New Laptop, Windows 8 and Internet Problems
So yeah, I got a new laptop, Asus N56V which came bundled with Windows 8. When I initially got it, everything was working grand, except for one key, so I sent it back. It came back today, and when I was trying to access the internet, it was sooooooo slow. When I first got it there was no problems at all with the internet connection, so I was kinda surprised today that I was having problems. In any case, I am connected to a wifi network, and I know that there is a viable internet connection since I can post this and besides, my housemate is on skype with her boyfriend.
Any troubleshooting tips? I've tried disconnecting from the network and reconnecting to no avail.

Re: New Laptop, Windows 8 and Internet Problems
I think its technically possible to bottleneck your connection, but I doubt that anything was changed by that. Make sure you're the only one on the network and that nothing is downloading (if you just got it windows might be automatically updating.) My connection to anything else is shit when I'm downloading, but works for pages like this.

Re: New Laptop, Windows 8 and Internet Problems
Currently restoring to factory settings to see if that will change anything, anyways I haven't installed anything on it yet. I ruled out problems with the internet connection, since I am still able to post here using my Ipad, also my housemate was able to skype with her boyfriend with no problem at all.

Re: New Laptop, Windows 8 and Internet Problems
I really doubt its a hardware problem. And if it were you'd have to open it up to check, and I believe that instantly voids your warranty and right to a replacement. Do laptop motherboards still have the wireless card slots, even? Or is it just built in?

Re: New Laptop, Windows 8 and Internet Problems
if you're using a router, obtain a static network IP and DNS that does not collide with another computer's.

Re: New Laptop, Windows 8 and Internet Problems
So far, still no luck. Any solution to "wireless hardware not bound to transport driver"? And please, my knowledge is of noob level, please nothing too technical.

Re: New Laptop, Windows 8 and Internet Problems

Downgrade to Windows 7. Windows 8 is a Stalinist Conspiracy to turn the PC from a free nation to a closed enclave.
