I have been using Vista with my many builds on my Inspiron 9300. My wireless
connection has been great. Now since I’ve been using RC1, my network
connection has gone down to a crawl. I’ve been testing my speed on
http://speedtest.net and my connection is getting around 56kbps down and
512kbps up. Prior it was around 4561kbps down and 500kbps up. Something
has happened and I don’t know how to track this down. On a windows XP
machine using same internet connection my speed is similar to the speeds I
was getting on the previous builds. Any help would be greatly appreciated
because I am very tempted to wait until the final product before using Vista
again.

Thanks for any help

Same for me. Don't have a clue yet. Wireless signal is exellent , but on one
laptop with RC1 installed , browsing the internet is really slow,
Desktop Vista RC1 (wireless) no problem.

Update

I disabled the wirless card on my Dell Inspiron 9300 and enabled the
internal NIC. I plugged into the NIC card and retested my speeds and they
are back to normal. My wireless card is an Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG dated
7/31/2006, driver Version 9.1.0.83.

Anyone know if there are problems with these drivers? I will rollback and
see if this helps the issue.

What access point do you have, there are some known compatibility issues
with Intel adapters and a specific access point.

I found another post and saw disabling wireless encryption could resolve the
issue. I did it and it worked. I'm not certain this is a fix though not
using any encryption.

This is odd to me because I have used every Vista build since the beta2 TP
and have never had any wireless problems before.

Can you wait for 9.1.0.97 or greater to be on Windows Update and see if this
fixes your problem?

Turning off WEP should not be a valid solution.

(As an aside, have you considered WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK? WEP is not a very
secure protocol.)

I am using WPA here and internet access is slow but not ad.
But I do find intranet traffic such as a file transfer extremely slow.
I also have the Intel PRO wireless

Hi Ken,

1. Are you sure that the firmware on your access point is the very latest?

2. Which version of the driver are you using? (9.1.0.97 should have the
latest updates.)

3. Which hardware do you have? 2100/2200/2915/3945? Also which Wireless
access point?

Thanks.

I'm on DSL but have the same problem. Downloads with XP are running at about
50KB/s whereas with Vista I haven't seen more than 8KB/s. 5728 took 24 hours
to download from 5600. Colin

I'm using WPA and have the same problem on 802.11 G or N - my connection
isn't really slow browsing the web or downloading files, it's just on local
traffic trying to play audio/video or transfer files to/from my fileserver.
Also, Explorer kinda chokes a bit while just browsing those folders. I see
in task manager that I'm only using 1-2 percent of my WLAN bandwidth, and an
XP computer doing the same tasks works fine.
