I have a Y560 Lenovo IdeaPad
, my config: i7 740QM, 4GB RAM, RADEON HD 6570m/5700 1024MB
and my network adapter is Intel WIFI Link 5150
. The laptop is 2 years old and the problem I'm about to describe is present from the first day.
As may be seen here, the receive bandwidth should be up to 300 Mbps, but the maximum download speed from LAN and using torrents is about 2.4MB/s. My internet connection is 100Mbps and other laptops in my house have the appropriate download speed - up to 12MB/s, I have tested at my friends house and at my job, the speed remains the same. I have tried all possible configurations I could think of in network settings - nothing helps. I use Windows 7 and I have had installed different versions (Ultimate, Professional, Home, OEM Home, 64 and 32 bit versions). Some time ago I searched for the problem and found one or two threads that had the same problem and there were something said about a limitation in firmware that some experienced users have managed to bypass. Updating drivers didn't help me either.
Is there any reliable way to fix this?
