Windows 10: Very poor connectivity...

Cute pup.

If you go into device manager and show hidden devices you should see the 3165 listed and you can remove.

I believe your modem is a modem router combo.

 

I just physically removed the wifi card. Still having problems. One of which was the USB dongle was set to turn off. Changed this setting...but without rebooting the laptop I still did not have any internet....

There does not seem to be any other networks in range.

Can you change the modem / router to channel 6. It does show a signal strength of 100% so that is good although not sure where you are in relationship to modem / router.

Notice that your USB dongle is capable of some impressive receive rates yet your modem / router maximum speed is 54Mbps, basically a G class radio.

Could you share what device you have as a modem? How is your internet provided, cable, cellular, etc?

 

Doug, If You have your own modem/router, you can check for a firmware update for your modem/router.
Centurylink uses DSL 2.4 GHz and their max speed is only 54Mbps.

 

Modem is a Zyxel C1100Z. ISP is Century Link. Slowest DSL they offer, 1.5MBPS. We live out in the country, every one has 5 acres. My neighbors network will often show up. CL knows of how overloaded the old copper system is, they are claiming that we will be on a fiber optic network by July 2018. But they also claimed that for January 2017. I am sitting about 20 feet from the modem, with 0 obstructions.
I switched i over to channel 6, no different.
Like I have mentioned, my old Linux machine has zero issues uploading images..and staying connected. Now I get a lot of DNS, server, that page is not available errors.

 

Firmware is up to date....

 

Just put 18 images on a USB stick, fired up the Linux machine and uploaded them with 0 troubles. With my WInblows 10 machine I can not even upload a single image without it failing....

 

I have 2 of Centurylinks modem/router, 1 is a Actiontec PK5001A, the other is ZyXEL PK5001Z, both have great range on Wi-Fi.
I Wi-Fi off my sister, distance between us is about the size of a football stadium. signal strength is 10%..
I have to use a out dated driver for the RTL8188EE adapter. newer driver will cause it to connect on IPv6.

If you can access our antenna lead/s check for continuity, broken wire can cause issues with connection.

 

Leads in my laptop? I no longer am using the internal wifi card...it is sitting on the table next to me. I am using the USB wifi dongle...and the problem persists.
I have all but given up on this. If I can figure out how to make a bootable USB drive I may put wifi card back in and try running Windows 8. Or just do use my Windows 10 disc. Beginning to wonder if the problem has anything to do with Dells updates. This is the very reason why I used to really enjoy having a desk top, that I built. Never had to Deal with all the bloat ware and updates that the the manufacturer insisted that the machine needed....
I will be editing my pictures and putting them on a USB stick than using my old dinosaur to upload them. This machine has gotten to the point that when I try to go from page to page on the same web site it won't, I get the server...proxy....network problems etc page.

 

Sorry Doug. In post 32 of this thread I gave you a link to specific instruction on how to create a bootable USB stick and the location of Win 8 software.

Did these instructions not work.

For this card and I saw mention of IPv6 this link will show you how to disable IP6V in Wndows 10

Well....I thought I had a Windows 10 Disc that was not being used but I did not. I tried to install Windows 8. DId all the updates...and it would not boot. So I purchased a ISO image from Microsoft. I followed your directions from the earlier post...get a message saying missing driver. I think....I am a bit drain bamaged right now...need to go to bed...will report back with what error message I am getting.

 

No, they did not. Followed the directions and got this...crap, cant load the picture from my phone..media driver is missing. Could be cd usb or hdd etc.
My truck broke the other day. Need my laptop to diagnose it, really need to get this resolved...can't even upload the picture using my data plan on the phone...

 

Have no idea why or how but apparently there was something wrong with the image I downloaded using the library wifi. I went and sat in front of a little food joint that has a decently fast wifi. Downloaded the ISO again, use DiskPart to set up the USB drive and got it to install. I used the same link that the Microsoft store sent me when I purchased the ISO on every attempt to get this thing up and running. Have no clue what was wrong. I will ask the library manager if they have anything set up that may have caused some sort of issue with the download. Sadly I have no idea if this will resolve my initial problem yet as our internet has been at a crawl all night. I just checked my d/l speed, it is at .05 mbps and the upload was .8 mbps, which is actually faster than what we are paying for....go figure.
I noticed that several of the local phone service boxes in our area all have the same odd symbol painted on them, all in the same color. I am hopeful that this means the fiber optic upgrade is not that far away. I sure hope it is....getting very tired of the 20 or so mile trip to the library/food joint to have decent internet speed. I have found the only thing I truly miss from living in Mesa Az compared to our rural setting.....the cable internet. If I remember right we had 65-70mbps in Mesa....

 

Morning Doug.

So when you say you got it to install that was Windows 8?

Did you get phone connected?
