hesdeadjim Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Can anyone else confirm that wifi is working better in the beta? I'm pulling down 500k when it usually do 100 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raskren Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I can't confirm. In fact, I'm experiencing the opposite. My connection has become flaky and unstable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randolph Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Yeah, some people in WinBeta that were on wireless was reporting that there 802.11g's were losing connections for no apparent reason. Some even got banned and had to be unbanned...because there connection would drop so frequently, and they kept re-entering the channel lmao. Probably a bug.

figgy Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 My max speed for 802.11g was 10Mbps with WPA enabled. With Vista, now its double that speed. Doesn't make sense because I was absolutely certain the bottleneck is the hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob2687 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I don't know about speed but it connects really fast at start up in vista vs. XP Either the wireless is improved or the generic Broadcom drivers are better than the Linksys ones :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y_notm Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 The networking stack has been completely rewritten so its very possible WiFi has been better optimized in Vista Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
