nieeves Posted January 25, 2005 CID Share Posted January 25, 2005 i bought a linksys usb wireless-b network adapter, and had good results with it, but i figured i would return it and pay the 10 dollars more for the wireless-g adapter.. well i made the switch and im downloading so much slower from about a 3mb download to a .8mb download... i tested my sisters laptop on the same wireless network and she still gets about a 3mb download.. im pretty aggravated trying to figure out what went wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanBuren Posted January 25, 2005 CID Share Posted January 25, 2005 hey nieeves and welcome to the forum do you have any tweaks loaded, and if so what tweaks? also update your NIC drivers VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nieeves Posted January 25, 2005 Author CID Share Posted January 25, 2005 im using cablenut right now and your tweaks, but it seems like the problem is definately in the adapter. any way of fixing it? sadly i dont have the receipt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanBuren Posted January 25, 2005 CID Share Posted January 25, 2005 find what brand you have on NIC and model then go to manufactors homepage and download latest driver also in this stage, open cablenut click delete cablenut tweaks and click save to registry and reboot i will later help you load the correct tweakfile VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nieeves Posted January 25, 2005 Author CID Share Posted January 25, 2005 actually...the device manager is showing it as a generic ethernet controller... should i just go out and buy a cheap ethernet card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanBuren Posted January 25, 2005 CID Share Posted January 25, 2005 in device manager, right click on generic ethernet controller and choose update driver.... lets try this first, even tho new ehernetcards is very cheap approx 10-20 bucks VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nieeves Posted January 25, 2005 Author CID Share Posted January 25, 2005 yea i tried that route already.. looks like im just gonna get a new ethernet card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanBuren Posted January 25, 2005 CID Share Posted January 25, 2005 try google and find a driver, but its your call to spend the money on a new card... check this http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/std_alp.php?p_sid=TgzInqwh&p_lva=&p_li=&p_page=1&p_cv=&p_pv=1.8%3B2.u0&p_prods=8%2C0&p_cats=&p_hidden_prods=&prod_lvl1=8&prod_lvl2=0&p_scf_lang=1&p_search_text=wireless-g+adapter+slow&p_new_search=1&p_search_type=answers.search_nl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nieeves Posted January 25, 2005 Author CID Share Posted January 25, 2005 the linksys drivers i found on that site were somehow older versions of what i had, im heading to the store right now to pick up a new card, shouldnt hurt the bank too much, gonna pick up some more ram too... be back in about an hour or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xs1 Posted January 25, 2005 CID Share Posted January 25, 2005 i bought a linksys usb wireless-b network adapter, Using usb AND wireless? o.o........... Isnt that like a double punch in the face? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nieeves Posted January 25, 2005 Author CID Share Posted January 25, 2005 well pretty much i had no choice but to buy the usb adapter, i just moved up north to my sisters and i didnt want to run a 25 foot long cable from her router to my room, and i ran out of pci slots for my computer.. well i figured out what was wrong and i had to switch out my ooold usb 1.1 card for my usb 2.0 card.. speeds a little better, just around 2.4MB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
