Wireless Faster Than Wired Connection?

Jun 19, 2011

why my wireless connection on my laptop is significantly better than my wired connection to my desktop. Internet ran just fine on the desktop at my old apartment; got to the new place, and now it's having serious issues.

After working on this problem for a while, I have come to the conclusion that for some reason, I am getting serious packet loss, consistently, at a particular "hop" on my desktop, which is not present on the laptop.Here are the Line Quality tests that illustrate the problem better than I could ever describe it in words:

Laptop: Line quality test packet loss and latency | DSLReports.com, ISP Information

Desktop: Line quality test packet loss and latency | DSLReports.com, ISP Information(and it appears they both fail the initial test, but the laptop connection runs just fine).

So at that one specific hop (ae-1-0.cr0.chi10.tbone.rr.com, I have no idea what that means), my desktop connection suffers serious packet loss while the laptop is more or less OK.This discrepancy is evident in the quality of connection on my desktop, while the laptop runs just fine. Here, in summary, is what I have tried:

-Going wired through laptop using same cables, ports, and router as desktop: laptop performs flawlessly.

-Updating router firmware, NIC card drivers, and Windows on the desktop

-Full virus disk scan and boot scan using Avast; full malware scan using Malwarebytes; Windows disk defrag

-Disabling QoS packet scheduler

-Performing netsh /flushdns; winsock reset; ipconfig release, renew

-(Temporarily) disabling Antivirus program

All of these actions together have made the desktop connection USABLE... however it is by no means an acceptable level of quality for a cable connection, and not nearly as good as any other in the apartment gets using the same connection, whether wired or wireless.The only visible difference I can find between the laptop and the desktop is the packet loss that is present at that one hop in particular, which is extremely debilitating for the desktop's connection.

Further info:

Desktop specs:
Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller NIC (onboard on the mobo)
Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 SP3
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400, 3GHz
2 GB Ram
Plenty of Disk space

Router:
Belkin F5D9230-4 Wireless G Plus MIMO Router

Here is the previous thread that details my troubleshooting efforts thus far; as the question has now become something entirely different, I thought it more appropriate to make a new thread.

Sb6120 Modem - Wired Is Always Going To Be Faster Than Wireless

Jan 6, 2012

Just got cable and new hardware and been running bandwidth tests. I know wired is always going to be faster than wireless but was wondering if there were things I can do to see where the bottleneck is.

I have cable internet with a sb6120 modem and the asus rt-n56u router. When I go wired, I get 40+mbs down and when I go wireless I'm getting approx 20mbs down. Dont get me wrong, this is more than adequate but was wondering why the huge difference. I'm not anywhere close to the theoretical max.

The rt-n56u is on firmware 1.0.1.7f which is current. My desktop uses the WMP600n and my laptop has the Intel 5100 AGN built into it - both have updated firmwares.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Wrt54gl Much Faster On Wired Then On Wifi

Sep 29, 2012

am having speed issues on the wireless side of my WRT54GL v1.1 router.When I hook up a laptop to the wired port, am getting roughly 5.4mps down when wired, but only 1.2mpbs down on wireless. I am tried doing a factory restore. I have made sure that no QoS is in place. I have tried multiple devices to make sure it is not something on the device side causing this problem, but all the devices perform just as poorly on wireless but as well on wired.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E1200 Faster Wifi Than Wired?

Jan 11, 2012

I just got an E1200 router and connected wired to my win 7 machine, Im clocking in the single digit ranges (~8 mbs) download but on my dusty old win xp laptop wireless, Im getting 20 mbs (max speed from isp 20 mbs). Wife's Mac laptop wireless, same speed. What is going on? I updated the firmware, tried altering some settings based on other entries here suggested (WPA-personal, channel to "6") but no effect.

Linksys Wired Router :: E4200 Has Faster Upload Speeds Than Download?

Mar 24, 2013

I just upgrade my service with Comcast so I can now get up to 50Mbps, however the modem when directly connected to the PC can obtain these speeds, it does not when the PC is connected to the E4200 router. In fact the Cisco Connect speed test shows the upload speeds (10+ Mbps) to be faster than the download speed(4.82 Mbps). I upgraded the firmware to the latest level but it did not make a difference.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT120N N Configuration Is Much Faster Than Old G

Jan 11, 2010

I just bought a new WRT120N Router. It worked perfectly wired and wireless.But my old laptop burned, and the new one came with a Atheros  AR5B93 Wireless Network Adapter, which is Draft-N compatible.The laptop connects to the router fine, but using only the G type. When I set the router to use only 802.11n, i get a message from Windows, like:  "Windows was unable to connect to the network."because the N configuration is much faster than the old G.

Cisco Wireless :: 1041 Or 1141 Won't Go Faster Than 39Mbps

May 21, 2013

I have two access points that I recently purchased from ebay.  I updated them both to c1140-k9w7-mx.152-2.JB and I have been unsuccessful at getting either of them to connect at faster than 39MBps.  After scouring google for answers I found several with the issue of not using the correct WPA2/AES configuration and that was me.  However after changing the configuration, I am still unable to connect to either of the APs at faster than the 39Mbps. [code]

Linksys Wireless Adapters :: E2000 Is Connected At 5.0 / Should Have A Faster Connection

Dec 9, 2011

I have the AE1000 adaptor on my wife's computer and direct wired on mine is the E2000.The e2000 is set to 2.4mhz and when connected to the wireless network, my wifes ae1000 shows it is connected at 144mbps.When I change the e2000 to 5.0 mhz and then my wife connects to the internet, she shows the ae1000 at 16-53 mbps.  When I switch back to 2.4 she shows 144.  I thought that when the e2000 is connected at 5.0 she should have a "faster connection".

Netgear WNR3500L Wireless Router / Wireless G Delivers Faster Broadband Than Wireless N?

Oct 29, 2012

I have a Netgear WNR3500L wireless router. I assume it's v1 because on the back it doesn't have "v" anything. Firmware version V1.2.2.44_35.0.53NA.When I connect using g I get 22+Mbps download speed. When I connect using n I get 10 Mbps. I've tried using both WPA2 only (laptop reports 130 Mbps connection I believe) as well as the combo WPA+WPA2 (laptop reports connection of 117 Mbps).Broadband download results don't change - they stay at the 10 Mbps level. I've fiddled with some of the settings on my laptop's wireless card - but the results are the same.For now I'm just trying to figure out where I should focus my investigation and fiddling efforts - on the laptop or on the router.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Reason For 2700 Faster If The 3500 Is More Expensive?

May 31, 2012

Why is the 2700 faster if the 3500 is more expensive ? 2. will cisco put out a firmware that allows me to block more then 100 urls and keywords cuz as it is now i find that limiting it to only 8 urls makes the new linksys routers useless and NO i wont use opendns they are slow and charge you to remove the ads thats why i use the keyword blockin to block popups and ads 3.will a firmware upgrade make the 3500 faster then the 2700 later on ?

My ethernet adapter is intregated into my mobo, which is a ASUS P5K motherboard, with 10/100/1000mbps ethernet.

I am wondering what I can do to get a better ping?

The best ping I have ever had (on an idle system) is 25ms.

is there anything I can do to get a better ping?

(also, I live within 100km of large city centers. I do not live out in the middle of nowhere)

D-Link DIR-655 :: Why Is N Not Faster

Nov 3, 2012

So I had an iphone 4 and switched my signal to B and G only to get better service since my iPhone 4 only had G so not worth having N.Speedtest.net is about 5.69mbps download.I got a new iphone 5 and switch to G and N mixed thinking I'd get better speeds.When I switched speeds stayed about the same.

I do want a mixed signal if possible for PS3, other iphone 4, and laptops that don't have N wireless.Is that to be expected? or is something else going on that I'm missing?I'm running Firmware Version: 1.35NA and Hardware Version: A4

Why Is Wifi Faster Than Ethernet

Apr 18, 2011

I live in an apartment complex with a few other roommates. We each have an ethernet cable jack in our rooms, and we also have a wireless router located in one of my roommates' rooms that we all use for WIFI. when connected to only WIFI, my interenet connection is faster than using an ethernet cable? Our WIFI network displays a speed of 65Mbps, while the ethernet network shows a 10Mbps.

Wifi Not Support Faster Speeds

Dec 29, 2011

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.

All Wifi Devices Are Slow / Lan Is A Little Faster?

Apr 3, 2011

In University, the Wifi on my iPod is exceptionally fast. At home, I can't even load a Youtube video (music, no video) without having to give it about 20 minutes to let it buffer half way through, and the same thing on my Android phone. My Laptop is also on the network, but it is no where near as slow. I noticed the internet isn't as slow as Youtube is, so I guess it is just mainly streaming media that is slow. I have the D-Link DIR-185. I don't want to reset it, as it took me ages to get my printer set up on the network but if there are no solutions I might have to. As I am typing, the video has buffered 1/2 of the way there. I type 110WPM, so give it two minutes.

New Router / Modem Want Faster Speeds

Aug 18, 2012

My current home set-up is two desktops on Xfinity internet, using a MOTOROLA SB5120 modem pared with a WRT160N V3 router.I was told that my router was bottlenecking my download speeds. It is quite annoying when we can't download anything because it will slow any gameplay going on, we have to do one thing a time. Even Youtube videos will slow us down.[code] would I benefit from getting a new modem or router.

D-Link DIR-655 :: Router Faster In True N Than In G+N?

Jan 1, 2013

I just read online that in order to get real life high speed from your N router you need to set it to only N, or not have any other G devices connected. If not it wil fall back on the G speed.Here the text:" Wireless N claims "real world" speeds of 130-160Mbps, with a listed maximum of 300Mbps. This is reliant on the router transmitting in full 802.11n mode, which is impossible when an 802.11g device is also connected to the network."And if so. What is real life expected speed on the dir 655 on a wireless 300 card excelent connection either with pure N and then with combined N/G?

Cisco :: Faster Dial-peer Time-out?

Feb 14, 2013

I have another odd issue (I get those alot) I have an asterisk box that moves around between 2 IPs, thus the dial-peers are unpredictable as to their target IP. They work as the dial-peer will eventually (after 1 min) time out and go to the other dial peer, but waiting 1 min sucks, and it's a tiny network, 5-10 sec would be WAY more than enouph. Does anyone know off hand a way to get them to time out faster?

Why Windows 7 Wifi File Transfers Faster Than In Xp

Nov 30, 2012

I have a couple of pc's between which I transfer video files using Wifi, one is a laptop running XP and the other is a media centre which *was* running Windows 7. The laptop is connected to an N router using an ethernet cable to increase speed and because they are located next to each other, and the media center which is on another floor of the house uses a Wifi connection to the router.

The file transfers between the pc's used to run at about 70Mbits/sec which I was happy with. However due to problems with the media centre, I recently downgraded that pc to XP since I get much smoother HD video playback from XP MCE. But... since these changes the transfer speed has now halved to about 35 Mbits! Remember all the pc and network hardware is the same, the only change is to the operating system on the media centre pc.

At first I though maybe the different XP drivers for the network card on the media centre might be rubbish, so I changed the network card altogether, but the speed has remained the same. I have also stripped the networking configurations down to the minimum to reduce overheads, so have removed QOS and unnecessary file and print sharing etc. But none of this has worked. Am I missing something in the XP network configuration that might correct this problem, or is it simply the case that Windows 7 Wifi is just that much improved and faster than XP?

Will Linking 3 Computers Through Switch On Network Be Faster

Feb 22, 2013

In one area, we have a server, and two computers that use that server extensively. Right now all the computers are on wi-fi.I know if I ran the computers through a switch they could share data more quickly. The problem I have is there is no way to get a cat connection to this area.If I got a range extender with switching ports built-in would it still speed this data up? Or would it be irrelevant because it still has to travel via wi-fi to the router and back?

D-Link DIR-655 :: Internet Connection Faster But Now Less Stable?

Sep 17, 2011

About two weeks ago, my internet connection became faster. I am not sure if it has to do with my cable ISP doing something or something I did with my computer.

Right around the same time, my connection began disconnecting every two or three days.  Before this, I had a rock solid connection for two years. 

It will usually reconnect after a minute. Otherwise, when I boot my computer, the problem is solved. 

I am certain there is a correlation between the connection speed going up and my connection becoming less stable.

Double Router Forwarding - To Make The Internet Faster

Sep 30, 2011

I'm currently switching from a certain internet provider to another and I'm forced to get another router. What I wanted to do is since the initial router has to be on the first floor, I'd like to have the second one on the top floor closer to my computer whereas they would share a dedicated connection between each other wirelessly so it would make my connection faster rather than just having my pc connect directly wirelessly to the initial router on the first floor. Is that possible?
