    Vista Home Premium. Admin Account WiFi Speed Good. Other User Account Speed Not So Good.

    I have two accounts setup on my laptop, one for myself which is the
    admin account and another for my wife.

    My laptop can connect to my router without any issues and the signal
    strenths are strong, but the problem I'm having is that, for some
    reason when my laptop's connected to my router using my account, the
    internet download speed is satisfactory.

    But when my laptop's connected to using my wife's account, for some
    reason the speed gets so slow that most of the time it takes a long
    time to even load webpages, let alone being able to stream videos and
    etc.



    One thing I probably shoud mention is that, the half-minicard in my
    laptop is 801.11n capable but my router's capable upto g. I'm using
    WPA-Personal between my laptop and my router.

    I was wondering if someone can suggest some settings or configurations
    I can check to see if something can be causing such a difference in
    the internet speed between the two accounts?

    I don't think this is a hardware issue between the laptop and the
    router. Thanks for your time and courtesy.

    Do a test and put your wife's account as admin as well and see if the speed improves. If it does improve then it might be a setting somewhere that we need to research for unless someone else has any suggestions. If the speed stays the same then it might be an issue with her profile.

    Maybe it's just because it's Friday after work, but the question we all need
    to have answered is: "Gee, what's wrong with his wife's profile?"
