Hi,
I tried this post in the laptop forum with no reply.
I been working at a new job for a few months now and use a Dell Precision laptop. While I'm at the office it's connected to the company network via a wired connection with no issues, except loading internet pages can either take minutes, if it loads at all. Sometimes the pages will load up with no issues. It doesn't matter which site I go to either. I was having a virus/malware problem a few weeks ago and the guys in the malware forum helped me through that and it works fine now. What I've noticed is that when I use the laptop at home it runs painfully slow. It could take 2 minutes to open Explorer or even open a folder in explorer. Starting programs takes way too long as well. Internet pages also load inconsistantly, like at work. I'm connected to a wireless network at home. I'm guessing there is a network setting or something that's causing this but I don't know what it could be.
Any suggestions would be great.
