    Internet drops when downloading


    Hi,

    I recently had to reformat my computer and installed a version of Windows 7 onto my desktop. I discovered that when i come to re download some of my games via steam, or watch a video on youtube my internet slowly loses speed and eventually cuts out to limited or no connectivity (goes from 4-5mbps and drops to 40kpbs within about 30 seconds). This is the only computer or device which experiences these issues. I've looked online and tried various fixes which haven't permanently worked. Ive had slight success which has lasted for a night then when it comes to turning the machine back on the next day im right back to square one.

    Any help would be appreciated as I never had this issue before I had to re format.

    Thanks

    Welcome TDawesBCFC to our forum.

    I'm not a expert on this subject but lets get you started until one comes along.

    You state you had to reformat.
    Could you tell us why you had to reformat? What was wrong with your computer that made you to decided to do a reformat?

    Your limited specs show Windows 7 Ultimate x64; where did you get the copy of Windows 7 Ultimate and have you installed all the Windows updates including SP-1?
    Have you activated Windows 7?

    This will also help us help you. Your system specs completed and here is a couple tutorials that should help you.

    Sorry for the late reply, have been at work; Windows 7 is up to date including SP1 and is activacted.

    All drivers are re installed. Ive had vague success with changing some settings (renewing and releasing ip and some other netsh cmds) but it never lasts, within a few hours its back to cutting out.

    I'll get onto filling out my system specs with that tool

    I have been doing a little lurking and searching and I haven't been able to find where Xirrus wifi inspector has been upgraded/update for use with Windows 7.
    Don't know if that matters just some information.

    From post #7

    Thank you for the output.

    No issues with the ipconfig /all.

    What firewall are you using, i see you are using MSE as anti-virus?

    With xirrus i just want you to open it up and post a screenshot please.

    Xirrus can be used with Windows 7.
