Slow Internet on Windows 7 Notebook Only
Hello, I just bought an ASUS K60IJ today running 64-bit 7. I have another laptop running Vista. My problem is: the download speed and browsing (via wireless) on the new ASUS system is much slower than it is for my other laptop running Vista on the wireless. The difference is a download speed of 0.56megabits/second to 9.65megabits/second, respectively.
The first thing I tried to do was update the drivers for my ATHEROS AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter, listed in Device Manager. I went to the ATHEROS website, and they do not even show any drivers for Windows 7 network adapters. Additionally, I tried the support download page at ASUS, entered in all my system info, and none of the 6 suggested drivers listed under "wireless" were for an Atheros card.
My question is: Is there an updated driver for Windows 7 for the Atheros wireless adapter that I should be able to download? If not, can you think of any reason why I'd have such a discrepancy in internet? Thank you!
