After a very unsuccessful attempt to talk with technical support, I decided to post here. I probably should have posted here first... lesson learned.I have Comcast Cable internet and get approx 24-25 Mb/s download speed when directly connected to the modem.When I connect via the router's ethernet port, my download speed drops to 14Mb/s.When I connect via wifi -- the download speed drops the whole way to 1.5Mb/s?
View 4 RepliesI have a problem with my laptop...i have a Packard Bell laptop connected to my wireless router WAG 320n and it has been working fine until yesterday when it didnt connect automaticly as it have been doing before because i have my ssid network saved on my laptop!
I logged on to the router page and changed from standard channel to wide channel and also tried different channels at the same time that i tried connecting with the laptop but i get the same message everytime "Unable to connect!
My E4200 recently started to randomly shut down. To say the least this is very aggravating. Nothing has changed, location still the same and it seems to be overheating or in the very least getting warm. In the last It will also shut down multiple times a day too. I have done some reading and am beginning to regret this purchase.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have my broadband line feeding into a WAG 320N in an outside room. There are computers in the outside room which are wired to the modem via CAT leads & plugs. Wireless is turned on, but is not currently being used in this room, as the wired connections work fine. From this outside room there is an underground cable (12 metres) to the house, which through a CAT lead is plugged into another WAG 320N, which operates primarily wirelessly, so laptop computers can be used in the house wirelessly. When the outside room modem is turned on AND the house modem is turned on, only one modem OR the other can access the internet, NOT BOTH. Why can't both modems operate wired and wirelessly. What is the problem? Is there a conflict between the two wireless signals? Can/ should I turn off the wireless signal from the outside modem (if so HOW?) . OR is there a way I can have both modems transmitting a wireless signal.

Before, i've only had mild connectivity issues, mainly dropping internet for a few seconds, but I've always considered that my router's issue. Latley though, my internet has been slowing down and then dropping for minutes at a time and today I have absolutely no connection. A red X across my "bars." It says i'm connected to my home network when I click the bars, but when I go under Networking it says i'm not connected to any network.

I just recently had my hard drive replaced by the manufacturer of my computer (Lenovo) because it started clicking. When I got it back it started making my wireless router/DSL modem reset all the time. I didn't have this issue before. I'm running Windows 7 Home 64 Bit. While the computer was off being repaired I was using a Win XP machine and had it connected through Ethernet cable. I did not have any issues with the router/modem while the XP machine was connected. I tried connecting the Win 7 computer up through ethernet cable (hard wired) and it still crashes the router/modem. I also connected the XP machine back up (hard wired) to the router and had no problems. Is it possible that the wrong drivers were installed by the lenovo techs? I have also noticed that my touchpad does not work the same as it did before too. And is it possible that my laptop is making the router crash out due to wrong configurations?

(which I don't think is the problem, as I have tested without the switch and it still times out) I only ever really notice it when im browsing on the web on any site. I use a wired connections I have not noticed this on any other machine how ever the timeouts are random and streaming/downloading seems to work fine.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIt seems like after a certain amount of time, maybe a few days... my E3000 gets slowww.. I'm talking dog slow. And it's not just the internet, I have a media server connected to it, and usually when I put something on it, the transfer rate is about 3.5MB/s (not bits, bytes). But everything is slow, I top out at speed of maybe 1/6 normal on the internet as well.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have FiOS and their supplied wireless router Actiontec #MI424WR. I have home theater equipment that uses the newer N signal so I purchased a Linksys E3000 Wireless-N Router. I have one of the LAN outputs on the Actiontec feeding the Linksys input and Wi-Fi turned off on the Actiontec. This is working good for my wireless home theater equipment but I am having problems with my wired speed. It has gone from averaging anywhere from 20 to 30 mbps on numerous test sites when plugged into the Actiontec to averaging around 10 mbps when plugged into the Linksys.
1) Is my wireless N speed going to top out at 10mbps or less since that is all the router is showing on wired? Shouldn�t N be broadcasting a faster speed if given the ability?
2) I have my computer currently plugged directly into the Linksys verses the Actiontec. This makes it easier to program the Linksys router. Since I am no longer using the wireless part of the Actiontec there really is no need to be plugged into it. Is there anything I can do get the speed higher on the Linksys, a setting I can change? Will I have to plug the computer back into the Actiontec to get the higher speed and then move it every time I may need to make a change to the Linksys?
I bought WRT160Nv3 3 months ago . The computer is wired to the router . So I noticed 5 says ago that my download speed is slower – from 70mbps to20-30mbps . I have called the cable company and their tech support reports a good signal to the house. My firmware is up to date . I tried hard resetting the router-nothing.Plug,unplug still nothing.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI bought the new E2500 Router about 5 months ago and it was great until one day the wilreless part would not give me any speed at all. I ran a wired test of the router and I would get full 30Mbps speed that I'm supposed to get. So after firmware updates and everything else I took it back and got another one.It has worked great for a month and today it's now doing the same wilress slow down issue. I can run a lan connected test and get full speed. But wireless is bouncing around at 5Mbps~13Mbps. No where near the 30Mbps I'm supposed to be getting. What is causing the wireless to bomb like this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedToday I upgraded my 10/100mbps LAN to 100/1000mbps LAN with Wireless using the Linksys WTR320N. The initial testing went without problems. The small LAN I setup with 2 laptops, router and modem worked fine and I plugged in the other systems.
During the testing the speed of the internet was like before, instant loading of most of the pages (i.e. Facebook, Youtube) and reached the max speed capable, which is 23MBps together with a low ping of arround 30.
Now, with the full network the internetspeed doesn't top 20MBps anymore, it sticks back to 15-17, which is a loss of 6MBps on my connection. After checking out various topics on this and other forums I upgraded the firmware from 1.0.0.3 to 1.0.0.4. Which gave a small improvement but I still don't reach my max speed, nor a decent ping and pageload times.
I got a Cable-internet provider which doesn't require password/username to logon to, so it's a permanent connection. MTU is at 1500, and because I don't know what it is (I saw the phrase and changing it to 1300/1350 a few times while searching for a solution).
How I can speed up the loadtimes and internetspeed? The problems are both on wired as wireless connection. Signal strength of the wireless is maximum and the wired connections never gave problems before.
I just got a Macbook Air and couldn't get connected at home so I went and bought a new router (our other router was old!!). We purchased the E1200. Our Dell desktop seems to have a fine connection, but my MacBook Air and my husbands laptop are really slow when on the internet.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with new E4200 WAN speed. I have 1Gb connection from my ISP, and my old Netgear router gives me about 350 Mbps WAN speed, but with new E4200 I only got 110 Mbps max download speed.Cisco live support tried suggested to change MTU from Auto to 1400 (and try different wlan channels, even that I don't use wlan). This MTU size change makes no difference with WAN speed. I have latest firmaware installed, router reseted several times, tried different cables etc. Also with same cable sets my old Netgear still gives about 3 times better WAN speed.WAN port (and all LAN ports) seems to negotiated at 1000 Mbps at both ONT (optical network terminal) and Linksys settings page, but unfortanately there is no way to change the setting from auto to manual at E4200 settings (and it is not possible to change any settings of ONT by user). I was thinking that if somehow it won't auto negotiate properly (even if the setting page says its ok) but maybe it actually negotiated 100 Mbps port to WAN.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI just purchased an e1200 wireless router. Wireless speeds seem to be very slow. I'm trying to transfer 1 file to my media server, and am only getting 221kb/s. Also, internet connection seems to be slow as well (though if I plug directly into the router or the modem, I get speeds of 25Mbps, however when connecting wirelessly via the router I get speeds closer to 2Mbps (according to speedtest.com).I've played around with the settings as per other posts, and seemed to get the best speeds with the following config (however it is still very poor):
- security mode: WPA2 Personal
- network mode: B/G (have also tried N, which gave worse speeds)
- channels 1,3,6,9, and 11

View 2 Replies View RelatedI purchased an EA6500 router on March 1 2013 – since then my wireless network has became very unreliable. The network runs fine for a short period of time then it gets extremely slow. I constantly have to reboot the router to see better performance. When I run the built-in router speed check, it shows that I am getting 20 Mbps for downloads which is what I expected to see and then as time goes on, the speed goes as slow as 1 Mbps for downloads. I finally had to go back to my very old Linksys WRT54GS router to have a stable network again. I called Linksys customer support and they want to charge me a fee to diagnose the router that will only be refundable if they find any issues. I find it completely unacceptable to have to spend more money for an item that is only a month old that will probably show no issues when they run their diagnoses since they had me reboot the router while I was on the phone with them. I want to warn others not buy this router especially when the company cannot stand behind their product that is only 34 days old!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just installed my EA4500 and my connection speed dropped from 20 mbits/s to around 3 or 4 mbs/s.When i connect directly with the modem, the speed gets back to normal.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been using WRT54GC for over 3 months, but about two weeks ago I started to experience some strange behavior. About every day connection slows down to a few kbytes/sec (less than dial-up). Ping to comcast.net (my ISP) shows about 50% pings timeouted, 40% pings 50ms and 10% pings about 1 sec. Rebooting router works, but only for a few hours.I replaced the modem with a different model - it didn't work, so it's not the modem. I removed router and connected directly - no slowdown occurs any more, so it's not the computer. I am running latest firmware.

I have confirmed ports, and protocol types (TCP or UDP) and nothing seems to work.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI bought a EA 3500 router and my speed is going only half the speed it was without the router.I have charter 100 meg internet, and a alienware Pc with a gigabit card.I wa going 100 megs and now I am at 38-50.I have tried hard reset with the bottom button, I have turned off all firewalls, I have changed my MTU to 1400 and 1500, I have went to speedguide.net and ran a optimizer., I have tried just about everything I can think of. firmware is up to date.
Is there anything I am missing, or am I not going to get these speeds with this router, I was told when I bought it, it was what I needed, Was I duped?, or is there just some setting i need to fix i am not aware of?
My wrt54g (firmware old - v1.00.6) has run fine for years until my daughter got a laptop with win7. All my other systems still run XP or win2k. I only run wireless with her win7 and one netbook with xp, all the other connections are wired.
Going to speedtest.net and after I reset (pull power) the router, I get 20Mbps download. After the win7 wifi runs for a bit, download speed drops to 2 Mbps or less. It seems to be after she goes to you tube and starts watching videos. If I reset again, it immediately goes back to the full speed of 20. I measure this after she's taken her laptop off the network. So, whatever her win7 is doing, it stays that way after she disconnects (i.e. slow on my other systems) until the reset. I also measured the speed on her win7 system and it also would slow there as well and speed up after a reset (for a while).
I have a WRT320N router. It is hooked to a Comcast cable modem (Motorola SB5101). After using it for a few days, my Internet connection becomes very slow and I have to reset the router. Generally I get download speeds of 10+ Mbps, but then it slows to about 1 Mbps or less. One time I was only getting 300 Kbps.I'm using a wired connection when this happens, so wireless is not the issue. Also, there is no firmware update available for my router; 1.0.01 was already on it. The only settings that I've changed besides the password are related to the wireless.As soon as I unplug the router and plug it back in, it's fine again for a few days. At first I thought it might be my cable Internet connection, but because I'm not having to reset the cable modem?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a WRT600N router. I have one PC that is connected to the router via a wired connection. I also have an iPad (3rd generation) that is connected to the router via a wireless connection. On my PC, I went to speedtest.net and determined that I am receiving like 20MB downloads via the wired connection. However, my iPad only gets approximately less than 2 MB download speeds. I have tried reseting the router and I do have what I believe to be the latest firmware update (Firmware Version: 1.01.36 build 4). I also receive the slow download speeds when I try connecting the other wireless devices. I assume my problem has to do with some sort of configuration setting found in the router configuration page (http://192.168.1.1/). The router is only a few feet away from my iPad so the signal strength is strong. I just don't understand why I'm receiving such slow wireless download speeds.
