Satellite Pro P300 - very slow WiFi connection

Toshibe Satellite Pro P300 with built in the Atheros AR9281 wireless.

Running Windows 7.

ESET NOD32 Antivirus.

BIOS 2.5

All the latest versions of the drivers installed including the driver Atheros 8.0.0.225.0 wireless.

Wireless is annoying...

Sometimes fails to find the router (Belkin 54g, connected to the Modem cable Motorola (Virgin B/B is the access provider, 10 Mbps)).

When he finds, connects ok, but sometimes it is impossible to browse web pages - just behave as if there is no connection.

Bit torrent works also very slowly (in general 0.5Mbit / s depending on the number of peers etc.). Not a port forwarding issue with the router - using utorrent that indicates that the relevant port is open.

When I connect to the router with an ethernet cable, everything works a treat - much faster and rock solid connection. uTorrent has no hit 10Mbit/s problem at all.

Any suggestions?

Thank you very much...

Alan.

Hello

You should first check if your BIOS is up to date.
If an older version of BIOS is installed then you could update the BIOS.

It is also advisable to update the installed WLan driver.
Here, you can check the available WLan drivers:

  • Satellite Pro M70-132: excellent WiFi connection but the pings are slow

    Hi all...
    My Satellite Pro M70-132 have problems with Wi - Fi connections (WiFi built in)... Generally, when the connection is excellent (indicator of windows), the pings are slow - very long time: 1212ms, 325ms, 645ms, 2112ms, 91ms, s 168ms... etc 'demand time limit has expired' (or sth like this).
    I have updated with the latest version of the Intel WiFi driver - it does not work...
    I installed new system - it does not work...

    Is it possible, that LAN WiFi is dead on my M70-132? How can I check before sending my 'Toshi' to the service?

    (BTW - built-in Bluetooth has been switched off...)

    I was tempted to access with several AP and also ad hoc. Every time, same results... connection strong-great but pings are slow... and often ping timeout...

    The IP address has been set manually and automatically - it does not work... too multidimensional :-(

    It's not metter WEP encryption is enabled, 'on' or 'off' and no authentication method does not change the situation with WLAN...

    Hello

    If the work of WLan connection and you are connected to the router so I guess everything's ok.
    Time to ping depends on not always the strength of the signal.

    If you ping other ip on the net if the time depends on the provider and type of connection.
    But if you ping your WLan router and it s very slow so it s a bit strange.

    If you think there could be something wrong with the Wlan card then you can try asking for help ASP.

  • Satellite Pro U300 very slow opening programs

    Hi all

    I bought a Satellite Pro U300 in February 2008 and I only use it 3 - 4 times since then... It is very slow at the opening of the programs (I have only one statistical program installed) and Web pages and creates problems when I try to download other programs that have a different version of Windows Vista.
    I really regretted buying this phone and I'm looking for someone to sell.

    Until I do, I was wondering if I could uninstall Windows Vista and install Windows XP for example, or do anything else that would make my phone fun to use.

    Hello

    The preinstalled operating system ran slowly because many applications are running in the background.
    My laptop was slow too to experience of applications have been disabled.

    You can disable in MSCONFIG.
    Type msconfig window RUN and check the Startup tab.
    You will find the software that could slow down the operating system.

    With regard to the installation of Win XP.
    Yes, you can also install Win XP. By using the Win XP laptop should be little faster because Win XP doesn t need a lot of material resources.

  • Satellite Pro A100 very slow, especially at the start

    Hi, I just bought a laptop Satellite Pro A100. In general, I'm very happy with it, but I find it very slow especially at startup. It may take more than 5 minutes to be completely started.

    Are there settings or settings that I can do to fix this?

    Hello

    I agree with the previous user of the forum. I often heard that Norton slows down the system quickly. Try to remove it and test it again.

  • Satellite Pro 6100: very slow recharge battery

    I bought a new battery pack for my Satellite Pro 6100 because my old Battery Pack loaded very slowly, about 5 per cent in 12 hours. But it turns out that my other one has the same problem.
    The problem may be the charger or the laptop.
    I already tried to unload the batteries fully.
    Can someone help me.

    Hello

    It is not easy to tell what can be the problem, but if you use the new battery pack and the problem is there, it is possible that electronic power on your laptop is not working properly.

  • Satellite Pro L40 - 14R and WiFi connection

    Hello!

    I have the model Satellite Pro L40 - 14R with Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2. I just installed a driver for the card wireless (Wireless Network Driver Realtek). After that, I can see device correctly installed:

    Realtek RTL8187B Wireless 802.11 g 54Mbps USB 2.0 Network adapt #2

    In the Device Manager under control panel configuration/system in my WinXP.

    I have also installed "Atheros Client Utility".

    But I don't see any net wireless in my range. No net can be detected! The old model of laptop - see multiple numbers of nets wireless in the healthy zone of mind. What is going on?

    [email protected]

    Hello

    First of all, you can use the Atheros Client Utility with the Atheros WLan card.
    You have a Realtek WLan card and this is why I recommend using WLan configuration option clean Windows to configure the WiFi network.

    But let's go to the essentials
    Have you checked if the WiFi network has been correctly activated? I mean you must activate the Wlan switch on the side of books and you must use the FN + F8 key combination!

    First, please check these two functions.

  • Satellite Pro L20 very slow to start

    My computer is old enough to start once connected for the first time. I have norton auto-start and think this may be it slows down, but how do I know what other programs start automatically.

    I noticed that there are a lot of icons in my taskbar. Any ideas if its something to do with that or somethine else entirely?

    Hi Julie,.

    There are two possible locations for the tasks and processes to be configured for a start. The first (and most obvious) is in the folder 'Start-up' that you will see if you click on "Start-> all programs. A shortcut to an application placed here will cause this application to start when Windows loads.

    Less obvious place is in the system registry, and it is where most of the assigned tasks/processes will be. The best way to view these is to use the MSCONFIG function (just click 'Start'-> run and then type MSCONFIG in the command line).

    When the MSCONFIG window opens, simply click on the "Startup" tab and you will see a list of processes displayed with a check box next to each entry. You can select any process you want to start (but make sure you do not stop the tasks necessary for Windows or the configuration of your own laptop). When you accept all changes you want to the system will ask you if you want to restart and your laptop restarts then with the changes you have made in force. Note that, after the reboot, you will be informed that the system has started in diagnostic mode to return to normal just relaunch MSCONFIG and on the tab GENERAL, click on the 'normal' radio button

    There could be different reasons for this:
    -Old WLan driver
    -For WLan of energy economy can be activated.

    Have you tried to update the WLan card driver?
    Have you checked if power save for WLan is assigned to the performance?
    This is possible in the Windows 7 power management

  • Satellite Pro P300-1EC - cannot get wireless to work

    Hello!

    First of all. Excuse me for my English!

    TEC Spec.

    Toshiba Satellite Pro P300-1EC
    Intel WiFi Link 5100
    Windows XP Pro SP3

    I have a big problem. I can't get the wireless LAN working properly.
    And the customer has purchased this computer because his old computer stopped working with WLAN...

    I tried everything I can. And I am a person of educated tech, so I think I should have the knowledge of this, but I do not have.

    Short version.

    1. install the latest drivers. (Also tried more aged)
    2 restart the computer.
    3 WNIC takes about 10 min to find WLAN.
    4. While working perfect with 130Mbps on project N.
    5.i can user logout and change and all.
    6. when I restart I'm back at number 3.

    Long version:

    I installed XP pro since the XP downgrade Cd included and wireless drivers wasn't on that CD so I downloaded them. (And Yes. "This is the correct drivers.)
    After that I installed the driver and restart my computer, I could not find wireless networks. Kind of weird because I have 4 routers/points of WLAN on my company with the range 60-100% and about 3 other public routers without security. I tried to update the drivers to windows update, and WU has found an update for me. I installed driver and the wireless highlight function. I scream YES and restart the computer. Then it stopped working. N° !!!
    I was a little tired on the problem and began installing some other computers that I bought and when I looked the Toshiba computer that I saw that it was connected to my WLAN. Weird, but I thought it worked then I restart the computer again and then his does not work... again! Now, I have analyzedthe problem and it's like that.

    When I start the computer the my WNIC does not any WLAN.
    About 10 min (10m32s) after starting the wireless started working.
    I am able to disconnect and change the user and it still works, but as soon as I restart the computer it stops and I have to wait another 10 minutes. And so on.

    Anyone been trough something like this even if it is not not toshiba or my model?

    Hello

    What is the Satellite Pro P300 - 1EC BIOS is up-to-date?
    Please check everything first.

    You said you are using Draft N did you tried to establish the WiFi connection using other standard WLan as 802.11 A or G?

    I also recommend changing the WiFi channel and try other channels.

    In addition, you can change a WLan option that affects the WLan functionality. You can find these settings in the Device Manager-> card WLan-> properties-> Advanced tab

  • Satellite Pro L630-167 - Win 7 connection to the very slow connection menu

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro L630-167, which is connected to my network works.
    I have this problem where the screen stays just on the Please wait screen, it seems that the laptop is that connects something, but not really do anything.

    However if I had to start the computer in safe mode with network it works fine.

    Any ideas?

    I really need some help here.

    Hello

    Have you noticed the problem even if the laptop is not connected to the network and if you want to load your user profile on Windows 7?

    If this isn't the case, then I guess that it has something to do with the network, and in this case, I recommend asking the network administrator for a few suggestions.

  • Satellite C50D-A-134 - very slow internet connection

    Hello
    In may, I bought a Saturday C50D-A-134.

    From the very beginning. The internet speed is very slow - Wifi or cable.

    That's what I did:

    Installed the latest drivers (LAN and Wifi)
    Installed latest Bios Update

    Contact internet provider: everything is checked - no problem of provider. (my other laptop on the same network speed gets speeds up to 10 times faster. So it really isn't a provider problem.

    There is no adware installed - it is not a problem of viruses (checked with several programs avast - malwarebytes etc.)

    Can someone help me

    The laptop seems to be equipped with 10/100 (10 Mbits / 100Mbit) Base-TX Ethernet LAN module. T
    It modulates Atheros WB335 WLan supports standards 802.11 b/g/n and supports 150Mbps.

    So for me the hardware configuration seems good and to be honest I don't think that there is a hardware / driver problem

    As you have pointed out the similar problem with both modules (WLAN and LAN) I recommend you to reset the router even if other devices are not affected.

    By the way: what do you exactly mean by slow?
    Can you give us a few values?

  • Satellite Pro P300-1AY - screen and keyboard issues

    Satellite Pro P300-1AY

    First and most importantly, I suspect that the backlight may have gone in my laptop screen.
    If, for example, it's just something simple like a loose connection, this is an easy solution?

    Otherwise, no idea how much it would cost for a replacement?

    Secondly, I switch to a different keyboard layout.
    Anyone know where I can find a Belgian AZERTY keyboard for this laptop?

    Thanks x

    > First of all and above all, I suspect that the backlight may have gone in my laptop screen.
    > If, for example, it's just something simple like a loose connection, this is an easy fix

    Hmm. Maybe it's s inverter a FL. The FL inverter is a small part that controls the screen backlight
    Generally disassembly laptop procedure is very delicate and looks like you've never disassembled the laptop so I would not recommend to do anything which could damage the other parts get in touch with a local ASP and ask for help.
    Usually the FL inverter should not be expensive pieces but I have no idea on costs

    > Does anyone know where I can find a Belgian AZERTY keyboard for this laptop?
    and once again all spare parts can be ordered from local ASP.

  • Re: Microphone completely after installing XP on Satellite Pro P300

    My father bought a Satellite Pro P300 that I went down to Windows XP by using the included CD/DVD.
    Later, we found that the internal microphone is very quiet when we tried to use it.
    We need to yell into the microphone to get any sound at all, more like sounds random blip. Type the microphone sounds more scratch.

    All other sound effects are great. speakers work fine. We connected an external microphone to the mine in the laptop and video calls worked without problem, the problem is only with the internal mic.
    I saw that someone else has the same problem in the forum (link: [http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=33844&tstart=0]), but it does not say how or if this problem has been resolved.

    I would really appreciate if someone could give me the fix or a link to the fix to our problem other than plug in an external microphone.

    Hello

    Windows XP supports a microphone amplifier. Have you enabled it?

    Go to control panel-> Audio & Sound Devices-> advance tab press Volume button

    Optionally, select advanced controls

    Then you should see the volume of the microphone. Please set it to a higher value.
    In addition, press the advanced under the microphone button.

    Here, you can mark the micro amp.

  • Satellite L50 - B has slow WiFi speed

    Hello

    I got this laptop last month but I'm really disappointed because it was a bloody slow wifi connection.

    I've already updated my wireless drivers, but nothing happens. The funny thing is I have an another old laptop, but it has a speed great wifi.

    I already try to do a speedtest of them both in the same place at the same time but my acer got 10-15mbps but my toshiba receives only 1-2 Mbps and it is very frustrating.

    I have a Qualcomm Atheros AR956x Wireless Network Adapter and I have read a few problems with this adapter. Please if someone who can help me with my problem.

    I'll sort to buy an external wifi adapter if necessary.

    Using some devices Bluetooth as part of this Satellite phone?
    Bluetooth is turned on? If so, turn the Bluetooth off and test the performance of the WiFi.

    I read in some discussions that the simultaneous use of WiFi and Bluetooth may affect the performance of the Wifi.
