Slow Internet via wireless

mdog · 09-09-2013, 02:28 AM

First off, I've been in technology for many years & worked on many platforms.

I purchased a NEW Lenovo Yoga 13, IBM Thinkpad port replicator & a Dell 24" Ultra wide monitor. After a few weeks, I noticed some slowness; didn't pay much attention because I work 10hr days. Was off on vacation last week when it became unbearable. Called Verizon; they drop shipped a new wireless router. Installed & tested throughput via desktop -> 12-15Mbs consistently.
Tried same speedtest on my Yoga13; still 1-2Mbs.

Clean boot -> Wireless speed rose to 12-15Mbs. Slowly added services & drivers until I came to the DisplayLink Manager driver. Whenever its enabled, my Wireless Internet speeds TANK & I still haven't heard back from support.

Hi,

Do you have a USB connected dock? I ask as the ThinkPad Port Replicator is not a DisplayLink enabled product.

Thanks,
James
