    Poor wireless performance


    Hi,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro 500-1QT Notebook with Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit installed.

    I am experiencing a really poor wireless performance with this OS, while I wasn't with Windows XP sp3.

    In fact what happens is that the internet connection stops working for a while, than comes back, then stops working again...It's like sobbing.

    I updated all the drivers (especially the wireless adapter one) through windows update, but I still can't get it to work.

    I applied also the optimizations from SpeedGuide.net :: The Broadband Guide, but they didn't help me so much.

    These are my detailed system specs:

    Here are my system specs:

    where do you got those updates? (hotfixes)
    i think you should update your adapter driver..but dont use updates from microsoft..google it yourself..i experience this before..because i update the driver using windows updates..for driver,u should not depend on windows updates

    Unfortunately, I've always had this problem with windows 7, so I have not a driver version that works good on my laptop (Toshiba Satellite Pro L500-1QT).
