    I just got my new laptop it work fine with the wireless connection, but 4 hours later the internet slow down for some reason. I figure out that i have to connect the battery with the laptop to make it run fast. But, I dont like to connect it to the battery cause if I do that the battery will have problem. So, I need help to figure out how can I do to make my laptop internet run fast without connection to the battery charger?
    P.s it only happen to my laptop in my house for some reason, a few of my friends brought their laptop and nothing happen to them. But, if I connect my internet wireless at somewhere else it work fine, it just happen in my house for my laptop.
    I need help >< please and thank you

    Hi

    What is the exact model of the Dell Laptop and what Windows version are you using, I will guess at Windows 7?

    I'm first off thinking that its a power saving feature that needs adjusting and to check try this in Device Manager click and open Network Adapters and then double click your Wireless hardware, to open its properties, then click the Advanced tab and click Transmit Power and choose the Highest setting, also do this for Wireless Mode, choose the highest setting.

    then open Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options and then click Change Plan Settings next to the main option you have (personally I have it set to Balanced) then click Change Advanced Power Settings, click Wireless Adapter Settings and then set them to say my settings of

    On Battery - Medium Power Setting
    Plugged in - Maximum Performance

    Reboot and see how you go.

    Also what security applications do you have installed, please name all?
