super slow wireless since upgrade to win 7

so i have a hp pavilion dv5….somewhat nice laptop but was running vista….so i downloaded win 7 from here and loaded it up lastnight….windows 7 works great but i have wireless speed problems…
if i connect using my ethernet cable then it works just fine and is fast
if i connect using my wireless it connects and works but is extremely slow since the upgrade to win 7
it say that everything is working properly and that i have the latest driver installed for the wireless network adapter…
i don’t know what happened but i used to play online games before the upgrade and now i can barely surf the net when i’m wireless….remember no issues at all when i’m hardwired….
does anyone have any suggestions….
Answer #1
I presume you got the right drivers…..Available here from HP.

To check speed, do a speed test and compare wireless with ethernet connections..

Inssider is a handy app that can check wireless signal strengths and possible degrading due to co chan interference etc..
