wireless network flakey after re-install
HI,
I re-installed W7 onto a new SSD and have issues with my wireless connectivity.
I have a ralink 802.11n wireless lan card with 3.0.2.0 driver from 19/6/2009. Device manager doesn't seem to show me the model number.
I use usenet so can normally max out my broadband connection, but what i'm seeing is my computer struggling to reach the full down load speed and failing to maintain a constant speed sometimes dropping out completely for up to a minute. I have a VPN set up so can normally get round any ISP traffic shaping.
I also struggle to watch you tube video at 480p on my desktop but can stream them at 1080p on my lap top from the same room.
I've tried turning off the VPN and firewall on my desktop to rule them out but it doesn't seem to have an effect.
So hopefully I've singled out the wireless card, is ther anything else it could be?
I've updated my wireless driver to v5.0.5.0 using the files on the ralink website buts its not solved the issue.
Any advice or help???
Thanks.
Andy
