Slow Network performance after wake from Sleep

[kncowans]

Hello all

I am having an issue with slow Network performance after my machines wake from sleep.

After a fresh boot of my machines I achieve 30 - 40MB/s (Wired) or 10 - 14MB/s (Wireless N) from my Nas, however, when I resume my machines from Sleep the Network performance falls to 10 - 20KB/s for both the Wired and Wireless machines.

I have found that if I Disable the Network Adapters and then immediately Re-Enable them my Netwok speed is restored.

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate x86 and x64 with Realtek and Atheros Nics.

All Drivers on all machines are upto date.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Kevin

not sure if it's been fixed yet... windows 7 "sleep" is a killer. I suggest turning sleep off and just just turning the monitors off after a set ammount of time.

Hello,

You may also disable Power Saving Mode of the Network Adapter from Device Manager.

Hello

Thanks for the replies.

Unfortunately leaving the machines on 24/7 is not an option and the Power Saving Mode is already Disabled on all machines.

It seems that the issue may be Windows 7 related so hopefully SP1 will fix it, maybe.

Thanks

Kevin
