Q&A: can i use a Netgear WNDR3700 router for a samsung r780 laptop?

the samsung r780 has windows 7, but the router’s system requirements are Microsoft Windows ME, 2000, XP or Vista. can i still use this router for my laptop? or what would i need to do to make it work? please help

yes, the only reason it doesn’t say windows 7 is because windows 7 wasn’t out when they released that router for sale – it will still connect fine

touch screen laptop.I have a samsung r780 laptop and my rommmate has an older and less high performance dell model. We are on the same internet connection, I even tested both laptops using the same ethernet cord. According to speedtest.net, his is much faster than mine. Is there something in the settings of my computer slowing it down, or what could possibly be the problem?

Apart from having sufficient RAM and processing speed below are the few tips to deal with slow internet:

1.Try and user Google chrome Its light weight and fast you can get it for free from the following URL http://www.google.com/chrome
2.Download any good System Cleaner such as Reginout from Intel Software Directory (http://ibx.intel.com/directory/ ) to clear Browser history and cache because when the cache gets full, your browsing will slow down.
3.Make sure system is free of Mal wares and viruses use Avast free and Malware Bytes (FREE)

4.Sometimes your DNS server is not fast enough you can experiment with some third party DNS server Such as OpenDNS http://www.opendns.com. I tested this with two ISP connections found it very useful with One of them, didn't get much difference in case of second ISP.
5.Always try and use a download manager. There are many free options available
6.Make sure your system firewall in enable and managed to stop unwanted internet traffic
You can control access of programs to internet using windows Firewall
