Extremely slow internet on fresh install
Hi guys.
I am having a problem with my internet connect on 3 laptops for the last couple of days that I cannot seem to get my head around.
Ill start with the specs. 2 of the laptops are Acer Aspire One netbooks with the following:
Intel Atom 1.6ghz
1GB ram
120GB HDD
Atheros AR5007EG
One of these is an XP install which has been running since new and the other is a windows 7 Home Premium that I put on when i first got it over a year ago. The Windows 7 one has also been formatted and reinstalled a couple of hours ago
The other is a Compaq CQ70 with the following:
Intel T3200
2GB ram
160GB HDD
Atheros AR5700
This laptop has cleanly installed Vista Home premium on it. I have also tried 7 Home Premium with no difference.
The router is a Netgear DGN1000, I have updated to the newest firmware with no luck and have since rolled back to the previous version.
All 3 machines have been running perfectly for quite some time until a couple of days ago, nothing that I know of has changed the setup etc of any of the machines. As i was having problems, 2 out of the 3 laptops were formatted and reinstalled and the router was also reset to factory settings and then setup again.
The problem I am having with these laptops is that they are all extremely slow online and are also only downloading at approximately 150 bps! I have tried updated drivers, changing the router from N to B/G only and nothing seems to be making a difference.
I do have 2 main PC's which are currently working fine, a little bit on the slow side but they are fine in terms of downloading compared to the laptops.
I have tried the laptops connected through Ethernet to the router and they are perfect. I have also tried my WNA3100 adapter out of my PC and again works perfectly.
Any ideas as to what I could try would be greatly appreciated!
