For example, if a family member is downloading music in their bedroom while you're trying to stream Netflix, you'll probably notice a decrease in speed. Try an Ethernet connection if you're using Wi-Fi. For the best chance at the fastest connection speeds in Windows 7, opt for a wired connection instead of wireless when possible.
Ethernet connections have lower latency and no chance of wireless interference. Method 3. This method removes a bandwidth limit that's reserved for apps running on your PC, which often results in speedier internet connections in Windows 7. Type gpedit. A folder-looking window will appear. Double-click the Administrative Templates folder. It's in the left panel under Computer Configuration.

Click Apply and then OK. Both options are at the bottom-right corner of the screen. Reboot your PC. Once your PC is back up, it will no longer limit the amount of internet bandwidth used by Windows applications.
Method 4. Clear your cache. If you notice slowness while browsing the web, it may be due to an abundance of temporary files on your computer. Select All time from the range menu, check the box next to "Cached images and files," and then click Clear data. Disable extensions and plugins.

When you choose to use Windows 7' high performance power plan, you might increase the computer's performance in some but not all circumstances.
It really depends on the kind of work you're doing and how often you allow the computer to sit idle. For more about how these plans operate, see Evaluate the efficiency of Windows 7 power plan settings. If you're using a traditional spinning disk in your Windows 7 system, you can keep your system operating at peak efficiency by periodically defragmenting the hard drive.
If, however, you've opted to go with SSD-based storage, don't do this. First, you won't get any performance benefit and second, you'll significantly reduce the life of that expensive SSD.
Disk defragmentation is scheduled to take place once per week, but you can change this by going to Start Accessories System Tools Disk Defragmenter Figure D. In addition to changing the schedule, you can run an on-demand defrag from here. You can also run a defrag from the command line instead of from a GUI. Bill Detwiler's video explains how. Windows 7's search is good, but it can also affect system performance. If you really need to run a tool at full tilt, you can disable indexing altogether.
Or you can tune the indexer to meet your specific needs , possibly reducing its overall impact on system performance. Perhaps you don't want to jump into the solid-state game right away but would like some of the benefit that can be had from flash-based storage. Note that if you're already using an SSD as your system drive, ReadyBoost won't be available, since there would be no performance gain. ReadyBoost allows the system to make use of one of these speedy storage devices as a cache, improving overall performance of the system.
The flash storage device that you choose to use for ReadyBoost should meet the following specifications set by Microsoft:. Here's another nice feature: If Windows doesn't think ReadyBoost will provide a performance gain, it will tell you and won't let you enable it. Use this process once in 15 days if you browse the internet extensively and download a lot of files during the usage. Your browsing and download speed and overall system efficiency shall be better optimized by using both the above solutions.
Background applications most of the time are essential to keep the system running. However, if you have too many bloatware apps or in general loads of applications in your machine, they are bound to consume unnecessary data and power. If you are facing power draining issue simultaneously with slow internet speeds, that could just be one good hint to background applications being the root cause. Some apps constantly keep running in the background even though they do not actually contribute much to the routine activities on the system.
Sometimes, they might be unnecessarily being prepared for occasional use! The solution to these apps which eat into the internet speed and battery is straight forward. Either get rid of the applications by uninstalling the same or disable it temporarily. This will increase the internet bandwidth available and also prevent battery drain during a bulk or huge downloads.
Potential reasons for slow download speed Download speed could be slow due to various reasons. Note: By using this 8-step solution, the Windows update will not get disabled.
