New Router / Modem Want Faster Speeds

Aug 18, 2012

My current home set-up is two desktops on Xfinity internet, using a MOTOROLA SB5120 modem pared with a WRT160N V3 router.I was told that my router was bottlenecking my download speeds. It is quite annoying when we can't download anything because it will slow any gameplay going on, we have to do one thing a time. Even Youtube videos will slow us down.[code] would I benefit from getting a new modem or router.

Linksys Wired Router :: E4200 Has Faster Upload Speeds Than Download?

Mar 24, 2013

I just upgrade my service with Comcast so I can now get up to 50Mbps, however the modem when directly connected to the PC can obtain these speeds, it does not when the PC is connected to the E4200 router. In fact the Cisco Connect speed test shows the upload speeds (10+ Mbps) to be faster than the download speed(4.82 Mbps). I upgraded the firmware to the latest level but it did not make a difference.

Wifi Not Support Faster Speeds

Dec 29, 2011

I recently upgraded my internet speed from 16/Mbps to 50/Mbps download I have a linksys E2500 dual band router and various wireless devices. Some of the devices are not N capable and I don't expect they will benefit from the enhanced speed. However my N capable devices are not receiving the upgraded speed as well. I have them set to WPA2 personal and the only way I can get the 50/Mbps download rate is to bypass wireless and use an ethernet cable. If I do this then I get the speed I want and if I use Wi-Fi I get around 20/Mbps.

Sb6120 Modem - Wired Is Always Going To Be Faster Than Wireless

Jan 6, 2012

Just got cable and new hardware and been running bandwidth tests. I know wired is always going to be faster than wireless but was wondering if there were things I can do to see where the bottleneck is.

I have cable internet with a sb6120 modem and the asus rt-n56u router. When I go wired, I get 40+mbs down and when I go wireless I'm getting approx 20mbs down. Dont get me wrong, this is more than adequate but was wondering why the huge difference. I'm not anywhere close to the theoretical max.

The rt-n56u is on firmware 1.0.1.7f which is current. My desktop uses the WMP600n and my laptop has the Intel 5100 AGN built into it - both have updated firmwares.

Belkin F7D4301 - Router Has Slow Wireless Speeds But Fast Ethernet Speeds

May 19, 2013

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?

Two Vastly Different Speeds On Same Modem With Devices

May 2, 2012

On my laptop, I get horrendously low speeds on our modem, but on my iPhone under the same WiFi, I get very fast speeds. On my Laptop, pages render very slowly, YouTube won't load etc. I also can't do online gaming or anything.What's causing this? I've tried the ol' 'turning it off and on again' trick for every thing but it doesn't work. I tried connecting it to the modem and it went slower!

D-Link DIR-655 :: Router Faster In True N Than In G+N?

Jan 1, 2013

I just read online that in order to get real life high speed from your N router you need to set it to only N, or not have any other G devices connected. If not it wil fall back on the G speed.Here the text:" Wireless N claims "real world" speeds of 130-160Mbps, with a listed maximum of 300Mbps. This is reliant on the router transmitting in full 802.11n mode, which is impossible when an 802.11g device is also connected to the network."And if so. What is real life expected speed on the dir 655 on a wireless 300 card excelent connection either with pure N and then with combined N/G?

Why Does Router Ping Google Faster Than A Device On Network

Aug 6, 2012

When I ping google from my computer I get 0% packet loss and average ping time is 35ms. But when I ping any device on my network the time is 147ms and 25% loss. Shouldn't it ping my devices faster?

Double Router Forwarding - To Make The Internet Faster

Sep 30, 2011

I'm currently switching from a certain internet provider to another and I'm forced to get another router. What I wanted to do is since the initial router has to be on the first floor, I'd like to have the second one on the top floor closer to my computer whereas they would share a dedicated connection between each other wirelessly so it would make my connection faster rather than just having my pc connect directly wirelessly to the initial router on the first floor. Is that possible?

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT120N N Configuration Is Much Faster Than Old G

Jan 11, 2010

I just bought a new WRT120N Router. It worked perfectly wired and wireless.But my old laptop burned, and the new one came with a Atheros  AR5B93 Wireless Network Adapter, which is Draft-N compatible.The laptop connects to the router fine, but using only the G type. When I set the router to use only 802.11n, i get a message from Windows, like:  "Windows was unable to connect to the network."because the N configuration is much faster than the old G.

D-Link DIR-855 Router - Video Streams Faster When Using Proxy

Aug 8, 2012

So i'm behind a fiber 100mbit connection, and for the past few weeks i've been noticing overall slowness on everything video related, from youtube to any kind of stream using flash video.If I try to watch a video on youtube it will constantly buffer, the same with stuff like ustream and the like.

The odd thing is that I have VPN service that I use to avoid regional restrictions, and when I use it to stream anything, then all the videos and streams are silky smooth and load pretty quickly which is odd since It should work on reverse. Also, a speed test through the proxy gives me no more than 10mbit, while without the proxy I get 95+mbit.

Is it something with the router? I've never heard of the ISP throttling stuff.Like I said, everything works perfectly, except video streams. I can max out torrents at more than 10 MB/s.The router im using is a D-link dir-855 (provided by my isp). I head about disabling QoS.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Wrt54gl Much Faster On Wired Then On Wifi

Sep 29, 2012

am having speed issues on the wireless side of my WRT54GL v1.1 router.When I hook up a laptop to the wired port, am getting roughly 5.4mps down when wired, but only 1.2mpbs down on wireless. I am tried doing a factory restore. I have made sure that no QoS is in place. I have tried multiple devices to make sure it is not something on the device side causing this problem, but all the devices perform just as poorly on wireless but as well on wired.

Wireless Speeds With Linksys Router

Nov 21, 2012

Recently the Comcast internet service in my area was upgraded to 50+ Mbps/10+ Mbps download/upload respectively. If I have my computer wired to the router, I see the advertised speeds of 50/10. If I go wireless, the speeds drop to around 30 Mbps download, but stay at around 10 Mbps upload. The router I have is a Linksys WRT160Nv1.I believe the issue has to do with "WMM Support" in my router's settings. From what I've heard, the router has to have WMM enabled for true wireless N speeds, but when I have WMM enabled, my wireless download speeds drop to around .5 Mbps. However, this is the odd part. My upload speeds stay at 10+ Mbps. This happens for all devices in my house.

D-Link DIR-655 :: Why Is N Not Faster

Nov 3, 2012

So I had an iphone 4 and switched my signal to B and G only to get better service since my iPhone 4 only had G so not worth having N.Speedtest.net is about 5.69mbps download.I got a new iphone 5 and switch to G and N mixed thinking I'd get better speeds.When I switched speeds stayed about the same.

I do want a mixed signal if possible for PS3, other iphone 4, and laptops that don't have N wireless.Is that to be expected? or is something else going on that I'm missing?I'm running Firmware Version: 1.35NA and Hardware Version: A4

Slow Download Speeds When Connected To Router

Apr 14, 2012

I have been searching for about 2 days now about this problem and have tried almost everything I can think of to fix it but none seems to work Okay so I have a ISP package for 55 Mbp/s Down and 3 Mbp/s Up but when connected to the router either lan or wireless I am speedtesting at about 15 Mbp/s. I have called the cable company, they had told me that my signal was fine blah blah, I insisted the guy come out and still look at it so he did and on that day it just decided to run at the advertised speeds. I am running a WNDR 3400 Netgear V1 Router. I have tried changing MTU Size.
