Intermittent slow/no connection issues: Anyone else have this problem?

Solved the problem. You have to turn off the "home group" in windows. Once that's off, you'll have a flawless connection that no longer drops.

Not really, mine is really fast even with weak internet conections. And using slow software is surprisingly fast in this computer. Mayve you have some software issues?

that's going to be a network related issue. Before thinking it's your computer, contact your Internet Service Provider. They will have technicians that can assist you.

Honestly the one I received was absolutely terrible in both internet speed when it was able to connect... Which was barely ever. I'm sure you are able to considering it is xp but good luck getting a better model than me.

I have a cable modem and I occasionally have quality problems. I haven't figured out yet if the trouble is with my network, the player or Netflix. Sometimes I'll get a message saying that the connection is too poor to even connect, so I click OK, reconnect, and generally it loads at high quality. Or sometimes it will load at medium quality so I'll stop the playback so it will load again. More often than not it loads the second time at high quality. It's kind of quirky.I can't answer your question, but thought I'd share my experience. Oh, and I have a 46" Samsung tv.

No! There are still some bugs that need to be worked out. It will connect sometimes but when it doesn't it causes pauses in every application untill it connects.

I am having the same issue that Lisa reported. I have three computers. Two have no connection issues, while the one using the Medialink adapter is constantly losing its connection. Sometimes, it will connect to our network and that little yellow triangle will show up, telling me I have "No Internet Access." I have power cycled my equipment multiple times to no avail. I work from home, and I can barely get my work done, because every time I try to do some online research, I either have an excruciatingly slow connection or no connection at all.Edited to add: I have the 64-bit Windows 7 and, unlike Lisa, I used the Medialink CD to install the adapter.

I have experienced the same problem twice in two days. I also have a huge problem streaming Netlix video, in spite of my lightning fast internet connection.

There is a chance the problem is in your power settings. Mine wants to continually revert to "power saving" mode rather than high performance. The problem with power saving is that it severely throttles your internet speed. Check there and see if that is your problem.

Slightly but I would still stay away from this particular model and go with the newer version. When it was not in use and I turn on wifi it is quite slow connecting and I still can't use two wifi items without on being really slow. hope this got back to you in time

In most cases buffering and failure to connect to server are internet issues. A Wi-Fi signal booster will help. I purchased a Amped Wireless for about $85 and have not had any buffering issues since. This should solve your problem

I had a similar issue and contacted my ISP. The rep tested the signal strength and told me it was low because I had one of their older cable modems. He upgraded it at no charge and I haven't had any problems since. My cable company is notorious for always upgrading their hardware, but only new customers get it until you complain. Hope this helps.

In the same boat. I get wifi connection drops after about 2 weeks. Not sure what the issue is, it's something out of a early 2000 episode.
