My internet connection is slow. Downloads at 25-52 kb/s. How do I speed it up. Flag p2-1033w. Windows 7 64-bit.

Scientists, welcome to the forum.

It is a problem that could be better solved by your ISP.  They have an incentive to keep you happy.

I use CenturyLink DSL.  I'm supposed to download to 7Mbps.  However, most of the time it's around 5 Mbps.  Whenever it drops below this figure, I reboot the modem and if this does not help, call the Customer Service at the CL.  They perform part of their magic and it works well again until the next time.  Of course, they make me jump through hoops to make sure that it is not my computer at the origin of the problem.

  • I'm on a slow internet connection I can download cc photoshop directly to a different location for installation?

    Hello, I am trying to get photoshop installed on a computer at a place with slow internet and it takes much too long. Can I download it somehow when I'm somewhere else to install here? I can't find anything about it?

    Blaine91555 thanks for the update.  Managed networks often show performance slowed due to configuration errors, that's why I assumed it was a configuration problem.

ProDesignTools.  It would need then only allows you to download the updates that are applicable on the local computer after installation.  There are also directions available to directly download updates, but I recommend by the automatic process to ensure that you receive applicable updates.

  • Photosmart 5520: Not internet connection post update download

    5520 new. Connected to internet and downloaded straightup update. Now I get "server connection error... check the connection etc. This is done via the touchpad printer so the browser interface. Then... no ePrint or possible applications. Direct wireless for devices works fine.

    Could it be a corrupted download of update? Anyway to force a reinstall?

    Any thoughts?

    Let's define an external static IP and DNS address for the printer:

    -Print a the front of the printer Network Setup Page. Note the IP address of the printer.
    -Enter the IP address in a browser to reveal the internal settings of the printer.
    -Choose the network tab, then wireless along the left side, then on the IPv4 tab.
    -On this screen, you want to set a manual IP address. You must assign an IP address outside the range that the router sets automatically (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') 250
    -Apply the subnet 255.255.255.0 (unless you know it's different, if so, use it)
    -Enter the IP of your router (on the Page of the Network Config) for the gateway.
    -Enter for the first DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for second DNS. It's Google DNS. You can choose a different external DNS if you wish.
    -Click 'apply '.

    Now, stop the router and printer, start the router, wait, and then start printing.

    After that, you will have to redo 'Add printer' using the new IP address.

  • WRT54GL: Fast cable internet connection; very slow wireless

    I have been chasing a problem for months and I am at the end of my mind.

    I started with a cable modem Motorola SB5101 and Buffalo bison wrt-hp-g54.  For years, we had a (intermittent) desperately slow wireless connectivity.  Recently I started to run through Speakeasy.NET speed tests to try to find a motive.

    Wire speed is consistently running 15-16 Mbit/s, compatible with the speed promised our cable package.

    Wireless speeds were a different matter.  From multiple computers, they would sometimes as soon as the wire speed; then all of a sudden (from all wireless computers) the speed would fall to 0.5 Mbit/s or less, then the speed measured on our single wired computer remained at 15 Mbps.

    Restart the router would mitigate the problem for a while, and then the wireless would fall up to 0.5 Mbps.

    Wire speed would remain stable at the nominal 15 Mbit/s.

    Well, looked like a bad router.  I replaced it with a WRT54GL hardware version 1.1.  I've updated the firmware to the last - v4.30.16.

    I selected a channel (2) wireless network what inSSIDer 3 watch is not used by any neighboring router (i.e., no interference).  I have that checked regularly and am sure that interference is not the problem.  The router is configured for the wireless G only; WPA - AES.

    The same problem occurs with the new Linksys router.

    In desperation I replaced the old modem SB5101 with a new SB6141 cable, not believing there could be everything possible that could help but, this what the devil - we will eliminate it as a factor as possible and go to DOCSIS 2.0 to DOCSIS 3.0.

    The problem persists.

    Thus, new router, cable modem brand new, constant wire-speed, without strong signals wireless, channel interference all around. but the problem persists. There has been no improvement on the old hardware I used.

    All computers, but a (XP Pro) is running Windows 7 Pro.

    The problem is not predictable, except that the speed degradation will happen sooner or later - and this is not progressive.  Suddenly, he fell like a stone and sticks to 0.4 to 0.5 Mbits/sec.  Reboot the router (usually) will fix it for a while, and sometimes it will clear up on its own, given enough time.

    I ran inSSIDer several times while this is happening, but he sees no other no signal on the channel I use--in fact, none on adjacent channels either.

    I checked from wireless to the router table and there is no other than our device, so it does not appear that the network has been hacked.

    Does anyone have an idea what might be going on or suggest an action plan?

    The only thing I can think is that there is something between the router and the computers wireless in the House which is eating up 95% of the bandwidth wireless - a sort of voting out of control.  But what?  I'm completely stuck.

    Follow-up.  I changed the channel 1 wireless; After doing some research I realized that sharing a channel (as long as your signal is at least 20 dB louder) causes fewer conflicts overlapping channels.  I have not changed anything else.  I'm tempted to allow the break-up of the frame but implementation of that seems to be somewhat specific to the supplier so I'll let it be.  In any event the wireless speed now as fast as the wire speed.

    The result is that since the re - install the Linksys firmware and do a hard reset that I saw not a single instance of the speed problem.  So I still don't know exactly what caused in the first place, but I'm glad that the problem has disappeared, so I'll just let things be.

    Thank you!

  • Slow Internet connection on Windows 7

    I have Windows 7 Home installed in my HP laptop. Web brosing speed is too slow on the PC. I have a fiber optic internet connection which has max of 16 Mbps download speed. The internet speed is good and reaches sometimes up to 10 Mbit/s, while it barely reaches 2 Mbit/s in normal mode. Most of the programs I uninstalled, run the registry cleaner by Norton, Scanner Malware bytes, regularly updated Norton antivirus definitions. I also installed only a few program - MS Office 2010, Norton Antivirus, Real Networks, itunes and HP provided software preinstalled with the laptop. Internet activity is limited to a few Bank sites and youtube. Like all the anti virus scan, spyware scans were not able to detect any virus or spyware, I'm at a loss to find any reason for the slow internet speeds. The speed of the internet is amazing when I use my tab Thosibha or on my smart phone Sony. Any ideas please.

    I have this noted in may 2013 and unfortunately do not have the restore point beyond June 2013.
