It seems like you are experiencing slow internet speeds after switching to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit from Vista 32-bit Ultimate. This issue could be related to drivers, configurations, or compatibility problems. Here are some steps you can take to try and resolve the slow internet speed issue: 1.
Update Network Adapter Drivers: - Make sure you have the latest drivers for your WUSB600N network adapter. Visit the Linksys website and download the most recent drivers compatible with Windows 7 64-bit. 2.
Check Compatibility Mode: - If the current drivers do not work well, you can try running the driver installer in compatibility mode. Right-click on the installer, go to Properties, then Compatibility, and select a previous version of Windows to run the driver in compatibility mode. 3.
Reset TCP/IP Stack: - Resetting the TCP/IP stack can sometimes help improve network connection issues. Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run the following commands:
Code:
netsh int ip reset netsh winsock reset
4.
Disable IPv6: - Sometimes disabling IPv6 can help with connection issues. Go to Network and Sharing Center, then click on the connection, and uncheck the IPv6 option. 5.
Check Power Management Settings: - Make sure your network adapter is not set to power-saving mode. Go to Device Manager, find your network adapter, right-click, select Properties, and under the Power Management tab, uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power." 6.
Check Router Settings: - Ensure that your router settings are optimized for performance. Check for any QoS settings that may be limiting your network speed. 7.
Run Network Troubleshooter: - Windows has a built-in network troubleshooter that can help diagnose and fix common network problems. Go to Control Panel > Troubleshooting > Network and Internet > Network Adapter. 8.
Test on Another Network: - If possible, test your network adapter on a different network to see if the issue persists. This can help determine if the problem is with your computer or network setup. By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the slow internet speed issue on your Windows 7 Professional system. Let me know if you need further assistance or if the issue persists after trying these steps.
