RESOLVED – Wireless speeds in Vista slow.
After LOTS of time and troubleshooting, finally figured out what’s causing my problem. It was my
Avast Free Antivirus “Network Shield” that caused the bottleneck. It was strangling my 15/5 Mbs down to 6/5. Uninstalled Avast, and wireless is back to 15/5. Am currently using MS Security Essentials until I can find something better.
Avast works fine in Windows 7, using both ethernet and D-Link wireless adapters.

I fixed mine by running this command on windows 7 after installing some Windows Updates messed up my network speed really really bad. In the command prompt type:

netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

You may also need to type in:

netsh interface tcp set global rss=disabled

The company I used for my Wireless LAN Setup was very knowledgeable and available 24 hours a day for any problems I may have run into. Check out their site http://www.turn-keytechnologies.com/About-Us.aspx I hope this helps you.

I had a 175MB file that Vista was quoting at 11 minutes transfer time.

1) netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled

2) netsh interface tcp set global rss=disabled

1) and 2) dropped the time to 3 minutes

3) remove differential compression Vista feature.

The 3) dropped it to 20 seconds.

Same problem – slow speed over wired network between two XP machines. Tried about everything suggested here with no success.

Updated D-Link network card driver, and everything fast again.
