D-Link DIR-655 :: How To Tell LAN Port Speed
Mar 21, 2011
I replaced my old netgear router, which died recently, with a shiny new DIR-655 on my gigabit wired home network. Now I see that file transfer from my NAS is very slow (about 1 megabyte per second). I would like to check if the NAS has connected at 1Gbps to the router. I was browsing the "stat" or "attached device info" in the routers configuration webpage, but could not find it. To be precise, I do see the connection to the NAS, but there is no indication of the connection speed

I have TL-WR740N router. ISP should provide me up to 100Mb/s internet speed. Actual measurements shows me about 80 Mb/s. The problem is when I enable 3389 port in Port Triggering my internet speed drops to 2,5 Mb/s. When I disable port triggering, speed become normal again.

I live in the tampa bay area, I have bright house (BHN) as my service provider, which provides a Road Runner Lightning (40/5) package. I previously used BHN's top tier (20/2) back in July (and prior) with no problems.
After converting to Lightning in August of this year (2010). Of course, BHN (and every other provider) wants to force a modem/router down your throat, so I had them bridge it (in short, turn it into a dummy modem with no routing). I had an SMC branded modem gateway at the time. I work from home 2 days a week (so I can spend more time with my kids during morning, lunch, right after work) and this requires me to use QoS to ensure my VOIP work calls don't get dropped, if the family is watching youtube videos or watching netflex.
My network was as follows SMC Modem >WAN IP>>WAN Port>>D-link DIR-655>>Switch Ports>PC1, PC2, PC3
Everything seemed fine (from a usability stand point) till about 2 weeks ago when my upload speed seemed to grind to halt. Normally I was able to upload about 200-300K per second, and I noticed this dropped to about 45K per second during a drop box upload. First thing I did was power cycle both my modem and router (in the proper/usual order). After they both come up, I start using speed test to find out what my upload speeds were. I was getting about 39Mbps down, but only .56Mbps up still. I factory reset my router.... test, similar speeds. Power cycle all computers (just in case), and then modem/router. Tested, similar speeds. Updated the firmware to the latest. Same issue
Called BHN customer service, they factor reset it, but it wasn't in bridge mode. If I by passed the 655, in factory mode (non bridge mode) upload speeds returned to better than expected states. If I bridged the cable modem, upload speeds seemed to crash.
Had BHN replace the modem, seemed fixed for a day, then issue came back. Had them come back out and replace it again, this time with a Motorolla Surfboard modem... same issue. Fine during factory reset, however after they bridge the modem, upload speeds were fine. Told BHN I would take it from there.. Connected up the DIR-655, and upload speeds crashed again. (.6Mbps). Called D-Link Support, and the Chinese English speaking rep seemed to not be listening to me and tried to have me adjust my MTU as well as Wireless settings. Long story short... the rep was a level 0 id10t and I hope D-link will consider hiring better employees/contractors. So I was all about to give up and replace it with a DD-WRT capable router (which it takes me a lot to want to swap hardware), when I discovered the wan shaping was on. Which I thought to myself... nah... QoS has never messed up before... why would it be the cause. Turned off wan shapping... and voila. Issue seemed to be insta-resolved.
Unsatisfied with that... I decided to dig a lil deeper. I turned on Wan shaping again, but decided to set the settings manually instead of auto detect.
Here are the settings I used... (Advanced Tab>QoS)
Enable Traffic Shaping - Checked
Automatic Uplink Speed - Unchecked
Manual Uplink Speed - 5000
Connection Type: Cable or Other Broadand Network
Enable QoS Engine - Checked Automatic Classification - unchecked (this checked seemed to affect my upload speed by about 5-10% during testing) Dynamic Fragmentation - unchecked (this checked seemed to be the worse enemy for upload speed)
While I know I'm not any network guru (still have to use a subnet calculator for subnetting), I think I did a pretty good job drilling down the issue (once I got passed my service provider replacing modems).
Anyways, I've had overall good luck with D-Link products, even have a 5 port 10/100 switch (all metal) from 1998 that works great. Hopefully, D-Link will just either put more documentation on the web, or hire better employees.

when I connect my DIR-655 to the Motorola SB6141 cable modem I notice that the link speed LED on the cable modem never glows blue indicating a gigabit connection, it only glows amber indicating a lower negotiated speed. I am using a Cat6 cable between the two devices and have also tried a Cat5e cable.
When I try and force the WAN port speed to 1000Mpbs in the router interface the cable modem link speed will not light at all with no connectivity. Only resetting to Auto WAN port speed restores functionality albeit at the lower negotiated speed setting.
I'm running the DIR-655 rev B1 at 2.03NA firmware level.
I did connect the modem directly to my PC that uses an Intel Gigabit ethernet card and still had the lower connection indication (Amber) so it seems that the modem might be faulty.

I have a DIR-655 that I have been using for a while (b1 revision). and suddenly I noticed my wifi speed fluctuates constantly. My lenovo Y580 sees speed drop to 130 immediately and then it can slowly progress to 1 Mbps until the hardware is all rebooted. Same happens to my Nexus 7, Dell XPS M1530 and to my roku. I have updated to 2.07 (since 2.10 is advised to avoid). And I have attempted changing channels or factory refresh.What Firmware version is currently loaded? 2.07What region are you located?
What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL? Cable (link speed independent of internet speed)What ISP Modem do you have? Stand Alone or built in router? Separate Motorola ((link speed independent of modem)What ISP Modem make and model do you have? Does not matter, router issue.If this modem has a built in router, it's best to bridge the modem. Having 2 routers on the same line can cause connection problems.To tell if the modem is bridged or not, look at the routers web page, Status/Device Info/Wan Section, if there is a 192.168.0.# address in the WAN IP address field, then the modem is not bridged. Not bridged
Turn off all anti virus and firewall programs on PC while testing. 3rd party firewalls are not generally needed when using routers as they are effective on blocking malicious inbound traffic. Independent of issue, not a factor
Turn off all devices accept for one wired PC while testing. Wired works perfect.Check cable between Modem and Router, swap out to be sure. Cat6 is recommended. Wireless issue.

I have an old PC in my Buenos Aires apartment, connected to WiFi by means of a receiver module - because the modem is across the room and too far to connect by cable...But I get the message that the device would work more efficiently with a high-speed USB port...If I installed a high-speed card inside the computer, would this improe my Internet speed? It hangs up quite a bit... but then again, it's a Pentium III, so there's that limitation too.

I have an RVS4000 with the following:
Firmware Version:V1.3.3.5CPU:STAR 9202
I believe it's a v1 of the RVS4000 as I've tried to put the 2.x.x firmware and I couldn't.
My ISP upgraded me to a 100Mb/20Mb down/up plan (Quantum 100 here: URL However, through my RVS4000, I get the following speeds:
Download Speed 18498 kbps (2312.3 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed 19098 kbps (2387.3 KB/sec transfer rate)
Latency 7 ms
Client Time December 4, 2011 11:06 AM
Server Time December 4, 2011 11:06 AM PST
When I connect directly to the switch rather than through my RVS4000 I get:
Download Speed 45818 kbps (5727.3 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed 6240 kbps (780 KB/sec transfer rate)
Latency 5 ms
Clearly there's something wrong here, where I'm getting less than half the download speed through the RVS4000 than I do without it. From the datasheet, it states that the RVS4000's WAN port is a 10/100/1000 port, so I don't see why I should have the limitation on speed.

We use Orion for monitoring. We recently started monitoring a workstation switch and find many occurances of port speed changes indicated. Our workstation ports are configured with auto speed and duplex. Is it normal that we are detecting speed changes on the ports? Do workstations running XP automatically adjust their speed for traffic management or power save? Perhaps something like speeds changing when PC goes to sleep mode but has wake on LAN enabled? Is it possible that the MIB is misreporting?
I realize that there are many different NIC vendors/drivers that might act differently. Just wondering (in others experience) if it is somewhat normal or if there is anything on network I should be looking into as to why speeds are changing? We plan to not monitor workstation ports (only uplinks) on the switch.. but before we do, I thought I would see if what we are detecting needs to be addressed?
Here is an example from Orion of a speed changing. Seems always off hours:

I am having an issue opening a port (4040) on the 655 for my Fedora-based subsonic server. Inside the LAN, I can see the device from other peer machines, so I am confident the port is open and listening. However, I can't seem to get to the machine-port from outside/internet.
I have tried Virtual Server and Port Forwarding with single port. The server has a stactic IP which I've included in the DHCP range and outside the range. I have a DSL connection (AT&T), modem only. I have updated firmware. I have exhausted the Subsonic community's knowledge, everything points to the router, but all the settings seem correct. What am I missing? Is if possible there is a defect in the router? (don't laugh). Is there a way to trace a request to that port to see where it is hanging?
(yes, I've STFA, but don't know what else to do).

We need to have one connection with less internet bandwidth assigned to it than all other other connections. Basically it is a separate conection from all others, incoming just from one switch port and separate VLAN.I know this can be done on the switch by limiting the bandwidth allocated to a port,
however, is it possible to have the speed limited down, just before it goes to the internet, ie, on the ASA, rather than doing it on the switch?The firewall is an ASA 5505.

We have an old 3508XL switch. We are trying to connect a new 2960 to it but we purchased the incorrect SFP insert and that speed can only do 100mb. We are getting link flaps and we suspect that it's a speed issue between the two. However, I cannot find how to set the speed on the old OS of the 3508 switch.
Below is a show version of the 3508 switch.

I have a video conferencing device and I struggled a lot with a bunch of different routers. I was giving up but then I plugged in a friend's old Linksys/Cisco Adsl gateway and all the problems disappeared (kudos to Cisco). The problem is that the gateway is not ADSL2+. I have since borrowed a Linksys/Cisco ADSL2+ router, however, there isn't a possibility to enter port speeds/duplex manually (required to prevent packet loss in video conferencing, I really want to have that option for the peace of mind). I have been looking around on the internet but I can't seem to find this ability any routers' specs. What I need is as follows:
- Has to be Cisco or Linksys router
- Has to be ADSL2+ (Annex A)
- Doesn't have to be wireless, even single port is OK
- Preferably has DMZ
- Ability to hard code lan port speed/duplex (i.e. no autosense)
- No other functions needed so hopefully a cheap option

Or explain it here. We got a radio link that we want to trunk into this Cisco 2800 and it is suppose to be connecting at 100Mbps but currently operating at around 80Mbps. Reports shows that the max in and out traffic for this link this year till today is 25Mbps. Will it not fail teh CPU etc ?

I have a BEFSX41 connected to a Motorola SB6120. I changed my plan for a hgih speed, but did not see it.Had a tech out and we found when direct connected to my computer, I get 50 Mbps. When connected through the router, about 9 Mbps. I swapped cables, but still the same.
Is there any way to determine the connection speed on the Internet port? It seems that it only running at 10, when both the router and modem support 100.

About 3 or maybe 4 years ago I bought a Dlink DIR-655 wireless router.On the box it listed it as an Xtreme N Gigabit Router, Wireless N (Draft N). I've had two Windows PCs connected to this router by Cat5 with "Intel 82562V-210 10/100 Network Connection" NICs on each set to "Auto detect". The link speed on the NICs show as 100Mbps.Also, I have an MBP and a Windows laptop that connects to this router at times, both with built-in wireless cards.I have Insight Cable and a 20Mbps download and 1.38 upload speeds.This router has worked great for the past years. Since it was getting a little old, I thought I would buy another just like it to have when this one defaults.I ordered a replacement from Amazon. The picture of the router at Amazon was the same as the one I have now.When the router arrived, it was a Dlink DIR-655; however, the router had a different faceplate and larger lights.On the box it listed it as "Xtreme N Gigabit Router". Also listed was N+ 300.
When I set the new DIR-655 up for my LAN and wireless, everything worked OK.However, I noticed the link speed on the NICs had dropped to 10Mbps.I can disable the NIC and then enable, or, unplug and plug in the Cat5 cable, and it will connect at 100Mbps for about 5 seconds and then revert back to 10Mbps.I returned the router to Amazon and purchased another just like it from Office Depot.The same problems are back.I have used the router set-up disk and have done a manual set-up. I cannot get the NICs to connect to the router above 10Mbps.I have turned off wireless, made different settings throughout the router and nothing works.I can set the NICs to 100Mbps full duplex and I get 1.5Mbps download speeds. If I set them to 100 half duplex, I might get 5Mbps.Believe me; I have just about changed every setting on this router with no success. I've turned the firewall, QoS off then on, wireless off and on, put one PC outside the router, but nothing works. Also, firmware is up to date.When I connect my PC direct to Insight modem or connect the original DIR-655, I get 100Mbps on the NIC and 20+Mbps download speed.I cannot get the NICs to connect above 10Mbps on this "new DIR-655" router.

I have a DIR-655 Rev B, in a typical cascaded config: modem > dir-555 > switches & devices, etc.One of the four dir-655 ports is connected to a cheap-o Belink Wifi router which I use as an access point (I only use this because there's one device that only supports WEP). I was debugging a WiFi issue and I pulled the plug on this Belkin just to get it out of the picture. Well, when I did that, EVERYTHING that was connected through the DIR-655 lost connection. (Well, all the wired stuff anyway- not sure about WiFi devices through the DIR-655). I noticed that the port link light for the powered-off device stayed on on the DIR-655. When I unplugged the cable from the DIR-655, everything went back to normal.
So what I'm trying to figure out now is, is this a DIR-655 issue, or is it something screwy with the Belkin? Or Both? I've got to assume that there's some inherent flaw in the DIR-655 that allows something connected to a port to screw up everything that it's hosting.

I've had a DIR-600 for years, and this past month it has been really bad. I have a 3mbps Cable connection, always worked fine and fast, but since the start of the month I've been getting, at most, 60kb/s of download speed (I have a wired connection to the router). Speed tests register everything as fine, except for the download speed, which is really unstable and shoots all over the place, going from 1MB/s to 0 in some instances. I thought it was the ISP being bad since we're having a lot of problems with this provider where I work, but got tired of it and decided to do some troubleshooting myself. When I connect directly to the modem, without the router, I get the same fast speeds I used to. I tried rebooting everything, I tried resetting the router to factory defaults, but nothing seemed to change that. DL speed is always below 60KB/s and if something is downloading at that speed, a single page takes a minute to load.

I recently picked up this router on clearance to replace a Linksys WRT54GS in the hopes that I would get better speeds for streaming multi-media (NETFLIX). I live in a single story home with a room over the garage (this is where my cable modem and Dlink router are located). To increase signal strength throughout my house I had previously purchased an EnGenius ERB9250 range extender (which supports 802.11N 300mbs), now all my wireless devices show full bars anywhere in the house. Unfortunately when I test my connection to the wireless network I seem to only be registering about 5 - 8 mbs. This really isn't any better than I was getting with my older Linksys, but I thought the Dlink could do up to 150mbs. I have verified that both my range extender and the router are configured correctly, and have tried disabling the QoS (read somewhere that it might drop signals). So far nothing I do seems to increase performance. Is this normal for this router? Am I being unrealistic in trying to get better performance? Is there anything special I need to do to increase performance? I downloaded several wireless sniffers and have set my router to wireless channel 6 as this is the least used by my neighbors (actually shows as 6+2).

ISP is Comcast. The routers hardware version is A4 with firmware v.1.33NA. The upload speed used to be above 4Mbps but recently it has gone down to below 1Mbps. It comes back to above 4Mbps if the router is bypassed or the PC is directly connected to the modem.If I on/off power cycle the router, the speed comes back but only for short period. I tried a new DIR655 of hardware v.B1 with firmware v.2.00 but exact same problem was noticed. I tried my old spare router of Linksys WRT54G and no such problem was noticed.

I tested it out for 2 hours rebooting it, and in almost exactly 5 minutes the speed is cut in half every time. Is my router bad? Or is the good neighbor policy just going into effect? I do have a lot of traffic, I am in a apartment, but I use a free channel
