My wireless is so slow, but said it's fast

I run an internet speed test and get 20.3 mb/s and other people to connect to the internet very well.

I use a Dell XPS Studio.

But my internet is so slow and loses the connection maybe every 2-5 minutes.

Recently, I took my laptop to a Microsoft Store where technicians held for 10 days and eventually told me nothing was wrong, but even reinstalled Windows 7 for me.

Why my internet is so bad?

I ran several antivirus with essential Protection for Windows scans and it says I have no viruses.

I would take it to a technician, but I can't go without my phone for 10 days to say everything's fine, when it is...

Have you ever been on the Dell site to get the latest WiFi drivers for your laptop model?

  • WRT110 wireless speed too slow

    Wired connection from the computer to my new WRT110 Acer laptop to dual-core with 2 MB of RAM is really very fast.  (G-band) wireless speed is slower than dial-up or slower.  I can't use it yet!  The signal is strong.  How can I improve speed?  My older work laptop Lenovo sitting right next to my Acer wireless connection is very fast.

    No, not the firewall problem.  I changed the MTU of 'auto' on 'manual' and changed default value of 1500 to 1300.  I don't know what an MTU, but it is an improvement of the DRAMATIC speed on wireless.

  • Mail becomes incredibly slow, but only if I download attachments

    Mail becomes incredibly slow, but only if I download attachments (photos, files pdf, etc]

    This has happened a lot lately.

    If I get a message with, say, some photos attached Works Mail very well. However, if I can download files attached to my iMac mail becomes so incredibly slow, even if I delete the email with the files. If I quit Mail and then restart the problem persists... I literally spinning beachball if I want to compose a message... everything still works, but each action takes forever. I tried to rebuild the mailbox, but it does not work. The only way to recover messages to work properly (at normal speed) is to restart the computer.

    All ideas

    Start Safe Mode removes the system caches that can help...

    Follow these steps to start in safe mode.

    1. Start or restart your Mac.
    2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
    3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

    After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.

    To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.

    Then try to download an attachment.

  • I'm trying to set up a wireless network and it is said that something does not work with the driver.

    Hi there tried to hook my laptop up to wireless as ethernet cable keeps me tripping. I am complete technophobe and propably have the only laptop that gets used especially to open the door.

    Thank you
    original title: I hope someone can help technophobe

    It is said that there is something not working only not with the driver

    You probably need to install some network drivers for your wireless card.

    Download drivers

    Visit the manufacturer's Web site and select your computer model (this is usually done in the Support section). You should be able to download drivers for your model. Download the driver (s) and follow the instructions to install - every computer is different, so I can't give you exact directions. You can also try to use Windows Update to get drivers - it is located in the start menu.

  • WAG54GS allows wireless clients to connect but will not assign IP addresses for full connectivity

    I have three XP 3 computers connected between them in a MS home network via a wired hub and access to the internet through a wired connection to a router WAG54GS.  DHCP is enabled on the router, the IP addresses are correctly assigned and internet access to these computers Wired is not a problem.

    In the past, I've connected also with success of laptops to the internet via the feature wireless router, but having not used that for a while, I think now it will not work.  I tried to connect with laptop computers running XP 2 and Vista Home and the problem is the same.  Laptops find broadcasting wireless router and connect but they are not assigned IP addresses during the phase of "Acquiring IP address" resulting in a "Limited or no connectivity message."  Packets are sent to the router, but none are received in return. It is with the strength of the Signal at 73% and the quality of the link to 100%.  Ipconfig displays no deafult assigned gateway and the IP auto configured to be 169.254.96.1 for example.  Ping the router gives "Destination host unreachable".  Not surprisingly, laptops are able to 'see' other computers wired on the MS. network  These laptops connect correctly to the MS network and internet if I change the wired connection.

    If I check the status of the network wireless router configuration good laptops MAC addresses are displayed, but the computer name and the IP address are missing.  I usually use a protection WEP 128 bit on two channels 6 and 13, but it makes no difference if I change this without guarantee, once again the connection occurs, but no IP address is assigned.  DHCP is enabled in the tab for basic configuration of router from 192.168.1.100 with selected up to 50 users DHCP (and DHCP works very well for cable customers).  The IP address of the router is set to 192.168.1.2.  Wi - Fi router is set to "allow everything".  Default settings are used for the parameters wireless advanced, although I tried to reduce the 100 interbval tag at 50 and the RTS and Fragmentation threshold to 2304.  The policy of Internet access on the router is disabled.

    If I have (for purposes of testing only) connect laptops to one of my neighbors secure networks (there are several) to connect laptops very well so I can access the internet, DHCP works great on laptops.  Firmware is v1.00.08 (I looked this modernization, but while I can identify my router version 1.2 downloads talk about types of Annex A and Annex B are mutually exclusive and I'm not clear I have.  I am also doubtful as to if the firmware upgrade would make a difference, because there is no trace of the upgrade solve this kind of problem and I had the Wireless does not work if long ago).  I'm running out of ideas, is there something that I missed?

    Well in this case you can try to upgrade the firmware of your router, go to the website http://www.linksysbycisco.com/UK/en/support/WAG54GS/download...insert of your router model serach tab... select the correct version of your router... Download the firmware file... save this file on the desktop.

    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware of the device: -.

    Click the 'Administration' tab - then click on the 'Upgrade Firmware' under the tab-here, click on 'Browse' and navigate the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
    Wait a few seconds until it shows that "the update is successful," after the upgrade of the firmware, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned to the same page OR it will say 'cannot display the Page.

    Let the empty user name & password use admin lowercase...
    For wireless settings, follow these steps: -.

    Change the interval of tag to 75 > change the Fragmentation threshold to 2304, change the RTS threshold to 2304 > click 'save settings '...

  • WRT160N V2: Wireless works very well, but cable slow and intermittent

    Get speed and very good wireless connection.  But when I connect the ethernet cable, the speed slows down, and half the time I get error message "unable to connect".  I bought this router in Oct 2009 and so don't know if it needs a firmware update.  Based on other posts, I went to IE - Tools - Internet Options - connections - network settings and décliqués the only thing that was clicked: automatically detect settings.  That does not make a difference.  Yesterday, after some advice on another site, I changed ports on the router and it worked very well for a while.  But today, no port doesn't really realize.

    Try upgrading/re-Flash the firmware on your router.

    Connect to the computer with the Ethernet cable to the router.
    Download the latest firmware from the site Web of Linksys and save it to your computer. Open the router configuration page. Click the Administration tab and switch to the sub tab upgrade the Firmware through the firmware file that you have already downloaded and update on your router.
    After upgrading the firmware on the router, it is recommended that you must reset the router and reconfigure. Press and hold the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. Release the reset button and wait 30 seconds. Power cycle the router and reconfigure.

  • C4580 on Macbook. Print the test and scans wireless but said network host is busy when you try to print.

    I installed everything and print a wireless test page. That works, scanning the wireless work. I can see print ink wireless levels but when I try to print the screen I get

    Host "xxx.xxx.x.xxx" network is busy. retrying in 30 seconds...

    But she does not ever print. I think it's just a matter of minor adjustment that anyone has any ideas?

    The test page does not use the computer (uggh) queue service, so often works with the spooler is hung up.

    We will restore the print system:

    -Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
    -Right (Ctrl) click the box of the print queue and select Reset Printing System.
    -Select the sign + to add again. Search for the printer, select it, and wait until the button 'Add' becomes available. Until it clicks.

    If this does not work, you will need to tell me which version of Mac OS X you are using and where you got the HP software.
