Wireless is Slow
I have two laptops one runs XP the other Vista, connecting wirelessly
to a Linksys WA54GS router. On the XP laptop I can download at roughly 2000 kbps but on the Vista laptop the best I can do is a measly 800 kbps. Both laptops are within 10ft of the router with no obstructions, and I am updating every day from Windows Updates. I tried turning off the firewall, and turning off IPv6 but these made no difference. Anyone know how I can get my wireless speed up? -- TF

wrote: 2 things, set the router to G only and on the computer, turn off IPv6 again. Ok tried it but it wasn't any better. how are you testing the wireless? Initially I noticed there was a problem when the Media Center software on my Xbox 360 was very slow. Then I tried using the speed tester on my ISP's web page which downloads a file to your computer and reports the d/l speed. After that I tried connecting the Ethernet cable and testing the XP computer to determine that the problem was with the wireless. Since my last message I've had a chance to try another router (Netgear DG834GT) and the performance is no better, but curiously this router has a 108 Mbs USB wireless dongle and when I use that the speed shoots up, and is very acceptable. So the problem appears to be in the wireless interface on the computer, but at the moment I can't think of anything else to try.

No better I'm afraid - still less than half the expected speed. I actually attached the Ethernet cable because the wireless connection was slow. I also tried turning off the autotune but again it's still very slow. Here's the output of ipconfig /all after a reboot with the ethernet cable unplugged Oh and thanks for taking a look at this!

driver components for the Atheros wireless.

The device manager reports that this is the most up to date driver however tonight I found 7.3.1.109 on the Toshiba website. I gave it a try but it didn't help, and might even have been slower. There are no conflicts reported in the device manager dialog, and it also says that the device is working correctly. Tricky isn't it :-) -- TF

Interesting, there was an update on WU for my Ferrari 5000 Atheros
AR5006EXS NIC in the past 2 weeks or so - 7.3.1.127. Atheros provides a universal driver that covers all of their chipsets (but some vendors, (including apparently Toshiba) opt out of having this universal driver cover wireless NICs in their laptops. If you do a Google search for atheros 7.3.1.127 driver you'll find several sources like http://www.start64.com/index.php?opt...6&Ite mid=105 On Tue, 18 Dec 2007 19:03:40 +0000, Trash Folder wrote: The driver is 7.3.1.61 dated 14/7/2007.
