Hey everyone, just downloaded and installed 8 Pro. I love it, but my internet is extremely slow now. My wife and I were streaming netflix last night and it kept buffering. It never did this on W7.

I just did a speed test on my phone and got 4.9 Mbps. I did the test on my laptop and I got .89 Mbps. I tried updating my drivers but it says everything is up to date.

I did an in place upgrade because I didn't want to have to deal with moving music/pictures/files back and forth this time. Any help? Thanks!

Computer is:
HP Pavilion g7-1019wm Notebook PC
Intel Pentium R CPU P6300 2.27 GHz
4 GB Ram
Windows 8 Pro 64 Bit

Hey Man, just fixed the issue on my XPS M1330, the problem was with the included Microsoft driver for my wireless card.

I have updated the driver with drivers from Dell's website and it works perfect now.

Check out HP's website for Windows 7 64bit drivers for your card, Believe it would work for same as it did for me.

Enjoy
