Speed up wifi on Aspire E1-532

Just bought a laptop computer and disappointed by the speed of the SLOW wifi.  I get superfast internet with wired ethernet cable so I know the problem is with the wifi card. I tried to tweak the settings, but it does not help.

Does anyone got fast wifi by turning off the Qualcomm wireless card in the laptop and install a 3 rd-party wifi adapter that plugs into a USB port, as perhaps a Linksys AE1200?

Did she help?

Matt, you're right about your problem, my e1-510 uses an AR-956 x and the best connection rate I could get was 72 MB on my network, so long as it remained stable which is just one more question, I had an old adapter belkin usb N of 2009 I tried to use a windows driver 7 on Windows 8.1 and I had a connection stable 150 MB which is not bad because that's what it was designed to do so I tried a dlink AC usb and now I connect to 433 MB and everything goes smoothly, all what I do was disable the AR956X driver and use the power adapter of dlink, wasn't sure if the deactivation of the pilot would the bluetooth, but it's not like my nexus 5 always connect via bluetooth without any problem , should point out my router is a router Linksys AC, and since you have a router AC you can use a usb adapter, the AE1200 is an N class adapter that will work, but using an AC adapter, you should achieve a best speed of connection to your router for about the same cost as my Dlink AC costs $30 and with your connection internet speed to what they are You should see better streaming.

My opinion is that the Qualcomm AR956x is a very bad quality wifi, probably used chip cost dear to give wifi connection practical research on the web page of Qualcomm that you won't see again listed the driver updates, you must go to the web page 3rd part to get an update.

In all, I'd go with a usb adapter, only loss lost a usb port, but you will get a better connection speed.

  • Drops randomly in internet speeds on wifi devices

    Hello

    I got an Airport Extreme of 2nd generation (currently with firmware version 7.6.7) for many years before I upgraded to the newer model (6th generation - currently with the firmware 7.7.7) a few months ago. The old model, always worked, so I put up as a range extender. This facility has functioned well until recently I have began to experience drops in the download speeds of 5 to 30 Mbps on my iPhone and the Macbook Air, when should I achieve speeds of 90 Mbps. sometimes drops just connection completely as well. I can do speeds back to normal, if I have the device temporarily forget the network, and then I join it. I do not get these drops in connection on my Mac Mini, which is connected to the 6th generation Airport Extreme by ethernet. Is there anything I can do in the Airport utility to remedy this situation, or y at - it another utility application I should download to diagnose the problem (I found an app that could help called Wifi Explorer -https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wifi-explorer/id494803304?mt=12) or is the most likely problem with the hardware?

    Thank you

    Matthew

    We need to know if the extreme old is configured as a roaming network... IE using extreme new ethernet or it is configured as a wireless extension.

    The original AE and the second... check the basis of EI... both are the A1143... is only single 2.4 ghz band or 5 GHz... they are NOT simultaneous dual-band.

    What installation speed can be extremely (sic) low... The old AE is really too old to be useful when combined with the newest one... you could just ask questions.

    If you need to extend wireless, then in Airport utility, hover your mouse over where it says unknown.

    This will give you the connection of the connection speed... I expect here very poor speeds and the actual file transfer speed will be a 1/3-1/4 of this link speed.

    Some details that I just put in another post.

  • Need help with identification card WiFi Acer Aspire V Nitro VN7 - 792G - 79 LX

    I just got an Acer Aspire V Nitro VN7 - 792 G - 79 LX that I bought recently a few days ago. I'm not thrilled with Windows 10, so I installed Windows 7 x 64 on it, instead. I only had a chance, until I had to go to work (I drive a semitrailer tractor for a living, and I am currently on the road), to find Windows 7 drivers for the network Realtek card in it, and I now need to find Windows 7 x 64 drivers for the WiFi card. I need help to identify the make and model of the wireless card that my laptop has, because when I go to the Acer website and enter my serial number, then search for drivers, it lists drivers for WiFi cards of 4 or 5 and 2 different Bluetooth drivers.

    I'm sure that my Nitro V17 has an Atheros WiFi Qualcomm card, and I found the information on another site (no Acer) that my card Atheros WiFi Qualcomm model number is NFA344.

    Anyone can check that it is correct?

    Thank you!

    RDK

    Hello

    I searched the Intel site and found the solution.

    The reason is Intel card that requires a specific configuration.

    If anyone has the same problem, it is not necessary to do all the steps in the following article:

    http://www.Intel.com/support/wireless/WLAN/4965AGN/sb/CS-025643.htm

    but the most important thing is to have the AES encryption enabled on your computer not TKIP. Good course with WAP.

    That solved my problem (I had TKIP) and after the application of any changes to this article:

    http://www.Intel.com/support/wireless/sb/CS-030709.htm

    I could not connect at all.

    the only thing I needed was encryption AES set wireless management settings - properties > tab: security.

    Luckilly I was able to connect with my router via a mobile phone, because I have no possibility to access router via cable.

    Thick plese this as resolved topis. Thank you to all who have contributed and went to the Intel site.

    Best regards

  • What happens if my speed (airport) wifi is fast but my initial internet is slow?

    I plan to purchase an Airport Express.

    I understand that it will increase my network speed, but it will also stimulate my internet connection?

    No, the AirPort Express cannot receive a signal and make it go faster.  The Express will provide the Internet speed that provides your modem, so the maximum speed of the Internet that provides your network will be limited by the plan you have with your Internet service provider.

  • Problem of e1-731 wifi Acer Aspire

    Hi, first off I hope you guys can help with this probblem and sorry for the long post.

    So that's 3 days ago I reinstalled Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 for my fathers laptop, (Note everythign was working fine b4 that) and after I installed, automatic updates checked I couldn't connect to the internet or wireless internet.

    I installed some drivers of the donkey of portable Cd that it follows:

    Aetheros Lan AR8151L

    Hai Bluettoth_Combo_3rd Wifi 2 x 2 AGN + Bt$.0 Broadcom 43228 + 20702

    I tried to install Realtek Lan drivers it doesn't let me, said something that is not compatible with this os.

    OK, so now are the problems I've tried to solve and everything.

    Run Services and enable WLAN AutoConfig-set to automatic. Done, nothing happened.

    Run Config.msc and sfc / scannow, let it scan at 100%, no error or anything.

    Start-Search Wireless - Manage Wireless networks (says: Wireless is not currently active)

    then I'll add manually connect to a wireless network (says: Windows cannot detect all wireless network interfaces)

    So I'm going to Device Manager - The Bluettoth Radios has one! in a yellow triangle on generic Bluettoth adapter

    -Other devices-Network Controller has even! in the yellow Triangle

    -i connected to my desktop PC internet router cable and connected it to the laptop, I press the update on these 2 options, and it does not update or I would update.

    I went to the control panel of configuration-network and Internet-network connections-change adapter definition thers only 2 options:

    -Local Area Connection (Broadcom virtual wireless adapter)

    -Connection to the LAN 2 (Aetheros AR8151 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet (NDIS 6.20) controller)

    There is no wireless network with wireless icons or anything.

    When I go to the game new connection or network, it gives me 2 options:

    -When I go to connect to the internet, gives me only 1. Broadband or 2. Dialup-

    -When I go to put in place a network: it is said could take 90 seconds to scan, but she never finds anything and that my router is detectable

    I don't really know what to do anymore, what drivers to download or install, I tried a lot, ive been OutSite myself with this for a 3rd day now, I just can't, I'm not known enough to do this, so if any of you could help me, or add me to my Skype and help me stepbystep to tell me exactly what to do id be greatfull Yes.

    [private under the leadership of life]

    I hope you guys can help somehow.

    I think you should try to install it manually from the Device Manager, double-click Bluetooth, updating the drivers, "Browse my computer...". "and look for the correct path.

  • 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.
