Hi, Since today every video or RAR file I download is corrupt, my computer connects wirelessly to my router. It doesn't matter whether I download using Firefox or IE, files are still corrupt, it reaches 99% pauses for a while and then completes. Files show correct size but no thumbnail. I have: Disabled Antivirus Disabled scan after finish in FF settings System restored back 48hrs Tried different sized files Used VLC and WMP to playback videos Restarted modem and router Clear Temp and IE Temp files My laptop downloads and plays back the same videos wirelessly from the router fine. Also I can use a direct wired connection from my computer, downloads fine. Any suggestions would be very appreciated.
Did you by accident uninstalled your SATA or motherboard drivers? I had a similar issue once, but it was with XP, when I installed it on my old computer. If not, just to rule out a driver conflict or something, re-install them (download the latest version from your working laptop, of course)
Well if it's fine with the cable then perhaps your Wi-Fi card needs replacing. Try uninstalling and updating drivers.
Thanks. I didn't uninstall anything but I will check anyway if I have any problems in devices. Then reinstall the nic driver next. I may get a powerline network soon as I am having a headache with wireless lately.
to rule out wireless connect to your router and disable wireless then try to download something, does the same happen?
