Title: Windows 7 & Wireless.
Post by: psp83 on Oct 14, 2009, 17:31:36
Sucks! Well it does!.

Ever since installing RC1 on my laptop i've had nothing but problems with wireless connecting and when it does, its slow as hell.

Today i turn't my laptop on, first time in a week and it just refuses to connect to any wireless again. I connected by ethernet, did a windows update and there was a new wireless card driver. So i installed that. It now connects but pinging sites at over 3000ms, takes forever to load anything! The laptop next to it was fine, 23ms ping to the same website.

Its a Dell XPS m1530 laptop.

Anyone else getting or had the same problems?

Hope they've fixed the wireless problems on the RTM's.

/Moan over now  ;D

I've had no wireless issues with Windows 7 on my Dell D630, with either the beta, the rc, or the full release via MSDN

I do have a problem with Firefox and W7, if the laptop goes to sleep, FF takes up to 5 mins to recover.
