About speed BEFSR41 ver. 2

Hi all

My ISP (Cox) has improved my 12.5Mbps/2.5Mbps service and I noticed recently I get only 6-7Mbps / 1.5 Mbps, max.

When I bypass my BEFSR41 and go directly from my modem cable in my main computer, I can get up to 18Mbps, constantly. I have not found a tweak of configuration in the router so that it can come close to that speed when using it. Also tried different cables, unplugging everything except the main system, etc.

I read here and there that (some?) Older BEFSR41s (like my ver. 2) is not much higher than 5 Mbps or more because of the limitations of the technology when they were built. Mine is probably 6-7 years and it seems to fit the behavior I see.

Is there a solution to upgrade firmware for this, or what I have to buy just a newer model?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

V4.0 and has the interface WAN 10/100 Mbit / s. personally, I have version 4.0 of this router. I also have the internet Charter cable. I am on the plan of 16 MB / 2 MB. I have full power using the router. I have also a Linksys CM100 cable modem bought not for long. You guys just need to update your routers because they are really old and Linksys has updated to newer versions.

  • BEFSR41 Ver 3 connection to the modem Motorola 2210 problem

    I have a simple (I hope) home office network configuration.  I have a router Linksys BEFSR41 Ver 3, a Vonage phone device, a couple of computers and printers all hooked into the router.  The problem appeared when my old modem is dead.  I replaced the old modem with the Motorola 2210 (from AT & T) and configure the modem, so now the internet works if I plug the line directly into my computer.  When I try to run it through the Linksys router, the signal comes through.  I've turned off and rebooted twice and the second time I did it in a particular order, but still no signal through the router.

    I see that the IP address of the router is 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.254 is the modem.  It seems that something needs to be reset somewhere, but since I'm no computer, I don't know what to reset where...  I read the other posts and they speak to reset a PPPoE on the BEF, but where do you do that?  And is there something different about my router 3 worm?    Any help is appreciated... I'm pretty frustrated and miss me phone calls from my device Vonage is not connected...

    Thank you very much in advance...

    You the problem is that you try to use the same subnet 192.168.1.x into the WAN (Internet) port and the LAN of your BEFSR41 ports.  You can't do that.

    Your modem is apparently made your PPPoE connection for you.  So you should NOT repeat this PPPoE connection in the BEFSR41.

    Setting network, follow these steps:

    (1) put your entire network.

    (2) disconnect all other devices BEFSR41.

    (3) connect your computer to one of the four ports LAN on the BEFSR41.

    (4) turn on the BEFSR41 and your computer.

    (5) point your browser to 192.168.1.1 and connect to your BEFSR41.

    (6) change the "Internet Connection Type" to «DHCP - auto»

    (7) change "local IP address" 192.168.2.1

    8) click the 'Save Settings' button, and then wait the screen refresh (3-60 seconds).  You will be disconnected from the BEFSR41.  Don't worry about this.

    (9) turn off the BEFSR41 and your computer.

    (10) wire the ethernet port of your modem to the Internet (WAN) on the BEFSR41 port.  Leave your computer connected to the BEFSR41.

    (11) power of your network.  It should work.

    BEFSR41 using you now on its LAN ports 192.168.2.x subnet.  You can now connect to the BEFSR41 facility to 192.168.2.1

  • BEFSR41 ver 2 (three on the beautiful work of Ports)

    A worm BEFSR41 2.

    Background: had the router for years.  Served 3 pcs (2 OS from windows and 1 mac OS), and a PS2, faithfully for 5-7 years.  A true friend of the family. No problems until recently. Remained current on all updates, have no problems.

    Recent issue: one of the windows PC (master unit ensuring the router connect to the page) recently acquired disgust/disabilities, sending attachments in outgoing emails.  It wasn't a problem for many years.  Only recently.  This same pc had increasing problems of loading web pages.  Note the other PC, mac and ps2 had NO problems during this period.

    I double checked the firmware and it crosses a dozen times or more with Windows updates monthly Malware Removal and RemoveIT PRO and AVG, Avira and SpybotS & D and BlackIce Hijack this, Vundo Rootkits, AirDusters and the works. Check that any security downloads with an MD5 checksum utility. Infrared analytical lighting memory running in a steralized room.  Got my lawyer and my tax accountant involved in case there was something had to be done to this end. A homeland security on alert 5000mAh.

    Everything was up to date. Has begun to suspect that it was an old windows update, which was causing the problem. Tinkered a little.

    After several months of trying to solve the problem, decided to install the window on this pc the scrap and start over.  At that animate the pc turned off and in a sterile room for cleaning, removed the BONES and the defragmentated.  Hit in the back and made the installation.  Put just the major updates on the operating system to make the XP up to SP2.  Put online and fear once again, the thing was still slow and haunted by slow down navigation while the other PC on the router where you have NO problem (but it made me wonder why the other computers and ps2 did not have a problem).

    Then had the idea to change the port of the router. Swapped the port from a pc having problems and gave to this port to a pc not having NOT the question.  Was given the pc having issues, the port of a pc, that was NOT the question before.  And violo.  The pc with the problem is now resolved, while the pc having is not the question before, is now seen the question.

    My question is (and I guess it is answered already but I like confirmation):

    When a router goes wrong, he's going poorly a port at a time, or all at the same time?  2nd question: is it possible that a bug in the matrix has set itself at this port and set up a trap to trap all things out of this port, and will get an invitation soon to follow rabbits or tattoo-girls or rather hot babes looking with a cropped bangs and too much red lipstick?

    Alternative 3 question: If a matrix like bug has himself affixed to this port and set up a trap to capture all things out of this port, can I set up a trap hand to trap the trap, or otherwise get rid of it?

    Thanks in advance for any response.

    It is follow-up:

    We ended up having to replace the router.  We used the other ports for three or four weeks, then a second port went bad and a third party. We have replaced sometime in December of the same year, went to version 4.3 of the same number of model above.  Works fine again.  All ports.

    Anyone, know why, the prior model (ver 2) went bad as he did?  I noticed with the new unit, the MAC address is outside of the box, with the bar coding. I think that, for security reasons, this information should be on the unit itself and not on the outside of the box, at the time of departure.

    Hello

    Win7 Pro 64 bit 8Meg Ram
    Driver Realtek rtl8188ce 19 wifi / 420/1005-2011-20/04/2011

    My setup is a router linksys wrt54gs + wre54g amplifier and the toshiba uses wifi, through the amplifier when I start the tosh every day, the connection is always big 5 bars, but speed is always moving between 18 to 36.

    The amplifier is 3 feet distance and in line of sight. If I push the disconnect and re connect speed to 54 and rest until I have shut the tosh at night.

    I got a sony vaio before and not issue however the wifi card was only the b - g card.

    Is it a no number or you think has something to do with the ariel is a reason for updating the driver in the latest version on the website of Realtek 28/1005-1006-2011?

    If you think an update is guaranteed can you confirm it is correct for my tosh and it says auto install, what I have to do something to install or

    can you suggest anything else.

    It seems as if the tosh cannot see the amplifier and when I do a disconnection and reconnection, he can see the amplifier.

    Thanks for any help

    > Is it a no number or you think has something to do with the ariel is a reason for updating the driver in the latest version on the website of Realtek 28/1005-1006-2011?

    I recommend you update the WLan driver if new version is available.
    It is possible that the compatibility between different routers and modems would improve with new version

    However, I also recommend to check the power of Win 7 options and disable WLan Card to save energy.
    This power save can save the battery, but affect the WLan functionality.

  • firmware is damaged on befsr41 ver 4.3

    Tried to upgrade the BEFSR41 firmware and it did not. Now I can not access the router at all. Fttp.exe I tried without success. It says "cannot find server". My router is a paper weight now?  Windows 7 64-bit. How can I fix the firmware if I can't access the router? The power light blinks all the time.  Thank you, seperic

    The router power light blinks, it seems that the router is brick. Try this link to unbrick the router and check if that helps.

  • question about speed

    I'm afraid that using creative cloud that the speed at the level of the office will be limited by internet bandwidth.  If the applications were not on your desktop computer, which would increase speed enormously.  How does this work?

    It is one of the biggest misconceptions of cloud Adobe.

    Download Cloud applications, install and run on your local desktop. Their speed depends on your hardware, not on the speed of your internet bandwidth.

    The part of the cloud of the plan is licensing. When you install the software (locally), activation is performed via the internet. Takes a few seconds.

    After that, the software performs a check of the license at least every 99 days (or more frequently if it detects an internet connection) to confirm that your monthly payments are up to date.

    License checking is the only part that needs internet. The software itself runs on your local computer. Not required unless you use the internet cloud storage option.

  • Slow speeds of WIRED with N750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router

    This question is about speed WIRED versus wireless speeds.

    This router is used in a situation of Home Office. This office at home connection cable Internet is 500 MB. When one of our computers connects directly to the cable modem we always get 500 MB download speeds. Yet when we connect to this router, these speeds fall into two (on average).

    Often, indeed, speeds will drop equal to or less than 100 MB. Yet whenever we unplug the router and plug directly into the cable modem we return up to 500 MB.

    Suggestions?

    Unfortunately, the LAN ports cannot be fixed by firmware.

    Therefore, it is time to get a new router.

  • BEFSR41 IPv6

    I recently read that there will be that a test 24 hours will take place June 8, 2011 IPv6 by Facebook, Yahoo!, Google, Akamai, etc.. I also read that IPv4 has virtually disappeared.  In this context, is a matter of time before the switch to IPv6 becomes permanent.

    I'm worried about agglomerates BEFSR41 v4.3 firmware version 2.00.4 will support IPv6 or if I have to buy a new router.  If I have to buy a new router should I buy then I lose more money?

    Then call the Linksys support. They know that their plans. Maybe they will add it to your model. Maybe not and it is supported only on newer models.

    Once again: until the moment where you HAVE to use IPv6 on your computers to get a working internet connection that's still a lot of time to go.

    I don't know what OS you use, but WIndows, Mac and Linux all support IPv6 tunnel. In fact, Windows is configured for automatically tunneling through a Microsoft server. If you are using IPv6 on a Windows computer now and it is not directly connected to an IPv6 network, through Microsoft...

  • How to connect the worm 4.3 BEFSR41 router to a modem that is always on

    Hi I have a westell modem ATT DSL, it is a new modem, I had one that force me to use PPPoe on my BEFSR41 ver 4.3 router Linksys, I wonder how I have now reconfigure the. He didn't need me use PPPoe because she is always on when it is connected directly to my PC I have 4 video game systems that use static IP that are transmitted through my router and 3 PC windows port & printer using other my network products are by linksys NAS200, BEFSR41, WAP54G and 2 group network 5 & 8-port switches , I lost my CD of AP wireless how do I do that I reconfigure without the CD. Please answer as soon as possible

    That you no longer use the PPPoE settings on the router... On the Configuration tab, select "Obtain an IP automatically" under Internet Connection Type and click on save settings... Now, click the status tab and check the IP address. If the IP 192.168.1.x is then, click the Configuration tab and change address router ip 192.168.2.1 and click on save settings. Now, power cycle the entire network and check your internet connection to computers connected to the router.

    Now for the other devices like WAP54G or computers (for which you have opened the ports on the router), you must assign the static IP address in the range of IP (i.e. 192.168.2.x) of the router.

  • TouchSmart 610-1130 uk: Broadcom WLAN adapter limit speed broadband

    Broadband providers having changed my download promised 150 Gbps speed could be achieved. The tech' staff of the firmware again connected to my computer and carried out tests of speed and he said that incoming speeds were correct, and that my Wireless Network Connection; WIFI Broadcom adapter is binding for higher speeds. I watched the Broadcom adapter link and he showed at speeds varying between 55mpbs at peak times, to 120 Mbps at other times. My provider said I need a minimum of1gpbs to achieve this.

    Someone know if an update of this kind is possible to get more speed, or am I stuck with what I have.

    I have a HPTouchsmart 610-1100 uk, which works on Windows 7. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Beamerbaz5, something is not here. Your internet service provider lied to you about speed or you misunderstood the speed promised to you. First off let me explain that 150gbps (gigabit per second) is equal to 18.75GBps (gigabytes per second) and you're probably more used to see things in bytes, example an mp3 song can be 3-6MBs (megabytes) and a dvd contains about 4.7GBs. Internet providers and for us to say our Internet speeds in pieces rather than in bytes to confuse us on how fast our speeds are really. If you receive truly 18.75GBps speeds you would be able to download DVDs 4-5 size films in one second, which is unfortunately IMPOSSIBLE, unless your running some supercomputer of type of cutting-edge research that you would need this kind of power and speed to save 18GBs value of data per second. (A typical hard drive can record data about 100 Mbit/s and the new strong States can do around 300-500MBps, but definitely not 18GBps or 18, 000MBps)

    I pay about $ 80 per month for Verizon Fios and get 75mbps (9.37MBps) of the speeds, which is one of their flabby superiors of service without spending hundreds a month on internet only. Wireless network connections can fluctuate depending on the location and other factors, which is why you noticed 55mbps and 120mbps, but both should be thin enough. I wonder what your internet provider because there are VERY few companies that offer speeds of even 1 Gbit/s, but NONE I know offer 150gbps. It is possible that you get 150mbps which would be 18.75MBps in this case, Yes, your wireless Internet connection is not enough and you need to use an ethernet network cable to get the speeds promised by your network provider. So yes I call your internet provider and ask them to clarify how fast your actually paying for.

    I hope that helped!

  • Limiting the flow and speed of export

    I have a small question about speed rate and export data. I am using first Pro CC 2015. If I limit the data rate at all during export (for example 100 Mbit/s), making export more slowly or more quickly than if I were to leave "to limit the data rate" unchecked? Let's say that I am not concerned by the size of the final output, I want just the best quality with a quick export.

    Second question - same idea. Let's say that I am now concerned with the size, but not the quality. So I take a huge project and limit the data rate to get a file e-mailable size about 21MO. It cause the export to be slower, because it compresses all this info in 21MB or it will be faster because I work with a lot less debit?

    Any advice on this subject would be greatly appreciated
