Internet slow after upgrade to 8.1

I upgraded the OS on my laptop dv-7-7240 HP Envy today from 8 to 8.1 Windows (64-bit), which included 11 Explorer. He went pretty much as expected and everything worked fine except my speed of web slowed to a crawl.    I have disabled all add-ons and reset the Explorer, but that did not help.  Note: I was living slow internet (I'm on cable, by the way) and some other questions that I could not resolved, the main reason I upgraded to 8.1. It resoloved all issues except for the slow internet. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Yes, the problem started then on Windows 8 and continued after the upgrade to Windows 8.1. However, I have since solved the problem, but I'm a little embarrassed to tell how.  After going around the world to try to solve this problem, the solution was right in front of me all the time... the stupid cable modem.  Finally, I noticed that the light on my modem (which is quite old, by the way), were flashes more quickly than they normally.  A call to technical support to my cable company confirmed that I probably have a defective modem. So, I installed a modem new, thinner, and now I am again crusing the net like a champ. The lesson: If your modem is more than five years, beware; they do not last forever. Lesson learned!

Thank you!

  • HP ENVY tilted 23-k000a Touch: terribly slow internet wifi after upgrade to win8.1 - ENVY tilted 23-k000a Touch

    I bought a few weeks ago.

    After upgrading to win8.1, I noticed the speed of internet was slow, I'm on a connection "Ultra-fast VDSL" yet all downloads by wireless are 15 to 25kbs max.

    If I connect the cable to the modem and disconnect the wireless connection, I get 200 to 300 kbs as I should, but then my game of Ryan box can't find my computer, as soon as I reconnect wireless it can.

    OK, maybe two questions here, but to start I would like to help to get the connection wireless operating at the speed it should.

  • WTR320N still slow after upgrade

    Today, I upgraded my LAN 10/100mbps to 100/1000 Mbps Wireless LAN using the Linksys WTR320N with. The initial tests took place without problems. The small local network set up with 2 laptops, router and modem worked well and I plugged in the other systems.

    During the test, the speed of the internet was as before, instantaneous loading of most of the pages (Facebook, Youtube, etc.) and reaches the maximum capable speed, which is 23MBps with a low ping about 30.

    Now, with the entire network, the internetspeed is not top 20MBps more, it sticks to 15-17, which is a loss of 6 Mbps on my connection. After checking on various topics on other forums, I upgraded the firmware of 1.0.0.3 for 1.0.0.4. Who gave a small improvement, but I can't yet reach my speed max, neither a decent ping and pageload time.

    I'm a cable internet provider that requires no password/username to log, so it is a permanent connection. MTU is 1500, and because I don't know what it is (I've seen the expression and change it to 1300/1350. a few times looking for a solution).

    No idea how I can speed up the loadtimes and the internetspeed?

    [EDIT] problems are both on cable in Wi - Fi. The signal strength of the wireless is maximum and never given wired connections problems before.

    Change the MTU to 1365.

    You have already updated the Firmware of the router.

    After upgrading the firmware on the router, it is recommended that you must reset the router and reconfigure the router.

    Press and hold the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. Release the reset and wait for 10 seconds. Power cycle the router and reconfigure the router.

  • Why a sql statement has become slow after upgrade to 11g database

    Hello

    My previous version of the database is 9I and any sql statement are well-developed.
    but after upgrading to 11g database, a sql statement become slowly.

    My senior dba friend told me there are a few different calculating methods from 9i to 11g.
    is any body can explain this different methods from 9i to 11g, and what should be attention to calculate at what level 9i to 11g. I thank.

    Sean

    The administrator of yours is correct. What he meant, 9i, the works of the optimizer with different formulas and 11 g, there are different formulas. PS this sometimes causes when you upgrade from 9i (or even 10g too), analyze the queries that worked with RBO in 9i perfectly and used indexes, all of a sudden they stop using it because the CBO think not that this is a good choice. It would be too difficult to put formulas here by anyone, but what I can say is that to buy a book.
    http://www.Amazon.com/cost-based-Oracle-fundamentals-experts-voice/DP/1590596366

    And practice on 9i, 10g and 11g. It would say a lot of formulas used by oracle.

  • Why is my iphone 6 so slow after upgrade to ios 9.3.4?

    After that upgrade my iphone to ios 9.3.4 6 became incredibly slow and can barely connect to applications such as safari and youtube. I have tried several methods to resolve this problem, like resetting network settings, reconnect to wifi, reboot the phone and same reseting all settings. Reseting my settings also seems to fix the problem for about 10-20 minutes before returning to be very slow. I was hoping someone knew a hand permanently fix this problem is incredibly annoying.

    Thank you

    Try resetting your device. This will not erase your data stored on that device.

    • Press and hold the sleep/wake button
    • Press and hold the Home button
    • Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.

    Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings

    If that doesn't work, restore your device to factory settings. Please note that this will delete the data on your device.

    Take a look this Apple Support article: use iTunes to restore the iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.

    Try to start Firefox in safe mode. This mode disables all extensions, customizations, hardware acceleration, etc., temporarily for the diagnosis and troubleshooting. If Firefox works fine in Safe Mode, then it is probably a problem with the add-on. Restart Firefox in normal mode, and then type "subject: addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions, restart Firefox between each one, until you find the troublemaker. Once you do, you can turn off this add-on and report the problem to the developer of this - on Add.

    Run all Windows updates, install all required service packs, etc.

  • Time Machine extremely slow after upgrade to El Cap

    Time Machine problem with upgrade to Yosemite to El Cap on a laptop MBPr 15 "mid-2012.

    Time Machine backup plan: by wifi or LAN cable for two different hard disks attached to a Mac Mini that is on the local network. Two USB mini drives would serve as a backup for a total of 4 Mac disks at home.

    Behavior of Time Machine in Yosemite: dead normal. Backups were fast (10 Mbit/s in wifi, 80 MB/s when I plugged the MBPr on my LAN using a bolt of lightning for the Ethernet card.) Restored backups (I test them sometimes) fine.

    I upgraded yesterday to El Capitan. Behavior of the time Machine now: excruciatingly slow. All the steps (preparation, backup, cleanup) takes hours. My laptop was connected to the wired LAN for 9 hours now and is only 1.26 GB thanks to a backup of 3.82 GB. Speed (from MenuMeters) is under 10 KB/sec - Yes, it is * kilogram * bytes/s.

    Speed of transfer of files between the two machines via drag & drop is very good, ~80MB/sec both on the LAN, about 12 MB/s in wifi. Laptop computer interacts with the web at normal speeds. It does not appear that Time Machine, which is watered, and only on my laptop of Capitaned newly-El. My other domestic machines (all on Yosemite still) back up normally.

    I tried:

    -power / reboot both machines.

    -power / restart the LAN together.

    -cycle Time Machine power switch in the Prefs system.

    -Remove the two drives as backup targets TM laptop, then re - specify with preferences TM;

    -other things that I found through the search for this problem.

    It is a common problem in judging by the many valuation model who met it. I searched a lot and found nothing that helped me.

    I can't work without a viable backup. For now, I use Carbon Copy Cloner to duplicate my SSD MBPr for an external hard drive. Not really satisfying.

    Did someone solved this problem? Can someone tell me or suggest a solution? Thank you very much!

    Please make a copy of test in the Finder of the source for the backup volume. Is it too slow? Delete the files copied from the backup volume after the test.

  • Usb3 slow after upgrade to win8

    I ve just upgraded my Envy 15-3200 to win 8, and I noticed that my external hd usb3 is mutating very slow (20-30 MB/s).

    I tried to look for a driver on the page driverdownload win8, but not luck. There is one for win7 so, but when I tried to install it, I got a messeage that it had compatibility problems.

    Any ideas?

    Windows 8 has its own built in usb 3.0 drivers. This is why there is no usb 3.0 Windows 8 driver available for download. No need. We used to see something similar with Windows XP Service Pack 2. Previously, you had to load a supplement to usb 2.0 driver, and after that just let Windows control usb 2.0. Check in your device manager and see if you have the 'super speed' usb ports or listed Central. See also if the old usb 3.0 drivers got carried over as a program in the Add/Remove Programs list. If so, remove them. Then restart

    http://community.Spiceworks.com/how_to/show/19650-fixing-USB-3-0-ports-in-Windows-8

    You may need to uninstall the usb ports and hubs as devices and restart just to give the opportunity to load its drivers Windows 8.
