Broadcom Wireless Driver starting slow in Windows 7

Question

I have a late 2009 MBP 13.3" and it has worked great, both with OS X (Snow Leopard) and Windows 7 since August. Recently, the Windows drivers for the Broadcom Wireless chip have decided to start slowly... when I turn it on nowadays the wireless drivers seem to have some sort of "delay" when starting, where the pc is ready but I have to Idle it for like a minute for it to start the Wireless Ethernet... tried reinstalling the drivers (uninstalling them first of course) but it still has that delay, do you have any idea on what to do?

Answer 1

Let me tell you that Broadcom really ***** on BCM43XX driver for windows. I've spent five days on this and changed four wireless routers, nothing improved.
I use Macbook Air and the wireless adapter is shown as Broadcom 802.11n Adapter in Windows XP. It works very well in MAC OS, but in Windows XP, it only works fine for first ten or thirty minutes, and then lost connection frequently.
By ping 192.168.1.1 (generally for most routers), the feedback "Request time out" also comes up.
The intersting thing is that if I tried 802.11n wireless routers, it "Requst time out" at the very beginning. When using old routers like 802.11g protocal, it works quite all right and lost connection two hours later, and re-connected again, again and again.

I think we need to push Broadcom and Apple to update drivers for Windows.
