Satellite A660-14 days - slow internet wireless

Hello

I have the Satellite A660-14 days and if I plug a cable (UTP) the speed of the internet (Firefox, IE, FTP,...) are OK (1,1 MB/s).
But if I use the wireless (Broadcom adapter) network connection, speed is 0.5 MB/s.

All software and drivers are up to date. 'Power save mode' of the wireless adapter is set to "maximum performance".
Firewall and antivirus have been disabled. WiFi signal strength was excellent.
In addition, I have another laptop (not Toshiba) with the same software configuration (OS - Win 7, Antivirus,...) and it works fine with the same router.

I wonder if there are known issues with the Broadcom wireless adapter or its drivers.

Kind regards
Robert

> But Toshiba with its (802.11n) wireless network adapter working so slow (less than half of my old notebook speed). This is not normal. Everything is up-to-date and I also reinstall the NETWORK adapter driver.

Go to-> WLan card device manager-> properties-> Advanced tab
Here you can change the standard 802.11 G only!
Disable in Win 7 the power management of the WLan energy saving options.
This would improve performance

    And preinsatlled Windows 7.

  • Satellite U920T/01Y - very slow internet

    I just bought a U920T Satellite. It runs at very slow speeds of the internet. Speedtest shows generally between 1 and 2 Mbps I have tried other than laptops sitting next to him, I can get a speed of 18-20mbps.

    Y at - it a driver update will fix this or is it a hardware failure it will take to repair?

    Hardware failure?
    I doubt

    First of all, it would be interesting to know what link are you using? LAN or WLan?

    Second: the laptop was connected to the power adapter or its operation with battery?

    Third: internet speed depends on connection internet, server, and all the devices that share the same line so if several laptops and other devices are connected to the same router, the data rate could be lower

  • Question re: parameters of the Optimal high-speed (slow Internet) wireless adapter

    Hi, I recently bought a Dell XPS 8500. The wireless card is a Dell 1703 wireless 802.11b/g/n (2,4 Ghz). Initially the computer wouldn't connect to wireless networks, however after you have reset all used to things (ip, TCP/IPv4 and 6 configurations) and ensuring that the pilots were all the I unchecked the box TCP/IPv6 and I changed the configuration of the wireless adapter and I could connect to my network... about 1/10th of the usual speed. I was wondering if anyone had an idea or optimal for the wireless network card or what settings than to change settings to get my usual download / upload speeds? I have 2 laptops and a desktop computer at home that run on the same router without any problems about 12 Mbps.

    The wireless router that I use is an AVM Fritz! 7930 box.
    I'm not sure if the problem is a Windows 7 problem or a hardware problem.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    What do you mean by referring to "reset the usual stuff"? Could make you it more clear?

    You can try to perform a system restore and see if it helps.

    System Restore can return programs and system files from your PC to a time where everything worked, potentially prevent hours of troubleshooting of headaches. It will not affect your documents, images or other data.

    Please see the link: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/features/system-restore

    I also suggest you to read this article for more information on optimal configuration of wireless in Windows.

  • Satellite A660/15J plaintive high-pitched noise

    I had a Satellite A660/15 days for 3 months, running Windows 7 64 bit. The machine emits a constant noise whining acute (kinda like the sound emitted by the first CRT television sets). The source of the noise seems to be the CPU (it is certainly not the cooling fan or HARD drive). Is this a known issue? If so, how can I stop?

    Since when did you notice this problem?
    I can only say that the friend of me has Satellite A660 but without any strange noises. The laptop is quiet, only the fan makes noises so it s running.

    For me, it sounds like a hardware malfunction, but before contacting an authorized service provider that you can try to fix it yourself by updating the BIOS. This can be found on the official website of Toshiba.

    If it doesn t help I would contact the ASP. Guys you can meet if it s or not normal behavior.

  • Satellite A660 - fan always to the strong

    Hi all

    I bought the Satellite A660-10 days and I love it so far.
    The only problem I have is the fan noise. It is always on 53% of speed even when I do not do anything.
    I wonder if this is normal because I have only an i3 with intel.

    Thank you!

    Please open the power plan you use and go into the advanced settings. Under open Toshiba option method of cooling energy saving, and then assign the value at a minimum. It should reduce the activity of fan and your laptop runs much quieter.

    I also recommend you to use the balanced power plan.

  • Satellite A660 - Internet connection is very slow

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A660-guest 1GT, bought the Poland and I have a problem with the internet. Where I live there is a wireless router and my laptop connects to the wireless but the internet works very slowly. I have a older laptop which I use in parallel on which the internet is much faster. When I clicked on the network and diagnose the problem, there was a message that the connection seems to be broken. In addition, the number of packages I'm sending is twice or three times less than the package I receive.

    I took out the battery, reconfigure power settings, reinstalled both drivers for the LAN and wireless, all uninstalled programs of eternal but the internet is still very slow. I have to wait more than 10 minutes to load a video on youtube. Which, on my old computer, it must be about 1 min. can you please advise me what to do?

    P.S. I donno if that counts. I got Windows 7 in Polish and I installed an English pack with vistalizator,

    Thank you!

    Hey,.

    Is Internet connection too slow when you connect the Ethernet cable? So, you can determine whether the problem is related to the Internet itself router or WLAN connectivity.

    Generally speaking, it is difficult to say something about the WIFI configuration and router. In your case I also get in touch with your internet service provider and ask for the correct router configuration. They can also tell you how to set up the laptop to go online. :)

  • Trouble with a Satellite A660 wireless.

    I just bought a Toshiba Satellite A660.

    I can not connect to wireless internet. The wireless network is on and it is able to pick up wireless networks. I know that I have the right password (I also tried with unsecured networks) The Wireless tries to connect - request the password - and then says 'Unable to connect to the network' and the bar "troubleshooting."

    So far I have tried:
    -Connect to different networks, including friends, school and not protected with the same results.
    -Uninstall and reinstall the Belkin Wireless driver (and making sure that I have the most updated version), restart the computer each time.
    -Restart the router
    -ip renew and refresh

    All the time, it's the same problem. It does not recognize when an incorrect password has been entered, just somehow, it is impossible to make this final connection.

    However, there is also no problem to connect directly to the router with an Ethernet connection.

    All other computers in the House - one of them is a Toshiba Qosmio are works well and can connect. I had endeavoured to put the laptop up to similar parameters like the Qosmio, but also nothing helped.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

  • Turn on wireless - Satellite A660 - 18

    Toshiba Satellite A660 - 18

    I used this laptop to connect to the internet via a wireless connection, since I bought the camera a few months ago 3.
    A little more than a week there is wireless and I have not been able to connect via a wireless connection, cable connection is correct.

    When I check to see what the problem is dialogue "wireless communication is disalbled - please activate the wireless communication switch. Another dialog box also appears when I trouble shoot elsewhere 'Turn on the use of the wireless switch on the front or side of the computer keys or function if it is available to turn on wireless on this computer'.

    I tried with F8 FN - but it says operate the wireless communication switch - as far as I know there is no manual switch for switching wireless power?

    Any help would be fantastic, as it has become a pain.

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    The FN + F8 toggles between the Bluetooth, WiFi, and the WAN.
    Please do not forget that you selected WLan!
    In addition, the WLan led should blink ambler if WLan is enabled.

    If this is not possible, check if the WLan driver update could help solve this problem.

  • Satellite A110-277: can not access the internet wireless

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A110-277. We have wireless internet access in our House and it was workin fine, but since a few days I can not access the internet. My laptop is certainly recognizing internet connection wireless, but through IE or Firefox it just does not connect.

    For some reason, he worked briefly through Firefox, but then that stopped. I don't see what anyone, I have done differently, other than (finally) updated Windows Media Player, but why would that cause problems, I don't know!

    I would really appreciate help as soon as POSSIBLE, that the internet is my lifeline to work!

  • Satellite A660 - WLan Broadcom 802.11n very slow on Win 8

    Hello.

    I have a Satellite A660 PSAW3a 07r00r and my speedtest is usually 12 or 13 MB/s
    After you have installed Windows 8 64 bit, my speed went back to 2 or 3 MB/s.
    All my other computers are still at 12 or 13 MB/s.

    I tried the drivers 64-bit windows 7 as well but no luck.
    It seems to be a common theme when I googled.
    My broadcom driver version is 5.60.48.35.

    Someone at - it solution or something for me to try?

    Thank you, Will.

    Hello

    As I m not wrong the 802.11 standards (B/G/N) WLan wireless card BROADCOM BCM94313 supports.

    What Wlan standard are you using exactly?
    The Wlan standard can be changed in the Device Manager-> card WLan-> properties-> Advanced tab

    Given that the wireless network adapter supports 802.11 B / G and N, the 2.4 Ghz frequency is supported.
    This means that max 54 Mbps transfer rate is supported
    But it's just a theoretical value. You will never get to 54 megabits/s usual speed would be ~20Mbit/s = ~ 2.5Mbyte / s

    As you already get 2 or 3 MB/s, everythign seems to be OK

  • Satellite A660 / 07P - problems with my browsers, internet connection

    Hey guys,.

    I just brought a Satellite A660 / 07P.
    I have problems with my browsers, internet connection.

    After a period of time (varies) my browsers stop to connect to internet.
    Skype works fine, as does my download manager and other internet services.

    When I run an internet system restore works again for a period of time, before picking up the handset.
    I used this happens with all browsers (IE, Firefox and Chrome).

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Ry ~.

    Hi dude

    Skype works fine. Right?

    This means that the laptop is connected properly to the router and the internet connection has been established successfully.
    I think that a firewall can affect the functionality of the browser. Check the firewall settings.

    In addition you should check if other installed 3rd party tools to affect the functionality of the browser.
    Verify installed tools

    last but not least you could clean the operating system. Use the CCleaner.
    Free is nice tools.
