First, thanks for taking the time to respond.
Here is the details about my adapter:
I pay for 75 MBPS service from Verizon Fios. I was on the phone today with them and we did sped test on the Pavilian, the Envy and my work computer that I brought home. The Envy was the slowest of the three running at best in the 30s. The best was y old Pavillian and right under it was my work lap top.
As I understand it the adapter sets the bankwidth so that if the bankwidth on the Envy only goes up to 65 MBPS it is going to feel like it is running slower. So does not that number (65 to 130 MBPS mean anything?
But I guess another way of looking at this is that when I called up HP and said I was not happy with how fast my computer was working with the Internet, is it too much to think that they should have been able to configure a computer that was faster than the one they had sold me not long before that?
The second question is whether the computer they sent me can be configured to get the same download speeds that the Pavillion is getting. Or if we want to forget about the Pavillion, get me to speeds thattI am paying Verizon to provide. Otherwise I am wasting money buying the faster connection.....
As to the other questions you asked here are some specifics
Envy 15 Notebook PC. Product number: E1P05AV
Realtek RTL8188EE 802.11bgn Wi-Fi Adapter
The Pavillan is a Pavilion dv6 Notebook. Product No. A3E82AV. It was also Windows 7 64 bit.
The adapter it has is the Intel Centrino Wireless N 2230.
I cut and pasted those specs from the computer so they should be right.
Again the two questions I am trying to figure out is (1) Should HP be able to advise me that I should upgrade to a "faster" machine. By faster I mean that seems to be more responsive and quicker regardless of whether technically that is the right term.
Second, is this Envy capable to geting faster bandwidth (if that is what the MBPS is measuring)
I guess there is a third question: is the speed each computer downloads and uploads on the same network the best sign of which is providing the appearance of faster sped.
Thanks all for your gracious help.
