Linksys Wireless Router :: E1200 - Constant Instability / How To Improve Performance

Oct 9, 2012

I've recently acquired a Linksys E1200 router--which is more than a week old--from the recommendation of a friend of mine. The service is great and all, but the one thing that frequently bothers me is the seeming constant instability of my router's model. There are moments when the router performs smoothly, but there is as much an instance because the router doesn't seem to work at all even when the lights (and the accompanying connection) on my modem seem to be working in good order.
 
I know that a router will always have its problems, but this is really a constant problem with the E1200; and if so, if there's any way possible on how I can be able to "stabilize" the said router's performance.

Belkin Routers :: F5d7230-4 / Would Updating Wireless G Improve Performance

Jan 29, 2013

I'm using a wireless g router (f5d7230-4) which for most purposes is fine? Specifically: 1. I can't seem to stream media content from my windows 7 pc to my lg tv (model 55 lw 6500), and wonder if the age of the router is part of the problem; 2. some iptv channels on my ps3 are slow to load menus, though programs run fine when I push play (I gather ps3 is restricted to wireless g but if I upgraded the router I would plug in the ps3 using cat6). When I speed test my internet connection I'll typically get results around 2.5-5 Mbps. I'm impressed that a router of this age performs so well it isn't obvious to me that upgrading will improve the setup.

D-Link DIR-655 :: Firmware Update Improve Performance?

Jan 22, 2012

I read the sticky related to firmware updates.  I have a DIR-655, that has been been giving me good service for quite a few years.  I subscribe to the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" philosophy as I have managed to keep my home network and computers running over the years, but I'm not knowledgable in these matters.  I am still running firmware 1.10, and have not wanted to take a chance that if I upgraded I would find myself with numerous devices with no connectivity (running mix of Mac and PC desktops and laptops, XBox, Wii, Roku box, numerous iPhones and iPods, LG TV, and an iPad).

Recently I moved to the cable company phone, and they added a new modem.  They have it set as a gateway (I think that is the terminology), and my network works basically as it did before.  I have noticed though, that my Roku box, laptops, and skype on my Mac desktop seem to be having periods of slower download (Roku box), skype choppiness, and download that stop.  I was thinking that perhaps if I upgraded the firmware, my performance might improve.  After reading the sticky, it seems like firmware may not be the answer.  This is a reliable but older piece of equipment, and now I'm thinking that I just need to upgrade to a newer and perhaps more advanced router.

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA 4500 Speed And Range Instability?

Jun 14, 2012

My EA 4500 wireless speed and range vary drastically by the day under the same conditions.I have tried everything listed on this forum from changing the channels to enabling the Space Time Blk Code mode. It seems to be working fine for a day or so, but eventually the speed and range goes back to being pretty bad!Even with my Ipad or Ipod touch right next to my router, my speed is cut in half compared to the PC connected via Ethernet to the EA 4500 (24 Mbps on PC side and 0.5-10 Mbps on wireless devices.)This router is a really big disappointment for me. It seems very unstable.

Linksys Wireless Adapters :: WUSB600N - Cause Of Instability After Getting Upgrade To Previous Computer

Jun 5, 2011

I've been using a WUSB600N wireless adapter with my WRT610N router for quite some time and it has been very stable for quite some time. A few months ago, I switched to a new computer, basically the same model (both computers ran Win7 64bit) except with more hard drive space and two extra cores. I then moved the old computer to the router for a direct connection, moved the new computer in the same exact place as the previous computer, and set up the WUSB600N on the new one. However, on the new computer, my connection has been extremely unstable. Sometimes the connection  works fine, but other times there are long periods of no connection (though the computer tells me that I'm connected) and download speeds are horrid during this time period. What is causing the instability after only getting an upgrade to the previous computer?

Linksys Wireless Router :: Set Up Two E4200 To Improve Signal Strength?

Sep 24, 2012

Currently I'm using one e4200 (v1) as my main router in the house. The wireless coverage downstairs is perfect, but upstairs the signal is weak. To improve this I thought about adding the WAP610N as an access point to my network. But this device gets quite some negative reviews ... Thus I was thinking why not add another e4200 (v2) to my network? The price difference is not that big, especially compared to other simultaneous dual band access points. So my question is, would following scenario work?

- first e4200, connected to my ISP, acting as a router, using both the 2.4 as 5 ghz band (basically my current situation)

- second e4200, connected (via UTP cable) to the first e4200, in bridge mode

- second e4200 also using both 2.4 and 5 ghz band, using the same SSID, security etc but a different channel
 
So when moving a laptop for example from downstairs to upstairs, automatically the router/access point with the strongest signal would be used.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E3000 - How To Improve Wi-Fi Signal Strength

Nov 26, 2010

I have configured a new LinkSys e3000 as as wireless router in our house.I have left the configuration as default (only secured it and turned on the DHCP server).I have only turned on the 2,4 GHz network ( because the 5GH had an even shorter range).Everything works and all my devices can connect to the router and access the internet.However i find the signal strenght of the router to be very poor.Already in the next room it drops to 60%. And in some rooms on the 1st floor the signal drops completly.This happens not even 20m away from the router in an ordinary "family house".Is there a setting somewhere which could increase the signal strength ?I noticed that the router has no antenna, can one be bought and attached so the signal increases ?The firmware version is 1.0.02 and i found a newer on your web 1.0.03. How to improve the signal strength?

Linksys Wireless Router :: Cisco E4200 - How To Improve Signal Strength

Oct 29, 2012

I have a two story house with a basement.  Right now I have a Cisco Linksys E4200 router on the second floor in one of the bedrooms.  I have a DLink GamerLouge 4500 in the basement.  Both systems have the same SSID and are running on different channels.  Computers connect to the appropriate one automatically.  At least assuming that's what's happening.I am getting limited connectivity on the first floor in the kitchen and family room.  Dining room, right by the second floor stairs is fine.  All the bathrooms are dead zones.  Note I have thick travertine tiles on the walls in the bathrooms so may inhibit signals.  Trying to figure out the optimal solution for getting the house setup so everywhere has at least decent signals. I have alot of iPad and laptop devices floating around the house so wireless is key.  Note I have wired plugs with Cat5e all over the house to a central hub in the basement which is where the DLink router sits.  Thoughts on how to improve my signal strength?  Especially in the farther reaching bedrooms and the first floor

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54GL - Advanced Settings To Improve Range

Oct 26, 2008

I've got a WPA wireless network set up that utilizes a total of 4 WRT54GL routers as access points (on channels 1, 6, and 11 [the two APs furthest from each other both utilize 11). Each AP generally supports about 5 clients at a time (though sometimes as high as 10).Generally, everything is working, but the clients furthest from the access points occasionally lose their connections, and some users have reported periods when they are completely unable to obtain an IP. I am virtually certain that this is based on poor signal strength resulting from distance from the APs and/or RF interference from other APs in the building. I have done everything possible to improve signal strength by router placement, optimizing channel usage based upon RF surveys, and upgrading to high-gain omnis.
 
This leaves nothing to do apart from tweaking the advanced wireless settings to marginally improve problems related to weak signal and/or RF interference, so I've been reading everything I can find on these boards and elsewhere about changing Fragmentation Threshold, RTS threshold, and beacon interval. However, I'm left with the following questions.
 
1) There seems to be disagreement about Fragmentation threshold and RTS threshold settings. Some (including the Linksys Technical Troubleshooting Wizard) recommend that both be set to 2304. I have also seen people insist that Fragmentation be set to 2306 and RTS to 2304. A few recommend 2306 for both thresholds, and some advise 2306 for Fragmentation and 2307 for RTS (though by my limited understanding, it simply disables RTS when the value is higher than the fragmentation threshold value). Which of these settings is best? And more importantly, WHY is it the best? Generally, I understand what the settings do, but I am reluctant to change them when there doesn't seem to be a consensus about exactly what they should be.
 
2) With respect to beacon interval, I've seen both 75ms and 50ms recommmended to replace the default of 100ms. For a network of my size (4 APs, averaging 5 users each), will increasing the number of beacons (and hence the RF traffic even when the network is idle) pose a problem? Also, I'm a little less clear as to how this would improve connectivity.
 
Since these settings will affect all users, I want to make sure that I'm using settings that will be beneficial on the whole. The last thing I want to do is inadvertantly make things worse, and since I can't test things directly from the standpoint of each user.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200 Constant Reboots With Media Streaming

Dec 5, 2011

Linksys Wireless Router :: WUMC710 - Bad Performance Under OSX 10.8.2

Oct 30, 2012

1. WUMC710 data rates fluctuate extremly under OSX 10.8.2 with an iMac 27" . Meaning, one second, I have about 9 mb/s in the other second, I have 20 mb/s. It is fluctuating permenently. When I use another bridge, eg. ASUS EA-N66, the datarate is very stable and I can see no major fluctuation.
 
2. The overall datarate when using the WUMC710 with OSX is about 50% less, than with Windows7. I have windows 7 installed as a virtual machine on my iMac. When transfering a file to my NAS device, under OSX, I have an average datarate of 18 mb/s. When I transfer the exact same file with win 7 as a virtual machine on this iMac, I have 35mb/s on average!!!!! When I use another bridge, eg. ASUS EA-N66, the datarate is the same on OSX and on windows.
 
3. The low datarate and the fluctuations also appear in combination with an other router, so it must be something with the WUMC710. I tested it with the EA6500 and ASUS RT-AC66U.
  
What I have done:

- Tested with two other adatpers (ASUS EA-N66 and built in Apple Airport). Both show constant and high datarates, so the problems only appear with the WUMC710.
 
- Tested with another router. The low datarate and the fluctuations also appear in combination with an other router, so it must be something with the WUMC710. I tested it with the EA6500 and ASUS RT-AC66U.
 
- Tested with another OSX device. Same problems with an iMac 27" and with a MacBook Pro. So not a specific problem with one apple device
 
- Tested with another windows device. Under windows, the WUMC710 shows way better performance and nearly no flucuations in data rates.As I have tested other Wireless adapters, combinations with other routers and other OSX/Win devices and the problems are alyways the same, It must be a bug of the WUMC710. Performance under OSX 10.8.2 is slow and not constant.

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA4500 Performance Is Very Poor

Aug 24, 2012

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.

Linksys WRT54G - Router Requires Constant Re-setting

Sep 7, 2012

Lately, I upgrade the firmware on my router. A linksys WRT54G. In order to access the router I had to do a manual reset to factory settings. Post upgrade, for some reason I couldn't access the internet. I tried everything for hours and finally through sheer luck of unplugging every cable and ever power lead and plugging it back in, it started working.

However, lately I've found that the only computer connected to the internet via eathernet cable is loosing connection intermittently. Also we seem to get constant huge spikes in latency and very inconsistent speed. Unplugging the router and plugging it back in again seems to solve this problem temporarily, but requires toggling of power multiple times a day. Also I had what I believe was an IP address conflict, or lack of an IP address once, but using the windows troubleshoot errors fixed that by resetting my wireless network card. (This was on a 2nd machine)

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA4500 / Poor Performance As Master Browser?

Sep 28, 2012

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.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200 Low Wifi Signal / Maximum Performance

I've bought a E4200 router because of it's "maximum performance". With the normal settings i have a wireless range of maximum 10 m in the building.  after 5m I've got a low signal.I tested a cheap Netgear-router, which had the same range as the E4200 a 125 Euro.Is my E4200 broke or is it just a bad buy? The settings are standard (that shouldn't be the problem, I guess!?)

Linksys Access Point :: EA4500 Need To Improve Home Wireless Network

Jun 6, 2012

I am trying to improve the coverage of my home network.I have Fios, and with the existing Wireless capabilities, there are several dead and low coverage areas in my house.  This is due to a combination of where my router is (Limited by input feed) and the confuration of the house.
 
I have CAT-5 running to most rooms, so adding wired devices is not an issue.  I went out and picked up an EA4500 router, and my plan was to convert my Fios Router to a bridge and use the EA4500 as the DHCP server.  However, even with this router, my coverage is not improved.  My preferred solution will be to get 1 or 2 additional access points that I can plug into my wired network, however, I would want to have a common SSID for the entire network.

Linksys Wireless Adapters :: WMP300N Constant Reboot Out Of Warranty?

Dec 19, 2011

I just attempted to install a brand new WMP300N, and when I give the system power, it continually reboots every 15-20 seconds.  The BIOS never logs a problem, so I suspect that the system resets during the POST. I initially suspected a power supply problem, even though I have a 900w power supply.  Pulling the card allows the system  to boot normally, but after removing power from all drives (ssd, hdd, and dvd),switching to onboard video and pulling my pci-e video card, the system still will not POST, and continually reboots.
 
I've had this card sitting new in the packaging for a while now (at least a year) and I'm sure I no longer have the receipt. Is there any way for me to attempt an RMA on this card, or am I out of luck for waiting so long to actually open it?
