Slow Internet connection on the desktop. Works great on laptops

I recently bought a desktop running Windows 7 computer. Internet works fine on laptops in our apartment, but it is very slow on my desktop. I can't use an ethernet cable, because our modem is in the other room. Is it possible to adjust the driver, or something to speed up my wireless connection?

Thank you

  • Second slow internet connection of the user

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with the user accounts on my computer.
    Recently, I decided to use the second user account I had, as my main so I made this account administrator. This is because the first main user that was admin had some problems with loading upward (would say that it was not loaded correctly, and after a search on this problem, I thought that this user has been altered) so after the second admin user, I moved all my files etc. However, although the second user account works fine, Internet connection takes awhile to load when I login to it and Internet browsing is much slower than the navigation, I experience on the other account.
    I have not deleted the first user account (which now is not admin), but I'm not on it.
    Someone could think of any reason why this could happen? This is because the former user still exists?  Or could it be something to do with the start-up on the second user programs?
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • To connect to the desktop from the internet view

    Hi all

    I recently installed a view connection Server 5.0 and a manual pool with a single desktop computer in order to access my VMware infrastructure while I'm not at home.

    I redirected the port 443 and 4172 access to connect to the server view and I am able to authenticate but the customer view freezes when I connect to the desktop computer because she needs the internal ip address of the office.

    I don't understand the principle of the use of the customer in view of the internet while each connection to the servers or office uses the internal ip or FQDN address. What did I wrong? What should I do to just plug in my office to view with the client from the internet?

    You must activate the tunnel and the tunnel of PCoIP on the broker for connections (on the admin interface > servers > Connection Broker) and specify the external URL (that you access from internet. for example, vdi.home.com, not the host name internal.)

    You must also specify the external IP address. Is that you expose to the outside.

  • Satellite L655D - slow Internet connection

    I bought a new laptop because my old Inspiron 1501 has problems. The battery is dead, the R button does not work, the hard drive is 40 GB and the RAM maxed out at 2 GB. A Windows Vista.

    So anyway my new laptop has 3 GB, more than 200 GB hard disk, Windows 7 Home Premium. Why so my new laptop slower than my old? The most annoying question is my internet connection. The new Satellite keeps cutting out. In addition, the downloads and uploads are very slow.

    Here are the results of a speed test:
    Old computer: download: 5.02 Mbps, 0.73 MB/s Upload, ping 100 ms
    New Satellite L: download 0.09 Mbps, Upload 0.06 Mbps, ping ms 73

    Needless to say, I'm frustrated.

    Laptops are spaced only 15 feet, and I done speed tests in the five minute intervals. I use a WIFI connection provided by my apartment complex. The old laptop is closer to the window, but the new Satellite L says that I have an excellent connection with five bars. Then I don't understand what the problem is.

  • 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.

  • Apps for download on store window due to a slow internet connection of microsoft servrs

    I just bought a new laptop HP Pavilion Touch Smart 11-e11Onr with little window 8.1 64.   I was in the store window Thursday and download a game, but on Friday, when I try to load another application, it will not download.  I get an error message "cannot complete your purchase due to the slow internet connect, please try again on another connection.   Problem is that my Comcast Modem works fine and my Internet speed is fast.   I went back to Office Max on this problem and they did a speed test on my end, which proved very much, but when they did speed test on the side of Microsoft, that's where the problem is... their connection to the server is too slow.   The shop window is not available since Friday.  When they get this fix so that I can down load more of the store.   My app store Google on my phone works much better than this!

    Can someone please check on both Microsoft and find out what's going on?

    Don't be so quick to deny that the problem I got exactly the same problem as with Time Warner, and I had their techs here at least 15 times. Nothing was found or not corrected until they sent a monitoring on the ground and when he saw that I was running, he told me that they bear not Internet Explorer 9 still and their link didn't work correctly with Windows 8. Hope this helps and if you need another post to help and we will be happy to help you.

  • "Direct connection to the desktop" and external clients

    Hi all

    I'm doing a View 4 u1 installation with a connection to the server and a security server. I just want to confirm with the setting to view administrator, check box "direct connection on the desktop.

    I find that if I check it, then external clients of internet do not work - can see the office pools, but at launch, the customer will see appear in the taskbar, disappear. When I uncheck, all external clients work very well.

    my understanding is that this check box determines whether RDP traffic will be dug by the connection to the server or it will go straigh from the clients to view offices. I though that this setting affects only internal clients. I don't see how it affects external clients that connect through the Security server.

    When you look at 'netstat' of external clients, trying to run the office, I can see the threshold to appear when the customer view disappears, it will also disappear. Looks like when the box is check (direct connection), the client view external attempts to establish the RDP directly on desktop computers, apparently, it won't work. So, how can a direct connection for internal clients only?

    TCP 192.168.20.2:56473 winxp - 04:ms - wbt-Server SYN_SENT

    any ideas?

    Thank you

    Ming

    In our environment, we have our external users (Security Server) use a broker who has direct connect disabled while internal users use a different set of brokers that are defined to use direct connect.
