SMCWBR14S-N4 Router - Laptop With 150mbps USB Wireless Adapter Only Runs At 54mbps

Feb 7, 2013

I have an SMCWBR14S-N4 router, and I'm using a usb wireless adapter that says it supports n, and promises speeds of 150 mbps. My signal strength is excellent, yet my speed is only 54 mbps. This is the only wireless connection on my network, I have 2 PCs connected at 100 mbps, and a Dish DVR connected at who knows what speed.

I've been trying to read questions and answers from others online, and I keep reading that ISP speed plays a role. How does my ISP's speed affect my wireless network's speed? (Plus, I run speedtest.net all the time and my download speed is usually 260 mbps.)

But my question is simply why is my speed so low and what can I do about it?

Wireless Dropped From 150Mbps To 54Mbps

Apr 29, 2012

I bought a new system case, installed everything from the old case added 2 additional fans and now my wireless network speed dropped from 150 to 54 aand I have no clue why. New case has a bottom mounted PSU and old had a top mount so netcard sets about 4" higher then it used to but other then that nothing has changed. Also when I brouse thru things I noticed this "LocalSystemNetworkRestricted" allot of places and do not remember seeing this before, I have used a different system to check out my router and it is same as always.

Cabling / Cards :: Linksys N300 - Usb Wifi Adapter Runs Very Slowly?

Dec 23, 2012

I am using my Iphone 5 as a personal hotspot at home. It gets LTE so my speed is very fast as compared to satellite service from HughesNet. My laptop downloads at 12 mbs and uploads at 5 mbs versus satellite which is about 1 mbs. However, I installed a Linksys N300 usb adapter on my wife's workstation and it is actually slower than 1 mbs. The workstation is about 4 years old running on Vista. I have tried the usb adapter in all four usb slots with no change in performance.

TP Link TL-WN722N 150mbps USB Wireless Adapter Running Slowly And Disconnecting

Jul 23, 2012

I have a TP Link TL-WN722N 150mbps USB wireless adapter I use with my desktop. I've had it for about 6 months and it has been mostly fine with a few little problems. I recently went away for a few weeks and when I returned I found that my wireless adapter is running very slowly and disconecting from the router. It is an adapter problem as no one else in my house is having the same issues. When the adapter does run slowly the only way to speed it up is to unplug it and plug it in again. This puts it back to a bearable speed but usually this drops within 30 minutes.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT320N - Devices Only Connect At 54mbps?

Feb 24, 2012

I just installed a WRT320N for someone's home network, with the intent of providing better speed for network printing.
 
Unfortunately, all four of his n-capable Windows computers will only connect at 54mbps. Four different computers (Win7, Vista, XP), each with a different brand/model of n-capable network adapter.
 
I suppose I could try setting the wireless to n-only instead of "mixed". However, he's got a couple g-only devices as well, so that wouldn't work.
 
I tried updating the firmware to latest/greatest - no effect.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E3000 Runs Very Hot Compared To Other?

Apr 25, 2010

My brand new E3000 runs very hot compared to other (e.g. Netgear WRT624 Super G) that I have had.  It get so hot that the hard surface it is on, and the underside of the unit itself, is almost too hot to hold.  Is this typical for the E3000 and also other E-series?  Won't this characteristic lead to early electronics failure?

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT320N XBox Runs Fine As Long As Wired Isn't

Dec 1, 2011

There are 2 XBox's in the house and 1 is downstairs wired into the WRT320N Router.  The upstairs XBox is running wirelessly through the router.  Each of the XBox's work fine playing Modern Warfare 3, when only one is playing, but if both of us are playing, the wired connection works great, while the wireless connection is really slow and laggy.  Again, the wireless XBox runs fine as long as the wired XBox isn't also playing MW3.

Wireless :: DIR-628 - Wireless N Router Always Runs At G Speed?

Dec 4, 2011

My D-LINK DIR-628 Wireless N router always runs at G speed. I have two computers on it, each with a Wireless N USB adapter. Yet the most I can get is 54 mbps speed. Could it be an Android phone accessing the wi-fi and slowing everything else down? What speed can a My-Touch 4G run at? Maybe that is not the cause anyway..

Cisco Wireless :: 1142 AP Showing Maximum Of Only 54mbps In Network Info Dialogue Box

Mar 18, 2013

I have encountering a problem with a new installation at my clients side recently.We have a 5508 wlc and a bunch of Laps connected to it.Recently we associated a 1142ap to the same controller.The issue we are facing is that , the client laptops that are connected to THIS ap are showing maximum of only 54mbps in their network information dialogue box.Initially i couldn't understand why this could happen.But after a bit of research , i came to know that this could happen because of ``unticked`` data rates in the controller , or because of not using wpa2 with aes as the security standard for N-series access points.Now i have enabled all data rates in the High Throughput section as well as enabled the correct encryption standard.But still the issue persists.We have checked with multiple laptops , to rule out the possibility of a faulty n/w card

D-Link DIR-655 :: 802.11n Only Getting 54mbps?

Jan 19, 2011

why I would get only 54mbps on an 802.11n connection with laptop sitting right next to the router with 100% signal strength according to the router? Setting are mixed mode: 802.11n & g, Enable channel scan, Best Transmission Rate, Auto 20/40 width.

Could it be due to WEP security (need to use this for my kids Nintendo DS to connect)

I don't care about getting 300mbps like a lot of other are talking about.  I just want more than 54mbps!

Re-enable Wireless Adapter Results In Laptop

Sep 23, 2011

I'm using an Acer Aspire 5532 and just recently set up my own network with my Cisco WRT120N router. I used the installation disc and set up a WPA password, named my router, and my network. For the installation, it seemed I could not even start without physically linking the router to my laptop with the included rollover cable. I finished that, and ever since my wireless adapter has been disabled. Whenever I attempt to enable it, I get an error; my laptop shuts down and I'm presented with blue screen. The only way I've been able to get back to normal is to reboot in safe mode and than do a system restore.
