    Wireless isn't loading as fast. Which driver handles it?


    win 7 64x hp
    I open up internet explorer when starting up or restarting but the wireless doesn't catch up with it so you get a no connection and then you have to refresh after about 5 seconds. Here are what are listed on my device manager but I'm not sure which of these handle this and what driver I could update or switch

    Atheros AR8151 PCI Gigabit Ethernet Controller NDIS 6.20
    Intel Centrino Advanced N6205

    Here are my options from Acer:
    Wireless LAN Atheros Wireless LAN Driver 9.0.0.202
    Wireless LAN Broadcom Wireless LAN Driver 5.100.235.19
    Wireless LAN Intel Wireless LAN Driver 14.0.1.2
    Wireless LAN Realtek Wireless LAN Driver 1005.12.0105.2011

    On most laptops. It does take 5 seconds or so for the Wireless to connect and authenticate to your Wireless Router using what ever security you have set.

    To see which Wireless Card you have, Click on Start, in the search box, type Device Manger. Click to open it.
    under network adaptors, click the expantion arrow. It should tell you if it's Atheros, Or Broadcom, etc etc.

    Then check the website for a new driver.

    The Intel one is your wireless adaptor.

    You will want:

    From the ACERS website, as mentioned in your first post.
