a friend of mine now has a gigabit connection but can only get 400Mb download when tested via speedtest.net. while the engineer was installing everything he noted speeds of 700Mb on the laptop used for the setup.
would the lower speeds be due to the realtek network card he has?
I am having networking issues with Windows 7 Pro. I did a clean install on Saturday from Windows XP and started having issues staying/getting connected to the internet with my motherboard's (ASUS A8NVM-CSM) on board Nvidia nForce networking controller. After seeing that others were having the same problem, I bought a new card, Dynex Gigabit PCI Card which installed perfectly and disabled the other one. Now I'm running into issues of my connection dropping sometimes every 5, 10, 20 minutes and the only way to get it back instantly is to do ipconfig /renew.
When I do the troubleshooter, it tells me there's something wrong with the connectivity of my modem or router, which is impossible. I say this because I live with roommates who are all using different operating systems (Vista, XP, Mac OS X Leopard) and they haven't had connection problems either. There are two routers in the house, a Netgear and a Cisco, and I haven't a problems with either of those when I was on XP, and my roommates aren't having issues with it either.
Any ideas or settings I might be able to change on this card? I've tried drivers and changing cables out, making sure Windows doesn't turn off the network card to save power...etc. Let me know if you need more information.
I'm wondering if there are any way to test the speed/bandwidth of an SD card with built-in Windows 7 utilities/diagnostic software?
And in the absence of that, what are the best (and safest) freeware utilities to do this test?
I'm not having a problem with my machine, simply want to figure out which of my SD cards are the slowest and fastest so I can decide which to use and when.
MS has made available a test to their servers. It is a very comprehensive test and not just raw speed. You need Java to run the test Performance Test for Internet Connection to Microsoft Online Services
View 1 Replies View RelatedEver since I built this PC (about 1 month ago now) I haven't been able to put him to sleep. I can set the "time until sleep" for 1 minute and sit next to him watching and waiting, and that works, but anything more than 5 minutes and he just won't sleep.
I did some digging and figured out how to use the Event Viewer and Command Prompt "Lastwake" command to find what's waking him up. It's my Intel 82579V Gigabit Network Connection. I imagine that means that he's getting signals from the internet while trying to sleep. I have Steam and MSN isntalled, but even when I log out of those and close them, the computer still won't sleep.
Now that I've figured out the source of the wake though I'm not sure what's the next step. I'd rather not have to unplug my internet every single time I want the computer to sleep. Aside for simple inconvenience I believe that would put some serious strain on the port over the long term (my last PC's LAN port was one of the first things to fail). So is there a setting that I can change so that the computer ignores the Network Connection's wake signals?
Today when I started up my computer it blue screened about three times at the log in screen. After the third or so time I booted my computer with the last known good configuration. At first it seemed to work; everything seemed to boot as ormal.However, I noticed that I could not connect to the internet. I went into the Device Manger and noticed a problem with my Intel(R) 82579V Gigabit Network Connection. Under device status it states "This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)" I have updated and reinstalled the drivers twice now to no avail. I do not know what the problem is.

View 9 Replies View Relatedi registered to the forum cause i am encountering a problem with my old internet's connection speed on a new computer.i have a 2mbs internet connection which has been enough for me for the past few years. problem is that since i bought a new desktop my connection is extremely slow, Internet videos lag almost instantaneously even on 360p (which didn't happen with the same connection on my old desktop). moreover, downloading from firefox or programs like origin speed seems not to go above 15 or 20 kbps while on my old desktop it reached its limit around 210kbps. as you understand this is extremely annoying, i am suspecting that the problem is hardware related. i am using a modem (the one my isp provided) and an ethernet cable to my desktop. additionally i am using windows firewall and microsoft security essentials.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have 135Mbps link speed support ADSL WI-FI router. I have enabled 802.11b+g+n wireless mode and use 20+40 MHz on my router. I use "WAP-PSK" authentication. In addition to that, have a 2.4 & 5 GHz frequency support router and client device.
But my network connection display (WLAN) I have a 54Mbps link speed, why is that? How do I use 135Mbps or at least 100Mbps link speed? Is it a some configuration issue? My Ethernet connection show full speed (100Mbps). (I'm not talking about my internet connection speed).
i have officially 100mb/sec speed, however sometimes i am unable to load pages, and download Internet clips etc. the information gets stopped in someway. other times things run fast and smoothly.a speed check was done - its normally over 100mb/sec. but when things are going wrong the test is unable to complete and the test seems to pause for some seconds then speed-up to perhaps 300mb/sec before getting stuck again when it goes to test upload speed.the computer uses no modem, or router - cable runs straight from the computer to the wall contact as instructed.

I've been using my Ps3 controller as an alternative to an Xbox 360 controller on my PC (to play games with a gamepad) but in order to use my Ps3 controller as a makeshift 360 controller, I need test signing enabled.
Unfortunately with test signing enabled I get a big ugly watermark at the bottom right of my screen, as far as I know the only way to disable this is to disable test signing, otherwise it just won't leave! Is there any way I can get past this and somehow keep driver test signing enabled but get rid of that horrid watermark ruining my gorgeous wallpaper?
my download speed kbps is high but why my internet connection still slow?

I have a liquid cooling setup and the fans on my radiator as they are right now simply aren't cutting it.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI can�t get anything faster than 5Mbs transfers over my network. This is what I have connected. I�m using a Dlink DIR-655 Router, set to connect at 1Gbps, Western Digital NAS drive, it says it�s connected at 1Gbps, and my laptop is set to connect at 1Gbps also. My laptop has a Realtek NIC, with the lastest drivers that I can find. Every thing is set to 1Gbps and, they all connect at that speed, but transferring between my NAS and my laptop, I ONLY get right at 5Mbs. Everything is connected with Cat5e cables, no long runs or anything. I�ve looked at several forums to figure out what I can do to get higher transfer speeds

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a pentium 4 pc that had built in ethernet on the mobo, i replaced it with a gigabit ethernet.I did a speed test at speak easy with the built in and got 60ish mb. I disabled that device and used the gigabit and i got 38mb with or without jumbo frames 7k.I performed the test 4 times with similar results. I have updated both cards with the latest drivers via win update.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell XPS 15Z with gigabit ethernet port, have dgs 1005d gigabit switch and WDTV live hub also with gigabit "capability"... The network cables should be fine...
The issue is that the file transfer (these are usually HD movies) from my laptop to WDTV are rather slow having in mind it's a gigabit network connection... The speed tops 15 MB/s. Same thing if I connect WDTV directly with my laptop.
The switch indicates (green light) it has set-up a gigabit connection both with WDTV and my laptop.
I have disabled autotuning, RDC, AV software etc. Tried with jumbo frames, disabling flow control - EVERYTHING
My Linksys WRT120N router no longer works, so I bought a D-Link DIR-655, which has Gigabit ports.I have a PC with Win 7 64-bit with an Atheros L1 Gigabit Ethernet built in the motherboard, an ASUS P5B-VM SE. I also have 4 GB of RAM and internal hard disks connected via SATA 2. The PC is connected to the router via a Cat 5 cable with the label "Type CM24AWG UL E188L30".I also bought a Buffalo Linkstation Live LS-CHLV2 NAS with a 2 TB HD, and it's supposed to have a Gigabit port, too. The NAS is connected to the router via the Cat 5 cable included with the NAS.I checked the settings of the Atheros, and it uses "auto" for the media type (other choices range from 10Mbps Half Duplex to 1000Mbps Full Duplex. The maximum frame size is 1514 (the default), and the receive and transmit buffers at 256. There is no "jumbo frame" property in the configurations.The NAS only has frame size for the configuration, and it's currently set at 1518 (the default). Other options are 4102, 7422, and 9694 (all labeled as "jumbo" frame sizes).
I ran LAN Speed Test from the PC with a folder in the NAS as the destination, and the results for a 100-MB file are 34 Mbps for writing and 71 Mbps for reading.I experimented by setting the Atheros media type to 1000Mbps Full Duplex and the maximum frame size to 9694. I went to the NAS and set the frame size to the highest, 9694. The transfer speed became worse.I could not find any settings in the router except for MTU for Internet connections, but I think that's not used for network file transfers, so I did not change it (the default is 1500).I would like to know if the system and components I have are supposed to be enough to do file transfers between the NAS and the PC that are faster than the results I've gotten.Also, is it necessary to modify Ethernet configurations?Finally, I do not what else to do except to do the LAN Speed test using the ff. options:
1. connect the NAS directly to the PC
2. connect to another PC, probably a laptop, that has Gigabit ethernet and is connected to the router
3. buy two cables that are identified for Gigabit networks and to replace the ones connecting the PC and the NAS to the router
I'm out of ideas. Tried several different drivers, and settings. Using a fresh install of Windows 7 RC. The drivers all seem to "work", by which I mean Windows 7 has no problem with them, but no driver I've tried will let the card actually talk with anything. It keeps trying to find a DHCP address and always comes up with a 169 address. Even when I specify a static IP it still won't see anything on the network.
DHCP is working for my on board NIC, and this card works in my XP installation on this same PC.
The driver that seems to "work" the best so far is this: Download HP Intel PRO/1000 Gigabit Driver 13.5.00 Rev.C for Vista64 Driver for Windows Vista64 - Softpedia
With that driver I actually get all of the nifty features in the driver properties page, and I've run all of it's diagnostic tests which all come up green.
Also worth nothing: I had this same problem with Windows 7 Beta.
Earlier many reported this problem with win 7 x64 build 7100, now I did a clean install of build 7600 x64 & the problem is now more frequently happening every 15 mins it freezes the comp.
Uploading stops
downloading sometime stops
sound/video freezes
applications stop responding
nothing can be done to the system at that time.
I am using asus P5B dlx wifi mobo with Marvell Yukon Gigabit Ethernet lan drivers latest v 11.10.6.3 dated 6/15/09.
