Cable & wireless problems, slow/no internet
Hi all, I'm new here, I was hoping you could help me.
I'm having problems with my internetconnection on my Windows 7 laptop.
I've bought it new 1 week ago, and I've tried both a wireless and a wired connection. The wireless connection works but is EXTREMELY slow. The cable doesn't work at all, windows just says "unidentified network" and "no internet access", even though it has worked for years on my XP-desktop and Vista-laptop.
I've tried almost everything on this forum and the internet for both problems, unplugging the cable, resetting the IPs, fiddling with options, disabling and enabling IPv6, updating drivers even though they were the most recent version.
The wireless problem may be because it's on a really busy channel, but I haven't tested that yet. First I want my wired connection up and running, because it should be more reliable.
My LAN network card is an atheros ar8152, my wireless a realtek RTL8191SE.
I run Windows Home Premium 64bit. Checked for spy/adware, nothing
