Wireless download speed ~.38 Mbs

[jabingb]

My wireless download speed has dropped to about .38Mbs since I installed Win7Pro64bit. I've troubleshot with MS, HP and AT&T and still no luck. Wired it's about 1.4 Mbs so there is something amiss. Have the latest wifi driver, no router, just an AT&T/2Wire modem, 2901HG.

 

[valtonray]

can we get your system specs?

 

[aem]

I would double check that you have the correct driver installed. Refer to first tut in my sig. I have been cought with installing a compatible driver, as appose to the latest and greatest.

 

[jabingb]

I've bee through the driver drill with both HP and MS. It's an Artheros AR5009 and I can find no other driver when I search for one. Re the system spec, where do I get a concise report of that, 3GB RAM, HP DV5Z-1000?

 

[valtonray]

a program like Lavalys - Comprehensive IT Security and Management or Hardwaremania BlackBox | slogan both free will give you everything you need. these are good to have if your ever having problems they can really help people find exactly what they need.

 

[jabingb]

I just completed a report via Lavalys and it is BIG. Do you really want me to post that, if I can, or could you be more explicit what I should retrieve.

 

[jabingb]

I'll post anything to assist with the discussion of my problem, I simply need a little guidance of what and how to provide that info.

OK, here goes, this is what I have extracted with BlackBox...

Ughh, 2wire modems FTL.

Something tells me that thing could be the culprit.

At you wired or wireless to that modem/router combo?

 

[jabingb]

Wireless is the prob, wired to it is OK. Previous to the Win7 upgrade running Vista wireless OK. Another XP netbook wireless OK, visitors running Vista wireless OK. A Vista desktop wired is OK.

 

[TGSoldier]

You're saying that no matter what you try to download, and from what site you try to download it from.. It downloads at .38mbs/sec?

 

[jabingb]

I'm basing this metric on speedtest.net. The wireless performance is so degraded that I don't try much, just plug in the ethernet cable and away I go.

 

[jabingb]

To an earlier post, I called 2Wire this morning and discussed the issue. They said there was nothing amiss with the 2701HG-B and was it had the current o/s.

 

[jabingb]

I got a new 2701HG 2Wire modem/gateway from the AT&T store Friday and hooked it up. Initially the download speed popped back up to the hardwire speed of ~ 1.35Mbs, but yesterday and today it is back to its old lethargic ~.35Mbs. Called an AT&T 2nd level tech (US based) this morning and concluded that it is probably NOT the modem/gateway problem but am at a loss to understand what else it might be, HP says I have the latest driver for the wireless adapter, an Atheros AR5009. Until I upgraded to Win764bitpro from Vista all was well. My XP netbook accessing the same network runs at ~ 1.35Mbs, wireless or wired.
