[QUOTE="SimonMac, post: 1553512, member: 316165"] I travel a lot and have a Windows laptop and a MacBook Pro (2010, Snow Leopard). Recently, the Windows laptop has really been slow with a wireless connection. It either doesn't connect properly, or just runs really slow... I do the Windows network check and it cannot find the problem. At work we have a wireless network. I took my machines into the IT department to get them hooked up. The technician said that the Mac was interfering with the Windows wireless connection. He didn't give details and I don't know what he did. Now at work the Windows laptop seems okay on the wireless network but in my hotel it is back to really slow again. Can anyone give me advice as to what to do? I have looked through all the Windows network options and I cannot see anything that needs to be changed. Obviously, in a hotel I don't have direct access to the router. I can talk to the technician but he won't be able to help at my hotel, although maybe he has some advice. Some clear steps and explanations would be helpful (I am using Windows 7). [/QUOTE]
