Wired broadband connection problem - Win7 Ult - long time to connect
Hi all,
This one's been driving me crazy since I switched to Win 7 Ultimate.
My system:
Asus H87-Pro mobo,
8GB Ram,
Intel i5-3330 Core i5 CPU,
Asus HD 5450 1GB Silent GDDR3 PCI-E HDCP VGA/DVI/HDMI Video Card,
Netgear DGN1000 Wireless-N Router with Built-in ADSL Modem, 4 ports
Standard garden-variety network card
I installed W7 from scratch on SSD.
Problem:
System connects to internet, eventually. It can take up to 5 to 6 mins from boot-to-desktop until I can access a website. Ditto with email. During this time, the network tray icon has a yellow ! and the Network and Sharing Center shows a red X between the Network and Internet icons. Then suddenly both change to an OK state but there is still a delay of up to 1 minute before I can see a website.
My network setup is basic: PC > DGN1000 > Internet
I've been through whatever I can think of and my network properties appear ok.
Been in touch with my ISP and everything appears ok at their end.
Very grateful for any suggestions. Thanks!
