When im at my girlfriends house for some reason using my laptop the internet gets very slow for no reason and gaming I get lag, one minute I wont be lagging and webpages will be loading very fast and a few seconds later I get really bad lag and also webpages are extremely slow to load. My girlfriends laptop and all other PC's in the house don't have these problems just mine. Also at my own house my laptop works with internet no problems at all.

Is it possible to connect your laptop using a cable for troubleshooting purposes?
If so, please connect the laptop using a cable to see if you still have lag if you use a cable.

This is so we can verify if it's the wireless connection or the internet connection itself.

Olrik

Can you please give us the make and model of your laptop so that we can see if getting you a fresh driver for your wireless will help.

You can do it yourself if you wish the first thing that you will need to do is to open your device manager Type devmgmt.msc in your run box this will open device manager find your wireless device,it should be listed under network adapters, right click it then uninstall.Make sure that you check the box that I have highlighted in the shot below.

Reboot your machine.

Now with your machine plugged directly into the router go to your laptops manufacturers website and download the wireless driver for your machine.Now see how your wireless performs sometimes drivers just become corrupted which I believe is the case here.

Also you can try the following.

Lets change your dns setting to a faster more secure connection.

Change your dns to the below.

Preferred DNs 208.67.222.222

Alternate dns 208.67.220.220

Its an Acer Aspire 7736G windows 7,

Ive got into Device manager and uninstalled my Intel ® Wifilink 5100 AGN because it seems to be the wireless one in my Network tab? but whenever I delete it and restart my computer it automatically installs it again even though im not using an Ethernet cable.

Hello there,

Do you know if you have the same issues on other wireless networks?
Do you use wireless at home as well?

Ok please try and update your wireless driver and your chipset driver with DriverMax.I am providing a screen shot to make sure that you uncheck the highlighted boxes when installing drivermax.You should always look and read everything when installing software on your machine because sometimes things like this slip by and we wonder "How did that get on there" I dont remember installing that"

Hey Ive looked through this and tried some off the stuff but I don't want to be paying for programmes and my Anti Virus is advising my not to download that program because it isn't trusted, also some of the stuff wont let me make files i need because of admistrator or something, even though I am the admin on my computer. I don't really understand whats going on tbh, is there any simpler ideas?

Ok but you only get two free driver updates with drivermax per 24 hour period so just do the intel and chipset today and the other advice I gave to you.
