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!
View 11 Repliesi have had a DIR-655 Rev. A router for years now and had no problems connecting my laptop to it well over 150m, the iproducts never got over 65m, i'm OK with that if they just won't but i would like to get there if possible. i went out and picked up a 2nd 655 (rev B) and flashed the bios up to the newest version 2.03NA and went in and mirrored all of the settings from the original router and then replaced the old router with the new one. the old router is not being used at this time though there are plans to use it as an access point later in another part of the house. i have updated the drivers for the wireless N card on my laptop (i can't remember the name of the adapter or the model, i'll provide that when i go home for lunch today). i've tried various settings for security, (i want to use WPA2 only, personal key, AES cipher, channel width 20/40 auto) i've even tried no security and it still won't connect over 65m.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have two buildings on my property that I need to network together. One is my home about 3500 Sq. Ft. and the other is a garage about 3000 Sq. Ft. The two buildings are about 250 feet away from each other. Both are fed from the same utility pole that is half way between them. That means both are on the same transformer, but each has its own metered electrical service.Right now I am using 10 Mb. Home Phone Line network adapters. They work OK but data speeds are limited to about 5 Mb. of throughput and the adapters are no longer available. I also have WiFi at both locations but neither one will talk far enough to cover the other building.I also use X10 remote controls in my house. I have tested them from the house to the garage and they do not work at all over that distance

My xbox 360 can't even stream HD without buffering every few mins. It also will just stop, and be unable to see the media for a couple minutes (when doing HD).I have wireless setup as WPA2, and the devices I use wirelessly are N devices.

Both my iphone5 and new iPad would slow down. The quick fix wasto turn the wifi on the device off, then the speed would return when reconnected. Also clicking "renew lease" in the iPhone wireless settings seemed to correct the issue.I'm not sure if there is a setting on the iOS devices or the router I can change to stop this.

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?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Comcast Motorola Surfboard rental modem. It works fine, great speeds etc etc. It has no router or bridge support.
I use this modem to connect to the web on my ps3 and PC. What I have been doing is simply unplugging the ethernet cord from one device, and putting it in the other device to switch. But of course things can't be simple...
Every time I switch devices, the modem tries to reconnect and does a cycle where every time it only reaches the "Send" light. So I have to power cycle my modem and wait about a half hour before my connection resumes...
I read something about PPPoE, but Comcast doesn't even use it so that won't work.
I just moved into a new place and the cable company supplied me with a Motorola sbg6580 gateway and I have a netgear wnr3500l router with dd-wrt. because of location I have computers plugged into both devices (htpc and game consoles in the gateway, desktops in the netgear). how would i configure the gateway and router so everything sits on a single network AND the netgear with dd-wrt handling all the heavy lifting (port forwarding mostly)
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have installed my new E4200 and it works beautifully. I have several wirelss adapters and a few wired connections through powerline adapters. I also have a second VPN router attached to the 4200.I can see the wireless connected devices with the associated IP addresses. If I plug a laptop directly into the Cisco, I can of course see it.However, I can see none of the devices attatched to the powerline devices? I have a securty cam connected via the powerline and want to know the IP address. I checked with cisco technical support via chat and they said it is impossible. I have used 2 previous routers with the same configuration and can see all devices.
View 1 Replies View RelatedCurrently my home network is being switched via TrendNet TEGs80G unmanaged gig switches. I have been using them for about a year now with no issues. As my home network becomes more advanced, I recently just added a Cisco ASA5505, I am thinking about swapping those unmanaged devices, 4 of them, to managed. I was looking at the Cisco SG300-10 for upstairs, and a 16 port variant for my main core. These devices do not support full Cisco IOS cli, but they are manageable with a rich feature set nonetheless. My question is, should I swap the unmanaged devices with the more expensive Cisco devices, or just keep what works and save the money until I really need to spend it. As previously stated, my home LAN works just fine as it is, however my WiFi, NTV550s, server and workstations are all on the same network. Probably not the most secure but it is what it is without VLAN support.

Everything still connects to the internet independently but i can't for instance play music from my wireless laptop to my wired marantz receiver. I had no trouble with this last week and didn't change anything (that I'm aware of) I did get Verizon to switch out my router but it didn't solve anything. My wife's computer also cannot connect to wired devices. Lastly, if I connect my laptop with via ethernet cable it sees wired devices fine. I tried shutting off windows firewall but didn't work. I have no other firewall/virus software installed. I can ping to all devices (wired and wireless) from my laptop.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have recently changed ISP and am now with Sky. I have been having battles with Sky over my speeds - they said I would get between 4.5/9.0MB and I have been getting just 3.6MB. However, even this lower figure has changed over the past three days and I am only getting 1.6MB on the same PC which is based upstairs. I noticed that on my laptop I was getting 3.6MB downstairs and so I took it upstairs next to my PC and then obtained 3.6MB. Is there any reason I should be logging two drastically different speeds from the same location on two separate items of equipment? I started thinking it was the Philips SNU adapter on the PC which may be causing the problem but I have tried a spare adapter(same make & model) and I still get the lower reading.

I get various "connection timed out" and "DNS lookup failed" errors, then after about 10 minutes of frustration everything works again. I know this problem is isolated to just this one PC as I have done Internet speed tests from another computer. I have tried using different wireless cards, resetting the router, changing DNS servers. Nothing has worked.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am with Virgin Media, on their 60Mb service.I never go over their limits, according to them I download and upload very little.However the difficulty comes about when I start using a program called Xsplit to stream video games.After about 5-30 minutes of this, my 60Mb speed gets shot to between 15 and 25Mb, and the 3Mb upload gets shot to 0.4-0.5Mb.
They finally came to me today and after a few tests, said all the figures on their end showed it wasn't their network, but was instead on my end. They figured this out because the numbers from my modem showed it was something like 63000000 and 3000000, meaning my speeds should apparently be normal? (I don't know...). I turned off my wireless (turned the Superhub on to "router" mode), and the internet shot back up to 60Mb. I then after about an hour, requiring to use wifi on my tablet again, turned "router" mode off, so WiFi was available. Bam, my internet went back to 25Mb / 0.5Mb.My specs are as follows:

View 6 Replies View RelatedIve been doing everything I can to try to enhance transfer speeds between my home server and desktop pc. [code]
Just drag and drop copying on my network, a 7gb file started at 20mbps and immediately dropped to ~11mbps where it stays.I took the time to run cat 6, bought a decent router, and (2) intel NICs, I feel like I should be getting much better transfer speeds than this.
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.
View 12 Replies View RelatedAll of a sudden the wifi on my laptop has been really slow lately. I remember before I could stream 720p videos without any buffer on Youtube. Now I'm lucky if I can somewhat stream a 340p without the occasional stutters/buffers. Sometimes I would be getting 39 Mbps or 52 Mbps (if I'm really lucky) , but most of the times I would get either 26-19 Mbps. On all my other devices (iPod, Family Desktop, iPhone) the internet speed seems just fine as they can stream in 720p and browse without any network problems. Also I am upstairs with the router downstairs in the family room.
My results from Speedtest.net - 25 ms, 2.56 Mbps Download Speed, 0.38 Mbps Upload Speed.
This result is VERY UNSTABLE, sometimes I couldn't even get 1 Mbps download speed (more like 0.8). I would also have like 50 ms. I am running Windows 8 Pro with a Realtek RTL8188CE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC on a Toshiba Satellite Laptop.DHCP is enabled. IPv6 is not. I made sure everything was updated using Windows Update. And I'm only using the windows defender firewall which I made wasn't blocking anything by disabling it and seeing if it cleared up any problems - which it did not, the same thing happened.
So I am having some major issues with my download speeds. I have been told that I am supposed to get 10-20mb down and 1mb up, which is fine normally. Yet I haven't been getting anywhere near that lately. I have been getting 30-50kbs for a speed lately on my linux server, and I am not sure how slow on my windows box.I have road runner internet, and I have a Linksys BEFSR41 router, and a ubee modem. I have done a little looking at the event log of the ubee modem and found that I am getting "Started Unicast Maintenance Ranging - No Response received - ..." every 3 -5 minutes. I don't know what that means but it says critical next too it. Something else I have found is that it has been raining for the last 3 day straight, don't know if that make a difference
View 6 Replies View RelatedSometime in the past month my virtual server has been serving slow speeds to a majority of places when I used to get 500KB/s + speeds down and 250KB/s speeds up regularly. My home network is Verizon Fios 15/5 and speedtest.net reports exactly those speeds at any test server I choose.
I've been going back and forth with my virtual server host (1and1) about my virtual server download and upload speeds. I've done a lot of testing to see if there is packet loss with WinMRT and also traceroutes from a couple locations.1and1 has done testing and verified it's NOT their network causing the slow downs as their download tests have returned fast speeds. I've tested at about 8 locations to download this file ( [URL] I can assure you that link is safe, it's just a zip of the .Net 4 redist pacakge) and 6 out of the 7 get speeds ranging from 10kb/s-50kb/s, only 1 out of the 7 gets 400kb/s+ download speeds and that is located in Chicago, 4 are from Los Angeles area and 2 from Denver area and one from Orlando area.
Is it possible to get some users (Preferably West Coast USA) here to download and report the speed it downloads, location they are at, and the internet provider and package they have? If I cannot find the cause of this, I may have to move to a different virtual server provider which takes a lot of configuration for my server because of the nature of it
I had recently switched to Comcast Xfinity Blast internet. I ordered the service with 22 mbps. Now when I download something, it becomes a challenge for the download to get faster than 500kbps. I don't understand, It should be a lot more. If it stays at this rate, than there would be no difference between my current and previous service.

I live in a townhouse in a college campus which means we all have the same ISP. I checked the channels and checked wifi stumbler. They both look good. For the last few days I have been getting really slow internet speeds after 7 pm till 1 am. I am paying for 25 mbps but around that time I get 0.5 mbps. I have the latest firmware for the router. I talked to customer support twice and all they did was reset my router and tell me to power cycle it. It can't be range of the router because my laptop is right next to it.
