samsung NP530U3C-a04PT wifi problem

Hello,

I bought this laptop 2 days ago and it's already giving me a headache.

The wireless doesn't work as it supposed to do.
It can't load facebook games, it can't load my contact list on hotmail.
Sometimes it loads a portion of the page and stop, making it impossible to use.

I've run all updates and the laptop has all drivers updated.

Any solution regarding wifi centrino 6235?

Thank you. And please help. This is driving me mad.

 

Perhaps it's a Flash issue? Try updating that from Adobe's site.

If not, try connecting via Ethernet to see if it is actually just a wireless issue.

 

Hello,

No, it's not a flash issue. By ethernet works fine. In my other house where I have another router(Hitron BVW 3653) it works fine over 802.11n. But with ZyXEL P-660W-T1 v3 it simply does not work well. Other pc that only have 802.11g work fine with the ZyXEL router. The centrino 6235 doesn't

Any suggestion?

 

Read this thread which relates to the Intel 6235. And my suggestions (some of which are covered by that thread):

1. In the Windows Power Profile set the WiFi adapter to Maximum Performance.
2. Turn off Bluetooth and see if the WiFi works better.
3. Use the Intel driver update utility to see if there is a newer driver than Samsung is offering.
4. Run InSSIDer to check the signal strength and other potentially conflicting WiFi signals.
5. Run Speedtest to check the throughput of your WiFi link.

Problem solved!
Turned Bluetooth off.
Set a channel instead of auto
Mode changed to 802.11b/g
Disabled 802.11n

The zyxel router doesn't have wireless N, so I guess that was causing the problem.

Thank you for your help!

Cheers.

 

It would be useful to try each of those changes individually to find whether they are all necessary. For example, it would be preferable to have the 802.11n mode enabled in case you connect to other routers that support it.
