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 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".

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.

Linksys Wired Router :: BEFSR81 Keeps Losing Wired Connection To WAP54G?

Apr 11, 2012

I have a WAP54G in my basement shop, wired to our main router upstairs, which is a Linksys BEFSR81.  I'm not sure if this is an issue with the WAP or the router.
 
I only use the laptop computer in the shop every couple of days, but I leave the laptop plugged in and on most of the time.  I used to have the power settings such that it didn't power down completely even after a long time.  With that setup, if i didn't use the computer for several days, it would find that the connection to the router had died.  The wireless link would report that it had a solid connection, but I couldn't connect to anything.  Power cycling the WAP always fixed this.
 
Recently, I decided to save some wear & tear on the laptop drive, and adjusted the power settings to go to standby after a couple of hours.   Now, it seems I can't even go one day without losing my connection.
 
I am running the latest frimware in the WAP, and the router is version 3.1.  I can't check the firmware version on the router at the moment, because the web interface is giving me a blank screen.  I know from past experience that I will have to power cycle it to get it to talk to me again. 
 
In any event, it seems like the router connection to the WAP is timing out.  I set the router "client lease time" up to 10000 a while back when I first had this problem, but that is clearly not doing the trick.

Wireless And Wired Connection

Nov 24, 2012

[code]...

I came here after spending a long time of trying to figure out my problem. The problem is, my router will send a signal strong enough to my room because of the thick walls. I have a wire in my room that I connect to my computer for internet. I also have my xbox and other internet enabled devices that I would like to use. Is there some way I could buy a router for my room that gets the internet from a wire? Could I use my computer as a router?

Wired Connection Will Not Work After Trying To Set Up Wireless

Apr 3, 2011

I tried to set up a wireless router yesterday and when trying to connect with my laptop it had limited or no connectivity. I tried a few things but I couldn't get it to work so i switched back to my wired connection. Trying to set up the wireless router is not my concern though at the moment. Now my desktop can connect to the internet but my laptop and ps3 can not obtain an ip address. My desktop does not have a wireless card, thats the only thing I can think of why it will work when the other devices dont.

Right now I have my cable modem hooked up to a D-Link switch with my desktop and laptop connected. The desktop can connect and I get a limited or no activity with my laptop. I have reset the modem multiple times, restarted computers, Right clicked on my connection and tried to repair it, connect the laptop straight to the modem and did all of the above again. The IP and DNS are set to obtain automatically. Nothing is working that I know of but I can plug in my desktop and its up and going in 2 seconds.

The router was a very old one given to me from a friend. Its a Linksys V1. It is not connect to anything or even on now. The last time I tried to use this router I didn't get it to work and this same thing happened. I took it into work the next day and they were able to connect via wireless and wired using my D-Link switch. When I got home it work again just fine.

Wired Connection Does Not Work But Wireless Does?

Feb 27, 2012

Just 2 days ago I realized that the wired connection will not let me connect to the internet at all. However, I have a wireless connection and it lets me connect to the internet. I don't like using the wireless connection unless necessary. I tried updating the drivers and troubleshooting, and it still won't connect. It still has that exclamation mark for the wired connection. I use a Windows 7 laptop.

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

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]

Routers / Switches :: Wireless And Wired Connection For The Same Set Of PCs?

Feb 1, 2012

I have 3 PCs (win7-64) connected to a wired gigabit network to achieve fast transfer of large files. Separately, at a distance, I have a modem-router to access the Internet. Internet access for the 3 PCs is achieved with each PC connected wireless to the latter modem router. The 2 networks are running OK and PCs can connect each other on both networks. Question: How can I know and achieve that the gigabit network is used for file transfers and not the slower wireless network? How should configure both routers and PCs to achieve this? I don't need the wireless setup to be a network, just to provide wireless access for each PC and that's it. I used to have the gigabit LAN configured with a Dlink DAP1522 bridge that created a single wireless connection between this wired LAn and the modem-router but it stopped working and I'm pretty done with it.

Cannot Establish Connection Between Wired And Wireless Machines

May 7, 2011

Once again the sun sinks into its nightly reprieve; for the third time since I first set out on this mission. Before me, only the piercing glows of monitors that sting my eyes. Yet, I cannot look away. The clacking of keys, once triumphant battle drums of purpose, has grown sharp. They pierce my ears and my mind. It would be madness to continue. My body is weak. My resolve is waning. My sanity ...... tenuous. But if seeing this through means madness.....bring on the madness.

I'm trying to find a way to network my desktop (wired) and my laptop (wifi) so that I can swap files between the two easily. I've mostly been attempting this through Windows Homegroup, although I've also downloaded and installed TeamViewer. The thing is, the two just will not connect. After much poking around I found the specific symptom to be that wired connections and wireless connections refuse to speak. My laptop sees my roomie's laptop easily enough, though. And if I hardline my laptop to the router suddenly their best friends! - joining each others' Homegroup, swapping files, trading recipes!

Points of interest: I've noticed that, while both are enabled, only IPv4 connectivity indicates internet access; IPv6 says No Internet Access. Pings from one machine to the other result in "Request timed out" or "Destination Host Unreachable." I've disabled firewalls - Windows and the one on the router. Disabled and then uninstalled anti-virus. I've updated the router firmware and net adapter drivers I tried restoring router to factory settings, in case I changed something I shouldn't have along the way. I've alternated static and dynamic ip addresses - no difference there. I've just spotted a couple of errors in the Event Viewer that look like they could be leads;(!)ErrorDhcp-Client The IP address lease 192.168.2.2 for the Network Card with network address 0x6CF049E337F0 has been denied by the DHCP server 192.168.2.1 (The DHCP Server sent a DHCPNACK message).

Main house cable internet will come in with modum to a dlink router for both wired and wireless. desktop and a magic jack wired into router wireless for ipad and laptop. then run wire to workshop about 100' from house where a second magic jack and desktop will be set up (small biz out of workshop). I am pretty sure that the range of the router for wireless will reach to workshop fine for ipad but if not I will need to put a wireless up there tooext kids have a laptop running windows 7 but kids being kids and having had problems with self control on net in past I want to be able to make sure that I can turn them off from net when needed because

1. I do not want them running me past the data limits imposed by cable company and
2. keep them from sites such as those which got them in trouble in the past (kids are older and bought laptop for selves and pop will not go along with me confiscating it if they abuse internet privileges

I tried to repair (by right clicking on wireless network icon on the lower-right corner). The first time it seemed trying to do something but nothing worked. The 2nd time when I tried to run repair, the process hang and the machine could not be rebooted or shut off. I have to hold the power key for a few seconds to turn it off.Now, I am at home using another computer to post this message, which indicates my home lan and my router are working fine.

Getting 0x80070035 Error When Using Wired Connection But Not With Wireless

Jan 10, 2012

I have two computers that both have wireless and ethernet cards. When they are btoh wirelessly connected to my router everything works fine. However, the speeds are horrendously slow. So I want to be able to connect the two of them with an ethernet chord.

I set it up so the computer with the better wireless, I'll call it PC2, is sharing its connection and I have the wireless on the other computer, PC1, turned off. I can freely access the internet on both computers with no problem.

This happens on both computers: I goto the Networking page and the other computer shows up. I double click it and I get the 0x80070035 error. Both computers can ping each other, but nether can ping the others host name. So I can ping 192.168.137.1, but not \PC2. No firewalls are running. If I turn the wireless on PC1 back on, it works again, but with the horrible low speed.

D-Link DIR-655 :: Slow Wired Connection - Wireless Ok

Aug 19, 2012

I originally installed my DIR-655 as a wireless access point, not using the wired ports at all, and it worked fine like this. Trouble with my trying to set up my Bell router/modem with port forwarding prompted me to change my configuration so my Bell router /modem is now only a modem, and I am using the DIR-655 as a wired as well as wireless router. I have a separate network server and so don't use the DHCP on the DIR-655, and I only use one port to connect to a separate gigabit switch that serves the network.

I am finding that the wireless connection works really well with the few wireless devices I have connected (mainly an apple tv, and a MAC book) but my wired connections to the internet "feel" slow, sometimes with a significant delay before links to sites are established. I click a link, and wait for several seconds before the site shows up in the browser; sometimes after that the same site seems to respond at normal speeds, other times there are added delays.

Is there something in the DIR-655 settings that would cause this? The wireless connections seem fine.

Should I be looking at a new router/modem (rather than separate boxes)? If so what would be the equivalent D-Link model?

D-Link DIR-300 Very Often Loses Connection On Wired And Wireless Connections

Nov 25, 2011

My D-Link DIR-300 very often loses connection on wired and wireless connections. It stops connecting to Internet randomly i.e. any URL typed in from the browser times out.I connect various devices such as desktop, laptop, ipad2 over wired and wireless connections and the behavior is the same from all devices when this problem occurs. If I make a direct connection to the DLS modem, it works fine for the whole day, without these issues.I also observed IP address conflict messages and my desktop does not connect to Internet if I am running VPN on my laptop, at the same time, occasionally.When this occurs, I am able to login to the router and can see the WAN status and the DHCP address being allocated to the router. I can even do DHCP release and renew, but that does not fix the problem.
