    one thing to be aware of is a lot of ISP's will throttle torrent traffic slowing things way down also read the fine print and make sure there is no bandwidth usage cap a lot of ISP's do that as well if you have used your cap you will get throttled way back until a new month rolls around

    ISP must have put in a custom password ok so what's different on the 7 machine what security software are you using

    what kind of signal strength are you getting

    seems that is using an Intel 5100 wireless card which has had it's share of trouble try going into the adapter properties and set the radio for G only if you can

    if you want the best Kaspersky Internet Security is it it's not free but if you want something free I recommend Comodo Internet Security all I know is like I said every instance I have seen AVG firewall causes problems and it' not a good firewall to begin with
