SMC2804WBR Router - Internet Is Very Slow And Refuse To Load Some Websites
Jun 24, 2011
I have an SMC2804WBR router. It runs slowly and refuses to even load some web sites. If I unplug it for half an hour, it works fine for three or four minutes and then slows right down again. SMC support told me to reset and reconfigure the settings. I tried it twice. It made no difference at all. It works fine for a few minutes after it has been unplugged but then slows right down. I have the cable connection plugged into a PC running Windows 2000 and that is where I have the router plugged in as well. This is not the machine I use on a daily basis. I use a MacBook Pro via wireless. If I purchase a new router that says the operating system can be OS X or at least XP, can I configure it from the MacBook and will it still work with the PC running on Windows 2000? I was thinking of scrapping the SMC and getting a Linksys E1200-CA.
I purchased the AE3000 Wireless Adapter for my PC, and has been working fine until now. When I first start my PC, my ping starts anywhere between 20-80, then after I try to access anything on the internet it shoots up between 600-1200. It just started happening about 3 days ago, but now it has gotten worse. I can't play any online games, and websites are slow to load.
url...Yesterday all of a sudden my computer wouldn't load up a lot of websites. A lot of my favorite sites to visit now for whatever reason only load to a certain point than stop. The first picture is from Steam, the second is from a browser. It doesn't matter the browser, because it doesn't load on any I've tested.
I recently upgraded my modem and before then my internet connection was working. I was able to connect to websites and all. But once i upgraded it wouldn't allow me to connect. my other computers are able to but not my main one. My ISP told me to bring it in to the shop cause they said something was blocking my connection. I ran some basic things i saw on the internet. i am able to get to web pages through ip address but not through the [URL] type ones.
For some time now, I haven't been able to connect to websites from one.com, from my personal network.I've had full access to all those sites before and the only change I've made myself, is changing the standard internet browser from IE to Firefox.At first I thought the problem was on my desktop Win7 computer (which uses a network cable), but after testing the sites on my macbook, with a wireless connection, and having the same issue.
Short version: when running devices through my e2000 into my CM100 modem, internet access is unstable, packets are lost, and certain websites simply will not load. I am using my apartment complex's **bleep** internet (and I have no choice in the matter) which registered the MAC address of the CM 100. When I run through the CM100 directly, everything works fine. What can I do to fix this?
Long version: I have an e2000 router connected to my PC, Xbox, and wireless devices. The router is then connected to a CM100 cable modem. The modem is connected to my apartment complex's internet access. They required the MAC address of the cable modem. The routed showed an apartment complex domain when I went hunting around, but there is no login to it, and I was never told anything else about the connection.
When I run the router through the modem, the internet access is lousy. Certain websites will never load, the connection drops, and packets are lost. When I run directly through the modem, the connection works perfectly.
I note that the CM100 assigns IP addresses if it cannot get any from the ISP, and there appears to be no way to turn it off. I have tried disabling DHCP on the router, but it did not work. I have changed the router's IP address, but that did not work. I have even tried turnign the router into a simple wireless access point, but that did not work. The modem is at 192.168.100.1, while the router is on 192.168.1.1. Should I change my router's location to 192.168.100.x?
I`m new here I recently purchased the dir-615. I started configuring with cd but i couldn`t get past the step where it should verify if cables are plugged in , so I did it manually. Some pages won`t load , internet speed is slow ( Both wireless and lan speed ) . I am using a PPPOE connection , I even got my ISP to check my settings, and he said it was alright but it reduces my speed by a lot. Usually I download with 1 MB/s with the router on wi-fi I hardly get 50 kb/s and on lan max is 100 kb/s.
I forgot to mention that all of my electronics with a browser cant load these websites, so it cant just be my laptop. I ran scans, restarted, flushed the dns and even tried changing it to a public dns (but it wont load though, so i didnt). Contacted my ISP, but they kept telling me that my internet connection is just fine. Tried changing my wifi router from a newer one that i borrowed, didn't change anything. And still nothing, it's been a week now, it's just frustrating when you have your break early with no one around + no internet D
I have on Desktop wired to the router which is my main pc. When I access internet the website load really slow, but when I connect the pc directly to Comcast modem, it's blitz fast. My internet speed is 15 Mbps. I have another desktop and laptop. None of them have the problem. What settings I have to change to get back to speed I used to have before.I messed up some settings on the Cisco Connect and accidentally reset the router. After re-installing the router the problem started.
I can't load the main page or any user profiles. Can't do it on IE/Firefox/Chrome or the in-game Steam browser. Weird part is that I can use Steam perfectly to play games, Friends system works, etc. Just the websites related to it don't load. Problem started about 2 weeks ago, went away for 5 days, but then came back (only messing with Steam websites again). I know the problem isn't Steam because all my friends have been able to use it normally this whole time.The problem is not limited to my own PC, every computer on my network has the same problem, even iPads/iPhones. I've checked for malware, came up clean; reset router to factory settings, done everything I've been able to come up with and the problem persists.
I am able to ping and tracert websites by name but not load them in firefox or IE. I was able to update minecraft and connect to multiplayer servers to play with others. I have checked the hosts file and am able to telnet [URL] 80 and get a reply in html. I am connected to my modem through a wireless network using a dynamic IP and have uninstalled all antivirus software. The issue started just after installing SpyHunter and running a scan with it.
Pages seem to just randomly choose when to load and when to not load I have to F5 3 or 4 times before the page chooses to finally load. I'm also capped at around 12 ~ 17 kB/s which is ridiculous. My internet connection is bad usually anyway (around 200kB/s) and I can live with that but 15kB/s? No way.
Security software - McAfee (did have avg as well but deleted it a while ago. Tried to install it again but the dodgy connection stopped me)

I've had this problem for a few months now , I got bt infinty in and the engineer came set up my laptop up and whatever else he had to so (i wasnt there just my daughter ) i came home tried my laptop working and connected no problem , my internet tv was working ok and all the smart phones connected and worked ok but my daughters samsung n130 netbook connected wireless no problem but when you load up her home page using any of her browsers ie, chrome & IE it comes up then when you try to go to a web page nothing happens on chrome it says error 105 , now ive tried everything myself and by doing some research myself it seems its got something to do with the DNS but i dont know how to fix it im really starting to crack up ive seen on other forums about people having the same problem but no one seems to have an answer to it or its very complicated to understand
I have for the past few weeks not been able to load any Valve associated website to be more precise Steam website on my pc. Doeesn't matter whether I use IE, CHROME or FIREFOX. There always appears to be a Gate Way timeout error. This all started about a week ago. Yesterday I still had Steam installed on my computer and Steam Store page in Steam would also not load. Any other game website by Valve also doesn't load. THis error always appears:
Gateway Timeout The following error occurred: [code=GATEWAY_TIMEOUT] A gateway timeout occurred. The server is unreachable. Retry the request. contact the administrator.
So today I checked if its only like that on my computer, so I tried loading Steam on my parents computer and it gave me the same error. [URL]
I turned on my PC and started using Facebook normally, it was a bit slower than usual and then suddenly, it didn't load anymore. I tried more than once, but then it started loading only text on the left side of the page and I couldn't use it practically. This happened also with Yahoo, but I didn't see it happening with some other websites, they work totally normally.I stress I have tried clearing the whole cache and history of Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, system restore, check of sfc.exe, creation of new user account, running of an Ubuntu LIVE CD, uninstallation of all browsers and installation of the latest versions once again, changing of the MTU to 1500, turning off my router and antenna but unfortunately nothing has worked till now.What wonders me is that Facebook works normally on my laptop which uses wireless connection provided by the same router and antenna.
How fun. Earlier this week, my state experienced some severe weather which ended with a tree on our street falling and the power going out all day. It took a bit longer after that for our cable services to be restored - internet included. Ever since then, my computer in particular seems to be screwing things up for everyone else. When my computer is shut off, every other computer (one laptop, two desktops) in the house has been able to connect to the internet and maintain that connection all day. However, as soon as mine connects, the connection dies within minutes - for everyone.
I thought it could be an IP conflict but every machine in the house is set to obtain their IP automatically. Interestingly enough, when the XBOX 360 is bridged through my computer it (the xbox) also maintains a connection, albeit a slower one.I have reset both the router and modem, including hard resets, and I've pinged and pinged and pinged. The same thing seems to happen regardless of whether I am using a wired or wireless connection. Here's what I have:
Computer model is HP DV6838nr. Modem is Toshiba DAZ8821F. Router is Linksys wrt54g v5. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate.
I am using Firefox but have also tried Opera with the same results.
-- + Computer has been showing a successful connection in the Network and Sharing Center even when websites fail to load and the connection has gone down for others.
+ When trying to use a wired connection for the first time, the computer could not connected. IT jumped back and forth between "Identifying..." and no connection at all.
+ I reset the router with both wired and wireless connections. With the wireless, it would become functional for a few minutes after being reset and then fail again. With the wired, the router would not broadcast at all. I ended up having to unplug it for a minute and then plug it back in to get it to broadcast again.
+ I tried using my cable with just the modem, but the Data and PC lights failed to light up upon doing this.
+ After all of this, I removed the wired connection and re-enabled my wireless on the laptop. Connection was restored for a few minutes.
+ Despite a successful ping after two minutes, most websites wouldn't load.
+ Switched to a different laptop after turning mine off and was able to maintain a normal internet connection for over an hour.After starting up the computer for the first time:
C:UsersManda>ping yahoo.com
Pinging yahoo.com [67.195.160.76] with 32 bytes of data: Request timed out. Request timed out. Request timed out. Request timed out.[code].....
Interestingly enough, despite the successful pings I was still unable to get most websites to load on my browser.
I have 4 computers using the DIR-615. One of them works just fine (windows 7) the other ones (XP sp3) are very slow, one of which is on the wireless the others are plugged in.
Samsung N130 and all. But the strange thing is that I havent had any problem whatsoever connecting to any wireless internet before yesterday. I couldnt connect and wasnt sure if it was my laptop or if it was the server in the building or something... but when I came to visit my mom later in the day I brought my laptop to test and it woud connect to her wifi... I could go to Google.. I can search but I can't go to any other website.It is extremely frustrating. Especially because I need internet for my job and up until yesterday the N130 was more then doing the job.[CODE]
I'm using DIR 600 for home use. Recently, I noticed that I have trouble connecting to some websites (Twitpic.com, 4shared.com) which I never had any problems before I used the wireless router. It doesn't exactly block the websites but rather it won't load completely (i.e., with Twitpic, I can load the site but not the images; for 4shared I really can't load the page itself).Initially, I had problems updating JDownloader after installation. I tried using our old Edimax wired router, and the JDownloader update worked flawlessly. I also tried loading Twitpic while connected via LAN, and it also worked properly.I'm assuming the problem lies with the wireless router but when I set it up for use I only tinkered with the WPA/WPA2 security for a password-secured wifi connection at home, and nothing more since I can't understand the other features.
When I connect through my router, GMail, Livejournal, Yahoo and Facebook and some other sites are really slow, especially Google and Livejournal. If I connect directly to the modem, they are fine. I've reset the modem to factory and it's still slow on both my Vista PC connected with a cable and my GF's Macbook on wifi. I clear the cookies regularly, use CCleaner, scanned for adware, viruses. What do I do?
I was playing a MMO game called Wizard101, when randomly, I disconnected from it. I tried first to re-connect to the game, no success.So I tried going to its website, loads very slowly, sometimes not loading at all.Then I wanted to try go to its fansite, to ask for support there, but it turns out that the fansite isn't loading too.I try to load a few more pages that is related to the game, but none of them will load.However everything else seems to load just like normal.
I try to fix this with using my usuall fixes: - I tried connecting to the websites on another computer. Didn't work. - Restarted my internet + reset my router back to standard. Neither did this work.
I haven't changed any of my internet settings in a few months; so I doubt anything there would be the problem.
I got a new DIR-655 RevB today, and set it all up. It works fine right now in terms of speed, but certain websites (specifically, facebook.com) load very slowly on wireless. I've tried on two computers with different browsers / operating systems and it still loads slow. I also have comcast which I use a linksys router with, and it loads instantly. Connecting through wired works. Also, I get no slow down when connecting wirelessly if I use a VPN. When I do a speed test, I get my full speed, so that's not a problem.
A few things I have tried:
-Changing the wireless channel -Disabling QoS -Disabling traffic shaping -Changing DNS servers -Transmit only N/G -Reducing MTU size -Disable Dynamic DNS -Disable advanced DNS service -Connect to facebook through SSL and not -Turning router off and on again
Also as a side, unrelated problem, whenever I enable a few ports to be forwarded, I can't connect to the internet when either wired or wireless?
I am using Comcast as an ISP and have a standalone Arris modem. I, obviously, have a DIR-655 router REV B with a firmware revision on 2.00NA. I have already turned off packet shaping and QOS. Also, I have set the firewall settings to Endpoint Independent for both TCP and UDP, and assigned static IP addresses to my computers. The problem I am having is that whenever I go to any secure websites, i.e. anything that starts with https, it takes an extraordinary long time to log in and to navigate to any webpages therein. I also cannot upload photos to a website and when I try the Speed-test.net website the download speed is OK but the upload test errors out, it doesn't connect.
Regarding to subject above, I using Cisco 1921/K9 which I have bought from ECSM on 19-march 2012 currently facing a problem with the cisco. My problem is the I can’t browse most of the webpages and very slow browsing even I’m using Unifi 10mbps .
I couldn't open websites ex. msn.com / yahoo.com but if i bypass the cisco router there is no issue appear. I have checked the setup and there are no problem on the configuration or the Unifi line . I think it would be any hardware problem. I have attached the info of configuration the cisco .
I just installed a Cisco ASA 5505 in my company's network,however the network became so slow and many websites cannot be opened or it takes toolong to open (yahoo, hotmail etc.) resulting to a request time out sometimes.
Here is my configuration:
ASA Version 8.2(1) !hostname xxxxxxenable password xxxxxx encryptedpasswd xxxxx encryptednames!interface Vlan1 nameif inside security-level 100 ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 !interface Vlan2 nameif outside security-level 0 ip address
Experienced the same sort of behaviour with an ACE 4710 version A3 (2.5). When trying to connect to a webpage on port 443, the pages over 1 minute to download fully. I have timed the download using the plug-in firefox. What is strange is that the browser successfully makes the connection, 200OK etc, but each 'get' takes a very long time to transfer. If I go directly to the server and don't pass via the ACE the page takes between .7 and 1 second to transfer.Is there a way to speed this transfer up, I am currently looking at connection maps.
webpage A will take 1 second to load, and webpage B will take 6 seconds to load. After a browser refresh, webpage A might take 5-8 seconds to load, and webpage B will take 1 second to load.
Hardware rev A1 Firmware 1.13NA
Router is about 2 years old.
I tried resetting the router prior to the firmware update, no different. This is happening on both PC's. I tried a direct connect to the modem, and it seemed to work fine, but this doesn't always happen.
recently one of the two laptops i have at home started to occasionally refuse to connect to the internet through wireless, the other laptop still works perfectly, both are running windows 7. The story is in my building you have to connect twice. the 1st is to connect to the wireless (which both laptops do with no problem). Then you get a pop up (or open a browser) that tell you further log in is required. when you open the browser you put in the 2nd set of log in info and away you go.Recently one of the two laptops started to occasionally refuse to open the 2nd log in page once i open the browser. leaving me stranded out of the internet. Usually i play around with things and it just fixes itself. This tends to happen at random and with no pattern. it works for few days and then it happens again.
I am seeing on my 3750E series switches (WS-C3750E-48TD). I have multiple VLANs configured on here, one which is used as a 'workstation' VLAN. I have an inbound ACL applied to the VLAN interface *(int vlan 50 to be exact). This list is admittedly long at roughly 6000 ACE's. Now I just recently installed these switches as they replaced some 4507R switches which we moved to our new centralized DC. Here is the issue I am having. This same ACL was applied to the same VLAN interface on the 4507s when they were doing the work of the 3750s. What I used to be able to do was actually edit the ACL by removing it with no ip access-list extended WS-In and then followed up by the ip access-list extended WS-In ......and the lines I wanted in the ACL. I know I could use the line numbers to edit the ACL but this worked OK for me. When I would do this on the 4507R, the ACL was still applied to the interface but traffic never seemed affected by the removal and re-adding of the ACL. I did this by copying and pasting the ACL into a terminal window. It seemed as though on the 4507 the ACL was not compiled until the entire thing was in loaded in and therefore traffic was not processed by the ACL until the load was done
