Linksys Wireless Router :: EPC3925 Suffer From Severe Lag Spikes
Mar 1, 2013
I have a Cisco EPC3925 router. From 13 to 23 I am suffer from severe lag spikes, I have been wondering whether this is router's fault or there must be some any other source of interference.
I've just signed up to a local Irish Internet provider and was supplied with a Cisco router EPC3925. Wireless is working fine for laptop and iPad. However I cannot share my iTunes library with Apple TV. I connected the Ethernet cable and it worked perfectly. However as soon as I disconnect, so too does the home sharing. I've disabled windows firewall and completely uninstalled macafee firewall. Im using windows vista and have the latest version of iTunes installed.
I have a WRT160Nv3 router and I have been getting terrible lag spikes over the last few days, we have 10Mbps cable internet, nothing to fancy but about once every 5-10 minutes it will drop to .4-.5 Mbps for several minutes, When I make a direct connection from modem to my computer i get the full speed I should be getting of about 11Mbps. The lag persists in both direct connections and wireless.
I recently replaced my old WRT54G router with a E3200 router.
Unfortunately, ever since my wireless network is a lot more unstable than before. I very often experience serious lag spikes and drops in speed. Very often I experience serious lag for a couple of seconds after which everything returns to normal. I notice this the most in online gaming, but it is also noticeable while browsing the web. When downloading large files (e.g. steam games), the download speed also seems to suffer from this by dropping every now and then.
There are no connection drops however. And it only seems to affect the wireless network.
I have configured the E3200 router manually using the Web UI and is has been configured exactly the same as my WRT54G: i.e. only 2.4GHz band enabled with b/g/n, WPA2 security, MAC filtering on, no throtling/parental control/port forwarding, UPnP disabled. The E3200 is in the exact same place as the the WRT54G was.
Things I have done so far for troubleshooting: I used inSSIDer to monitor the wireless network and it's signal strength seems about the same as the WRT54G. I changed channels for best signal strength (there is only one other wifi network that seems to be configured as a dual channel N network; 3 other networks with very low signal strength) and have tried every channel.
I updated the fimware to the latest version (Ver.1.0.04 (Build 1)) and did a factory reset and power cycle afterwards.
I noticed that switching channels can account for 5-10Mbps differences in internet speed. Something I never noticed with the WRT54G. The lag spikes occur more often on some channels than on others. This seems not related to the speeds I get on the channel.
I really can't imagine that a router marketed as High Peformance router with superior speed and superior range is less stable than my old WRT54G router.
Is there something I can do to improve stability of this router?
I decided to change my old Belkin router to a Cisco one, and ever since i've got all sort of problems with internet connection.I'm a gamer, and my brother as well, and with the Belkin router we never got any issue, but now when we try to play together online we get serious Ping problems (We usually play at 80ms, but for a couple of seconds it reaches 800ms.. then it goes back to 80 ms).I have a 20 mb Conection with no P2P restriction, I'm using only Wireless-N connection, with only 20 Mhz and in Ch. 9 (2,452 Ghz).I also use a WPA2-Personal password and QoS System to give more priority to my PC and my games (DotA2 and WoW).This problem only happens when we try to play 2 games at the same time (e.g. DotA2 and WoW, or DotA and DotA, etc). Well i actually think Cisco might be better (Well, I payed extra money for "quality") but then again, with all those problems.
I have 2 computers hooked up to the router via wire and wife using wireless on her laptop.I'm playing games on internet and soon I noticed I got occasionally ping spikes.. The ping get beyond 1000 - 1500 so the screen is in fact temporary freezed. Sometimes those spikes can occur with 10-15 minutes inbetween them sometimes it can be an hour or more before I notice it.I'm running Windows 7 on both my computers. I first thought it was Microsoft was to throttle the packets so I did the change in the registry. But these spikes still happen. After some testings I also notice they happen at the same time on both computers so my conclusion is that it's something with the router.

I am directly connected to my router. Lately, I have been receiving high latency spikes and total loss of internet. The problem must be related to my router, because when I connect to the internet through my modem I don't have this problem.
I can't get a new IP from my ISP when my Cable modem router(EPC3925) is set to router mode, i have tried factory restore, unplugged etc..but still no luck. It changes each time i reset it when i set it to bridged only mode but then i won't be able to connect other devices to it since it doesn't uses DHCP in bridged only mode. It changes back to the IP i had when i set it to router mode. I don't want to change my router settings to bridged only because it would disconnect the other devices in my house. Why my ISP assigns the same IP address when it's set to router mode but assigns different IPs when it's set to bridged only, how is this possible ?
my cable is 150 metres. 50 metres more than the recommended length, how much signal strength would I lose if I'm on a 100Mb LAN? Also, how can I circumvent this problem, supposing I can't change the length of the cable. Meaning to say, if I can't change that 150m cable, what are my other options to consider, to try to improve lessen the attenuation.
I've been getting lag spikes with the WUSB600N. I am using Windows 7 64bit with service pack 1 installed. I had drivers version 3.0.1.0 installed and upgraded to version 3.0.10.0. After upgrading the problem got so so bad that I can't play online games at all. I tried rolling back drivers to 3.0.1.0 but it won't go back. I already tried reinstalling the drivers a few times and even reinstalled windows.
Ever since i upgraded my os from windows xp to windows 7 i've been getting lag spikes at least once every 5 minutes. With my ping going up to 1500 easily and staying up there for about 20-30 seconds. My brother is connected to the same router as me and he isn't experiencing any issue's with his internet connection (He is also using windows 7). Is this a common error?
I bought a the AE3000 wireless adapter because I got a new DPC3925 modem/router and its signal is really weak. When I play games, it lags/disconnects for a second or two then resumes. Plus it also screws up my wireless mouse at times. I changed my wireless adapter back to my old high gain G adapter and everything seems fine.
So I just bought and recieved a new computer with the wireless WMP600N.
I turned the computer on and a had small lags every 5th second or so which, even though they are small, are pretty annoying. I then tried to look for a reason as to why this happens and what i found out was that if a turn off the wireless internet connection the lag spikes stops and if I turn it on they occour.
I'm experiencing problems with the wireless adapter WMP600n. I'm a pc gamer, and as I play I get lag spikes with a ping up to 1000+! Also when I browse the internet, its insanely slow, or sometimes doesn't load at all. I looked for updates and manually installed them but no luck. I'm kind of mad since I spent $80 at staples for it. I'm using it with a wireless g router but I researched it before I bought it and it said it would work with wireless g, and I figured if we ever end up getting a wireless n router, I'll be prepared. Anyways, I want to enjoy my new computer but this gets me pissed.

I have a linksys router and a AE1000 adapter. When I first plugged in the adapter I had internet problems, always had to reconnect it. Then suddenly it worked flawlessly online and in video games. Now youtube videos load slower and I will get random lag spikes in game that last 5-7 seconds. I have done nothing to change the adapter, it just does this out of random.
I have a redundant Cisco EPC2425 that I want to use as a wireless bridge to connect to my current home router (an EPC3925).
I have got the channels/band/keys matching yet the 2425 is failing to connect to my home router. I have set the 2425 in bridge mode and currently can only set the wireless properties.
I have both ends of the supposed bridge referencing the other's MAC.
When I try to enter advanced settings on the 2425 I get a notice that the function has not been enabled.
What can I try to get these two boxes talking to each other?
I am trying to wireless repeat the wifi signal of my cisco epc3925 wifi modem. The router i am using as extender is a netgear wndr3700. i dont have much knowledge about these thing and am losing so much time by trying to get it working. everytime i apply the settings in the netgear i am unable to connect to it (even wired) and have to hard reset it...attached are some screen shots of both devices from last settings I tried.
I have a strange error on my home network that I cannot find a solution to.I have an Huawei SmartAX MT882 from TalkTalk acting as a modem connected to a D-Link DSL-G624T acting as a router/switch. Connected to the D-Link I have a Windows 7 Pro machine (64-bit, SP1) and an XP (home i think) machine (sp 2 i think).The SmartAX modem is set up to perform DHCP and DNS relaying and the D-Link has DHCP turned off and DNS relay turned off.The Win7 machine can access the network, get an IP address and access the internet without problems, regardless as to the status of the XP machine.The XP machine can access the network, get an IP address and access the internet with no problems ONLY of the win7 is powered up. When the win7 machine is off, the XP machine seems to drop about 25% of the ping packets between it and the D-Link router and has no internet access (because of this i assume). [code]
I would like to be able to use NAT loopback on a Cisco EPC3925 so that I can refer from my iPad to the webserver that is located on my iMac on the same LAN by using the external site name. Is that possible and if so, how can I configure the router?
I would like to be able to limit a group of users to certain sites but am encountering problems. I logged into the Cisco EPC3925 config menu, clicked on Access Restrictions and, under Basic Rules modified the '1.
Default' rule as follows: I enabled Parental Control Key word List: anonymizer (came up by default) Blocked Domain List: *.* Allowed Domain List: a list of domains, eg [URL]
On the tab User Setup I have the following: '1. Default': no enabled '2. User': Enabled, Content Rule: '1. Default' '3. su': Trusted User: Enabled
When I log onto a website I am presented with a prompt asking me for username and password. I enter the credentials of '2. User' and proceed to a screen that tells me that I am logged in. My problem is that this user is able to surf to any website and not only to those in the allowed list.The firmware of my EPC is epc3925-ESIP-16-v302r125533-110811c.
I have an EuroDOCSIS 3.0 cable modem from UPC Romania. It's a Cisco EPC3925, wireless modem.
My problem is that most of the time (like 80% of the time) when someone is starting or closing a PC that is connected using a wire, the whole internet crashes (wired PCs get a ! sign and the internet stops working and wireless PCs are getting disconnected completely from the network being unable to reconnect). This is solved by restarting the modem (unplugging/replugging it) or waiting for it to reconnect. I want to mention that during this process the modem lights show that everything is ok and nothing special happens.
First of all I called UPC technical support and the man there said that I should try to disable the firewall from the modem (which I had disabled already), if it won't work then to try to reset the modem to the factory settings (as I was thinking to do - because I configured the settings as I wished) and if this won't work then calling them back to change the modem.
I tried to reset to the factory settings and that didn't work at all after running tests over one week. After that I called UPC and they said that the modem is for sure the problem, they sent a technician (today) who also said that the modem is the problem. Ok ok, the technician replaced it and everything seemed to be good.
30 minutes ago my father started his PC and what should I see? Bam, internet crashing. 5 minutes ago i closed as well my PC and what should I see? The internet crashing again.
My father recently bought a laptop with windows7, and while it is connected to the internet through the router, there is a lag spike every 20 or so seconds, which also shows up when pinging the router as a jump in ping. This happens wired and wireless and also affects other connections on the network (my desktop computers also get a spike in ping). I have isolated the problem to be with the laptop, because as soon as the laptop is disconnected from router completely there is no more spike in ping
I've been having this issue with my wireless connection for quite a few months now and up until now I've just dealt with it. With the release of Diablo 3 (whoo!) it's become unbearable with this lag spikes. My ping will be fine, steady around 50-90 but then randomly spike upwards of 400. After a few moments (literally a second or two) it'll drop back down to it's normal speed. This happens in all online games I play, WoW, League of Legends, DotA 2 and now Diablo 3, I have roadrunner and pay for 25 download and 1 upload so it should be more than enough to play the games I'd like, I'm also running on windows 7. I think part of the problem could be the fact that the router is in the basement and I'm on the second story. I have a netgear wndr3700v3 router and I set up a repeater in my room to see if that would work (asus rt-n12 router) and although it has increased my speed, I still have these ping spikes.
Since last night 10/26/12 I have been experiencing random lag spikes on all games (Hawken Beta(installed yesterstay), Mechwarrior beta, MW3, and BF3).
* Framerates do NOT drop when the lag occurs * Lag last for 1-3 seconds * Lag occurs on both wireless and wired connections * Lag occurs when no one but myself is on the network and while others are on it as well * Only occurs while gaming as far as I can tell * Unsure if other computers on network are lagging because none of them are gaming computers * I have performed tests using SpeedTest and the ping/DL/UL speeds are normal * Tried turning off Anti-virus (Kaspersky). No Change * Ran virus and malware scans using Kaspersky and malwarebytes. Both negative results

we recently got a new wireless modem and its working fin with great download speeds and all.. but when i play warcraft online(not sure about other games, havent tried) i get this constant 2 second lag spike every 5 second
I have a problem with my wireless connection. I recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit OS and bought a new NETGEAR genie router WNR2200. I am experiencing lag spikes in 1-2 second duration while playing games. These lag spikes freeze the game and send my ping sky high (ping 999ms). While browsing the interwebz I don't really notice the lag spikes because they are only a few seconds long.Changes I have made (PC):
Disabled Client for Microsoft Networks Disabled ANOD Network Security Filter driver Disabled QoS Packet Scheduler Disabled File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks
[code]....
Mode: Up to 300MbpsAfter all these changes and tweaks I still get the exact same problem I started out with. The above changes were recommended by users of random forums to fix wireless lag spikes. Using a cat5 cable is not preferred (and perhaps not possible) as I am renting from random people and the router is on the other side of the house.

This has been a problem for quite a while now, jumping from Shaw to Telus,I have completely exhausted, and I have no idea what's wrong.I live in a household with another family, and we share internet connections, Telus Fiber Optik, as of now. Me and my brother both have our own computer and are connected via wireless adapter, and the other family has one laptop with wireless connection.
The problem would be that randomly, the internet would slow down considerably, with pings going insanely high, like over 9000ms (not joking).At first,I thought I was just too far away from the router.So I moved to a room directly under the router, and the internet was completely fine for around 1 week, then the random ping spikes started to happen again. Now, I've tried tweaking wireless settings, and checking to make sure its just not my wireless adapter, however my brother's adapter is new, but it has the same problem too, so I doubt its the adapters fault.
I'm having constant lag spikes. I use DPC Latency checker [URL]On both my desktop (using PCI wifi card) and my laptop I have lag spikes. This is a screenshot of the spikes [URL]. Although it says its my hardware problems, I doubt its true, as it happens on both devices.
the problem is that I'm suffering from ping spikes. When I ping my router it looks something like this:
C:UsersNiklas>ping 192.168.1.1 -n 10
Skickar ping-signal till 192.168.1.1 med 32 byte data: Svar från 192.168.1.1: byte=32 tid=991ms TTL=64 Svar från 192.168.1.1: byte=32 tid < 1 ms TTL=64 Svar från 192.168.1.1: byte=32 tid=2944ms TTL=64[code].....
my ping spikes to 1k+ all the time, making online games pretty much unplayable. Sometimes I'll lag up to 3k ms and by the time my ping is back to normal, the game is so behind it is messed up forever.I've looked online for days trying to find solutions, and trying all kinds of things. The problem started after i reinstalled windows xp (it actually started right after my power flickered after i reinstalled, but i think that may be coincidence. I'm not sure though.). I've reformatted since then, but the problem still persists.I think the problem might be WZC, but when I try stopping the program like other people have done, my wireless network disconnects pretty soon after. I've also tried just using the intel software, but that didn't work either. It was fine for a while last night after I changed to the intel software, but after maybe an hour or so it went back to lagging.I have Intel PROSet Wifi agn 5100 as my network card. I'm on a laptop. I also tried doing a ping test in command on my mom's laptop, and it never spiked like mine. Is my network card maybe just too old? I got the laptop almost 4 years ago.
My problem is with xbox live, i have the WNDR 3400 N600 Dual Band Router and i have been experiencing lag spikes since the day i have gotten it. I used to have a wireless adapter and i thought that was the problem so i recently went out and bought a 200 ft ethernet cable so now im hardlined to the router I have the xbox set to highest priority, i have it set with a static ip address for the dmz so i have no restrictions, i have all ports opened just in case, i have great internet speeds : 18.04 mbps download and 4.03 mbps upload and nothing seems to work.. i still have lag that sometimes disconnects me from xbox live and ruins the whole gaming experience.
