Q&A: Why is the Wi-Fi connection on my new Toshiba Satellite C55-A laptop so slow?

Posted on November 28, 2013

toshiba-satellite-c55-aQuestion from Mark V.:  I bought a brand new Toshiba Satellite C55-A laptop from Best Buy a couple of months ago, then had to go out of town on business for 6 weeks before I could even open the box and try it out.

When I got back home I hooked it up and found out that the Wi-Fi connection is really SLOW!!! I know it’s not a weak signal from the router because both my 5 year old HP laptop and my iPad 4 get great wireless speeds in every part of the house.

I’ve tried everything I can think of, including resetting Windows 8 to the factory default. No luck!! Any ideas? Neither Toshiba nor Best Buy were any help at all since I had to wait so long to try it out!

Auoace No Stud TV Wall Mount

Have you ever tried attaching a TV mounting bracket to a wall only to find there were no studs in the places where you needed them to be? And don’t get me started on the difficulty of using drywall anchors!

Or perhaps you moved a TV to a different place and were left with unsightly anchors and/or holes in your wall?

Well, this gem solves both of those problems. You can mount any VESA 12-55 inch TV (up to 99 lbs) without drilling any holes in your wall or needing to locate any studs. And if you ever decide to move the TV you won’t be left with any ugly large holes, anchors or screws. This is hands-down the best way to install a TV on your wall.
