HI,
So I just installed win7 RC as dual boot with vista on my asus n20a. In win7 my internet connection is slow and im only getting dl speeds of 7kb/sec while in vista im getting 1mb/sec dl speeds anyone know why this would be? All my drivers are up to date as well as updates for the OS. Any help would be nice this really sucks
-
If you don't have problems with Vista/XP, then this is an issue only with Windows 7. Did you install your Asus Vista drivers (or Win 7 drivers, if available from Asus)?
-
Well, when I installed win7 it seems like it automatically installed the drivers as everything is working and what not. When I try to install the drivers from the install disc it says that its not compatible with this version of windows and the drivers are for vista. So I dont really know what to do.
-
Have you tried using the have disk method?
-
well, I just downloaded the drivers from the asus website and installed them ,but still slow dl and internet speeds. I dont know whats wrong this really sucks though it takes 20 mins to download at 7mb file I cant take this. There has got to be something wrong.
-
Are all connections slow - wireless and wired?
-
yep, there both slow . It is only slow in win7 I have searched around and it seems quite a feel people have this problem,but I cannot find a solution.
-
Are your network connections configured as home, work, or public?
-
One other thing - since laptops can be finicky creatures, you might have to install Vista system software and/or chipset drivers to get things working right. Install them in compatibility mode (you can copy the drivers from your CD/DVD to your local hard drive, then right click on each and select Vista compatibility mode).
-
Network connections are configured as home. I just tested my connections on speedtest.net and the results are bad really bad. download speed .17Mbps and upload .34Mbps. I really love win7 ,but this is killing it for me.
-
Do this. Install everything included on your driver disc. Report back with results.
-
Ok so today at school I tried out win7 and the internet connection is fine and normal, but when I returned home its back to being slow as crap. So im guessing this has something to do with the setup of my home network maybe? Vista still works perfectly fine though. Any ideas guys?
-
That is most likely the case; any possible culprits that you can think of?
-
honestly I cant think of any I dont know what would be causing this is wierd.
-
gigabyte GN-WI06N-RH This is the wireless card I am using BTW. Anyone have any ideas what I should do?
-
Did you install all of your notebook drivers that are on your CD?
-
yea, I installed all of them. Its gotta be something with the wireless card, driver, or router though. I just dont know if there is a fix for it.
-
well I guys I figured it out. The problem was with my router, I did a firmware upgrade to my router and now it works perfectly. Thanks for all the help you guys.
win7 install now slow internet?
