Hello,
I have the following: gigabit wired desktop w/Vista premium and 360, 100mb old desktop with xp, laptop w/ xp and laptop w/Vista basic, also using a wga310n linksys wireless/gigabit router. All is fine w/ everything but Vista laptop. The xp laptop is connecting to the router using wireless-g at adequate speed. The Vista laptop, however, connects to the network just fine with wireless-g, but it runs verrrry slow. Ran a speedtest on laptops and xp one is in broadband range, but the Vista one is only in dialup range. Please Help!! |

I unchecked IPv6. The rest of that stuff is beyond my skill level, I think.
I wasted two hours of my life yesterday on the phone with Dell tech support. The tech tried to tell me that 200kbps was normal with wireless-g, while my xp rig benches 10x that. Very frustrating. I am just not sure about doing all that registry editing and stuff. Thanks "Robert L. (MS-MVP)" wrote: if you turn off the auto tuning, does that improve the speed? This how to may help.

As the how to mention, you can try to disable auto tuning by using this

Robert,
That actually did make a marked improvement. Speedtest went from 200kbs to 1000kps. It is still markedly slower than my xp system, but it is much better. Any other ideas? Thanks a lot ps. I am hoping that sp1 will soon be available and it may make a difference as well. I am guessing there are some drivers that currently won't work because update does not give me an option to upgrade to sp1 on this laptop(I upgraded my desktop with no problems about a month ago) |
