Fast wireless is slow

I don't understand why my wireless is sometimes slow.

  • I have it set on Channel 6, which is not used by one of my neighbors
  • I receive average speeds of 27 Mbps
  • It's a N Router with password security
  • It's nowhere near what anyone that can interfere with the signal
  • The wireless router is new
  • New firmware on router

How will you measure the speed?

Have you updated your wireless network card drivers?

What computer model?

    DSL via a wireless router: slow XP, fast on Vista

    Hello, I just moved into a new House that has DSL service. My Vista laptop connects seamlessly to the network, but my XP machine trickles in at 50-150 Kbps and is flaky. I rebooted everything, power all pedaled, verified and updated the drivers. (Maybe I missed something?)  The specs are all lower. Any thoughts on what is happening?

    Thank you!

  • Wireless is slow on Windows 7 on laptop brand new (Lenovo T510)

    I have a new laptop (Lenovo T510) with Windows 7 Professional.

    The wireless is slow at home and at work. (I use www.speakeasy.net/speedtest for my speed tests.) At home, the wireless speed is about 1 Mbps. My older laptop (Dell Latitude D630) XP gets 14 Mbps or higher on the same network. If I connect directly to my router, I get speeds over 20 Mbps on my new computer laptop.

    I have (even worse) similar results using the connection Wireless at work. I get speeds of 0.4 MB/s wireless, while my laptop Dell (XP) gets 14 Mbps. (Fortunately, I have a wired connection I use at work). At home, however, it is not really practical to use a wire.

    I read through the forums as much as I can find, and I've tried several things... which none have helped. Here is what I tried:

    -Updated all drivers network card.

    -Management settings power change to "maximize performance.

    -Uninstalled software built-in wireless to Lenovo (logins).

    -Played clean boots with all disabled non-Microsoft services.

    -Disabled my software installed antivirus (Kaspersky 6.0)

    The only thing that provided a benefit is disable anti-virus... software but this is only useful at work. At work, if I turn off the antivirus and restart it, I can achieve speeds up to 5 Mbps (remember that my Dell XP laptop always gets 14 Mbps or greater). But, at home, disable the antivirus software does not make a difference.

    Any ideas?

    I finally got it to work. I now get wireless speeds in the range of 7 to 12 Mbps. That's what I did yesterday:

    -Installed all Lenovo ThinkVantage tools - including updates to * all * optional updates.
    -Manually update my network card drivers wireless (Intel Centrino Ultimate - N 6300 AGN) in version 13.1.1.1. (It's at 13.0.0.7 and when I click on update driver, he couldn't find any new tool.) But, I found 13.1.1.1 on an Intel website and installed it.)
    -Uninstalled ThinkVantage Access Connections wireless management software.
    -Disabled 802.11n Mode (it's been activated) under the Advanced tab of my Intel Centrino Ultimate - N 6300 AGN properties. (This amount has contributed to the work. I received fast performance with this active or disabled on my home wireless network after other changes.)
  • Issue wireless and slow graphic on Toshiba laptop

    It must connect to the Internet even I 30Mbit/s so fast connection and sometimes it is not even connect to the Internet from the worst wireless card that I've ever seen of the age.
    And can someone tell me what I have on the wireless settings when I test my speed it will not display the parameters: 356Mbits/s, he jumps, here is a picture where I mean what settings I have to correct this: [http://www.pikipimp.com/pp/pimped_photo/s/image/41/108/213/Sk_rmklipp4.JPG?ts=1233587970173]

    And the second 2 is the graphics card: oh my 6 year old laptop guy girfriends, and he acknowledges so fast when I click to watch videos online on the Internet, but with my NEW Toshiba laptop, I expect age to open video diffrient, here on example: [http://channelchooser.com]
    Why the graphics settings are so old so bad it sounds as if it was a joke, so slow when I play games The Graphic 3D - OMG - why?

    These 2 are not only the problem, but they are more important problem for me that's why I posted them, because there are more question, but it's only under Vista or XP as well?

    In your case I would update the graphics driver and WLAN.
    The two you can find on the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    The image that you posted the question wireless is not available.
    However, I put t know how to access the internet, but it could also be a router issue. Try to update the firmware and check all of the WLAN settings on it and on your laptop.

    On the issue with online videos, I can say that you should try a different browser or plug-in (often you need Adobe Flash Player) is not working properly.
    Check and update software which are required for this.

  • Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG slow wireless

    Hello
    I reformatted my laptop on a wek ago, and since then, I've noticed that my wireless works more slowly than usual.

    Before he was reformatted my download speed is about 240KB, but now it's about 160KB download. It is not the source of the download as my old Toshiba with an external wifi adapter gets about 240KB download the same file.

    I've updated the drivers to those most recent outside, but it has not changed a thing.

    I don't know what I can do and any help will be appreciated.

    Dan

    Hello

    Your Intel Wireless card supports three different modes of WLan: A, B and G
    These three different modes that also supports different speeds.
    In my opinion your use a slow or well the server mode where you download files of does not support a faster speed.

    All WLan settings, you should find in the WLan card properties. He just go to Device Manager, select WLan CAD and click Properties.
    On the Advanced tab, you'll find plenty of options, and there you can choose A, B or G mode.
    Additional I recommend you disable the saving on this card.

  • HP Pavilion G6: Wireless connection slow

    Hello

    Given that I update to windows 10 my wireless connection is slower.

    Test on speedtest.net in my house, dowload speed is at best 1, 5mbps and download 2.5 Mbps (which is strange uploading faster than downloading) and at the same time my other laptop Acer becomes 7, 5mbps download and the same 2.5 Mbit/s in upload. In my house, I have a service of the internet 3G / 4G.

    Hi @miguelsoare,

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems, with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your HP Pavilion Notebook g6 and issues with slow wireless speeds. Here is a link for troubleshooting wireless connection, if you need.

    If the problem persists, I would change the channel on the router. Routers are able to communicate to your laptop on several different channels. Sometimes, this fixes the speeds.

    Some say that it helps to fix this Microsoft Fix it.

    Here is a link to help as well.

    Please let me know how it goes.

    Thank you.

  • Wireless AC slow (and different) read/write speeds

    Hi all

    I just bought a new Mac Mini and unfortunately it is too far from my media server to run an ethernet cable (I just moved) so I use an Airport Extreme (new model with AC Protocol).  But the read speeds seem to be slow I can't broadcast some movies from high on the server bandwidth.  I tested the speed of transfer, and it seems that I get the following:

    READ: 24 MB/s (or 192 MB/s)

    WRITE: 8 MB/s (or 64 Mb/s)

    Can someone explain to me why these speeds are not the same?  And should not be a lot faster?  I get full signal and I joined technical details if this helps to explain anything. I would like to know what speeds you guys get with your Airport Extreme.

    Thank you!

    How far is your Mac to your server?

    There the walls or something in the line of fire?

    Have you tried the 2.4 GHz connection instead?

  • E1200 Wireless is slow (Ethernet is fine)

    I just bought a new router Linksys E1200 to replace a D-Link router, in order to address a problem of Xbox Live. This problem has been resolved with the new router. However, the E1200 wireless connection speeds are very slow, while ethernet speeds are normal.

    Speedtest.NET show me speeds between 0.5 and 2 Mbps instead of the usual 20-25mbps I receive via ethernet and wireless from the D-link download.

    Interestingly, my download speed seems unaffected and remains about 4 Mbps if I connect wirelessly or via ethernet.

    My router is a Linksys E1200 v2 running 2.0.02 build 3. All 3 computers, I am trying to connect are MacBook Pro of variable age from 2007 to 2011. I have the router allows only connections Wireless-N, and encryption is WPA2 Personal.

    Try to go into the QoS (in Administration?) and affecting the disabled WMM. Then, run your tests. Make sure that your computers are not set to N only, or you will lose connectivity. WMM is required for N Wireless to do its job, WMM slows Internet.

  • Wireless is slow on Windows 7 laptop (Lenove T420)

    I've had my laptop for over a year and had no problems, but for a week, wifi has been brutally slow.  When running on ethernet, it is fine.  It started while I was on vacation - so the problem could be related to connecting to a bunch of different wifi networks in hotels, etc., or to bump or drop the laptop and damage the wireless card.  I've been using speedtest.net to test and when I'm on wifi the ping works fine but when it got to download test stalls.  The download speed is tested on ethernet to ~ 8 MB/s

    I searched around on a bunch of other forums and did all the updates appropriate and uninstalled driver Thinkvantage Access Connections, etc. anything.  At this point, it seems that the most likely scenario is a faulty or damaged wireless (Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1000) card, but when I run diagnostic of Intel and Lenovo on tests they spend.  Is there an other issues causing slow or is wifi wireless card problem and should I go ahead and order a new?

  • = Faster wireless?

    I recently bought a Belkin N wireless router, and since it was installed, I noticed that the page loading is noticeable shorter that I lived with a standard ethernet cable.  I have an M1530 with a minimap Intel Next-Gen Wireless-N. This is contrary to what I have always heard, that wireless would be slower than wired... that is for me the logical view also b.

  • v machines are very fast, but so slow network. Advice appreciated...

    Hi all

    I recently installed VMware ESXi 3.5 U3, 123629

    Before getting into the details about the problem I'll give you the specifications that you may want to know

    Motherboard: Supermicro X7DB8

    Processor: 2 x intel LGA771 dual core XEON 3 .2GHz

    Memory: 4 GB

    Storage: Adaptec Ultra320 SCSI RAID card 2020ZCR with 6 32 GB drives in a RAID 5 Configuration configuration

    Network: network FULL DUPLEX 4 x 1000 MB connections (a 80003ES2LAN Ethernet controller built on the motherboard AND a 8254NXX, add in the card installed)

    Everything about the installation was quick and easy. I currently have 3 virtual machines installed.

    computers virtual boot very quickly. pretty much everything on ESXi performance is exceptional. In the console windows pop up when you click them in the start menu as if they were physical boxes.

    BUT

    the one caveat is the network performance...

    I searched these forums looking for answers but have not found anything that solved the problem.

    Here is what I tried, from advice in this forum...

    -


    I enabled HyperThreading in the VI Client and enabled HyperThreading in the BIOS

    I have enabled HyperThreading in the VI Client and disabled HyperThreading in the BIOS

    I've disabled HyperThreading in the VI Client and enabled HyperThreading in the BIOS

    I've disabled HyperThreading in the VI Client and disabled HyperThreading in the BIOS

    and I went through VMwareWolf guide as well...

    When copying to or from a simple windows sharing, I can get about 5 MB a dry... that is terrible, if you consider my network hardware...

    I get the slightly better performance (about 6 MB/sec) if I enable HT in the BIOS and disable in VIClient (this is what its currently set to).

    During a copy operation, I saw my use of the material and on the tops of the cpu around 10%, so I don't think that its associated processor. Machines start and loading programs instantly so I doubt his performance of hard drive no more.

    Before moving to ESXi I was running VMware server 2.0 on windows server 2003 R2 and the performance of the network was very fast... so I am sure, is a driver/configuration problem

    Any help/Suggestions is appreciated

    Thank you

    Sledgezfx

    Hi, I'm running into a similar problem regarding slow speed, but I've seen it happen when I copy things locally, what caught my attention, is that you get the slow speeds when the copy of a VM on another virtual computer on the same host, as someone that should not leave the vSwitch. Pls try to copy the same file from one folder to another on the same drive and tell me how fast are you...

    Thank you!

  • AE is fast while work, slow when rendering...?

    Hello

    I have a strange problem with CS5.5 AE I guess.

    When you are working, everything is super fast. RAM previews are very fast, all right. But when I returned, he gets brutally slow.

    For example, I just had a small Animation with some blur, brightness and exposure, nothing great. in AE, I needed about 30secs for a ("Full") RAM Preview, but when rendered, it takes 10-15 Minutes. It of really strange, isn't it?

    I have a Dual Xeon system with 16cores and 24 GB of RAM; I use 12 hearts for the rendering, 0, 75 GB/piece. Windows 7 x 64 is my OS

    Does anyone know how perhaps tweak it right?

    Looks like you're likely starving your hearts of RAM, which is in turn slows ther make. Each kernel should have 2 GB of RAM for background processing. You are allocating. 75 GB a lot too little. Either try to disable "Made simultaneous multiple images", or increase the allocated RAM / Core, or decrease the number of cores used and adjust the distribution of the RAM as a result.

    Can the BUS network was important if you do a lot of reading/writing on the wire of the main and important of compression/decompression sizes. Ditto for the speed of the drive, however, I don't think one of these is the culprit. I think it's your memory settings.
