If the router came from your ISP you should still be able to flash the firmware. Open up device manager, then write your router and search for new firmware. Also scan your pc with malwarebyte's. Something could be leaching your pc too. Are you using wireless?

 

[rakeshsb]

yes i use wireless but there is no virus,malware,trojans are anything its brand new and i scanned it thought i have internet security too, i think there must be compatibility problems in windows 64 bit but am tryin to know about the router more thank you so mch

oh, and I have comcast. I am starting to think that the installation CD from Comcast did this.. That's my suspect.

I have a Built in N-card Networking. And a cisco wireless N-Router at home..
The internet being picked up at school is just as bad. That why I think it's this HP machine.

I am pretty up to date with my drivers. at less in the last month.

You know how they say slow as dirt? Well. Dirt just outran me in wheel chair on the side of the road.

 

[Frostmourne]

Are you 100% sure you have the latest drivers? Can you roll back the wireless driver to the previous one?

 

[rakeshsb]

i am gonna try it but i am not exactly sure how to roll back to previous wireless drivers

thanks

 

[Frostmourne]

In device manager, locate the wireless driver, then in properties and the driver tab choose roll back.

 

[rakeshsb]

hey i tried to roll it back but the roll back button is currently inactive ,i think it was never updated frm the time i started using the new laptop, i wil try to update if it is goin to work
thanks

 

[Frostmourne]

Then try updating.

 

[rakeshsb]

i updated it but i dint not find any improvement, but the fast has improved now gradually from the date i bought the laptop but when the laptop is idle the download speeds are going down too and when you again load any web page its again raising to considerable levels but never reached my previous laptop used to give me

thanks

 

[Frostmourne]

Did you get the right driver? What is listed in device manager?

 

[rakeshsb]

i just updated by right clicking so i automatically connected to the internet to get the updated drivers and installed

[Frostmourne]

Can you get the newest driver from the manufacturer?

 

[rakeshsb]

[Frostmourne]

What is listed in device manager under network connections?

 

[zigzag3143]
