High Ping Times - Help

[andyroc]

I am experiencing very poor browser latency with both IE and Firefox. I upgraded from Vista using a Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade disk. My machine is a quad core, 2.2 ghz with 6G Ram and I'm running 64bit and I'm running AVG anti virus.

Since upgrading to Window's 7, both IE and Firefox are very slow, oftentimes pages never open and requiring a refresh. I ran a few ping tests to yahoo and google and have seen times in the thousands or hundreds of thousands milliseconds. I have both a wireless card and ethernet card on this PC and have tried both independently and I experience the same problem. I've also upgraded both the wireless and ethernet drivers and I turned off the IPV6 option on both cards, but nothing seems to help.

I have seen no such problem with another PC (far lower performance machine) that is running XP on the same network.

I'm about ready to give up on my new Window's 7 install, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Just an update folks. It turns out that this is not a Windows 7 problem but rather a problem with my home network that Windows 7 (64 bit) doesn't like, however Windows XP doesn't seem to mind. I moved my problem Windows 7 machine from router 2 to router 1 and the problem of high ping times and browser latency is gone completely. So now I just have to figure out how to configure my routers differently to play nice together.

There are endless posts about how to set up dual routers all over the internet, although this type of set up isn't supported and they are usually problematic, it can be done but it only makes life more difficult in the long run, one little glitch and you end up having to set it up all over again. Of course using a configuration file to restore settings is best in this event.

You would be far better served using an AP "access point" or a switch or bridged AP to set up your network rather than trying to make two routers work.
