edimax 7727IN W7 x64 lag

JamesN

im running windows 7 x64 and it's quite laggy with the internet, i get 3/5 bar wireless signal. My laptop runs windows 7 beta fine and gets 4/5 to 5/5 signal and runs at 6mb/s and 1.25mb/s, but i want to be able to use my desktop because its much faster, and generally better.

I've tried drivers, installed the windows 7 driver from the edimax site but no joy. Everytime i log in it will flash limited connectivity twice then connect. It didnt drop out.

However, now it refuses to connect to the wireless network saying its either the wireless card or the router. As i said before, ALL other devices work fine on the network.

Any ideas guys?

Thanks for your help!

Not sure why you having problems I have this pc card on my server windows 7 bets and two other pcs with windows 7 all 64bit and is fine, in fact I run vnc on my pc now (my gaming rig) to connect to server and its fine.

I get 200-260 Mbps on server its around 40 foot away from router in integral garage

JamesN

interesting, could you check the driver you're using for me? i'll try download that one.

I got driver off there main site 3.0.30 ralink

I only updated my hardware at start of December as I got n network I also upgraded the servers aerials to 5db

Server is still running windows 7 64bit beta 7100 but I have it on full version on two other pc's

ahh ok, is there any way to stop windows 7 from managing the wireless? because that might be what causes the conflict?

May also be different cause i use G, not N wireless.

JamesN

ok, i'll have a look and see

hmm, i got the latest one installed which is newer, driver version 3.0.11.0 released on the 11-26-09. and it still doesnt work. It wont pick up my routers signal, it is not listed. Maybe it's a router issue?

JamesN

right, well i've got the connection back and it's varying between 3 and 4 out of 5 bars for signal.

But connection is still slow, i'm gettin 0.6mbps download and 1mbps upload. SIGH lol
