Wifi Speed Fluctuations From 54mbps To 1mbps
Sep 19, 2012
My laptops wifi speed drops from 54Mbps down to 1Mbps which is often causing me to disconnect from web application etc I am currently using a usb wifi dongle and the speed does not drop from 54Mbps which has made me believe the problem lies with the laptops internal wifi settings, after re installing my internal wifi's driver to a more recent version the problem is still the same, I am using a lenovo t61 laptop and my wirless router is a D-LINK DSL-240R, how to fix my internal wifi so that its speed is a constant 54Mbps as my 2 other laptops and notebooks are all at 54Mbps, because of this I believe this is an isolated problem.

ISP is Comcast. The routers hardware version is A4 with firmware v.1.33NA. The upload speed used to be above 4Mbps but recently it has gone down to below 1Mbps. It comes back to above 4Mbps if the router is bypassed or the PC is directly connected to the modem.If I on/off power cycle the router, the speed comes back but only for short period. I tried a new DIR655 of hardware v.B1 with firmware v.2.00 but exact same problem was noticed. I tried my old spare router of Linksys WRT54G and no such problem was noticed.

Installed brand new CAT6 cable from my office PC (W7) to my HTPC (W7) to stream movies (150 feet) and I cannot get file transfer speeds higher than 1MBps. I get the sames slow speeds whether I use the router or plug the two PCs together.

I currently use a Linksys E3200 and mainly direct connect it to my laptop. My current ISP is with Insightbb to which I use their 20.0 (20 Mbps) service. For the past 6 or 7 months I've had little to no issues with my internet connection until about a week ago. While directly connected to the E3200 I used to get up to about 20/21 Mbps at a constant rate. Yet now I'm lucky to get up to 13/14 Mbps. Also, the speed will sometimes fluctuate; shooting to as low as 8 Mbps and shooting as high as15 Mbps. I can verify that my ISP is not the issue. I've directly connected my laptop to the modem with success and received a healthy speed of up to 23 Mbps with no fluctuations. The problem only occurs once I directly connect to the router. Attempting to connect wirelessly shows the same, if not worse, problems.
I've attempted numerous factory resets and used the 30:30:30 method to no avail. I've tried power cycling the modem, router and laptop. I've tried disconnecting the router for up to 10 minutes. I've upgraded the firmware to the most recent update. I've tried setting a static IP. I've tried imputing the MTU manually. I've tried setting a MAC address clone. I've tried turning on/off UPnP. I've tried release/renewing my IP address. I've tried flushing my DNS. All of which I power cycled the router after each and every attempt.

I currently have a 802.11 G router of 54mbps (its claims its a super G 108 mbps tough). My notebooks have 802.11 N built in. Im thinking of upgrading my router to a 802.11 N 300mbps.However, I know that this may be irrelevant unless I have a internet conection that can achieve such speeds. So how do I test my internet speed to see if G is bottlenecking?

So I use Shaw as my ISP, with the dlink DIR-655 as my router.Originally I was using the DPC3825, and started noticing some nasty signal fluctuations on my phone and wii (would go from 5 bars to 1 bar, causing netflix to drop out, games to disconnect, phone browsing to stop completely, etc) which is why I bought the DIR-655. I have been looking for sources of RF interference.I do not own a microwave, all the electrical work in this house is brand new, I have no neighbors (live in middle of a forest). I have tried positioning, every wifi channel, building an aluminum satellite dish to direct the signal where I want it to go. I've had it in every room in the house, I've unplugged the fridge and all other RF electronics (cordless phones, etc), and the issue remains.
So what the heck is going on here? Does my house hate wifi signals?I was thinking maybe dirty power, but my house has emergency power batteries that run 24/7. Any dropouts or flickers aren't even noticed by the system. url...This is a picture of the path between the router and my roku box/wii/phone.The router is 1 inch below the camera screen, and the roku box is in the far room. it's 30 feet.what can cause severe fluctuations at 30ft?

But my wireless set up does not work. At all. I have a DIR-655 (obviously) linked to a DWA-130. I tried multiple configurations but STILL only get less than 1Mbps download speed.

I just discovered that my wireless download speeds are 5Mbps, compared to 16Mbps if my laptop is connected directly to the modem or wired through the router. Uploads are 2Mbps either way. I have a WRT54GS v.6 with firmware version v1.52.8 which I updated today, completed by setting factory default through the router webpage after I discovered this discrepancy. The firmware update did not improve the download speed appreciably, if at all.Should the wireless connection be that much slower than the wired connection through the router? If not, what sort of issues could I be having to account for this?
I did just replace my modem when I discovered I was having erratic speedtests and that corrected that problem. That is when I became aware of the wireless issue, so not sure how long that has been the case. I have Charter's 16/2 HSI, living in a sparsely populated area with solid internet service. There is no external nor internal interference on this 2.4Ghz band.

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!

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.

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.

My E3200 is having issues with keeping the speed up on wireless G. I'm about 20 feet away from the E3200 and there is 1 6in wall between me and the E3200. My connection will not hold 54Mbps, its constantly dropping to 36Mbps, even down to 5.5Mbps faily often. Around 30 feet away there i will lose internet connection yet my laptop says excellent connection to wireless.

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?

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

Keep in mind my wireless internet has about 200gb of data.

I have tested internet speed on Ethernet (~20 Mbps), but when I'm connected via wifi network, it drops down to ~11 ? The speed is same on all wireless devices even when I sitting next to the wifi router.

In my bedroom I have my modem, wireless router (Netgear WGR614 v9), and my desktop computer which has a large HDD with all my movies, TV shows, and music. In my living room, I have my Xbox and new device I just recently installed, PBO (Patriot Box Office Core Media Player). The media player has ports for USB and ethernet hard drive connections.Basically what I'm looking for is a way to convert the wireless signal in my living room into a physical connection (ethernet cable) which I can plug into my PBO and watch high def (720p+ resolution) videos from my desktop.
I know that a USB wifi adapter would be simpler, but there's one thing I'm trying to determine before I buy: bottlenecking. I crunched the numbers (not quite sure how accurately mind you haha), and here's what I saw - a recent bandwidth test (using my desktop) reported my upload speed around 3000kpbs (375KB/s), whereas the sustained speed of USB 2.0 is reportedly anywhere from 5MB/s to 15MB/s (way higher).

Just upgraded to the 30mb cable modem. When I hook my laptop up via cat5 and run a test I get like 28mbps. Via my router I only get like 11mbps tops. What do I need to do to get more speed via router?

I have an old metal-walled mobile home that I plan on converting to a combination shop and man-cave; it's about 200 feet from my home's computer room, where I have a Netgear WNDR3400 wireless-n router. The only place in the trailer where I can "see" my home network is the kitchen window, and I thought about putting a Wi-Fi repeater there to extend the home network into the trailer. But I have read that using a repeater will cut the network's Wi-Fi throughput in half -- which would not please my wife and daughters back at the house. Is there a simple, relatively inexpensive way to extend the network to the trailer without slowing everything down? Eventually I may have Charter install a separate cable hookup there, which would allow a separate high-speed Internet connection too. For now, I just want to "share" Wi-Fi to the trailer.

I have an old PC in my Buenos Aires apartment, connected to WiFi by means of a receiver module - because the modem is across the room and too far to connect by cable...But I get the message that the device would work more efficiently with a high-speed USB port...If I installed a high-speed card inside the computer, would this improe my Internet speed? It hangs up quite a bit... but then again, it's a Pentium III, so there's that limitation too.

I recently switched from Linksys WRT54G router to MediaLink router. My wired connection speed stayed the same but my wireless speed degraded significantly - roughly from 5-8mbps to 200-300kbps.I measured my wireless speed both on win7 laptop and iPad. My Roku box is also struggling. All devices were in the proximity of the router.I tried changing encryption (WEP/WPA2/no encryption), mode (from b/g/n to b/g to just g), and different channels. Nothing worked, the speed is still very slow.

I've been having this problem with my Belkin router since day 1 when i got it.( not new, got from buddy's place) It's Belkin HI Speed Wifi G router, and what's really frustrating is, everytime i connect to it, I need to manually change the DNS address and switch between 4.2.2.2 & 4.2.2.4 in order to get internet access! Sometimes it even cuts off the internet during a session, without me even disconnecting from the wifi network, where I would again need to switch back and forth to the 2 or 4 ending!

My Sony Vaio laptop is experiencing slow internet speed even though the signal level shows as excellent. This is only when using it upstairs, where it is normally used. In the same room as the router it is fine. This has only just starting happening and it was OK anywhere in the house until a couple of days ago. To make it even more confusing my wife's notebook and my iphone work fine on the network in the bedroom.

I have a Cisco e2500 dual band router.I have a cable modem pulling down 55mps.When I put it through my router I get 22mps wireless and 55mps wired. I want my wireless speed as fast as it can go!I have changed channels, I have gone with just wireless N I have done just Mixed. I contacted customer support and they won't talk to me since I am out of warranty (I just not got internet this fast).One small caveat - when I take the channel selection off auto and change to a preffered channel my one laptop drops connection a lot. We have two laptops and both get the same speed. (No I am not running speed tests with a bunch of other things running etc)

My ISP recently upgraded my line to ADSL2+. I am still only getting 1.36Mbps download speed across WiFi but if I connect my laptop to the router with ethernet cable I get 8.59Mbps. Why is the router slowing down my connection so much?

So I went out and bought a brand new EA4500, because I thought my old router was bad due to horrific wifi Speeds on my Wireless devices like my laptop and Samsung Galaxy S3. Well now I have the same issue with this new router.My speed from comcast straight from the modem is 25mbps down and 5mbps up, on the routers through a wired connection I get the same thing. As soon as a switch over to Wireless my connection goes from 25mpbs/5mpbs to less then 2mbps down. I've reduced the MTU, and I've tried turning off QoS. Nothing seems to work

I recently bought an E4200 and noticed that the wireless speed keeps dropping as it stays connected.As soon as I power it on, my iPhone and notebook connect at 54Mb, but as they remain connected, the speed keeps dropping to 48, 36 and one morning, my phone was oscillating between 5 and 11. The iPhone was almost at the same spot, and the signal was around 85~95%. On my 3 year old DIR-300, the speed don't change at all, and it's in a place where I can see around 15 connections. On the E4200 I can only see 2 other networks.I've already tried switching channels, fixed and auto channel, updating firmware and a few other common configurations. At first, I thought it was my repeater, but I turned it off and it didn't work. Turn my cordless phone off didn't change it also.

OS: Windows 7 Professional
Wireless adapter: Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter
I upgraded my Internet speed with my ISP to 60Mbit/s and I get following download results at speedtest.net:Is there a way to speed up my wireless connection with this router? On the sticker it says 54Mbps, so I would guess it should be possible.
