Satellite L875D-S7332 wi-fi slow down/connection

Hello, I've had my Satellite for just under two years now. I never really had any problems with it before hand, but now my Wi-Fi is giving me fits lately. It doesn't want to connect to my home network half the time, and when it does, it moves at a terrible rate of speed. I mean less than dial up speeds. I recently moved, and was using my cell phones mobile hot spot for it. Oddly enough my laptop will have no issue connecting to the mobile hotspot, but if I try to connect it to my home router, or if I take it out in public and try to hit another hotspot such as a resturaunts, it will have issues connecting, or connect and be incredibly slow. My OS is windows 8 (unfortunately) I've tested other devices on the router and they all work fine, so it's not a router issue. I've also tried uninstalling/updating my drivers through device manager. Finally I've tried using a cable to connect directly to the router, and the net will work just fine when I do. That's how I've got it set up at this moment. Thanks for any help that can be given.

I'm experiencing the same problem with my Satellite P875-S7310. Laptop was working just fine and had some windows 8.1 updates applied on July 26th and it's been downhill from there.
I even did a complete factory reset which has taken my laptop back to 2012 version since it was purchased in January 2013.
I'm at a loss and cannot connect via wireless even though all my phones and devices are working fine via wireless and know it's just a laptop problem.
I have no idea what do to do!!!!!?

Satellite L875D-S7332 sound issues on Win 10 upgrade

Hi all, I upgraded my Satellite L875D-S7332 laptop from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 this weekend, and have been trying to troubleshoot a sound problem since. The sound appears to hitch intermittently (every 10-20 seconds or so) emitting a buzzing noise from the speakers. I tried updating to the most recent Realtek HD audio drivers and rolling back my Realtek drivers, both of which made no difference. When I revert back to Windows 8.1, everything sounds fine again. So I think it must have something to do with the sound card or driver's compatability with Windows 10, but I could be wrong. Windows update wants me to upgrade again, and I'd like to, but the sound's got to function right. Specs:Satellite L875DAMD A6-4400M APU with Radeon Graphics 2.7 GHzRAM: 6.00 GB I'd appreciate anyone's help, as I'm at a loss at the moment.

Wow - sound like you are having a bad time of it with the upgrade. If you have an AMD APU processor - which I assume you have, like A6, A8 etc. Usually AMD has integrated drivers for both the video and the audio of the computer. Have you gone to AMD's website with your specific APU (Integrated Processor and GPU) to see if they have updated drivers for Windows 10? Your laptop manufacturer, (I assume HP) should also have them, but HP seems to be asleep at the switch with this OS release. Check out the AMD site and do a search for your specific APU. There should be some integrated drivers for Windows 10 posted. Usually you just execute the .exe file and it installs everything. It would be worth a shot anyway before you revert back to Windows 8. And....yes you can easily roll back to your last Operating system. Here's a link to an article on how to do this: http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/how-to/windows/how-downgrade-windows-10-to-windows-7-8-3615606/

Windows 7 on Satellite L875D-S7332- Usb Controller not Identified.

Usb Controller not Identified in device drivers.Somehow I just cant get USB Controller Drivers for this laptop and Windows 7. I read all the posts on this site and none of them helped.Do you maybe know the exact drivers so l can add them to windows 32 bit directory and manually install them as all other methods failed. I attach a drivers screen print.

Solved this in an unorthodox way. I had a Lenovo driver disk for a machine that also uses AMD and therefore likely the same chipset. I installed the usb drivers for the Lenovo from the Lenovo disk and it worked ! Attached is all the USB controllers it now finds.I attach the new screenshot of devices So if anyone have a similar problem, try the Lenovo USB drivers. I find it peculiar that Toshiba doesnt have these USB drivers on their download page for my model Satellite L875D-S7332. Maybe they should add it. It took a good 5 hours to try and fix this using Toshiba's driver page.

E12000 randomly drops/ slows down connection

So, i've never had to worry about my router, until a few weeks ago.... I had an issue with the internet dropping, or slowing down quite a bit (speedtest went from 27mbps to 0.2 - 2.7 mbps) which is barely useful, especially since I stream/download often. So, short story is, I didnt have a laptop that could hook up through ethernet and kept thinking it was the ISP's fault, finally got a hold of one and after they sent in a technician and checked the wiring, and troubleshooted with me, I realized the only issue was wireless, wired continues to work all the time. So, i upgraded the firmware, tried switching MTU to correct amount, changed to a standalone channel, and nothing seems to work..the beauty of it all is, im just past the 1 year warranty.... yay..... So, is there ANYTHING else I can do?this has been too frustrating and if I cant get this fixed I wont likely be using a linksys routher when im forced to buy one.

Hi Envymia! If you have updated the firmware, I suggest to reset and reconfigure it. In case the same thing will happen, play again with the wireless channel.

Multifunction printer slows down connection

Brand new FIOS double play installation (internet 20/5 + phone).
Scenario 1: Just internet = perfect speed.
Scenario 2: Connect a phone to my second wall outlet = still perfect internet speed.
Scenario 3: Connect my new Brother MFC-990CW multifunction printer to the wall jack and suddenly my internet speed drops by 25%.
Has anyone had similar issues?
Thanks.
Solved!

Would it be safe to assume this printer is wireless? And that you're looking at speeds over a wireless connection?
Hi.
Yes, it's wireless. But the problem only occurs when I plug in the RJ-11 cable. And yes, I did try to connect to the router via Ethernet, and the problem persisted.
The good news is that I have fixed the problem, despite what I was told by the Verizon reps at my store (twice).
IT'S THE FILTER STUPID!
In short, I went to Radio Shack, bought a Gigaware DSL filter and placed it on the fax line and my speed is back up. So, despite what we are told, DSL interference can, apparently, also occur on VDSL.

Satellite L875D-S7332, 17.3,3,

My Satellite is out of warranty as of last month-Nov.
I have reset my laptop back to factory setting and used it for 2 days and then on the 3rd day I powered up, I got the Toshiba Leading Innovations screen. It last for about 5 seconds and went to a black with no curser, instead it was replaced with the "none" in the upper left hand corner and a blue box in the middle that wants me to enter a password. I do not have a password.
Not 1 password I do have for the computer works on this screen. On the Side of my laptop, I have a "Security lock slot" what do I do with that slot?
I have been to a computer shop, Office Depot and with out it costing a fortune no one can do anything. It was suggested that I get a Windows 8 disc and it should reset the BIOS for me? I have just now ordered the Recovery Media disc, hoping that will help.
Does anyone have any help they can give me.

The security lock slot is for physically locking the laptop - like a bicycle lock.
Unfortunately, a Windows 8 disc won't reset a BIOS password. I know it's terrible timing with the warranty, but it would require servicing to remove it.

L875D-S7332 keeps dropping wireless connection

HELP!!!
I have 4 Toshiba laptops that will not stay connected to the internet. They keep dropping the wireless. My latest one L875D-S7332 has Windows 8 which is the the biggest PITA yet.
All of them drop the internet though. I have reset the Yubi router, updated all of the drivers, have unchecked the shut the device down checkbox. Nothing works.
I am seeing this is almost a recall issue for Toshiba. I even called Toshiba and they had no help. They were going to escalate to Level 2 but I never received a response.
Anyone have any other thing I can try.
It is in device mgr and it says it is working fine.
Thanks
Jack

It is the power saver setting. I realize the original poster may have already given up or moved on but for the benefit of others you want to make sure your power setting is on high performance. The easiest way to do this is to click the battery icon at the bottom right of your screen. Go into the settings or advanced settings and simply change to high performance. Yes, it will cause your battery to have less life but you won't be tempted to throw your laptop out the window for dropping your wifi continuously.

Toshiba Satellite L875d-s7230 Running Slow

I have a Toshiba Satellite L875d-s7230 that is running very slow. I completely recovered it back to the Factory out of Box state and its still extemely slow. I have checked the memory using Memtest and checked the Hard Drive and there are no hardware issues that are showing up. I have also checked it for rootkit Viruses and checked before and after the Factory recovery for viruses using Norton Interent Security 2013 and malwarebytes for Trojons/spyware. Of course it is a year and one month out of warrenty so I cannot get it repaired by Toshiba. Please anyone have any suggestions?

We don't know your tech knowledge so we start with basic info all these things can slow down a computer
Have you ran disk clean up and disk defragment?
Have you ran the chkdsk and sfc /scannow to check system files and disk errors?
Is the laptops vents clean?
If you recovered from the recovery partition it can also become corrupted and have errors - you may have to use your recovery DVD's.

Satellite A500-17X - Games slow down if I play on battery mode

Hi
When my laptop (Satellite A500-17X) is plugged in, the game I play (Call Of Duty 4) works very nice but if I try to play the game while my laptop is on battery the games slows down. If you know what I mean.
Is this supposed to happen because the graphic card doesn't work well when the laptop is on battery or is something wrong with my laptop?

Hi
As mentioned my Syntax, Windows power management decreases the performance of some devices like GPU or CPU using battery mode.
This helps to safe the battery power and to increase the battery working time
Furthermore your cooling modules dont run with full performance using battery and this would lead to a higher internal temperature which could slow down the CPU and GPU as well
So connected the AC adaptor or change the settings in power management but you should note that this will decrease the battery working time dramatically.

I'm about to buy a 27" i-Mac. I would like to connect my 30" Cinema Display to it as a second monitor. What will I need to do that? Will this slow down the overal performance?

The new iMacs do not come with a MiniDisplayPort, they have Thunderbolt, so unless you are talking about purchasing one of the previous generation iMacs such as this refurbished model in the online Apple store, it won't work. And yes, if you are going to get the full range of video resolutions you will need the Dual-Link version.
For details see the store's web page on the Dual-Link display adapter.

My browser takes minutes to open then when the tab is fully loaded it will start saying "Connecting" and slow down or freeze.

When I open my browser, it takes 3-5 minutes to fully open. When I get to a website, randomly the tab will say 'Connecting' and slow down and take 10-15 minutes to function or freeze completely. This almost always happens on sites that require Flash Player use. I have uninstalled and reinstalled my Flash several times. I've added memory, as someone suggested it was a memory issue. It's so frustrating, please help!

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

HT5730 After I installed 10.8.48.4 Internet browsing slowed down to the pace of a dial-up connection. How can I get back to normal operating speed?

After I installed 10.8.4, my Internet browsing slowed down to the pace of a dial-up connection -- unless it froze up completely. How do I get my system back to a normal operating mode? Can I dump 10.8.4 and go back to the one that at least worked?

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them.
1. Have you restarted your router and broadband modem since you first noticed the problem? If the answer is no, do that now and see whether there's any change.
2. Are any other web browsers installed, and are they also slow?
3. What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
4. Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they also slow?
5. If you can test Safari on another network, is it slow there too?
6. If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

Problem: slow connection. I have an iMac (2007) running on Mac OS X 10.6.8. I just had my internet speed increased from 1 to 3 Mbps but my connection slowed down considerably. Do I have to change any setting?

One possibility is that you may need to "Upgrade" your Cable /DSL Modem if you have an older unit. ISP's that provide your Internet service in recent years have been switching over from DOCSIS 2.1 version Modems to DOCSIS 3.0 version Modems, which handle the new higher data streaming speeds the ISP's are offering. I would suggest you call your ISP's Technical Support and inquire about this possibility.

IMac slows down wifi/LAN cable connection

Hello,
I came across a quiet unique and annoying problem, that I have not seen being discussed so far.
I spend the last 3 weeks trying to solve my internet/wifi connection following all kinds of posts here.
Problem: Wifi/Lan internet connection is slow (less than 0.8mbit/s)
Problem only appears when I login with an iMac via wifi OR lag cable
iMac, 2011 27`` Mac OS 10.7.5
Background:
I have a 20mbit/s internet connection with my provider. works fine on iPad, iPhone, appleTV HTC one mini, etc… BUT as soon, as I login with my iMac, the internet connection slows down to less than 1 mbit/s
I have tried following solutions:
- live box (router) was exchanged and is brand new
- security settings on router changes (wpa2 etc)
- all channels on router tested from 1-13
- keychain saved passwords for Wifi and router deleted, PRAM reset
- renewed lease of connected devices (no IP conflict)
- shut down wifi on iMac - connection with all devices great, as soon as i switch wifi on, all devices lose their high speed connection and go down to less than 1mbit/s
- connected iMac via LAN cable: same problem, all speed is lost
- iMac is not in the network - speed is great
- connected iMac via time capsule wifi, same problem. connected iMac via netgear extender, same problem
also, if I open network preferences and start the "assist me" app and run diagnostics, all dots are green except the ISP and server, bit most of the time they switch to green immediately, but connection is still slow.
Reception bar is on "3", so signal strength is no problem, and I´d like to emphasize that this is also happening on LAN cable. and again, if the iMac is disconnected from wifi AND / OR LAN, all other devices work fine.
Would love to hear your thoughts!
Thanks!

Although I have been on Mac OS for a while now, I have never had to troubleshoot faulty network in the mac itself.
OSX does apparently have a safe mode boot..
OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
Try that.. as that gives you the same thing as windows with all the extras left out, so you get a basic operating system only and you can see if the problem still exists.. if it does.. I would simply bite the bullet.. wipe the Mac.. reinstall the OS and then carefully reinstall your applications from original disks/downloads and move your operating files back .. but start a different user on the computer and copy back the min you need to get working again.
If the problem still happens even in safe mode boot then do a hardware test.. because it is possible something has actually failed at the hardware level.

Internet speed in Snow Leopard slows down because of connected External HDD

I have two external Iomega harddrives that I connect through FireWire 800 to my MacBook Pro 17".
I noticed, when the harddrives are plugged in, safari lags and slows down tremendously. As I eject my harddrives from my MacBook Pro, the internet miraculously comes back at normal speed. The harddrives are just mounted, no data is being transferred.
I am not sure why this is, or why external harddrives would bother my internet connection. I am connected through my Airport wirelessly to my home router. Other computers get wireless internet fine as I notice this problem with my MacBook Pro.
Anyone know why this is happening and how to stop it? I notice restarting sometimes helps, but this problem comes back after awhile.
Also while I am mentioning this, I also notice the internet slow down when the MacBook Pro runs on battery. Anyone know why this is, and how to fix it as well?
Thank you, and Happy Holidays to all!

I do not notice any connection between my external harddrives being connected and internet connection no more. So that is good.
What I have been noticing though, is my MacBook Pro at some points loosing connection to the internet. The Airport icon in the menu bar says it is connected to my wireless internet at full reception. But at times Safari and Firefox are just not working. I try reseting my internet routers and the problem still exists. It comes down to me having to restart my MacBook Pro, which seems to fix the issue.
I have a iBook G3 with Tiger, and a Dell laptop with XP, and they both receive wireless internet fine when in use. And this is while my MacBook Pro is not.
I am not sure what the issue is now. Right now I'm not sure if there is anything I can do to fix this besides contacting apple and using my applecare.
Is there any internet connection problems similar to what I just described I should be aware of? Thanks in advance!
