Erratic Speeds On Internet?
Jan 13, 2013
I am with Virgin Media, on their 60Mb service.I never go over their limits, according to them I download and upload very little.However the difficulty comes about when I start using a program called Xsplit to stream video games.After about 5-30 minutes of this, my 60Mb speed gets shot to between 15 and 25Mb, and the 3Mb upload gets shot to 0.4-0.5Mb.
They finally came to me today and after a few tests, said all the figures on their end showed it wasn't their network, but was instead on my end. They figured this out because the numbers from my modem showed it was something like 63000000 and 3000000, meaning my speeds should apparently be normal? (I don't know...). I turned off my wireless (turned the Superhub on to "router" mode), and the internet shot back up to 60Mb. I then after about an hour, requiring to use wifi on my tablet again, turned "router" mode off, so WiFi was available. Bam, my internet went back to 25Mb / 0.5Mb.My specs are as follows:
Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate
8GB DDR3 1600 Corsair vengeance RAM (or 1833, not sure)
GTX 680
i5 2500k processor, overclocked to 4.7GHz[code]....

My Belkin F7D4301 Router has the fastest wireless speed of maybe 2MBps but wired with a cat5e cable to my asus laptop of almost 7MBps. I have a one smart TV, one blue ray, one roku, and a nexus 7 using the 2.4 channel.
My Wireless 2.4 settings are channel 11, Extension channel 7, Wireless mode N (have tried with just g and b, g, and n modes), Bandwidth 20/40, Protected mode on, QOS off.
I've talked to Belkin tech support, they are the ones who had me set up my 2.4 channel this way but my wireless speeds stay just under 2MBps, they just want to keep sending me the same model Router because they think each of the new ones they send me is defective.
Am I doing something wrong or is 2MBps the best wireless speed I'm going to get?

I have full wi-fi signal and I have a fast broadband connection. Every now and again the connection speed to just one PC drops to a point where there is almost no activity. I get various "connection timed out" and "DNS lookup failed" errors, then after about 10 minutes of frustration everything works again. I know this problem is isolated to just this one PC as I have done Internet speed tests from another computer. I have tried using different wireless cards, resetting the router, changing DNS servers. Nothing has worked.

My custom built computer, only 4 months old, is right now getting an approximate internet connection of 4 mbps. I'm supposed to be getting 60. (This is mbps down by the way) how to get my speed back? I've tried other network adapters but it's not working.

I live in a townhouse in a college campus which means we all have the same ISP. I checked the channels and checked wifi stumbler. They both look good. For the last few days I have been getting really slow internet speeds after 7 pm till 1 am. I am paying for 25 mbps but around that time I get 0.5 mbps. I have the latest firmware for the router. I talked to customer support twice and all they did was reset my router and tell me to power cycle it. It can't be range of the router because my laptop is right next to it.
P.S: Here is my speed test: [URL]

I currently have a 2 router setup working ( one in the office running a wire behind walls to my upstairs computer ) and have an internet speed of 35/35. We will be upgrading when fios comes out with the 150/65 plan and would like to upgrade our slave router as well. Currently it's a D-Link WBR-1310/RE 54mbps 802.11g router and we would like a router capable of handing the full 150/65mbps with wireless N capabilities.

I did a search and came across this board because I too am having the same issues with wireless connection. I went as far as buying a new router, which like the original post stated, worked well for a few and then stopped. It's frustrating because I need the wireless connection for many items I use at home.

I just got a our internet going through our phone modem instead of a separate modem, a new router, and some new rewiring because lighting hit near my house and blew out everything, but now on the computer I built my internet connection drops really low randomly and nothing loads. It happens at random times and for a random periods of time. I ran malwarebytes and super antispyware and nothing showed up. I connect wirelessly with a asus usb adapter.I also tried a different usb adapter that I just bought and no change, and I tried changing channels on the router.Also we have three other laptops in the house and none of them are having problems. It shows me connected with five bars and good signal it just drops to almost nothing speeds.

I'm currently in a University dorm room connected, via ethernet, to a splitter in our room. Starting just yesterday, my usually amazing internet speeds tanked to about 8 kb/s, and have stayed there since then. My roommate, also using ethernet, is having no problems.You'll have to excuse my lack of knowledge on this subject, I just hope I'm not completely clueless:
I first did the obvious checks, made sure cables were connected and secure, restarted our splitter as well as my desktop, disconnected and reconnected to the University Network, I even attempted to connect to wireless to make sure the problem still existed, and it did. ~8 KB/s download speed.I made sure I have, to the best of my knowledge, no background programs running that may be stealing bandwidth.I checked to make sure it wasn't only affecting my preferred internet browser, and programs like IE and Firefox showed similar, if not worse, results.I tried recovering to a few days ago when I believe the problem didn't exist, and the problem still existed.I ran through my programs list and made sure nothing was installed recently that could hinder performance.I ran a complete scan through McAfee, which produced no results.To double check, I downloaded (slowly) and ran SpyBot, which produced a few errors, but I quickly "fix"ed them and restarted my computer, ran another scan, and now nothing.

The speeds for my internet connection seems to vary significantly. For most of the day I have checked the speed of my internet from various websites such as speedtest.net, speed.io, speakeasy, 2wire, etc. The upload speeds are fine and are close to the advertised 4 Mbps upload speed that I am paying for.During the early afternoon, the download speeds are around 15 Mbps and start to slowly decline until it reaches 1 Mbps at around 9 PM. This has been going on for months and I pay for 30 Mbps download speed from Charter. I've checked this on three different computers throughout the day and they all read the same thing. I don't know if it's a problem with my router or a problem with the wiring in the house. the modem/router I have right now is a Motorola SBG941. url...

I'm looking to increase my internet speeds as much as possible and was wondering how much my central splitter affects internet speeds? I have an ADSL splitter at the moment, im going to link 3 photos which shows the splitter and how it is wired. Also if you look at the black phone line which connects my house you can see that only two wires are being used (blue and white)? Is this the right setup for ADSL2 or should all 4 wires be connected to the splitter? Im getting only about 500kb/s download and 40kb/s upload max right

Ok, so my internet disconnects while downloading at high speeds, anything higher than 2mbs. I end up having to reboot my computer because my modem looks fine and even if I reboot it, it does not fix the problem. Repairing the connection does not work either.I have a Dell XPS 720 H2C. The computer came out in 2007, costed like 6 grand lol. I'm happy with it aside form this problem though. It sucks cause they quickly stopped making the computer so tech support on it is tough to come by. I have Cox Communications and when I run speedtest.net I get 140/30. I'm hoping they aren't disconnecting people that reach a certain download speed.Anyway I'm fairly positive it is an issue with my computer or Windows Vista. I know I should upgrade to Windows 7 and I just might if it turns out to be the culprit. I just don't want to do that unless I absolutely have to. So ya, first off when using utorrent my internet will crash if I have a lot of different torrents open and downloading at the same time. It will also crash if I have one torrent active and that torrent goes above 2-2.5 mbs download speed.Also when downloading from a fast filelocker my internet will crash. The only filelocker that will crash my internet without me browsing at the same time is a filelocker called Gamerfront. The speeds are around 2mbs. I will also crash sometimes though if I'm downloading and browsing at the same time. My downloading speeds could be well below 2mbs but if I am watching youtube, streaming, or just browsing the internet sometimes the internet will crash.
That is the main problem, but sometimes, rarely I'll disconnect just from watching a youtube video. That's happened maybe 3 or 4 times. Anyway that is the summary of my issue. Again only a computer reboot will fix my connection. When I get disconnected the modem does not change at all and is still working perfectly. The modem is relatively brand new as well. I haven't tried much to fix it because I just have no idea what I could do. Device manager looks fine, no exclamation points. I know when most people have this problem it's because of a router or it's the modem but I don't use a router and my modem seems to be totally fine. [code]

I have installed a new ASA 5510 on our internal network as a termination point for our VPN connections. This ASA replaces the VPN termination on our outside ASA. I have setup a VPN group profile and enabled DTLS on the interface on this ASA. The only interface on this ASA is the inside interface. We have done speed tests while on the VPN from both devices. When connecting to the VPN on the outside ASA speed tests show download speeds between 5-8 Mbps and upload speeds of .80-.96 Mbps. When connecting to the VPN on the inside ASA speed tests show download speeds between 2-3 Mbps and .76 Mbps. When I run the "show web-session svc" command on both instances I see that the connection to the firewall on the outside shows that the protocol being used is DTLS however on the inside it doesn't show DTLS.
I think that part of the problem is that DTLS isn't being used. What can I do to improve my download speeds? Will the ASA use DTLS if the interface that is being used is the inside interface?

Att says they are giving us 3mb/sec but we get 300kbps and speed tests from anywhere say we get 2.5 to 2.9 mb/sec yet even on unlimited bandwidth downloads(like torrents) with thousands of seeds connected and a few peers they never get faster than 340kb/sec.

I have two computers in the house both HP desktops, both run Windows XP SP3. The first one is connected to the internet by ethernet cable through a WRT160N router to a cable modem, the other is in another room ( about 20 feet away from the router with only one wall). The wired computer averages around 15-20mbps download speed while the wireless only gets about 7-9mbps. I've checked them both using Speakeasy.net and Speedtest.net the results are always about the same, the wireless has about half the download speed of the wired connection. They both have .95-.98 mbps upload speeds. When my old router (WRT54GS) finally gave up I bought the WRT160N which is an N router, I haven't upgraded the network adapter in the wireless computer to N yet. My question is should I lose this much speed through the wireless connection or do I need to change the settings on the router or the wireless adapter?

Currently my home network is on WEP security. Really crappy security and limits all speeds to 54mbps. So I changed security to WPA2-PK and afterwards the internet is DEADLY slow. speedtest.net shows me at about 1mbps compared to 13-20 with WEP encryption. Something is obviously wrong here, and I can't figure out what. [code] I'm really puzzled as to why WPA2-PK is so awful. After changing it I can't log back into 192.168.1.1 unless I power cycle the router and connect via wired connection.

I'm currently subscribed to Comcast's 22/5 Internet service. Internet upload speeds on both wired and wireless are about the same at ~ 5 Mbps. Wireless download speeds range from .5-3 Mbps. Wired or Wireless, I receive LAN speeds of ~32 Mbps or 3-4 MB/s. The noticeable issue is wireless internet download speed. I have tried every configuration possible with my router, updated drivers on devices, firmware and tested everything I could on all PCs, and even used the XBOX 360's media extender network tuning feature as a tool in my investigation to find this bottleneck. All reports point to internet download speed. Again, general LAN and internet upload speeds relatively meet expectations. The wired download speeds are slow at times, but consistently meet expectations.
My current Setup:
Wifi
A4 1.33NA
WPA2 Only - Personal
802.11 Mode : 802.11n only
Channel Width : 40MHz
Channel : 1

we have 2 thompson HDSL routers connected to the internet. we want to combine them to have higher bandwidth and load balancing so we attached them to a linksys rv042 router. we are running a Xbox applications that require high speed internet streaming.
if the RV042 can combine those 2 high speed internet connections, without disconnecting.

I have two 5520s in a failover configuration. When browsing the internet behind them the speeds average 0.5Mb/1.0Mb Download/Upload. When bypassing the ASAs the speeds increase to 4Mb/6Mb. I have checked the interfaces on the ASAs and there are no errors, collisions, drops, etc.

users behind asa5510 on both vlans10 and 20 have slow internet speeds (2Mbps down/170kbps up). carrier provides 13Mbps down/5mbps up and speed tests on another port on the asa 9Mbps/5mbps. There is no speed/duplex mismatch on the switch (cisco 2960) that asa port is connected to. what else could possible cause that ? cisco 2960 is in vtp transparent mode. mtu on both vlans is matched.

My new e3200 setup just fine with Cisco Connect. I have consistently good speeds with a direct ethernet connection, but the wireless speeds fluctuate widely. When I power cycle the router, I'll have perfect speeds for a few minutes and then it'll slow to a crawl (approx 0.5Mbps). Then for no apparent reason, it will speed back up to normal, and then back down to a crawl. I'm using the latest firmware and have allowed Cisco Connect to manage the router so far.This is actually my 2nd router, as Tech Support told me when I experienced this with the first router that it was defective, but I'm seeing the same problem with the 2nd router, so I know something isn't quite right.

We have an ASA 5510 and are experiencing unbelievably slow speeds. I noticed a problem last Thursday with users complaining of slow speeds and realized our interface had a ton of errors and was running at half duplex. I contacted the ISP (we are connected to their 3750) and they swore up and down they were set to full. So they had me switch to full and the interface shut down. I asked them to switch to auto and the interface came back up and we went to full, and of course the errors and colisions stopped. However the errors and packet drops have not stopped. The ISP sent out a technician and they determined it wasn't a problem on their end by plugging in a laptop and testing the speed--that worked fine. Eventually I plugged in a Sonicwall and bypassed the ASA completely and that worked fine. We plugged the ASA back in and we we went back to dropping packets. I put an old config on the ASA and oddly enough it seemed to have fixed the problem but we were still dropping packets. So I put the most recent config back on and that worked fine up until today. We're back in the some boat we were last week. So my first question is when I do a show int and see packets dropped - is that normal because of ACLs etc, or would that be show in another place? Here's an output of show int and show asp drop:
HQ-ASA# show asp drop
Frame drop: Flow is denied by configured rule (acl-drop) 3366 NAT-T keepalive message (natt-keepalive) 423 First TCP packet not SYN (tcp-not-syn) 406 TCP failed 3 way handshake (tcp-3whs-failed) 135 TCP RST/FIN out of order (tcp-rstfin-ooo) 462 TCP SYNACK on established conn (tcp-synack-ooo) 46 TCP packet SEQ past window (tcp-seq-past-win) 50 TCP invalid ACK (tcp-invalid-ack) 9 TCP Out-of-Order packet buffer full (tcp-buffer-full) 29 TCP Out-of-Order packet buffer timeout (tcp-buffer-
[code]....
I have not made any configuration changes to the ASA ina couple of months. The interface counters were cleared about 45 minutes ago if that's how quickly the errors/packet drops are adding up.

Our internet connection is connected to an ASA. The download speed is ok but the upload is very slow. we have been running some speed test from our LAN, and have been also trying to upload/download file.
Our ASA also have the IPS module. I turned this off but we've got the same result.
I send here attach the configuration file of the ASA.

I am only getting 10-14 mbps when I should be getting 30-35 (using the gigabit ports). I thought it might be my provider but today I connected my old netgear router and the speed was 32-34 mbps. Is there some setting that I should be looking at?

I have both the WRT54G and a E1000 wireless routers and this problem is occurring for both of them.I use AT&T DSL and the speeds are fine when it is :
1. Not plugged into router
2. Wireless Network Mode is disabled through the router configuration page, having all devices wired.
However when wireless network mode is enabled, speeds drop significantly, 15~17 ms ping goes to 250~800 ping, and download speeds are way lower also. When the router is reset, the regular speeds will return for maybe 30 seconds to 1 minute, then it'll drop back down. I'm positive there's no outsiders connected to my network and this problem still occurs, only when the router is giving out wireless signals. Sometimes the problem randomly goes away for a while but it will always come back. I've tried many things, firmware upgrades, factory restore, none of them seem to work, the only solution so far has been to disabling it, but I need it to be on as there are other devices in other rooms of the house that need WiFi to connect to the internet.

I have recently had trouble with my wireless D-link WBR-1310 Router. Two days ago everything was working fine, my wireless connection from the router to my macbook was fine and the wired connection to my desktop pc was also fine. I went to bed and when I woke up the next day everything was still ok. About 3 hours after I had first turned on the PC that next day my wired connection started spiking and dropping connection frequently, maybe every 5-10 minutes or so. I play world of warcraft and I also use Mumble VoiP Program and my pings in both are over 800 constantly now making it impossible to stay connected to either program. Sometimes it will drop down to regular numbers (25-50ms, I play on eastern servers as I am in NY) but then rapidly jumps back up into the 1,000's. My wireless connection is still fine though nothing has happened to that, only my wired connection is messing up.
I've tried changing my speed and duplex settings on my onboard NVIDIA nForce 10/100 Mbps Ethernet which is what im using but it hasn't worked. When connecting directly through the modem the problem seems to stop so its definitely the router.

I have a problem when downloading from torrents/steam.the download speeds go from 280 - 0 in about 15 sec intervals.this makes it hard form me to play games while someone else is browsing/streaming youtube because when they reach 0 when the DL speeds drop, I lag.I dont know if this is a ISP problem or a router problem. my router is a prolink h9300g. I'm sure this is not a PC problem as this happens on all the computers that use my internet.

I have recently changed ISP and am now with Sky. I have been having battles with Sky over my speeds - they said I would get between 4.5/9.0MB and I have been getting just 3.6MB. However, even this lower figure has changed over the past three days and I am only getting 1.6MB on the same PC which is based upstairs. I noticed that on my laptop I was getting 3.6MB downstairs and so I took it upstairs next to my PC and then obtained 3.6MB. Is there any reason I should be logging two drastically different speeds from the same location on two separate items of equipment? I started thinking it was the Philips SNU adapter on the PC which may be causing the problem but I have tried a spare adapter(same make & model) and I still get the lower reading.
