    Wireless speed slow.
    « on: December 26, 2011, 11:30:47 PM »
    Hi, i have just bought a Acer Aspire 5750 and set it up only to find that my wireless is running at 5.5mbps where my other notebooks run at 75mbps. The speed is still fast but i would rather have it running at full speed. I have been reading up so many pages on how to fix the issue with no luck. I have a Broadcom 802.11n network adapter and running a netcomm N150 modem. My older Acer works fine and my toshiba also works fine both running a 802.11n adapter . Does anyone have a cure for this???

      Make sure your Wireless Transmit Power is set to "Full." and that your Power Saving Mode is set to "Off."

      I have noticed that some wireless cards modify their link speed based on the activity of the wireless connection. I have an Azurewave Atheros AR9285/5895 card which when idle has a connection speed of 8.0Mbps, but when downloading a movie, goes all the way up to 150 Mbps.

          75 mbps?! :o You might wanna check on reviews or comments online for users who bought the same model regarding the wifi connection.
