I installed Windows 7 Pro in my AOA150, dual boot with WinXP or Win7.
Everything still works good with XP. However, with Win7, my internet connection (wifi) is not stable, everything else is working:
1. When browsing some websites (e.g: amazon.com, cnbc.com,etc), sometimes, it loads everything, sometimes it just stops loading after loaded partial page.
2. When downloading big files, it stops or the speed becomes VERY slow like 1kb-3kb after initial normal speed for a few seconds. The normal speed is around 80-120kb/s as I have 1MB line. It usually starts with good speed like 80kb-120kb/s but then it drops to 50kb/s then 20kb/s then continues to drop until 1-2kb/s or stop downloading.
3. When checking email, the email program downloads a few emails then hangs on 'downloading' and times out later.
Tried the following methods with no improment:
- Windows updated the Atheros driver to the latest version: 8.0.0.238
- Disabled TCP Auto-Tuning: netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
- Use older Atheros drivers
Is this a Win7 internet setting problem or the wifi driver? Do you guys experience the same thing with Win7?
Thanks in advance for your helps.
