Hello I just reformatted my computer with the same windows xp i had on my system before but now my internet is slower atleast when I download my speeds are cut into half. I used to download at 500-600kbs now im down to 200-300kbs very slow on every website. I do use a wireless Linksys Wet11 device as well but right after I reformatted my internet connections download speeds were cut in half. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I do not think its the Wet11 device causing this problem because it worked perfectly before the reformat and I tried contacting linksys support and they just make you feel like your stupid when they do not know anything.

Thank you

Hello btucker and welcome to G2G,

2 quick questions that I need answers to, then we will get started.

1. Are you using XP home or Pro? Please inlcude what Service patch you are using also. This can be found by clicking on Start, Run, type in: sysdm.cpl and hit Ok, Click on the General tab, Copy down all the information located between System and Registered to, and post it back here.

2. What drivers do you have loaded for your Linksys Wet11 device? Here is how to tell: Click on Start, Run, type in: devmgmt.msc and scroll down to network adapters, right click on your Wet11 device and select Properties, click on the Driver tab, and then the Driver details button, Under driver files copy down what is in the white box and also what is listed below the white box for Provider, file version, copyright and Digital signer then post all this information back here.

Thanks.

Uninstall the WEt11 software and just use windows WZC....
