just an example i just did a speed test via speed test .net and the pb gets 7.72 mbps down load and 0.46 upload speed vs my acer laptop at 17.8mbps and 0.45 dwn load , what gives ??????

[kbz1960]

A wipe and or debrick may help. Is it only internet speed? Also what are your router settings? Security type etc.

kbz 1960 im new so if u have the time ,thats great thanxs.

[thekidshop]

what is a wipe and or de brick , how do i find the router info, the thing is why does my laptop so much faster. fyi the email on pb is fast , much better than my 9900

[kbz1960]

You access your router thru a web browser, search for your brand and the IP address. Go to the manufacturers website and find the default name and password for your router and info there. In wifi make your security WPA and use AES and TKIP if both are a choice if not AES

[kbz1960]

BTW my laptop is faster than the pb but not the drastic difference you say

[kbz1960]

A wipe and a debrick will delete everything on your pb so if you end up doing that back your stuff up by either copy and paste to your computer or thru DM if it will. To wipe you press the gear, security, security wipe and type blackberry. A debrick is shutting your pb off, make sure it's off, with DM open on your computer plug the pb in while still off, a popup will come and choose update and or repair.

If internet is the main issue I'd try the router settings first. I'm headed to bed now but I'm sure if you need more help someone will be there to do so.

ok ill see if i cant change that info , the router is netgear thax

[thekidshop]

thanks for the help ill keep u posted

[thekidshop]

So I shout the pb off and plugged ot into the laptop and it did a remote of the os lost all my apps ect. Not to worried about those really. In ur opinion will the new os update ie the bb10 help the pb run a bit quicker?? One would think so eh???

[kbz1960]

Yes I think it will. You can get your apps back in app world.

[thekidshop]

yes ur right i can get most of my aps no probs, the pb is still the same ie 28 sec to fully load cb site and even after its loaded there still is checker boarding happening??? it shouldnt do this correct. even did a test tethering my pb to my 9900 data exact same results... if u can run the same test on urs and let me know how urs is like . im lost not sure whats up with it but im willing to listen and try thing out .

cheers

BTW I have a dual band router and my pb is slower than my laptop. The pb is on the 5ghz channel and everything else is on the 2.4 channel.

CB is a heavy site. You can turn java script off and it speeds it up a lot. If you find you need java script you can turn it on when needed and back off when not. Java script is used for some functions on here for the likes etc

im going to do a speed test now on both and let u know what it is k so for the pb it varies alot for some reason my dwn load speed is from 14.89 mbps to 20.76 mbps and my upload stays about the same ay 0.48 . my laptop is 23.3 mbps dwn and 0.48mbps up load ,why is ur upload so much greater than mine ??? my router is a netgear n600 dual band .

[kbz1960]

Download and upload speeds all depend on what your ISP provides and you pay for. I have Comcast Xfinity

[thekidshop]

cheers

[kbz1960]
