Cisco Routers :: RV042 WAN Port Gives Poor Performance Most Of Time
Jan 1, 2013
I have 2 RV042 routers with identical firmware (1.3.13.02-tm) and settings. One router is a backup that sits in a box, but both experience this problem. The WAN port gives very poor performance most of the time. Download speeds range from normal, 25mb, to less than .5mb. Pings from my command prompt or the routers "Diagnostic" page, even to the cable modem, are almost always above 500ms. However, pings to internal resources are fast, usually under 5ms. If I connect my laptop directly to the cable modem I have no speed issues. The problem occurs whether I use WAN1 or WAN2.
If I restart the router, speeds are fine for a few seconds and then it begins to slow down like someone is turning down a dial. We also regularly experience a complete internet disconnect quite often, and when it happens, the ping results are the same when it comes back up, almost like the router is restarting itself. [code]
We have recently purchased some Cisco 3750x switches and we are getting complaints from users that the performance is poor when both the PC's NIC and switch port are fixed at 100/Full?
There are no errors or collisions on the switch interfaces so there is no obvious problem on the switch. The PC's are standard DELL Optiplex 755/760's or gx 520's.
Any performance issues when configuring the switchport to 100/FULL?
It took me some time to get the load balancing (RV042 V3, v4.0.4.02-tm) working (my provider ist not returning any packets by the gateway ip on a ping). No I am ruinning into a performance issue. After activating PrtotectLink it takes a few hours or one or two days and the RV042 is reacting very slow. I need to reboot the RV042 and everything is ok again for some time ....Deactivating ProtectLink does not work only rebooting speeds the system up again.ProtectLink ist useless this way, anything I can do to get ProtectLink working?
I have an RV042 VPN tunnel with an RV082.The RV042 has a public IP Address obtained by PPPoE, the RV082 has a public IP Address obtained via Static IP.The problem I see is a really slow performance. Both internet conections are idle and the performance is about 2 or 3 kbyte/s My question are if I should I enable any of this:
- Agresive mode - NAT Traversal - IP Compresion - Dead Pear Detection
having a very strange problem with a Cisco 1861 running - Cisco IOS Software, C1861 Software (C1861-ADVENTERPRISEK9-M), Version 12.4(24)T5
The issue -I have suddenly started to get performance issues with downloads and access through the ZBF. Without the firewall enabled and just having NAT enabled and routing , downloads perform as expected - ( have been using Itunes download as test file ) - with the ZBF enabled , and the necessary rules installed to inspect & allow traffic - downloads stall - and the only way to get the downlaod to start again is to pause , then resume. The stalls are anything between the first 25 - 120 secs.
I have debugged and performed packet traces - but cant see anything untoward. I have also placed another router ( just a cheap Belkin ) on the ADSL service and again , the downloads work as expected.
one further thing to add is that when im tunneling through the firewall ( VPN ) , then downloads do work as expected - suggesting that the issue is with native HTTP(s) traffic.
I have upgraded from T4 to T5 - and the symptons still remain - I am thinking that these may have been introduced when i upgraded to T4 a few monthes ago.
I run my virgin broadband through an old NTL modem and a Belkin router. I haveit all attached to a computer in my study along with a new 6TB Buffalo Nas drive. The computer has GIGABIT LAN. I use Belkin powerline units to relay the network around the house. In my lounge i have a blu ray player, AV amp and my sky box attached to the network via the Belkin powerline units and all run ok. This week i have added a Cambridge audio streamer but i am suffering now from a lot of dropouts and network failures escpecially when trying to stream music from my NAS. all seem to be set up correctly as per the manuals. I have spent a lot on this unit specificallly to stream my music so this is really important to get working correctly The powerline units can flash blue (fast ) or orange (slower) but i only see the orange light .My local dealer says i need to upgrade my Modem/Router and has suggested an ASUS RT-N66U which I understand is a modern 2.5/5ghz model . he says my system is overloaded
A few questions.
Is this a suitable modem for me to use on my Virgin cable broadband? (apparently there are two alternatives types of modem/router) Is there a better alternative unit ? Could there be another cause for my problems and if so how do i diagnose them ?
I replaced a Dir-655 at a coffee shop, with a new dir-655 a few weeks ago. They keep calling and saying that Windows clients are not working and that Mac clients do.My first thought is that they are overloading the router but I would think that all computers would have problems not just the Windows computers. could the router be so bogged down that it takes to long for DHCP request for windows computers assigning the IP twice?
We use MS RRAS services behind a Cisco ASA 5520. In testing the performance I have found that we can only get a little over 2MB of througput when connected to the VPN server over a broadband connection. I have verified that the issue is not the RRAS server itself as I can connect to VPN from the LAN and the througput tests at 300-400MB. I also connected to the LAN directly on the outside of the firewall and only get 4 or 5 MB from there which does not seem right. None of the switches are showing any errors. I believe that I have the passthrough stuff setup as I should. I even went through these steps as recommended by Cisco.

I am using 2 WAP4410N in bridge mode with WPA2 Security.The bridge seems to be stable but i get poor transfer rates.Distance between devices ~ 8m - nothing between.Wireless networkmode: N-Only, Channel: Auto, Channel Bandwitdh: 40MHz (also tried auto and 20MHz)Firmware 2.0.2.1 because got different problems with 2.0.3.3One side is connected to my LAN other is connected to a notebook.
I have a Catalyst 4006 with Supervisor II engine. I have 48 port 10/100/1000 blades installed in it for connection to my servers. I am having a lot of problems with performance when connecting servers that are using 100 MB NICs. The speed of the connection is really bad. I have attempted setting the ports and NICs to 100MB Full duplex instead of auto-detect, but still get the same results.
I also have a 10/100 quad-port card installed in a NetApp filer. All four ports are trunked together and connect to 4 ports in the Catalyst. The ports in the Catalyst are trunked using the Port Channel feature of the CatOS. When I look at the port statistics on 3 of the 4 ports from the quad-card, there are a ton of runts and errors (both transmit and receive). The 4th port is fine, no errors.
I recently purchased an EA4500. It started out working really well, but recently I noticed that my speed on my iPhone and iPad has dropped significantly. When I'm in my office where the router is set up, I'm getting around 15 to 20 mb download speed and 5+ upload speed. When I go to my living room about 40 feet away my speed drops to 1mb down and less than 1 up. I expect to see a drop in my performance the further away I get from the router, but this seems really unacceptable to me.
The wireless connection barely registers in the Speed Test within Cisco Connect - .56 download, 5.35 upload. A cable connection gives 2.4 download and 5.5 upload. The E900 is not far from the computer with no obstacles between.Is the wireless portion of the E900 set up improperly? Is there anything I can do to improve the wireless performance?
We have two Cisco AP541N running our wireless network in the office. They're configured with the same SSID, so that people are automatically switched between the two access points depending on their location in the office.
Frequently we are experiencing very poor performance of our wireless connections and it seems to be related to when 4-5 clients are connected to one access point. After restarting it (which also moves the 5 clients to the other access point), the performance problem goes away for a while.
I've upgraded one to firmware version AP541N-K9-2.0(1) (the other is running AP541N-K9-1.8(0)), but it doesn't seem to work.
A few days ago I received my DIR-655 I ordered off Amazon and hooked it up. There were no problems the first day after initial setup. The next day I noticed that I was losing internet connection even though the wifi indicator on my laptop said otherwise. This happens for about 5 minutes at a time and on other devices such as my desktop and my iPad. And I hopped on Call of Duty last night and played a competition with some friends and gave everyone 4bar connection. Later that night, I was playing some more and people that connected to me received 1bar connection and I got that in return on their connection. I feel that the router isn't working with my devices right?
We are using router RV042 since last three it's working fine with single broadband connection but when we are using as a load balance it will hanged three or four time in a single day. I have updated firmware also but still my problem is not resolved
Below is my router detail. CPU: Intel IXP425-266 Firmware version : 1.3.12.19-tm (Feb 13 2009 13:03:21) DRAM : 32M Flash : 8M
Latest firmware is v4.1.1.01-sp.bin but it will required v3 hardware, I don't know how to check hardware version.
I have EA4500 acting as a router on domainless all-Windows network of two XP machines.Unfortunately, EA4500 aggressively grabs the role of the Master Browser (I am talking about Computer Browser Service) on the network (regardless in which order you power the devices up) and then doesn't serve as a working Master Browser - both Windows machines stop listing the network computers in the "Network Neighborhood" and incur massive timeouts when attempting to view the listing.A quick look with 'browstat.exe status' reveals that indeed the router has announced itself as a Master Browser device, but returns errors when you query it.Quite predictably, without the router, both machinces figure out amongst each other who will be the Master Browser and everything works fine. The problems begin only when you add the router to the network.
1) Is there any way to make EA4500 work like a full-blown Master Browser (the one that not only announces itself, but also serves as such)? having a Master Browser integrated in "always-on" router would really improve the predictability of the network.
2) If not, is there any way to disable the Master Browser on EA4500? For now I managed to achieve that by assigning the router to different workgroup name, but this is lame, as I now can't connect a disk storage to the router and use it within the same workgroup.
We have a remote site connected to ADSL line with a Cisco 887VA router attached. This has been working fine for the last couple of months. However, recently, the site have started to complain of performance issues (network slow, applications disconnecting, etc)Looking on the router, we can see evidence of packet loss/timeouts from a simple ping to the internet e.g. [code]
However, we have logged the fault with our service provider and they return all line tests as clear but what is particularly strange is that they also report “and the SNR Margins are well within threshold levels (Upstream 11.5 and Downstream 15.0)” which, unless I’m misunderstanding something, seems to be completely different from what the router itself is reporting.Is there a reason why the service provider’s stats for Noise Margin would appear to be so different from what the router is reporting?
Im getting really poor performance on my 1841, my intial thoughts was a duplex mismatch however although im getting a few CRC errors (root cause unknown at this point) not enough to suggest that the this is the issue.
Heres the config:

I am backing up massive amounts of data to the cloud. Everytime I do this, the wireless performance on my EA4500 seems to degrade to half its throughput. I am using the 2.4 GHz band.
I have a RV042 and have set it up for VPN Client access using the QuickVPN client to connect my remote users. I discovered today that I cannot have two users connect in at the same time. Both users are in the same remote office. They can connect individually with no problem but if one is connected and the other tries connect also the second user gets a message the gateway is not responding. They are both running Win XP PRo SP3.

I just got a new RV042. V3 Hw.For setup and testing before putting it in action, I've attached the WAN1 side to my internal network.But it fails to get an IP address, and the log shows: "Infinite lease time, exiting".My current router on the LAN is giving out DHCP addresses with 3 hour lease time, and I've checked with the PC's on the LAN that this is correct.The routers DHCP status shows that the lease time for the RV042 is 3 hours ahead.So why does the RV042 complain about long lease time ?Is there a way to avoid this error from occurring?
I have tried to change from 'Gateway' to 'Router', but this does not change anything.Also tried a factory reset, with no luck.Fw is upgraded to the latest 4.0.4.02
I have RV042 and E4200 routers . I tried the manual UPnP port forwarding using Rv042 router and was succesful ( by typing 192.168.1.1 in the explorer and logged in using user name and password )
I am using a linux embedded system whose Internal IP ,Internal port are mapped .This system is connected to one of the LAN ports
I want to try auto UPnP port forwarding both for RV042 router and Linksys E4200 routers
After enabling the Upnp option only and logging out ,Can i add a port mapping entry in this router without logging in using a C++ program which runs on linux embedded system .
We have several of the SG300 Serices switches. We use them to route VLAN traffic to Remote Offices, Internet Connections, and WiFi Access Points.In one remote office we have a SG300-10 setup to route the HQ Network and the remote Office Subnet. The SG300 is Connected to HQ via Fiber and has multiple Tagged VLANs on it. If I do speed tests over the Fiber Link on the Incoming Tagged Netwotk I get Decent performance, 80Mbs. If I switch to a networtk that is not priginating from HQ, and have the SG300-10 route packet, I get dismal performance. 15-20Mbs.
I Fireded up a New SG300-28P FW v1.2.7.76. Added a the HQ VLAN 101 and new VLAN 1025 . Mapped some Tagged and untagged ports for each. Switch was connected to HQ Network as untagged VLAN 101. I put a laptop on an Untagged VLAN 101 port. Ran some tests, cam back with 750-850Mbs. Great. Put the same laptop on a Tagged 101 Port, Configured the NIC for Tagged VLAN 101, Same test, same Speeds, 750-850Mbs.I then Configured laptop for Tagged VLAN 1025. Connected to tagged VLAN 1025 port. Ran speed tests, resuts were 15-20Mbs!
I then Configured laptop for Untagged VLAN 1025. Connected to unagged VLAN 1025 port. Ran speed tests, resuts were 15-20Mbs!It was only the Laptop and the Connection to the HQ net on the SG300-28P. Why is the performance of this unit soooooo poor when it needs to route?Other Switches have FW v1.0.0.27 or FW v1.1.2.0. They have Similar speed issues. All Configured for Layer 3.
I am having poor performance through an IPSec VPN between two Cisco ASA 5505s. In researching, I found some discussion about setting the MTU for the VPN. So from one side of the VPN tunnel, I tried pinging a host on the other side specifying the Don't Fragment flag and testing different packet sizes. I found that a size of 1398 is the largest packet size that results in a successful ping.So, I also understand that I should be able to set the MTU to 1426 (1398 + 28 bytes for the IP and ICMP headers). What I'm not 100% clear on is where all I need to set this. Do I set the MTU for the outside interface of the ASA that the VPN tunnel is going through, or do I also need to set the MTU for the inside interface, or on the outside interface and the switch port that the interface is connected to (switch port is set to an MTU of 1500 as well)?My thoughts are that only the outside interface of each ASA needs the lower MTU (currently set at the default of 1500).
I'm experiencing quite a slow vpn performance. I've tested different scenarios.
* Windows XP with built-ín pptp client and Shrew ipsec client * Linux built-in pptp * wireless and wired connections
I never managed to go above 1MBps neither with windows or linux. I managed to go up to 3MBps using the Shrew client.I've also checked mtu settings and everything seems to be fine.
I have a RV042 Dual Wan. Two internets balanced wow! who would've thought that the headaches were waiting patiently right down the corner.
I was working with a 2wire Gateway that came with my ISP. I was able to open the ports in order to have public access for my students and teachers to upload their work. All I had to do was to allow my server ip address to have access to different ports blocked by the ISP. I used [URL]
I bought the RV042 for various reasons like excellent content blocking, load balancing, quick vpn, among other. But I just can't open the port 80 while having having my two ISP connected with load balancing, not even while having only one modem connected.
I have resolved many issues using the protocol binding. I have tried everthing. I just don't undertand something.
Whenever I connect my server to my old router, "www.canyouseeme.org" tells me that my port 80 is open. Whenever I connect my servet to the RV042-DW, my port appears closed.
So it's not any OS issues.
I've tried:
- To forward the TCP 80~80 port to my server static ip address... but failed
- To enable UPnP function with the same port... but failed
- To configure the port triggering with the same port.. but failed.
- To disable the firewall.. but failed.
- To use transparent bridge in the WAN1 with my 2wire Gateway... but failed
- To set up an account in DNS.ORG already had one, everythings is in green.. but failed.
- To change the configuration in my old 2Wire Gateway router to allow a DMZ zone so all ports are public... but failed.
- To assign RV042 router ip address in my old 2Wire allowing that specific address to allow certain ports to be public... but failed.
I'd like to use load balancing with the RV042, but I have some devices that don't react well to not always using the same outgoing port (like a credit card machine, for instance). Is it possible for me to create some "rule" with the RV042 that an internal IP address will use a certain WAN port? And if so, when that WAN port goes down will the RV042 fail-over to the other active WAN port? I was able to do this with a Xincom XC-OPG502 (which is being replaced with the RV042).
Currently I have the RV042 router working in a dual WAN set up, it is configured to accept connections on numbers of ports like 80,443, 25 and forward them to a local ip.
The problem is this only works with WAN1. Is it even possible to forward ports for connections coming in over WAN2?
I want to know if is possible to publish a port of an internal server to be accesible from internet but only from a specific IP.I know that in Setup menu exists Forwarding but it allows to publish ports to all internet no matter the source IP.
I have a RV042 with Port Forwarding configured for RDP. This Port Forwarding Rule is being applied before my ACL - so subnets that are not authorized through are being allowed in. Firmware version 4.0.0.07.
I have RV042 router which is connected to the internet by both the wan ports and I want to use it as a load balancer so that both of my internet connections can be utilized evenly. But now I have an issue in this scenario as my remote application gets logout whenever the communicating IP address changes. Is there any way out so that I can specify the wan port used for a particular public IP address/domain name?
