Windows 8 slows internet?

I got my new laptop with windows 8 and when I connect to the internet the maximum number is 3 bars, my laptop is 3 meters where I get my internet. My brother has a laptop that is 2 years older than me with windows 7 and it gets full and internet bars perfect all the time! No one knows how to fix this?

Hello, Stanley White,.

Windows 8 would not affect your internet performance in the way you describe. router an is on my desk so my laptop is practically inches apart. I get five bars. My brother, which the laptop is situated5 meters get between 3 and 4 bars. The reason for the reduction is the bathroom wall that separates the two laptops.

Another cause may be electrical interference, strip lighting and televisions. If the router is placed on a book shelf, this can also reduce the performance of signal.

  • Recent problem with very slow internet browsing on all browsers Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit

    Separated from this thread.

    Hi all I'm having the same issues as Theresa in the thread above split. I have Vista Home Premium 32 bit service Pack 2 with all the installed updates (automatically done!).  Within 3 months, this PC at home that was formerly an excellent navigation device became very slow when you browse using IE, Firefox or Chrome. It takes 30 to 50 seconds to load any web page (Yahoo, eBay, etc.). I followed all the instructions suggested to Theresa in SafeMode by Bill Smithers. Resulted in nothing other than a few cookies and Wetherbug I killed. I also run McAfee total protection and Spybot S & D every 3 days with nothing found.

    I have reset my browsers to the specifications of the factory without change.

    Comcast is my internet provider high speed and my speedtest returns 65 - 75 MB/s download and 11 Mbit/s upload very regularly. I connect directly to the bridge. I had Comcast out and they swapped unity Arris of a unit of Cisco beefier but that changes nothing. Other devices on my network domestic perform very well and do not have this problem.

    When I browse a site the CPU spikes up to 88% use in 45 seconds and is stable at 50% usage 1.7 GB memory.

    The only thing I can infer is at this time that something happened to the operating system during automatic updates or some other setting has been changed.  I could use any help or suggestions you may have! Otherwise, I love this OS and have not had any problems. Thanks, Dhoffa

  • 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.

  • Slow Internet but network shares are ok

    First of all, here is my configuration:

    Dell Inspiron 15R (5520) Windows 7 64 bit

    ASUS RT-AC68U

    PSI rated speed: 30Mbps

    All the firmware and drivers are up to date and windows updates are enabled.

    I recently bought a new dual band router and have completed the introduction.

    When I try to connect my laptop to this new router via wifi or ethernet, my internet speed is less than 5 Mbps.

    Shared folder from my laptop to the network is very good and the speed is good too.

    iOS and Android devices to the new road via wifi gets 30Mbps full internet speed.

    When I connect the laptop to the old router (not), my laptop is able to get internet 30Mbps speed.

    Is there something I can do to improve the speed of the internet to my laptop computer connected to the router dual-band new?

    Hello

    I understand that concern you. Let me help you with the issue.

    There could be various factors at the origin of the problem as a firewall router, firmware obsolete, obsolete network drivers, bandwidth, etc.

    Are you experiencing the issue when bypass you the router?

    Some instructions that you can follow as indicated below.

    1. Obstruct free paths between your router and receive computers. Physical obstructions more between your router and computer, the lowest, the wireless signal is likely to be. Place the router in a central location with clear lines of visibility on your computer will help boost the signal.
    2. Use a wireless Repeater. Sometimes, it is not possible to move a router and the computer to create direct sight lines, or a computer may be too far from the router to get a strong signal. A wireless Repeater takes in a wireless signal and sends it with increased resistance to increase the signal. Using a Repeater wireless between your router and your computer sends a signal around obstacles and can improve performance.
    3. Reduce signal interference. Like radios, when two wireless networks are in the same area, they can interfere with each other. If you know that another router wireless is close to you, you can move the router to another area or ask the owner of the other router to move sound.
    4. Reduce the use of the network. Sometimes slow Internet use on a wireless network is not the fault of the network, but that too many users are connected to the network. Disconnect other computers connected to the free network bandwidth, and increase the speed. It is also important to block free riders to connect to your network and slowing of setting up your router password protection. Check the user manual of your router on how to set up a password.

    I suggest you to first change the string in the configuration of the router page and check if the problem persists. If many people in your building using the same channel, then you might notice a slowdown in your Internet speed. Switching to one of these channels will reduce interference and possibly increase your speed.

    If the problem persists, then try to update the firmware on the router in router configuration page. Given that the laptop works very well on old router, maybe the new router requires compatible firmware to allow an intense sound signal from the router again.

    Just reply to us with the State so that we can help you.

  • Connection of slow internet speed of Time capsule

    I have a time Capsule airport of 5th generation 2 TB (802.11 AC) and a modem TP - LINK TD - 8816 ADSL2 (bridged) connected to the TC. In recent weeks, a very slow internet connection has been detected (get the go-ahead in TC and airport utility)

    Of course, I started by judging my ISP but then realizes that configuration back to the modem for PPPoE over Ethernet, the connection achieved expected quotient of internet speed.

    I have reset the TC back to the default settings (to erase all of the current settings) and set it up again with the new and cool settings. Same results.

    For the record: I have experienced same speed slow results at the TC test by wireless or ethernet connections.

    Airport Time Capsule is running 7.7.3

    MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, end 2013) OS X El Capitan 10.11.3

    I came back to use the modem router Zyxel provided by my ISP with internet high speed optimal but misses my TC!

    Thanks in advance for your support.

    I'm in the same boat... There is something seriously wrong with the TC in PPPOE mode. And nothing you can do that on it. Apple has all the controls available in the outside world.

    I got around it by using a modem router or other router between modem bridged and TC.

    In the end I put the TC in static IP mode, and it worked very well with another router.
