Slow wireless
Hi, basically i have slow wireless internet. It works fine in Vista, Ubuntu, slackware, XP, and in Windows 7 which i upgraded from vista, but in a fresh install of win7 professional i get about half the speed i should.
I am using a Netgear WG111T wireless card to connect to a BTHomeHub for internet. After a restart of the router the downstream speed has gone up by 1mb, but my download speed hasn't increased (from numerous sites, speedtests, etc).
Broadband connection (as listed on router page (IP Address)) is:
Downstream 1,888 Kbps Upstream 448 Kbps
Yet speedtest shows 0.7mb/s down
0.3mb/s up.
I know netgear fail with 64bit drivers still but this worked fine in vista, and upgraded win7, so is there something i'm missing?
