Windows 7 Slow WWAN Performance on Windows 7 Build 7057 with GlobeTrotter Connect USB Module

[itayl2]

Hi,

I'm using the 7057 build of Windows 7.

for the past few days I've been trying to solve a problem with my WWAN module - for some reason, it is extremely slow (1mbit instead of 2.5mbit)

I've checked the same module on other computers and others OS's (also different OS on same pc) and it worked fine.

but on on Windows 7 (7057 and previous build), for some reason it's very slow. tried disabling the firewall - didn't help.


Any suggestions? :\

btw, the module is the GlobeTrotter Connect USB (iCON 225).
the latest drivers for it are Vista, nothing more...


Waiting for the salvation :\
