Internet high speed falls 85% when it is routed via WRT160NL

I have a WRT160NL, and it decreases my internet speed of 3700 Kbps up to 550 Kbps when I walk by it.

My ADSL modem is connected via an ethernet cable to the WRT160NL, then I have an ethernet cable from port the WRT160NL #1 to my desktop. With this connection, I get a download of about 550 kbit/s.

When I route directly from my ADSL modem to my office (bypassing the WRT160NL) my download speed is 3700 Kbps. I checked all the cables and connections. What is the origin down to 85% of the speed?

Thank you

When you face the problem on your wired computer, you change the settings of your router... Once you log in to the router configuration page... The installation program you will find the MTU size that will be set to AUTOMATIC if you need to change it to manual and change the size of 1500 in 1365 and click on save settings... Click on the Security tab and disable "SPI Firewall" and uncheck "Filter anonymous Internet requests" and click on save settings...

Now, you must power cycle your network... Disconnect the power from the router and Modem, wait 30 seconds, then reconnect the power to the Modem, once all the lights are the cover on the Modem, then connect the power supply to the Linksys router...

Now, you can check the speed, the speed you get it on your computer...

If you are still having the same problem then I think that you need to update the firmware on your router... Go to the Web site template linksysbycisco.com/downloads...insert in your serach tab... select the correct version of your router router... Download the firmware file... save this file on the desktop...

Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware of the device: -.
Open a page in Internet Explorer browser on a computer hard wired to the router... In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1... Leave name empty username & password admin lowercase usage...
Click the 'Administration' tab - then click on the 'Upgrade Firmware' under the tab-here, click on 'Browse' and navigate the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait a few seconds until it shows that "the update is successful," after the upgrade of the firmware, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned to the same page OR it will say 'cannot display the Page.

Now reset your router:
Press and hold the button of reset for 30 seconds... Release the reset button... Unplug the power cable from your router, wait 30 seconds and reconnect the power cable... Now re - configure your router...

  • Slow, Internet high speed, if I connect to my desktop via router WRVS4400N PC

    I bought a Cisco WRVS4400N. Which is highly recommended by my friend IT. In my office, I have a local telecommunications fiber-optic connection, which is 100 Mbps download and upload 40Mbps.

    If I connect to the Internet taken directly into the computer, it flyes to 100 Mbps when I test on speedtest.net. When I connect to internet with the Cisco router and therefore farther from router on my desktop, it slows down to 25Mbps. I think there should be some sort of restriction inside the modem configuration. I don't know how to overcome it. Perhaps someone knows how to remove all the distracting security and other setings from inside my Cisco have the full flow of the internet.

    Thanks, Martin

    Martynas salvation. You can go to the Cisco Small Business Support Community to discuss the WRVS4400N as they now manage this device.

  • WiFi unstable and slow Internet high speed

    Hello world:

    Recently, I am facing a problem of unstable wifi, slow speed of the internet of my macbook pro. I hope someone could help me with my problem.


    Symptom:

    Internet mainly speed just unstable using a wifi connection. (no problem with wifi connection self and my wifi suddenly grave would not be)

    Example:

    • FaceTime with my friends and the connection would suddenly abandon or images & audio gets fuzzy.
    • Videos in online streaming and suddenly occurs buffering.
    • Download file of software update iPhone via iTunes, the speed is slow, he needed to take 2 h at the end and later on a window display "cannot download and check your internet connection".
    • Suddenly cannot open websites like site apple.com, google.com. Sometimes it will take more time to open Web sites.

    Hardware and software:

    MacBook Pro mid-2009, OS X EL Capitan 10.11.5

    ISP: Cox, 50Mbps

    Modem & router: Netgear N450

    Test:

    Turn off my wifi and connect my macbook pro with modem & router with cable, internet high speed is stable and fast. Internet speed download speed test result display is of around 60Mbps, download speed is around 8Mbps. And I tried streaming using the connection cable, there was no buffering.

    I already tried the possible Solutions:

    • Restart the Macbook pro and restart Modem & router: will not work. I mean the internet will be very well at first, but later would be unstable again.
    • Reset Wireless Modem & router and change channels: useful, but not completely solve the problem. After you change the wireless channel, I tested my internet speed and the result showing 20-40Mbps (slower than 60mbps) speed download. Sometimes, the result will be like 6-8Mbps and sometimes it will be 60Mbps. If its unstable.
    • Wireless diagnosis: result indicates connection is good.
    • Called my ISP provider: they checked and said all right.


    Other Questions & details:

    • The internet is ok for most of the time. But when all of a sudden I can't open site or I can't download and streaming & FaceTime at normal speed, his frustration.
    • I thought it might be related to my hardware since its an old macbook pro. I can't run Apple hardware test because I don't have the installation disc more and my macbook pro is very old. Is it a third party software that can perform the test hardware on mac?
    • My wifi used to be very stable and I don't have to worry. Just for these last two weeks.

  • Internet high speed decreased after installing Windows 8.1

    Dear guys, I installed Windows 8.1 on my laptop HP Pavilion G6 2241sa.

    Everything is perfect, I downloaded all the drivers, internet works fine BUT I noticed that the speed of my broadband a few minutes down from 80%. My broadband speed is 30meg to bottom/30 megs.

    Download speed is reduced to 2-3megs, but upload speed remains the same...

    My Network (displayed in the Device Manager) card is AR9485 of Qualcom Atheros 802.11b/g/n wifi adapter.

    When I uninstall, Windows automatically detects and installs back. Internet high speed returns to normal, but after a few minutes or maybe 10 12 minutes speed drops back down, until the speed remains unchanged... I removed it 10 times, even tried to reinstall all the ralink drivers for win 8 or Win8.1, but Windows says I have the perfect driver and that it does not install anything else. I removed just in case antivirus, does not work. I checked the speed on the other computer - no problem there, but on my laptop it persists. On Windows 7, I didn't have this problem, it started after Win 8.1.   If you could please help me fix. Thank you very much. Lives

    OK, this is my last post on this topic because I think I solved the problem.

    I thought it was Windows 8.1 to blame, but I finally installed Windows 7. Internet was excellent, but after I installed all the latest drivers of the site Web of AMD (Amd catalyst, video driver, etc.), down speed was limited to 2 to 2.5 Mbps.

    I used the system restore and Internet working again. I decided to check again, and after that I installed again the pile of last softward to Amd, I had problem once again. Prolem is therefore up to the latest version of the AMD software. Do not know exacctly what part, perhaps things like AMD stream or similar. I also believe that this issue includes my modem that does not like to communicate with my computer that has these last things AMD.

    Anyway, thanks for reading. My internet gives me full speed and I am happy with that. I just create a system restore point before updating to new drivers from the site Web of AMD. It's easy to go back. A big thanks to everyone! Lives

  • Comcast Internet high speed

    Woman (who visits the sites of plants with lots of photos) growls a lot about slow Internet

    We have phone Qwest & DSL in Vancouver WA, and speed ONLY we're currently offered is 1.5MBSec... faster than access remotely, but still not so great for photo pages intensive (or these forums I visit!)

    Qwest "says" they're working on upgrades to the network and "someday" we will be offered from 7MBSec up to 20 or more... but not that I talked to Qwest nobody any idea when this will actually happen

    So... without taking into account TV (we have DirecTV) or by phone (I'm not sure that their phone service will work with our fax) I told my wife to call Comcast and see how fast they CLAIM to offer and at what price

    Thinking that Comcast Internet high speed will be the same everywhere... who has Comcast for Internet and how fast they are in practice?

    Comcast speed vary according to the time of day (other users) or their system still offers their 'power '?

    I don't think that saying to stop complaining to make good

    Alas, it never does.

  • Internet high speed only is not what it should be

    I have ThinkPad R60e, with Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet adapter. I guess I've always had a problem with internet high speed, but I did my best to ignore it until now. Any plan the supplier announced, I've always had a tenth only speed, download and send. I used to blame it on them, but now I changed the provider and the problem persists. So I researched what other users with the same plan, and they become quite at announced rates. So I guess there must be something wrong with the settings. Advertising plan up to 2 Mbps download and 200 kbps upload. What I get on practice is maximum of 200 kbps download and on average 20 Kbps upwards. Help, please! It is most annoying.

    I forgot to add, I use Windows XP, the problem for most with Ethernet connection since I use it the most. But wireless seems to act in a similar way.

    How will you measure your network speed.  Any chance that your bandwidth meter reports bytes/sec instead of bps?

    Sorry, I had to ask (Zoltan ducks for cover...)

  • Internet high speed & 1stgen AirportExpress

    Recently I upgraded my internet speed to 150Mbps. using my (model A1264) 1stGen Airport Express, I am only able to get 50Mbps to my office. My iMac is at short range with my router. My internet is slow speed b/c my Express is outdated? A new Express will allow me received the speeds I have upgraded to or is a desperate need? On the 2nd floor, there is an another desktop or home that connects to the internet regularly (teenage son online games).

    The 1 st Gen AirPort Express and 2nd Gen AirPort Express have only 100 Mbit/s Ethernet ports, so in theory, it would be the top speed that the Express could never offer.

    To the extent where wireless is concerned, 50 - 60 Mbps would be what to expect from an AirPort Express which is provided a 100 Mbps connection, since he has never been known for its performance wireless... primarily because of a small simple antennas buried in the product.

    A new AirPort Extreme has 1 000 Mbps Ethernet ports and the much higher speed wireless capability... (six wireless antennas all located towards the top at the top of the "tower")... which would be the product to try if you want to stay with a router from Apple.  At Apple, and you buy a 14 day no questions asked return guarantees, so if the product does not wait, it may be returned for credit or refund.

  • WRT310N - internet high speed slowdowns that rebooted

    I picked up the WRT310N this last week and have experienced a very strange problem.  I noticed it when calling Comcast on slow speeds.  No problem service in my area, we crossed the restart cable Modem, router and my PC.  Everything was as quick as ever thereafter.  30 + Mbps versus 1 Mbit before any restart today.

    Today, I'm going to watch a video on YouTube, and it is choppy as hell.  I restarted the router via the config page and I went at a speed of 3 Mbps at 30 + Mbit again.

    He has more than 24 hours since I finally rebooted the router and it disappeared and has reduced my speed to a fraction of its potential.  How can I solve it without return and buy another brand?  It's a WRT310N v2 with the latest firmware.  I did a reset of all options before you configure it for my house.  I am confused... should I have all the options to solve the problem?

    In case it is necessary, here are the devices that connect to the router:

    Everything is wired unless otherwise stated.

    My desktop computer

    Office wife

    Portable professional

    Unwanted laptop (wireless - G)

    TiVo Series 2 (wireless - G)

    I know it's a lot, but my old WRT54G v8 was able to handle it.  The modem is a Motorola SB6120 (DOCSIS 3.0).

    I got this router and this is a widespread problem. The sad reality is that this router is INCREDIBLY fast yet also completely been little reliable. Do yourself a favor and bring her back.

  • Internet high speed slows down significantly when wifi turned on on my Mac.

  • EA3500NP Internet high speed

    I just upgraded to fibernet 60Mbps 3-4 Mbps Broadband internet speed.  I could see 60Mpbs whne speed connect my laptop Dell windows 8.1 to direct internet.  When you use wirelss speed is approximately 20Mbps only... what needs to be changed in the settings?

    Check if the prioritization of media is enabled and if this is the case; that downstream bandwidth is set to 60mbps.

    Also keep in mind that:

    1. 2.4 Ghz is slow and long range
    2. 5 GHz is faster and short-range
    3. Width of the channel must be set to Auto
    4. To get above 54 Mbps Wireless you need to run the Protocol "N".
    5. I generally keep the 5 GHz, the value N only so newest capable device can enjoy speeds.

    For the faster wireless, you will need to buy a new router to HQ.

  • EA6700 Cup internet high speed two

    Hello

    I just sign up for Time Warner internet Turbo, which promises speeds of up to 20MBPS down and 2 Mbps upward.  I use a Motorola SB6141 modem and a Linksys EA6700 router.

    When I test the speed using Speednet or Speakeasy speed test clean of TW, my downloads are constantly between 15-16 Mbit/s so that the rock download at speeds between 5-6 Mbps.  So although the download speeds are not advertised, my download speeds half are announced.

    I removed the router from the system and directly connected to the modem and tested again several times. the upload speed has remained in the range of 5-6 Mbps, while the download speed went to 33-34MBPS constantly.

    So it's the router.

    I reconnected the router and tried different configurations, the most fundamental of which was connecting to fixed my computer to a single port on the back of the router without other connections and wireless off.  By download speeds back to the range of 15-16 Mbit/s.

    I also replaced the Cat5 cable between the modem and the router.  No change.

    Any ideas?

    Was when you did the test directly connected to the Modem via Ethernet? If it was have you done the same test connected via Ethernet to the router?

    If your tests for both were made via Ethernet then my tests with Linksys hardware is probably this QOS\Prioritization or the Parental control is activated.

    For wireless WMM support must be enabled.

    I recommend disabling SimpleTap.

    Hello Paul,

    See the Microsoft article and look at step 6: "Change your wireless channel"
    You will need to connect to your router and change the wireless channel that it operates on.
    There may be interference affecting your computer, but not your wife.
    If you need assistance to change the settings of the router, you will need to contact your router manufacturer or your internet service provider.
  • RVS4000 & WRVS4400N Limited Internet high speed

    Two of these model units apear to be Internet max downlink speed of about 26 or 27Mbs. I tested with 10 different units in 3 different sites where the descending speed broadband provided is a complete 50Mbs, including in my own office. My normal router is a Cisco ASA5505 and I also connected a router Cisco 1840 and even an old Linksys router and all reach full 50MBs speed using a variety of speed test sites. The modem cable to my office and other sites have a gigabit LAN connection and RVS4000/WRVS4400N units must certainly be able to reach the speed of 50Mbs. I would be recognizing a Cisco rep, you meet this. If this problem cannot be resolved, my clients may want to move the unit to a different constructor, what I'll do.

    The IPS slow internet connection is not a bug. When you perform a speed test, speed test attaches invalid packets to generate traffic, which will report as a security issue as possible. When you perform a speedtest your computer downloads a binary file, and then use 4 wire http to saturate your connection. Speed samples are processed up to 30 times per second, then the speedtest on average in those together.

    With so much aggregated traffic, IPS does not know what do with it, out of what it is supposed to - watch traffic for anything malicious. This is also true for downloads, your normal web browsing don't usually have a noticeable effect. But a large download will be as all packages are inspected incoming and outgoing.
