Different WiFi speed with main power and battery

Hi,
I have a 4mbit adsl connection, I've noticed that when the notebook is connected to the power the navigation speed is very fast, when powered with the battery the speed drops to 5-6 KB/sec.
There's some setting to resolve this problem?
Thanks

Hello Fabio
Its a strange issue but firstly you can check the power settings in the wireless card properties. Please go to Device Manager then right click on Wlan card ->Properties.
There you should find a Advanced tab. All settings should be set to Use default value and Highest.
Best regards

100% correlation with main instability and battery...

100% identification of the main instability and battery problem of Lumia 800
The headline is very pretentious, I admit. However, I think I can now point to the problem. Many Lumia owners are baffled by the nature of their problems – they are unpredictable and intermittent and manifest themselves in many ways.
I am NOT talking about “static” bugs such as:
inability to charge the battery to 1,450mAh,
the problem to end a call or the impedance of head-phones and audio quality
Extremely slow start-up after battery drain to zero
For many of Lumia owners, the phones are perfectly usable, have decent battery life, and then, a series of strange problems out of the blue, you panic to identify what’s going on, switch everything off, hard-reset, etc. and wow, suddenly it looks OK, stable and jolly again, only to go into problems after a while.
The problems I am talking about are intermittent, unpredictable and are impossible to replicate at will, mainly classified as:
Freezes;
Self turning offs and self-restarts;
Intermittent drain of battery.
As above, it is not possible (at least for me) to replicate the conditions that cause problems intermittently, but I think that I now know at least one common thread – the “Current” in the “Battery Status” page in the “Diagnostic” page.
I found that during all the intermittent problems, no matter that I switch-off everything (including 2G rather than 3G) and even after hard-reset, the Current is higher than the “normal steady state” that I think is about 150-160mAh. Whenever the “Current (Discharging) is higher than 160 (after a brief transitional time), expect troubles.
I can only speculate that some “rogue” process is looping on the CPU in the background (unfortunately there is no Windows PC style “Task Manager” that can show all processes) – a possible support for this hypothesis is that the back of the device is warm and sometimes hot to touch ALWAYS when these kind of problems strike.
Why isn't Nokia updating us about this issue? Admission and promise to resolve it (if this can be solved – I wonder it other WP7 phones have similar problems, if yes, this is the end...) will keep many loyal customers to Nokia. We are getting tired of bugs and problems and only in the case of the battery, Nokia admitted it. Please Nokia, don’t push us into the arms of the iThing!!!

Slow wifi speeds with airport extreme and win 7

i have an airport extreme router that i love. i recently noticed that my wifi was running slow. after performing a speed check i confirmed that my speeds were about 3-6mb/sec. this was done on my win 7 pro machine. while seated in front of my pc, i ran the same check using my iphone and i get 50mb/sec. this continues to be the case now for like a week. does anyone know if a recent windows update has done something. router has been restored to factory settings to no avail. when i first set up the router a few months ago, both machines were getting 50mb/sec downloads. not sure what has happened. any help would be appreciated.thanks

By process of elimination I realised that the only cause of the sudden slowness must be software that I had installed recently. The only software I had added was a wifi utility to detect available networks--open or protected. Unlikely as it sounds, quitting the utility (which I had set to load on startup) made a dramatic improvement in performance.

HT4623 I am trying to update my iPad 32 with retina display and whenever I do it tells me that I am not connected to the Internet even though I am. I have tried several different wifi spots with the same results. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

Charge a Zen v Plus from mains power and still play mu

Does anyone know if you can charge a Zen V plus from mains power and still play music?

Creative could save its Help Desk/Support people and their consumers <i>endless</i> amounts of aggravation if they simply included a Mains wall charger with every player.
How much does a charger cost at the factory level when you make thousands upon thousands of units?
As it stands now this policy forces people, many of them not very handy with computers [and by the sounds of reading this forum, not everyone in the world is running XP with Service Pack 2 and has all their computer's ducks in a row...] to troubleshoot their USB ports, hack their Registry, delete and re-install firmware and software.
A lot of that is completely over the heads of people who merely want to listen to their favourite music and simply charge their shiny new Zen DAP.
How many people give up when they can't get their Zen recognized and return it to the store, never to buy Creative again?
One it too many when the solution is so simple and inexpensi've.

You can try Restoring it in iTunes but I believe you will end up needing to have it serviced.

802.11ac wifi speeds with the BCM4360 chip and broadcom-wl driver

Hello,
First, some preliminary information:
I'm currently in need of a wireless adapter for my desktop computer. I recently got an Asus RT66U router, so I'm looking for a wireless adapter that supports the 802.11ac standard. The best candidate I've come across is the Asus PCE-AC68, and PCIe based adapter that uses Broadcom's BCM4360 chip, the same wifi chip used in the Late 2013 retina Macbook Pro. It is worth noting that every available 802.11ac compatible PCIe based wireless adapter seemingly uses this chip (I've heard of people having success with 802.11ac speeds using Qualcomm Atheros based wifi adapters and the ath10k driver, but there are no Atheros-based PCIe wireless adapters on the market, as far as I can tell).
The Broadcom BCM4360 chip is not supported by the b43 driver, and I believe it also isn't supported by the brcmsmac driver, since it isn't listed here.
This leaves me with the proprietary broadcom-wl driver, which is listed as supporting the BCM4360.
What I'm interested in learning is how a wireless adapter based on the BCM4360 will perform using the broadcom-wl driver--I don't want to buy a wifi adapter that won't work at its full capacity, after all.
I have found user reports here and here from April 2014 stating that the driver runs BCM4360 based adapters in 802.11a/b/g mode and doesn't allow 802.11n and 802.11ac connections to be made. On the other hand, this user (in a post from June) states that he managed to get ac speeds in Arch simply by changing his router settings. Unfortunately, he doesn't detail what changes he made.
I'm hopeful that the driver was simply updated between April and June and that now BCM4360-based wifi adapters can run at 802.11ac speeds, but as it's closed source, I can't check the commits, and have not been able to find any discussion more recent than what I linked above.
Has anyone had success getting 802.11ac speeds with BCM4360-based wifi adapters and the broadcom-wl driver?

I am currently using the BCM4360 (rev 03) in a MacBook Pro. You are correct in that it does not work with the b43 driver. It mostly works with the proprietary wl driver. I am using the broadcom-wl AUR package. I can confirm that 802.11n works. I am connected right now at 324Mbps (3 .11n spatial streams). I have not tried 802.11ac yet. I will soon, so I will report back.
As for the caveats, it doesn't like 802.1X networks very much. To get it working using wpa_supplicant, I have to reload the wl module. Sometimes when I reload it, it comes back as wlan0 instead of wlp3s0. No idea why. Yet, when I tried it with Network Manager on an Ubuntu live environment, it worked fine. YMMV. It always works fine for me at home on a WPA2-PSK network. If I can pin down something with more consistency, I'll let you know.
For reference:
$ lspci -vnn | grep Network
03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:43a0] (rev 03)
According to kernel.org, BCM4360 could be either 14e4:4360 or 14e4:43a0

R6300 poor wifi speed with upgraded internet speed

Hi! Recently Comcast upgraded my internet speed to 75Mb from 45MB. I have a Netgear R6300 router and when I was at 45 MB the router was able to run WIFI at 45MN too. Now that I have 75MB - 80MB shooting thru the modem my router hardly can run WIFI at 20MB? Anybody experienced this issue? I called CC TS and the rep told me that they are having a lot of people calling with similar issues with Netgear routers and Xfinity... He offered no explanations why at all. His recommendation? Buy a new router... or get one of theirs... are they kidding me? This makes no sense to me. I rather move to Charter than going and buy a new router because CC can't get along with Netgear routers. Help please, anybody? Thanks

Just rant the speed test - hardwired to laptop thru router DSLreport speed - 45MB download, 11.4 upload so is showing better speed hereXfinity speedteast - 88 MB download, 12.1 Upload WIFI speed test thru DSL report usign Ipad right by router- 68.2 dowload, 12.02 upload2nd test = 73 MBdownload, 12.6 MB uploadJayInAlg wrote:

Problem with fan, temperature and battery after the restore from the stop (Macbook pro 15)

From a couple of weeks my macbook pro (15" 2.4 Ghz i7 4gb OS X 10.7.4) has this problem: when i close the screen it goes to stop and when i open it goes out the stop normaly but the fan and the temperature increase and the battery last nothing. So i reboot the mac and everithings go to normal way and also battery time increase in comparison with before...

I've found that samsung kies wifi started at the login and that the app used 91% of my cpu and filled up my ram so i went to: system preference > users and groups > login's elements > and i deleted the app from the list.

X200s - problems switching from mains power to battery - temporary freeze

Hi All,
Noticing a problem with a brand new x200s downgraded to Windows XP from Windows 7 (although never operated with Windows 7) where there is a temporary freeze when either connecting to mains power, or disconnecting from mains power. While it is not a proper freeze, as I can ALT+TAB between applications, I cannot actually do anything (close AP's, write emails etc). This lasts for up to 3 or 4 minutes, and then everything recovers - recovery happens to the extent that anything done during the freeze suddenly happens, like pressing the ThinkVantage Button, or right-clicking on a taskbar item etc.
I wonder if this is something to do with the Lenovo power management system - anyone got any ideas please?
Many thanks

Hi,
make sure, that you are using the latest version of Power Manger , power mangement driver . These two parts are basically responsible (when they are installed) for the power configuration.
Please let me know, what is the version of Power manager and power management dirver, that you are using.
Also based on you description, when all is working, when pressing ATL+TAB, then try to open Task manager with CTRL+Shift+ESC and check, what is taking the CPU and memory comsumption.
Once this will not show you anything, go to Windows Event log, maybe there you can find some hint.
Just to make sure, that I understand this corectly: You see this kind of behaviour, when you unplug or plug in the sytsem into AC ?
Cheers

Very slow transfer speeds with Airport Extreme and MacBook

I have been using a new Airport Extreme without problem at my home for the past six weeks. The speed and range was excellent with both my MacBook Pro and the MacBook which I purchased a few weeks ago. I came out to Greece with both laptops and a new AP Extreme box for my home network here. After set up I noticed that internet access was lethargic on the MacBook and file transfer between the two computers was extremely slow. The problem seems to be with the new MacBook (although it was working well in London). I've done some speed tests and the internet download speed is only 48 kpbs! I also notice that the range is very poor--in the room next to the router I am down to five bars. If I connect to the AP Extreme with cable I get the full 1Mbps I would normally expect here in Athens (ADSL nominal 2Mbps). The MacBook Pro has no problems with wireless access speeds or range, so I am assuming this has to be a problem with the AP extreme card in the MacBook. Is there anything I have overlooked? Perhaps something to do with setting up the new AP Extreme here in Athens?

By process of elimination I realised that the only cause of the sudden slowness must be software that I had installed recently. The only software I had added was a wifi utility to detect available networks--open or protected. Unlikely as it sounds, quitting the utility (which I had set to load on startup) made a dramatic improvement in performance.
