcom bluetooth driver and software for the laptop models running a supported operating system. Broadcom Bluetooth 4.0 driver is required to activate the bluetooth 4.0 Broadcom devices and is compatible with Broadcom bluetooth 3.0 and earlier versions.

    File name: sp66402.exe

  • Do I have to buy an adapter wireless network in over a wireless router, or there at - it an adapter already installed on the computer?

    OK - I'm not savvy computer whatsoever, I would get that out of the way.  I just got internet at home, and unfortunately it is wired, so I must be connected to the wall if I want to use.  I want to go wireless as soon as possible and find out that I need a wireless router.  My question is, do I need to buy a wireless adapter as well?  Or is something already installed internally on my computer?  I have a Dell Inspiron 1545, Vista, (if it's even relevant information)...  I checked my adapters and it wasn't that anything listed that specifically, 'Wireless', said however, there is "Intel(r) WiFi 1500 AGN" - this could be what I'm looking for?  Otherwise and I just need to buy a separate adapter bitch, please let me know... Thank you very much!

    The 'Intel(r) WiFi 1500 AGN"is a wireless network adapter.  You don't need to buy anything.

  • Network adapter wireless Xbox 360 for use in Windows 7 64 bit?

    I had a load of questions to try to locate the driver for the xbox 360 Wireless network adapter to use on my 64-bit windows computer 7. Is there a rare pilot that I've simply not found? or is there something entirely inconsistent with a material more old xbox 360? (The wireless card is USB and was purchased before the new black slim xbox 360 was introduced, back when is is big heavy and white)

    Basically, I want the network card to give me a wireless connection to my router so I can move this PC in another room without the need of an Ethernet cable.

    The XBox 360 Wireless network adapter seems to work only with the corresponding XBox 360 game console.  Microsoft seems to be releasing a Windows driver.

    However, you should be able to find a completely Windows 7 compatible wireless adapter that must be connected to a USB port.

    In addition, you can add an access port 'Wireless' that will add wireless networks to a router not wireless.

  • Try to install the adapter wireless network on s5503w

    Can need help, someone tell me the solution for my problem on the Pavilion Slimline s5503w wireless network adapter?

    It has an operating system of windows 7, works in 64-bit, 3 GB of RAM, proc AMD140 to 2700 mhz. Have you tried three different suppliers of network adapters wireless Rosewill RNX-N180PCe pci Express 1, TP-Link TL WN781ND pci express 1

    and now finally, Netgear WG111v3. I just want to get the wireless desktop. I have a wireless G of Linksys WRT54G Router, D-Link print server currently works wireless. I have Zone Alarm Firewall and Avira AntiVir Personal Antivirus.

    Yes, windows update is turned on and it's all good. The problem is once the driver software is loaded, then the hardware is installed. Windows never displays the wireless network adapter on any able to pick up a wireless transmitters. The error I get is: an unexpected error has occurred.   Seek to deepen, I read that he was saying that Windows could not set the IP address.

    This would indicate that my software driver wireless network adapter did not work. Yes, I have installed internet access and it indicated on the Internet site, that the cd was the most recent driver so no additional download was necessary, use the cd to install the driver. In addition, went to the Windows 7 compatibility page and the netgear WG 111v3 that my current card is authorized for 64 bit. So, where should I go from here? Oh, yes the s5503w recognizes the hardware in the device mgr. He sees the driver software, it's like something is blocking the final stages of obtaining information IP/MAC of the wireless network adapter.

    Hello:

    I would say that there is a problem with the 3rd party firewall.

    I had the same network Netgear USB v2 card no less, and it works well with my setup of W7 64 bit on my HP PC.

    I recommend you uninstall or disable the ZoneAlarm firewall.

    W7 features of a firewall, your router WRT54G has a hardware firewall. I had one of those too, but moved to the E2000. I assume that your wireless network is secured in some way.  I think that this is your problem.

    Did you know that you can get a free antivirus/antispyware software from Microsoft that works just great?

    Here is the link:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/PC-security/MSE.aspx

    I think that it would cause less problems with my installation of other free software system. I have yet to be disappointed.
