Why is my WIFI so slow after update to windows 8?

I have just updated to windows 7 to windows 8. Now whenever I do a speed test I get only like 2 mb a second download speed. Before I was getting about 32 MB dry. I tried the speed test accurate on my other computer with windows 7 and its getting about 32 MB sec. I restarted my router and all the normal things that you would try to solve this problem. I plugged the Ethernet cable on my computer, and that you know 33 MB a dry so there must be a problem with the WIFI driver on windows 8, or something. Does anyone else have this problem. Help, please!

OK, so the only way I could solve the problem was to find the driver for windows 7 and install it instead of one that comes with windows 8. Windows 8, should not have been designed for my Hp. After doing that my internet was again up to 33 MB a s I hope this will help all of you others out there with this problem. Run a speed test on speedtest.net to make sure that

  • HP Color LaserJet MFP M176 Pro: No printing on HP Color LaserJet MFP M176 Pro after update of Windows 10 anniversary update

    My HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M176 does not print after update of Windows 10 anniversary update. I've updated two computers (HP Compaq Elite SFF 8300 and E6320 Dell), Hp with 2013 installed Office and Dell with Office 2010 installed. The printer is connected to my network. The latest "complete solution drivers' HP was installed before the upgrade. Printer does not printer-> Printtest properties, error notification appears and asks me if I want to troubleshoot the error. I can see the printjob in the spooler, but it is immediately deleted. Does not print any programs I've tried, with the exception of the notebook HP Print and Scan Doctor! When I troubleshoot with Windows printtroubleshooter, no problems found. Same thing with HP print and scan the doctor.

    I uninstalled all the drivers and the Hp programs, rebooted and installed "drivers complete solution." Same problem!

    On the Dell computer, I made a new clean install of Windows 10 Anniversery update, from a USB key. Office 2010 installed and 'full pilot solution again'. Same problem!

    On August 18, 2016, I found new drivers on Hp. new downloaded web pages "complete solution drivers still" uninstalled all the drivers and the Hp programs, rebooted and installed "drivers complete solution." Same problem!

    Among the many solutions, I tried turning the firewall. No help.

    I know that brother Corp has sent an email to their customers, there are big problems with their printers/drivers and the anniversary 10 Windows Update. Same problem with Hp printers/drivers?

    Someone who has a solution?

    Hello!

    Thanks for your suggestion of a solution!

    First of all, it fixed my problem of printing when I tried with a new user on both computers. Yet, I was a little confused that two updates and an installstion clean "updated anniversary" should lead to a curropted user profile!

    Then when I did what I always be with new computers/users, to the environment variables 'TMP' and 'TEMP' C:\Temp for the new user. Printing stops again. Extract a little more and found that users on C:\Temp needed to be 'total control '. 'Change' was not enough. Perhaps one of the new things in birthday update?

    In any case, there where the pleasure with your help!

    Hi gabriela86,

    Thanks for posting a response to answers.microsoft.com

    Instead of re - install Windows, why not try using the boot minimum process to refine and isolate what is causing the slowness of the system, be it a program or a service.

    Here is a link to troubleshooting with the boot process.  Try step 1, and then see if you encounter the problem, otherwise go to step 2 and so on and so forth until the issue is isolated when it is isolated post causing the hang up in the forum and we you search with you.

    After the diagnosis is made, please make sure to follow step 7 in the boot process to ensure that you have your system booted to a Normal State.

    Starting in MINIMAL MODE troubleshooting section: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796

    Thanks again for posting on the forum.  Please let us know on this issue so that we can help you.

  • WiFi does not work after update of windows (Windows 8)

    Last night, updated my (laptop) windows and when turn it on this morning the wifi no longer works. Ive tried many things; Uninstalling the drivers, reinstall, reset the default bios settings, back up the updated driver, updating the computer, etc.. I have no idea what to do here. Before updating the system, I got windows 8.1 but now she's back to windows 8 after the update. Help, please. The only option I can think of right now is updated the bios but I'm scared to do it properly. Here are some of my information system:

    Windows 8

    64-bit operating system

    model - gateway NV52L 15u

    BIOS - gateway V 2.02

  • WiFi signal is completely lost after update of Windows 8

    Hello

    My new Asus PC with Windows 8 and wifi works well until I did update of windows, after updating my wifi signal was completely gone, I made the sentence that tells me that my internet cable is not connected, he sees not my wifi in all more than shooting.

    I reset my computer and wifi still works, however, I am very concerned to make the necessary update yet as I need internet and I can't afford to keep downloading updates on and more.

    I'm not familiar with windows, as I've been with apple over the years, please help with this problem because I am completely at a loss as what to do next.

    I look forward eagerly for your help with my problem.

    Thank you

    I had this same problem. I have a PC HP, but the solution for yours should be similar. I downloaded the form from their Web site Intel wireless driver update, and it solved my problem.

    Here's what I did:

    1. Forehand app, open the 'search '.
    2. Select 'Settings' as the place of your search
    3. Search for 'Pilot' (without the quotes)
    4. Click on "Update device drivers"
    5. Scroll down to "network adapters."
    6. See if there is a Intel. Mine is called "Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 #2. Want to know what it's called.
    7. Google search (on another computer, or use a network cable to attach your PC physically) for all that your card has been called. I searched "intel centrino wireless-n 2230.
    8. Click on the result of intel.com. He expected to be the first, but it's the one you want.
    9. You will be at the product page. There is a bar on the side with a link called 'Information of Support' in there. Click on that.
    10. Click on "Intel PROSet Wireless software and drivers for Windows 8"
    11. There should be a bunch of links to download the software. You want the number of bits that correspond to your system. (32 bit systems / x 86 get the 32-bit software, 64 bits of the system gets 64-bit software)
    12. Once downloaded, run the software. If you have downloaded the driver on another computer, you need to transfer via on a USB stick or something before you install it.
    13. The software should do its thing and then ask to reboot. Do it.
    14. You should be good to go. Good luck, and I hope it helps.
