This computer has always downloaded at a slow rate via wireless. But just recently, it is ungodly slow to the point where I have to plug it in to the ethernet cord to download anything. My internet loading speed via wireless has also slowed. It takes forever to load images and even pages at times.
Can anyone help??
Does your wireless connection also disconnect from time-to-time without warning? e.g. does it have low signal?
Wi-fi often doesn't work well with poor signal or interference. Try moving around the house to different areas and make sure any other electronic devices that generate radiation (e.g. cellular phones) are switched off.
Does the connection speed improve in different locations?
Have you also tried using your laptop with someone else's router? Try going to an internet cafe and use the wi-fi there. Do you get the same?
First try to identify whether it is a hardware/software problem (do you have the latest drivers?), a signal/router problem (too much interference on that frequency), or an environmental problem (interference from other wi-fi, concrete walls etc).
