Again, try to stay away from Microsoft Update's hardware driver updates. Some might have a High Speed setting or something similar. If all else fails, you could try disabling Network Auto-Tuning. Restart your PC after running this command. After it reboots, try the network transfer again. If speeds are still unsatisfactory, you can "undo" or return the auto-tuning to default mode by using the following command:.
Works on x86 and x64 systems. Home Windows General Windows How-tos. General Windows. Stick to OSX if you want easy. Thank you very very much! Has anyone with the Broadcom network driver figured out a fix yet? A brand new computer not even being able to upload or download anything reasonably is so frustrating!
It should not be up to us, customers, to figure out the secrets of Windows Vista. It should not be up to Microsoft to penalize us, customers, for having to use this horrible OS. Computers are already at a stage that every child must use it, and it should be made easier, not more complex to use.
Everyone does not have an IT on staff. Hello initially i had absolutely no problems with my vista ultimate nor networking issues until…2 days ago. Im runing the intel core 2 processor with 2.
I read all of the posts here and on various websites over the last 24 hours and nothing seems to come to my aid. Im noticing a drastic drop in speed where i would generally get lightning fast speeds when downloading and exploring now the downloads will start at the accelerated rate and all of a sudden go back to a crawl just as everyone above me has described.
Late last night i decided to take it upon myself to attempt one last thing before decided to format the hard drive and say enough with vista for right now and decided i would uninstall all items associated with my board and plug in play devices. Fuzzybear try doing what i did as i see this is the only fix until the driver updates are sufficient. THru process of elimination my onboard sound card, which i dont even use, or some other device caused the poor performance of my networking so try uninstalling all of those devices, not just the networking card, and then reinstall them with older drivers as it should work.
Thanks to all, we bought a new Dell, got the wirelsess connection working but internet was so slow images would barely apear. Finaly my wonderful big brother suggested that it might be a conflict with which network adapter it uses. On the left menu choose All Processes, then choose the Detection tab.
Un check scanning of Network Drives, and then at the bottom of this window, add the drives your are transferring from to the Exclude section by browsing to that drive. Be sure to select Include Subfolders. Do this on both PCs. This will temporarily fix your transfer problem. Once you are done. Change the settings back if you desire to do so. What did help was replacing the firmware with an open source version, called dd-wrt. Go to dd-wrt. Then enjoy your nice, functioning internet! Best decision I ever made.
New computer running Vista, I like it, however I have slow network downloads. I have run a speed test kbps and kbps. Is this normal?? My neighbour can download a 2 G file off the net in 30 minutes or less but mine takes days??
Please help! My eyes are getting tired. To Krys Neighbor has a faster service is a possibility. Downloading the same file in 30 secs? You should be fine, if that speed is what your ISP promises. Im having the same problems, I just bought a new Dell Dimension with Vista, totally crap download speeds, but I have a laptop with Vista and a laptop with XP and their download speeds are fine, all running from the same router, cant figure out whats different about the new one, uninstalled McAfee.
I cant believe Internet through Vista is actually running at normal speeds. I tried disabling encryption, all firewalls and anti virus, rolling back the driver-nothing prevailed. After reading the posts, focus shifted back to wireless driver. I uninstalled the Atheros wireless driver. Since Vista auto reinstalls, I rebooted then uninstalled a second time-this 2nd time Vista prompted for a reboot. Before the uninstalls, I deleted a wireless driver listed in programs and features in Control Panel -I believe this may have been key.
I never fathomed connecting to a wireless network could be so tedious. Thanks to all the great advice. The First time I tried to set up a newtowk using a crosswire cable. Tried to set up the network again and managed to get the two computers to connect using the crosswire cable but when I check for shared files there was only the music file with 23 folders in it which is about half the amount that should be there.
There was no mention of my shared documents or anything. Tried then again to do a Easy Transfer using a netwok cable which states the speed is mps but it is incredibly slow and would takes hours if not days. Is there an easier way to transfer all my music including itunes folder , documents, and photos which I have a lot of to my new laptop? Finally I rang Dell because the Computer is only a week old, and realistically its their problem, bingo fingers crossed they admitted to having problems with the broadcom wireless adapter that came with my dell, they sent me a new belkin adapter and straight away things went back to normal.
It got a signal and could browse the internet etc, however it was SLOW! I emailed D-Link and they suggested changing the channel on the router, It was on channel 1, I changed to channel 10 and speed went straight back up, more than perfect!
No driver issues or Microsoft update affecting it. Just the channel! Hope this helps some people! This is a known issue in their product, yet they do not readily make this information available on their website.
Vista in itself is also a crappy OS. There are way too many things to list here that you need to do in order to get it to run at an acceptable speed. Most of which have included running many third party utilities to test and tweak and settings in the OS. On a side note, I think it comical that both Dell and McAfee, being in bed together on this issue, have not made the speed issues known to their customers, not even on their websites. This issue is almost a year old and neither Dell nor McAfee have been able to provide a fix.
Also, for Internet usage, consider using Mozilla Firefox. Vista is just a piece of junk. None of the above solved my issue. Waste of money. Turned off Windows firewall Installed Firefox changed ipv4 ip. You have to go to the ip address that is linked to your router, it should be stated in your manual, something like Goodbye, Aspirins and Advils at the end of the day, frustration and depression when I found out all my files were rendered useless after I copied them to my external harddrive now GB of useless junk.
Here is the real Fix, it is SpyBot, when I hit immunize, it slowed down my internet drastically, when i removed SpyBot my internet got back to normal, i further tested it, by installing spybot again, it slowed me down, so i uninstalled it again and my internet got back to normal again, so SpyBot is the Culprate!!!
Am using VirusScan Enterprise 8. Hi, I have a problem with the network detection in vista ultimate. I also use a dialer to connect to net. It also takes long time to connect to net and for disconnection. It really bugs me and I am tired of searching for a fix all over net. I hope you could solve this problem for me.
Its the only reason I have changed back to XP. Expecting immediate resolution. I have similar issues as described here: very slow internet through my Belkin F5D ver. Moreover, the internet access is destroyed also for my second PC and my laptop, both being connect via WLAN to the same router. This re-dial process is repeated non-stop until I disconnect the LAN cable. Bloddy Hell, I solved my problem! See the above post I realized it was not Vista since my router kept on re-dialing even with my new Packard Bell switched off!
No Vista tweaks, no new firmware for the Belkin router, just the stupid card! Now, after all, I would rather blame the router for not being able to handle the Realtek card. Can you people recommend anything? You do realize that you should be getting twice that much, do you? The file copy is just horrendously slow. What version did you have and when version did you rollback too? I have a Dell inspiron s with a broadcom wireless card in it. I have uninstalled mcafee, even though windows still detects it in the protection center in teh firewall and malaware protection.
I have 3 computers connected to my belkin f5d router. After reading this entire post and maybe 30 more, I finally figured out the issue on my brand new HP laptop. It came with Vista Home Premium, and a trial version of Norton installed.
I removed Norton 2. I turned the firewall off entirely 3. Tried the Netsh command 4. Updated wireless driver with one directly from Intel 5. Installed new wireless driver directly from HP. Disabled IPv6 7. Disabled QoS Packet Scheduler 8. Scrathed head and yelled Put everything back like it was out of the box, excluding Norton and Firewall status.
At this point I was grasping at straws and decided I had eliminated about everything, except a wireless-N problem with this specific card. I changed the Wireless-N Mode enabled option in the device driver to disabled and just connected at Wireless-G speeds. No reboot, just fast speeds. I was in shock, to say the least. Just to make sure, I enabled N mode again and sure enough, slows to a crawl. Disabled and back to normal. We are talking huge differences here. While I enjoy a challenge, I do not enjoy the headache!
I hope this helps some of you, as I figure many new machines are coming with Wireless-N ability. One last thing that may matter….. I use WPA encryption on the router, but did not change any settings at all in the router.
I have the same computer PaulB has. I decided to follow his steps to speed up my wired and wireless transfers over a network Internet has always been pretty fast. Vista is slow and useless. One more hour of this damned OS and I will commit suicide. Better the computer die. It used to take hours to transfer 3GB of data , on a 1Gbps connection, from a share on our Windows server. Thanks for the posts people this has been helpful. I have a HP Pavilion dvca laptop and it would take 2 hours for 1 gig to transfer files from on computer to another using wireless which is as everybody knows very frustrating.
When my machine came it came with Norton antivirus which I unloaded because I use Shaw Secure as my anti virus. After reading the notes I checked the Shaw Antivirus protection and had turned the firewall off a long time ago but I noticed that my spam control was enabled. I thought I would shut it off and now I can download 1 gig in 3 minutes which is a far cry from 2 hours. Thanks again for your notes everybody. Thank you to all who posted your specific fixes.
The thing is that my PC is connected to a router wireless connection. Avast has the BEST heurustics I have every seen, picking up things norton, mcaffee, panda, zonealarm, and others I tested left behind on my computer.
Avast alwil softare believes that in order to fully rid the world of viruses, you need everyone to be protected…….
Also, avast is not fooled by malware that is embedded in multiple archives within each other a zip file within a zip file within another and so on. Avast updates at least once a day; any antivirus that tells you there are no available updates after your computer being off for two days is JUNK! New viruses are made every hour! Also, avast is the only antivirus that I know that currently has a bit version — critical for bit versions of windows! How can an antivirus remove a virus that has gotten into your computer when the files are in use……..
What have you got to lose except viruses? Download speeds are now as they should be, 1. Wanted to share my experience to perhaps help someone else. The other 3 xp computers on the network were speeding along at nearly 3. I tried many of the suggestions but turning off the UAC and rebooting in Vista allowed my speed to return and also allowed me to access my bank information page which I had been unable to do on this computer for a couple months. No problem accessing it on the other computers during that time.
Hope this helps someone! I have this problem in Vista Business, ultimate, and Enterprise that when it access 2 of my particular server through shared folders and using RDP connection, it is very, very, very slow!!! Do you have any suggestions? Please email me back at [email protected] …. Just a moment ago I have the problem accessing servers.
Slow connection whether rdp and shared folder. I think I found the solution! Once you disable the autotuning service and restart your computer, your vista computer should be as fast as a fighter jet! It is good to see people buying Dell, I work for them, I recently got an Inspiron and a desktop, Inspiron s. Have observed vista is slower whilst transferring files from the optical drive CD to Hard Drive for some strange reason.
Internet Explorer 7 is a horrid piece of software I find. Ok, I have read all of this and found it very useful to find there are multiple issues in Vista surrounding network transfer speeds.
It all seems to come down to fixing every other piece of hardware or software, but not the main problem which is clearly Vista. I have tried ALL of the above solutions and found that none of the work. I have found that I can upload to the NAS at about 1. MS is back there monopoly crap again. Third party software is not working unless they paid MS. I set my brothers pc up with a linksys and he bout Symantec full package protestion and it works fine.
So after trying many things it turned out to be only 1 setting. Flow Control. Vista is slow transferring from one hard drive to another, slow from one node to another via network, slow from CDrom to drive.
Vista sucks with its slowness. Most virus and spyware problems come from browsing the web and reading email. Thanks for the post though, That will always be the first thing I do when setting up new computers now.
Hi guys! Interesting thread. I did some extensive testing with MANY laptops. The issue for me is the connection speed between the notebooks and the router. At the N setting, I noticed that all the N notebooks in the store connected at well over Mbs.
However, all the notebooks like mine.. HP TX series…. Try it on G, and away it went at Here is a blog about windows vista slow working which has almost 20 ways to speed up vista.
After 1,5 min. Then it shoots up to about KBps again and so on… Have tried about everything mentioned here, but nothing worked. The strangest of all was which i noticed quite some time later, after i already had applied most of the suggestions that my laptop also had hardly any or a very slow connection. I went to the Australian! Linksys site and downloaded the latest firmware for the v3.
I just found out that the whole problem had nothing to do with my router etc. I noticed this when my wife turned on the tv when my speed dropped from KBps to about KBps.
Turned off the tv and the speed went up again :S. Sorry for my poor english I had found the problem!!! In my case the laptop with Vista was connected to a hub. I tried connecting it directly to the router and everything worked perfectly. I know the answer Hi, its me again Nahuel …. When the AVG 8. When it is uninstalled, there is excellent uploading speed.
I found setting up an FTP site on my host machine worked alot faster…. No Mcafee, No firewall did nothing… Tried to copy 6. Running Vista Business on both machines…. Using a netgear mb switch..
This way, the data will be sent and received in turn. Good luck. Jumbo packets are disabled on both ends. Both have latest chipset drivers, NIC drivers, Vista patches, etc installed. I also tried turning off autotuning no difference and turning off remote differential compression minimal difference. If I had VMC running in the background idling mind you, ie. After poking around some more, I found the solution to slow network speeds while VMC is running. Slow vista network speed solved on my machine.
See vista 64 forum. Problem was the nVidia network controllerd driver. Few weeks ago, my laptop rj connection at home via adsl router became painfly slow.
Neither did help. Than I tried other RJ cables I found at home. With other three, the speed was normal. According to the Vista File Transfer Dialog Box drop downwhen you are actually transferring a file I ran about 20 tests with files between 1GB and 4GB using both settings I stopped each file transfer when it appeared the speed had averaged out.
