WRT54GS Stuck At 16mbit Speeds
Jul 14, 2011
I just dumped my dsl for cable and when I ran ethernet straight into the modem from my laptop I was pulling 30mbit to speedtests, but when I go wired or wireless through my router, it's capping at around 16mbit. Any decent priced wireless routers that will get me closer to 30mbit? My laptop has 802.11n and I saw someone locally selling a WRT160n but I don't know if that would do it either. Is the cpu speed of the router the limiting factor? The 54gs is 216mhz cpu, depending on the revision the 160n can be 300mhz.

I have two computers in the house both HP desktops, both run Windows XP SP3. The first one is connected to the internet by ethernet cable through a WRT160N router to a cable modem, the other is in another room ( about 20 feet away from the router with only one wall). The wired computer averages around 15-20mbps download speed while the wireless only gets about 7-9mbps. I've checked them both using Speakeasy.net and Speedtest.net the results are always about the same, the wireless has about half the download speed of the wired connection. They both have .95-.98 mbps upload speeds. When my old router (WRT54GS) finally gave up I bought the WRT160N which is an N router, I haven't upgraded the network adapter in the wireless computer to N yet. My question is should I lose this much speed through the wireless connection or do I need to change the settings on the router or the wireless adapter?

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?

I have a 851 that I'm trying to apply CBAC on. However, it seems that new sessions are stuck in SIS_OPENING. I'm guessing maybe because packets are not returned,I can't understand why - everything works just fine up-until I add ip inspect INBOUND out' on the WAN-interface.

Recently during the power failure my PC shut down abruptly since since then it is not connecting to the network. I have a cable broadband internet, I am using Ethernet wired connection, Intel PRO/100 VE. The Ethernet jack is good as I have confirmed using my laptop. The network connection gets stuck in acquiring network address state. I tried restoring the system to earlier date but it fails to restore. I installed new Intel drives, deleted ethernet adapter from device manager, reinstalled TCP/IP but no luck.. I am using XP SP3 on P4 machine,

The Setup On my home network, I am running Windows Server 2003 as domain controller and file server with a SCSi attached disk array.I have several client PC's. 2 running Windows XP service pack 3, 1 laptop running Windows 7 Service pack 1 and a desktop also running Windows 7 Service Pack 1.These are connected by 2 switches - 1 x Netgear gigabit switch, and a Linksys PSUS4 USB Print server at 100mbps.The PC I use the most is the desktop running Win7 and transfer files to the server.After transferring some large files from the clients to the server, I noticed that the speed was considerably slower than what I was expecting it to be. After investigating, and eliminating elements of the network, I discovered that the Server NIC was running at 10mbps. I tried the usual things like forcing the NIC to run at 100mbps Full Duplex but this had no effect. Strangely, if I reboot the server while the desktop is still switched on the connection goes back to 100mbps. However if I reboot the desktop, or even alter the network settings, it immediatley reverts back to 10mbps.

Can't connect to my own Wireless Network? My Gateway Laptop network key is stuck with an old password? It seems to accept new password but never does connect, and when I retry, there's the old password back again, which I don't remember and was for the other modem. Have tried deleting the Realtec Wireless Adapter and reinstalling but the old password still returns? Tried renaming Wireless Network but old password still returns? Tried accessing Registry with no luck. Only way the Laptop can access is to leave Wireless Network Open/Unsecured, but that's not an option.

Creating an image is almost always a success. However, when restoring, sometimes the process gets stuck somewhere (the client reboots prematurely if that happens) and more than often the clients can't boot into Windows anymore.All clients have the exact same hardware.Now I know the image can't be the problem, as I've restored this exact image to a client two days ago and it booted perfectly fine. Everything worked.I tried to image two clients at the same time. The first thing I noticed was that the method used was NFS and not UDPCAST, which it should be. Now I know it wasn't using multicast because the imaging went asynchronous.

I was connected on wifi and all of a sudden I got disconnected and hasn't been able to connect since. This happened Sunday night and it's now Thursday. I got stuck on acquiring network address. I've been using the same wifi connection for about 7 months now and this never happened before.
All the other laptops at home (Mac and XP) could connect except me. I tried to google over my phone but still wasn't able to fix it.

My work wireless network is stuck on identifying. It works for ALL other computers in the office. It works when I am wired to the router. I've tried most things that forums tell me to do. Below is the IP config. It is only this network and one other. Both are provided by verizon if that makes any difference.

For some strange reason my wireless card can only connect to the router if I do not use any security or if I use wep-open. If I try to use a wpa-psk it will not connectIn the past I was able to use wpa with no problem. I am also able to view other wireless routers around me and can see the different securities they use, but if I change my router to wpa then my wireless adapter can and will not notice the change and I can not connect to my wireless router which is same brand

I'm running a Windows XP Dell laptop. A few days ago I completely reformatted the computer because it was just starting to run slow. I reinstalled Windows from the factory CD and downloaded the latest drivers from Dell's website. Now suddenly, after the reformat, my network connection gets stuck on "Acquiring network address." Running ipconfig shows either 0.0.0.0 or a blank space for each field.Other laptops in the house work fine.I did discover that I can get it to say "Connected" if I go into the advanced settings and manually enter an IP address and use the subnet and gateway from my desktop's ipconfig results. The problem is that I can't actually get on the internet. It just says it's "connected."

When trying to connect (wireless or wired), I can't get past the authenticating status. Have used this computer with same router for 3 years. If there was ever a problem, I would unplug/replug the router.I am currently connected through my neighbor's unsecured network.

My Dell was running very slow, so I used the disks that came with the computer to reinstall Windows XP. After doing this, it wasn't detecting our wireless network. I went through on the drivers disk and installed the drivers in order according to Dell's specifications. It still wouldn't work, so I went to the dell website from another computer, and downloaded the drivers that pertained to the network. Now it is recognizing the network, I was able to enter my key, but it won't stop "acquiring network address". When I do the ipconfig /all, it looks like there is no IP address:

I was working as IT Support in an encoding company. I support over 500 desktop users. my problem is about in entire network because i always encounter hang network in my grave yard shift. Our network system set up have domain server, antivirus server, database server, 4 PC's use as backup servers and 3 unit of network attached storage and approximately 500 units of desktop use for production in encoding. I always experiencing network hanging then after all system will be freeze, so i suggest to shutdown all pc for usually in 5mins then turn on again. In an hour the problem is still exist again and again. I did all possible way to make the production smooth run for my whole shift but still after some hours it occurs again. I dont know what would be the possible reason why the network hangs and stuck up. The network attached storage did not reach the entire capacity, the antivirus server is still updated, the domain and database server are working properly even the PC's use as backup server. There is no internet connection we use in production, so i assure that no virus we encounter in all pc. Is it the cabling? or is it the switches?

It all happened pretty suddenly, from 1 day to the other, suddenly i was unable to connect to my home network. I started to troubleshoot, search forums etc. But no luck. I triedand look for the problem myself and found that thenetwork was enabled but it stayed on "identifying network". By clicking buttons from here and there on thecontrol panel i found something like a network recognition or something like that and a yellow little prompt appeared on the top of the explorer saying something like the network idetification was disabled, so i clicked and selected enable but it prompted again, so i just entered to the advanced network recognition center and noticed that on the public and private tabs netowrk recognition was disabled, so i clicked enable on both and saved changes, but the changes dont save, its like if i wasn't on a administrator account (but i had no error messages, it just wont enable).

I can browse web pages and such, but i can't watch any videos or download bigger files. The videos usually play for about 4 seconds and files download about 3 MB before it just loads forever. I go to control panel and look at the network connections, and while the LAN is connected, the internet gateway just says "connecting".

I'm having difficulty connecting my desktop to my wireless network. Some details to start off: I'm using a G-Sky usb wifi adapter model number GS-28usb. I recently moved from an apartment with free wifi and I set up broadband with Qwest/CenturyLink. The modem/router is an Actiontec Q1000. The firmware is up to date (I checked) and every other device I bring into the house can connect just fine (laptop, roommate's desktop and laptop, and my blackberry) I'm running Windows 7 x64 Ultimate on all machines, with all updates currently available. My network shows up in the list of available networks, signal strength fine, but when I try to connect, it does its initial "getting information..." in the small box in the corner of the screen, then the box disappears and no connection is made. The status of my adapter at that point will say "attempting to authenticate" and will remain like that even though (apparently) windows has given up on trying to connect to the network. It never gets to the point where it asks me for the passkey. I've changed just about every variable I can think of that might affect this on the router (encryption type, b/g/n, legacy mode, compatibility mode, etc, i've renamed the network, powercycled the router, etc) all to no avail. I've tried to manually add the network settings under wireless profiles, but even though the information I put in is EXACTLY correct, under available networks its says that my settings don't match those on the network. I've tried different wireless adapters, and none will connect, so I've eliminated a faulty adapter. I can connect to my laptop with an ethernet cable, and bridge the connections so I can use the internet on my desktop, but i cannot connect directly to the router.

I'm having problem with DFM under LMS 3.2. For some reason it periodically loses discovered devices and put all of them into "Learining" state. Sometimes restarting daemon manager useful but now it doesn't. I tried rediscovery few times but it doesn't work at all.
