Seriously I am getting crazy. I have wireless problems all around the time.  PM is off as listed above. So
# iwconfig wlp2s0 power off
Wont help. Enabling n does not help . Nor do I need it.
How do I get my laptop to receive a proper bitrate?
Just tell me if you need further information.

If you're link is fairly good, it will go up when you download/stream something. It goes down to save power when the bandwith is not needed (or there are wifi troubles, like a bad link quality or interfering signals).
Well I'am embarrassed. This obviously "solved" the nonexistent problem. I encountered this low bitrate due to conky. (<- is this correct english?) ( http://i.imgur.com/moT6CJ3.jpg ) I watched this value a long time, assuming that it would never change. My fault was to believe that it's static, and as long as I am wired via Ethernet, there's no need for the wireless interface to do any action. The only problem was me, blaming intel for stuff I didnt know
Thank you WonderWoofy and Strike0 for starting me off.
**EDIT**
Shame on me! I just stumbled upon a thread in which WW was telling me the same just 3 months ago. I should try this Ginkgo stuff

  • P35 Platinum - Intel PRO 1000 MT Network Adapter problem

    Greetings.
    Found out very strage thing - installation of "Intel PRO 1000 MT  Network Adapter" in any PCI slot disabled onboard Intel raid controller!  :(
    If this card installed Intel Matrix Storage Manager screen  do not appear in boot process and Raid do not listed in Boot Sequence bios options, instead
     I can see Network Adapter in this list. I tryed "Boot from othe devices" option, bus it not work too.
    So with this adapter installed I'm not able to boot from raid.
    Currently I use bios version 1.4
    Any idea how to solve this?
    P.S. Installation of old 3COM 3C905CX-TX-M Adapter did not have such effect, but there is no Win x64 drivers for it.

    Hi Maesus,
    Thanks, I did and filled information about my computer configuration.
    Hope it'll help solve the problem.
    AaronYuri, thans go reply.
    But maybe it's some misundestanding - when I say that installation of Intel adapter in PCI slot "disabled onboard Intel raid controllr" it does not mean that raid controller disabled in bios settings - settings in "Integrated Peripherals->On-chip ATA devices" are the same (PCI IDE BusMaster = Enabled, Raid mode = RAID), but it's looks like bios "did not see" raid controller - it disappers from list of devices to boot from and I did not see screen of Intel Matrix in boot proces (this screen alwais presents if controller switched in raid mode) 

  • Wireless Problem in windows 7 intel wifi link 5100agn

    i bought a dv7 1270us laptop in january. everything was fine until the last 3 months i started having small problems in vista. it would take 10+ minutes to connect and the speed would go up and down. then i installed windows 7 and am either having problems with the card or driver but ive tried every driver i can find and nithing has worked.. the wireless drops randonly. when it drops it doesnt lose connection the signal drops all the way down to one bar and i get maybe 10Kbps of bandwith well it takes 2 minutes to load a page of this forum atleast. When it drops it also only drops for maybe 5-10 minutes or else it stays like that until i restart but resarting always fixes it tempoparily for 10 minutes or so. toaday i tried to disconnect and reconnect to my network. as soon as i cicked connect i got a blue screen it pointed torwards netw5v64.sys i have tried re installing the drivers multiple times and the problem isnt resolved. i have sent the laptop in twice in the last 2 months one for the blue ray drive and wireless problems i am having now. they sent it back with a new blue ray drive and a new antenna for my wireless saying the card was fina it was a driver and maybe a new antenna would help with connectivity. well they were wrong. i got it back and it started overheating to 90+ degrees celcius and wireless problems were still there even though they re-imaged the hard drive so all drivers should be perfect.so i sent it back again. now i just got it back and they cleaned the heatsink and completely ignored my wireless problems. the sheet that states the repairs that were done has a circle aroubd cleaned heatsink/fan and thats it n comments or anything. then to make the icing on the cake there is a 3 inch long fairly deep scrath on my laptop i take verygood care of all of my laptops so that i can sell them used for more than a scratched up one. i am very disappointed in hp and almost dont want to send it back and loose it for another week just to get it back without anything being done again i am almost certain they would re0image the hard drive again and send it back since they didnt even do that the second time. okay back on topic is there anything anyone has heard t fix this so i dont have to send it in again. any help is appreciated

    Intel! They make processors and a variety of motherboard hardware, but they seem to have a devil of a time making decent drivers. Particularly with their wireless NICs. Lately I’ve noticed a number of errors springing from the Intel WiFi Link 5100/5300 AGN family of wireless adapters. They seem to cause random bluescreen errors on Windows Vista systems. Fortnuately, there is a viable workaround:
    -Right click on Computer and select Manage.
    -After Computer Management opens up, go to Device Manager.
    -In Device Manager, expand the Network Adapters category.
    -Right-click on “Intel (R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN” and select Properties.
    -In Properties, go to the Power Management tab.
    -Under the Power Management tab, make sure that “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power” is unchecked.
    Apparently, the driver for the WiFi Link 5100 can’t properly handle the device going to sleep, and pulls down the whole system. Hopefully Intel will fix this in future driver updates. Until then, this workaround will have to do.

  • Problem with T500 Intel Wifi Link 5300 adapter connectivi​ty

    I upgraded my T500 to Windows 7 Professional from Vista Business.  Since upgrading, I have been unable to obtain satisfactory WiFi connectivity.  Symptoms are that I cannot stream from either the internet or my local server without experiencing periodic interruptions and/or total drops.  I've tried reinstalling the driver, replacing the WiFi card itself, and adjusting the parameters associated with the adapter card.  Nothing seems to help.  I also own a T61 laptop which I also upgraded from Vista Business to Windows 7 Professional, and I have had no problems with WiFi connectivity on that machine.  It also has an Intel Wifi adapter but a different model.  Both laptops connect to my LAN and the internet through the same D-Link wireless access router.
    I'm beginning to suspect that the Windows 7 driver for this particular WiFi adapter is flawed.  Has anyone in this forum had a similar experience?
    Thanks in advance for your comments/assistance.

    try to use your laptop without 'energy star'. setup full speed processor to maximum.
    I thinks the problem turn around win7 and 'energy saving driver'

  • Intel wifi link 1000 series, how to get it working?

    Hi, I have installed arch linux on my netbook acer 1825PTZ, its wireless card is Intel wifi link 1000series, I have tried to follow the wireless setup guide on archwiki but I have not come to a conclusion...I've searched among the list of supported drivers but I am not sure if it is supported or not. So can you plz make a more accurate research? i would like to keep ndiswrapper as ultimate choice...

    Ehh... can dmesg without any options actually enable anything? Anyway, I post this in case you still get some issues.
    natostanco wrote:ehm, how I am supposed to download a package if i am installing the device for internet connection? I thought that the package was already between installation files...
    Hopefully you will be able to use ethernet, or you could download the linux-firmware package from a mirror on a different system.
    To download the package from a mirror without pacman, go to one of the HTTP addresses in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist with "$repo" swapped with "core" and $arch swapped with either i686 or x86_64. You should be able to see a link to a linux-firmware file. When you've transferred this file over to your Arch system, you install it by
    # pacman -U /path/to/package
    I avoided the Netinstall image as I suspected that I would have some major issues getting Internet connectivity. If you chose the core image, you should have the package already installed.

  • New Intel WIFI Link Driver Randomly cut off Internet Connection

    Two day ago I used ThinkVantage SYstem Update and installed Intel Wifi link driver (ver 13.01.1000). But since then my computer was randomly cut off internet connection, and the wireless signal strength icon on the system tray indicated no nearby wireless network. And then it powered off the wireless connection. Whatever I do, I cannot re-power on the wireless (I used Access Connection to power on the 802.11 wireless radio, but it could not be turned on and nothing happened) unless I restart the computer. 
    I thought it might be the router that malfunctioned as this problem never happened before. But after I checked the router and used another notebook to test wireless connection, I was sure the router ran very well.
    Then I re-installed the TVT Access Connection (ver 5.61) and the Intel WIFI Link Driver (ver 13.01.1000) but the problem remained. Could anybody give a possible solution? 
    I also noticed on Lenovo's website, the Intel wireless card driver for T61 is v13.00.0000 Windows Vista 23 Oct 2009. It's lower than what I have now. Could that be the cause?
    My ThinkPad T61 has the following configuration:
    Model: T61 8897CTO
    OS: WinVista Home Basic SP2 32bit
    Language: EN
    Wireless Card: Intel 3945 ABG
    Wireless Card Driver: 13.1.1.1 (previous one was 13.0.0.0)
    TVT Access Connection: 5.61
    Solved!

    Hi carlven,
    Anytime when wireless driver is updated, Access Connections also needs to be reistalled.
    Do this, first uninstall your wireless driver and access connections, thereafter reboot your system. Then install wireless driver first, again reboot, subsequently install access connections, reboot again.
    When installing any lenovo driver manually, keep in mind they first extract themselves to a default location in C:\Drivers..., second .exe setup must be run from that location to successfully install the drivers.
    Hope it helps.

  • T540p battery drain in S4 state after Bios and Intel Wifi driver update

    Hey Guys,
    on my T540p, I configured the rapid start technology according to 
    http://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/rapid_start_technology_user_guide.pdf
    Since I have performed a BIOS update to 2.14  and an update of the Intel Wifi driver to 17.0.5, I experience the problem of battery drain when the computer is in S4 sleep state, at a rate of approximately 0.125% per hour (on the 56Wh battery).
    This was not the case before these updates. There was no noticable power drain in S4 sleep state, even not over multiple days.
    I'm using Win7, I set all the WoL capabilities both in BIOS and in the Intel driver to disabled, according to 
    https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Y-U-V-Z-and-P-series/Battery-drain-when-powered-down-Y410P/td-p...
    External device USB charge settings are also fully disabled in BIOS and Power Manager. The problem does not occur when the system is fully shut down, but in S4 Sleep state, which should be a zero-power state too, as it was before the updates. In the details of the BIOS update it is stated " Fixed an issue where the computer might fail to enter sleep state". Could the power drain be a side effect of this fix? Or is it an issue with the (new) Wifi driver, as it was the case for the Y410P?
    How could this battery drain be avoided? Has anybody experienced the same issue?
    Best,
    Martin
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    mka1284,
    you could check out devices that might resume laptop from the sleep modes and disable them. Type in the following command in the cmd line window:
    powercfg -devicequery wake_armed
    Also the following command will show you report about power management. Open cmd window with administrative rights and type in:
    powercfg -energy.

  • Convert to lower bitrate hangs on some songs

    I recently had to restore an iPod classic. While syncing, I told it to convert all songs to lower bitrate (128 kbps). I've performed  this operation before without mishap, but this time, some songs appear to take MUCH longer to convert (on the order of day for an individual song). At the moment, it has restarted a sync, and it's working on song 5 of 18000. Songs 1-4 went at a normal rate, but song 5 has been working for 2 hours, with my processor (2 core i5 w/ HT) working at 300% on the iTunes process.
    If I remove the song in question (something titled "Intro"), iTunes proceeds along, and hangs on another song in a similar manner. If I uncheck the requirement to convert to lower bitrate, the sync proceeds normally and all of the songs make it onto the iPod.
    Is this a problem with iTunes 11? Or should I be looking at an issue with my individual files? My library is composed of a variety of formats, from 128kbps iTMS files to ALAC CD-rips. If I can avoid it, I'd like to avoid converting the whole library down to 128 or 256kbps AAC and then dealing with duplicates. Any advice?
    Thanks,
    Dustin

    I am experiencing a similar issue with a 5th generation ipod nano.

  • Network card: e1000g (Intel PRO/1000 MT) did not working properly

    Hi to everyone!
    I'm having some strange trouble.
    All computers attached to one DLink gigabit switch
    Server #1:
    nf4-based motherboard, Intel PRO/1000 MT net card, onboard net card (forcedeth driver used) Ubuntu Linux 2.6.25 kernel version.
    All just working.
    Server #2:
    nf6-based motherboard, same Intel net card, SunOS 5.11 snv_86.
    All just working.
    Server #3:
    Same as server's #1 nf4-based motherboard. Same onboard card. Same SunOS 5.11 snv_86 as server #2 have installed.
    Its work. BUT..
    Intel card is not working as expected.
    It is seen by system. It is properly up and running. It is sending packent and receiving packets. Ierrs=Oerrs=Collis=Queue=0.
    But thru e1000g0 interface no one computer can reach this one, and from server #3 no one computer is seen thru e1000g0. Exept...
    Except two old Sunray1 devices (attached to the same switch for testing purposes)! But even these devices seen only by arp requests, and is not pingable.
    It is some mistery, but if I turn on jubmo frames, these rays got a picture from SRSS, testing on this sevrer! Not for long, heh, they hung up fast, but this is proof a physical connection :)
    So, I can not disable onboard network card on Server #3 - server becoming unreachable :(
    I know, those network cards must work on Solaris - as they did it on server #2. I know, those network cards work with my nf4-based motherboards - as they did it on server #1.
    But I can't uderstand, whait is going on with e1000g driver on server #3!
    P.S. Kernel driver e1000g settings are the same. All difference from servers #2 and #3 is: #2 had Intel netcard installed then Solaris was setting up, and #3 had Intel netcard installed later. All netcards are working (I trying to swap them from one computer to another - did not change anything).

    *) #3 thinks it is sending, but a NIC/driver error prevents it.NIC is fully health. It is tested on another PC. Driver error - or driver's bad implementation - is the one I'm thinking.
    *) #3 has a bad transmit pair of wires (would affect all communication)This patchcord works w/o problems on other PCs and even on onboard NIC of server #3.
    *) Network problemsHeh :)
    *) Firewall or other device is dropping the ARP repliesIt is some very stealthy and very selective firewall, affecting only external NICs :)
    BTW, then cord is attached to NIC, it sends "who has this IP" requests, asking to be shure there will not be an IP conflict. No one seen this requests.
    *) #1 has a NIC/driver error preventing it from seeing the reply.Only for send from #3? It is like a firewall on #3 :) And, there is more PCs, not only #1-#3. No one can see #3's replays (or asks), not only #1..
    I'm repeating: this PC works in network now on onboard NIC w/o problems. But onboard NIC is only 100 Mb/s, and we need 1 Gb/s.
    I was thinking, Solaris took wrong MAC for NICs - but not, ifconfig shows the same MACs as marked on NICs.
    Even more, yesterday i plumbed e1000g1 - second Intel NIC in server #3. And I was surprised - it worked perfectly!
    But I make "touch /reconfigure; init 6" - and after reboot, no one of two Intel NICs working again :( They both have the same behavior - no one can see packets they sends.)
    I even try to restrict connection on 100 Mb/s by driver's .conf modify - it works, link become yellow instead of green (take a note, NIC is able to "speak" properly with switch!), but all other stay the same.
    Strange, really strange behavior. More strange is a fact this NICs work on another instance of same SunOS, but on different motherboard, while the same MB with same NIC is working w/o problems under Ubuntu. Looks like some bug in Solaris driver.

  • The Connect from Intel Pro/1000 T to 1000base-t Port on Catalyst 4000 (WS-X4412-2GB-T= module) Not Working Properly

    The connect from Intel Pro/1000 T to 1000base-t port on Catalyst 4000 (WS-X4412-2GB-T= module) is not working properly. The Intel Pro/1000 T NIC connects to a 10/100 OK. Auto-negotiation is set at both ends. We can successfully ping across the link. However performance is so poor as to make the connection unusable.

    When an Intel Pro/1000 T NIC is connected to a Catalyst switch, the customer may see poor network connections or excessive numbers of dropped packets. The problem arises when a module with a TBI interface transmits an odd byte packet to a receiver with a Gigabit Media Independent Interface (GMII).
    The interoperability issue is a result of the implementation of Carrier Extension. Carrier Extension is detailed in sub section 35.2.3.5 in the IEEE 802.3 specification. Carrier Extension can be used to pad the last byte of a packet, so the packet is aligned on an even numbered boundary.

  • T500 Intel Wifi 5350 is unable to connect automatica​lly with Windows 8.1

    Hello, I have searched the forums to see if there is a similar problem like the one I am having, but, did not come across. I bought my T500 in 2009 with XP installed. I have recently installed Windows 8.1 and started to experience problems with my Intel Wifi 5350. Upon restart, the driver is unable to connect to my home wifi. In order to connect, I need to go through trouble shooting and reset the wifi link, which, then, fixes the problem. When I first installed Windows 8.1, I did not have this problem. It seemed to have happened after a few auto updates.
    The driver software I have is 13.3.0.137 with a date of 8/15/2010. Driver provider is Microsoft. 
    I downloaded but not yet installed Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software for Windows 8.1 Wireless_17.1.0_De164.exe. I am not sure if this will fix it. I wanted to ask this first before I do something. If you have had this before or know the answer, could you please post specific links to which drivers I should install manually? Thanks! I appreciate if you could be specific in your responses as I am not super tech savvy.

  • New Intel WIFI Wireless Network Adapter does not recognize Wireless Router

    I have had a Linksys BEFW11S4 Version 4 Wireless router for quite some time.  It works like a champ and I have one Laptop wired to it and a second using Wireless working just fine.  Recently, I received a new ThinkPad W500 Laptop with an Intel WIFI Link 5100 AGN wireless network adapter.  The older laptop that works just fine with the router uses a
    11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Express Adapter by Atheros.  However, the NEW laptop with the Intel Adapter fails to connect to the Router.  It will either indicate a failure while "Waiting for Association" or it will indicate a failure when waiting to "renew IP Address".  Sometimes, it will show a signal strength close to ZERO (Even as the older laptop with the other adapter is showing a signal strength close to 100%) When I called Linksys support, I was told that the facts that the Router (a) works find with the wired Laptop and (b) works fine with the 11a/b/g NEtwork Adapter and (c) works fine when WIRED to the new laptop all indicate that the problem is NOT with the router at all -- but with the Network Adapter.  Can anyone tell me what has to be adjusted in the Adapter settings?  Right now, I am using IBM Access Connections for BOTH of the wireless laptops.  I have made sure to set IDENTICAL values for SSID and WEP (128-bit) [static] password.  I have also ensured that all OTHER settings are the same for the two laptops.  Yet, in one laptop, there is NO PROBLEM while in the other, I can not get the Wireless Adapter to "see" the signal from the Router.  TO further check this, I have [temporarily] disabled the WEP password, enabled SSID broadcast, and disabled the MAC address restrictions that I put in (so that the system would be totally "open") yet the Intel Adapter STILL did not "find" anything.  In addition, when I use the "Find WIFI" feature in Access Connections, I find that SOMETIMES the network with SSID is found and sometimes, it will display "unknown network" and not pick up the SSID.
    This is all very frustrating.  If anyone has experience with the Intel WIFI Link 5100 AGN Adapter, I would appreciate any hints, tricks, ideas, etc.
    Think you!!!!
    --Zvi

    I installed the LATEST version of IBM Access Connections as well as verifying that I have teh LATEST drivers for the Intel Wireless NEtwork Adapter.
    What now happens is that I am able to authenticate to the Router.  However, I get a failure on "renewing IP Address" -- which [according to the diagnostic message] means that the Rotuer fails to provide me with an IP address to use.  Do you have any suggestions?

  • Playback of low bitrate flv or f4v from live stream in FMS causes player buffer to empty

    We are experiencing a consistent issue when playing a low bitrate (300kbps or less) flv in a live stream from FMS.  Basically, the player will will start off with the appropriate buffer, say 5 seconds, then begin dropping until it empties out, and will have to rebuffer.  We've tried with a variety of flv and f4v files, all that are 300kbps or less, and we consistently get the issue.  Is this something Adobe can investigate in FMS?  Or are there any suggestions on how we can get around the issue?

  • Cloud vs. Local Files - is iTunes streaming lower-bitrate versions?

    Hello,
    I wanted to wipe-out my entire music library and play everything off the cloud, in order to save space.  However, when I stream music, it sounds like iTunes Match is streaming a lower-bitrate version of my song. There's very little bass. If I click the little cloud icon to download the song, and then play the local version, it sounds great.
    Anyone else notice this?  Is there a way to work around it?

    Hi,
    I have been having similar problems as you. These problems began to raise its ugly head about a month or so ago.
    I have found that using add to iCloud is not working. Constantly sticks at sending info and things work when I stop process then select update match. I have opted to use update option immediately after adding new tracks and seems to work most times.
    However, I have been encountering problems recently when the process sticks with a few tracks still outstanding. I believe the problem occurs when the process has been interrupted and the tracks have partially been processed. To correct this problem, I have to open another library where I can see the music that's been matched or uploaded. The tracks causing the problem are greyed out. I delete those tracks and go back to my main library where the I cloud status is shown as "removed". I had previously tried to delete those tracks from my main library and readd them but this did not work because of the partially processed tracks.
    I have previously been able to resolve most issues by holding shift (PC) / option key (Mac) whilst turning off match  then turning back on. Unfortunately I seem to be using this option more frequently recently.

  • Help - iTunes Converting mp3s automatically into VBR - Low Bitrate?

    Hi Forum Members: New kid on the block. I've been very lucky not to have too many problems with iTunes.
    I just placed several mp3s into iTunes via the folders/file selection. For some unknown reason it converted all those mp3s into VBR mp3s with a lower bitrate.
    There is nothing unusual about these mp3s. Their bitrate is mixed at around 196 kbps to 256 kpbs.
    I didn't use Import or ask iTunes to convert?
    Any clues as to what is going on? Or how to fix the problem.
    Thanks, katydidit

    Hello CasperGemini:
    In answer to your first question, no it didn't ask me?
    My Preferences > Advanced Tab > mp3 encoder, good quality, 128 kbps
    With iTunes changing the format to 114 kbps(VBR) at 44.100 KHz is quite close to the 128 kbps, however, it's rather odd that it would do it without asking (as you mentioned).
    My idea was to keep the files at their existing kbps per second and then convert within iTunes using the "right-click" option.
    I've also had problems with iTunes converting on import. If I take files/folder from my computer (not CD - already on system) and bring them into iTunes via the Import method (I've specified the importing size, etc.) it doesn't convert them to the specified encoding, e.g. m4a to mp3?? I end having to convert within iTunes (right-click).
