HP Mini Guide

UncleSpam · 10-26-2009, 01:00 AM

Had this issue on my HP 5101 with Windows 7. The computer would connect to my Wi-Fi network and then either drop the link speed or disconnect.

This seems to be an issue with Vista as well, from the stuff that I was reading, but it certainly was an issue on my setup.

The settings for the TCP/IP stack were set incorrectly by default.

As administrator, I used the following netsh command:

netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=highlyrestricted

DISABLED may be used in place of HIGHLYRESTRICTED, but that may cause other connection problems.

All's well with my Wi-Fi, with very fast transfer rates and 130 Mbps connect speeds.

Use autotuninglevel=normal to set it back to default.

I never had that problem with either vista or win7, honestly I think this is from people being paid by apple to spread rumors.

Uncle Sam:
Do you think this applicable only to secure WLANs or that the auto tuning levels work better on unsecure networks?

I have huge problem with my transfers 0,78 when it could be 20 ... over wifi.

I would so want to go away from XP but when I installed fresh copy of that It seams like I had the same problem..
I'm using Win7 Ultimate on a Mini 5101 with the broadcom chip.

Thanks for all help!
