behr Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 My wireless network is much faster on Vista than XP. I am using the same hardware and same XP driversfor the wireless card. Only operating system is different.I read Vista wireless network has a better error packet recovery. They were saying they would do something similar in XP Service Pack 3.But, I don't see any improvement.So, I am curious if I can copy some binaries and registry keys from Vista to XP.Is this possible?Thanks.

Xavierxray Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 If Vista is using\forcing the card to use 11G mode only while XP is using mixed mode (11G\B) then that would give a clear difference in speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how to check what 802.11 is used.I looked at the driver settings and turned off 11A and 11B support. I checked direct download speeds and XP and Vista is similar now.Are there other things I should check like some registry keys?Under wireless properties, there are QoS packet scheduler, IPV6/IPV4, Link Layer Topology. Do they effect the speed?Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
