Wireless Card Going Slow

[carlosvega1]

I have been noticing that My internet has been going slow the past couple of weeks. I recently got a new wireless card and have the most updated settings. It seemed to be working fine until recently. I checked with my ISP and with speedtests on a mac on the same network i am getting 11+ speeds to download, while my windows 7 pc is getting roughly 1-5.. mostly 1.5 at the moment. I was wondering if there was some settings that got messed up?


I just plugged in my usb wireless adapter for the same pc and I was getting speeds of 11.. So it has to be some kind of setting with my PCI wireless card.. Or it is defective.. The reason I switched to PCI was that whenever My computer would go to sleep (with my usb wirless adapter) and I would turn it on, It would freeze..


It is a Rosewill RNX-G300LX, which comes to having a ralink t61 turbo wireless driver..


Thanks for the help in advance,
Carlos

If you are using any security/antivirus/firewall try disabling them and trying again.

If it is one of those items we can suggest functional free replacements.

well it worked with one wireless card and not the pci one.. with firewall and antivirus on

sounds like outdated drivers, a lot of the wifi devices have bad win 7 drivers. If you dig into the manufacturer's website you may find software/driver updates there.
