frogger Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 This is a posting for my brother. I set him up with a new desktop recently and he was doing fine with everything. I sent him a wifi card, this one actually http://www.rosewill.com/products/d_1280/productDetail.htm and when he went back to his apartment he found that he is getting very slow speeds and very high pings. He gave the card to a roommate to try and his roommate got full speeds(~24mbits) while he was only getting about 3 or 4 mbits. When he uses Ethernet cable, speeds are fine. Range from router doesn't seem to affect it. I had him update his drivers, he has win7x64. nothing seems to affect it at all. I haven't' had much time to diagnose it, but I'm fairly stumped. His network doesn't have security, i had him double check all his network settings and they all should be fine. Most of what i have been able to diagnose or do has been through batch files, because his technical skills are limited. Any ideas would be VERY helpful. I'm kinda stumped.
