Router slows Internet (WRT54G2)

What I did:

I have a Linksys WRT54G2 v1.5. I've updated the latest firmware available. I am currently running just DHCP, but I won't be set up an address static IP as soon as I think is the problem. I got a cable technician, and it replaces any defective coax ends and cables and performed maintenance on our outer box.

Now for the problem:

I run two desktops connected to the router, and I run a wireless network at the same time. But having the internet through the router limit 9.4 MB/s down speed. If I hardline directly on the desktop from the modem, I get 34 mb/s down. Probably the router cannot divide the speed that much. We just have our internet set to date and that 9.4 MB/s has not changed. It is always capped at that speed through the router. I don't know if it's just the router that cannot go higher than that, or if there is maybe a setting I need to change to maximize my speed. I tried fiddling with the MTU by assigning manual without real change in speed. I'm also under security settings WPA2 on the router, but even when I tried to take down the firewall on my computer, no difference in speed.

Any advice on this subject? I want to keep this router if I can.

Lapys,

I have the same exact router. I'll be honest with you... this router has not should be used with a very nice internet connection you have. Do yourself a favor and get a better, more powerful wireless router.

I gave my WRT54G2 v 1.5 far to my neighbor.

The WRT54G2 v1.5 is one of the worst products that Linksys never done... IMO.

Examination of your WRT54G2 is in the link above, but you can also use this site to find your next router.

Edit: as you can see in the magazine tests, 20 Mbps speeds ISP will basically burn this router.  He can't handle it and choke.

  • Connection of slow internet speed of Time capsule

    I have a time Capsule airport of 5th generation 2 TB (802.11 AC) and a modem TP - LINK TD - 8816 ADSL2 (bridged) connected to the TC. In recent weeks, a very slow internet connection has been detected (get the go-ahead in TC and airport utility)

    Of course, I started by judging my ISP but then realizes that configuration back to the modem for PPPoE over Ethernet, the connection achieved expected quotient of internet speed.

    I have reset the TC back to the default settings (to erase all of the current settings) and set it up again with the new and cool settings. Same results.

    For the record: I have experienced same speed slow results at the TC test by wireless or ethernet connections.

    Airport Time Capsule is running 7.7.3

    MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, end 2013) OS X El Capitan 10.11.3

    I came back to use the modem router Zyxel provided by my ISP with internet high speed optimal but misses my TC!

    Thanks in advance for your support.

    I'm in the same boat... There is something seriously wrong with the TC in PPPOE mode. And nothing you can do that on it. Apple has all the controls available in the outside world.

    I got around it by using a modem router or other router between modem bridged and TC.

    In the end I put the TC in static IP mode, and it worked very well with another router.

  • EA6500 BECOMES SLOW INTERNET

    After you have installed the EA6500 router, my internet has become slow. I have connected my PC to the router by ethernet cable and I disconnected all of the Wi - Fi device and measured 8, 75 MB. So I connected the modem cable directly on the PC (no router) and measured 17, 8 MB. Why the EA6500 goes down fast? Could someone help me? Note: my firmware is 1.1.28.146856.

    It's more than likely the solution. Download and upload in media prioritization parameters settings limit the speed of networks together values they are willing to, then in the case of several devices try to access the internet, priority devices have priority over other devices.

    To work around the limitation of speed, you can set two values '0' to indicate the router to not limit the maximum download & upload, or find your maximum speed of connections and input the correct values. I say you understand because that due to various circumstances, that your internet connection is perhaps not able to realize what your internet plan, or it may exceed what it is supposed to be like mine don't. You can of course just go with what it is supposed to be so, nothing wrong with that.

    Edit: If I remember correctly, the reason that this, he must keep the coherent connection and, with the known maximum rates, the router can better determine exactly how to limit devices non-priority when there is to do.

  • Slow Internet but network shares are ok

    First of all, here is my configuration:

    Dell Inspiron 15R (5520) Windows 7 64 bit

    ASUS RT-AC68U

    PSI rated speed: 30Mbps

    All the firmware and drivers are up to date and windows updates are enabled.

    I recently bought a new dual band router and have completed the introduction.

    When I try to connect my laptop to this new router via wifi or ethernet, my internet speed is less than 5 Mbps.

    Shared folder from my laptop to the network is very good and the speed is good too.

    iOS and Android devices to the new road via wifi gets 30Mbps full internet speed.

    When I connect the laptop to the old router (not), my laptop is able to get internet 30Mbps speed.

    Is there something I can do to improve the speed of the internet to my laptop computer connected to the router dual-band new?

    Hello

    I understand that concern you. Let me help you with the issue.

    There could be various factors at the origin of the problem as a firewall router, firmware obsolete, obsolete network drivers, bandwidth, etc.

    Are you experiencing the issue when bypass you the router?

    Some instructions that you can follow as indicated below.

    1. Obstruct free paths between your router and receive computers. Physical obstructions more between your router and computer, the lowest, the wireless signal is likely to be. Place the router in a central location with clear lines of visibility on your computer will help boost the signal.
    2. Use a wireless Repeater. Sometimes, it is not possible to move a router and the computer to create direct sight lines, or a computer may be too far from the router to get a strong signal. A wireless Repeater takes in a wireless signal and sends it with increased resistance to increase the signal. Using a Repeater wireless between your router and your computer sends a signal around obstacles and can improve performance.
    3. Reduce signal interference. Like radios, when two wireless networks are in the same area, they can interfere with each other. If you know that another router wireless is close to you, you can move the router to another area or ask the owner of the other router to move sound.
    4. Reduce the use of the network. Sometimes slow Internet use on a wireless network is not the fault of the network, but that too many users are connected to the network. Disconnect other computers connected to the free network bandwidth, and increase the speed. It is also important to block free riders to connect to your network and slowing of setting up your router password protection. Check the user manual of your router on how to set up a password.

    I suggest you to first change the string in the configuration of the router page and check if the problem persists. If many people in your building using the same channel, then you might notice a slowdown in your Internet speed. Switching to one of these channels will reduce interference and possibly increase your speed.

    If the problem persists, then try to update the firmware on the router in router configuration page. Given that the laptop works very well on old router, maybe the new router requires compatible firmware to allow an intense sound signal from the router again.

    Just reply to us with the State so that we can help you.

  • Please help to configure the router for internet connection 871W!

    Hello world!

    I just started styding for CCNA, so I'm totally new to Cisco stuff. Recently bought a router 871W and spent two days in a row trying to configure internet connection with no luck! I use the port console for the configs and SDM/CCP. Would be greateful if someone could tell me how to do simple configs of internet connection. I googled everything but it's still confusing. I can't assing all-IP ports FA 0-3. I used instead of the VLAN. But all tutorials use FA0 and when I try to assign an IP address to FA0 it gives me some L2 cannot be assigned or something... :/ And I am also confused at what address IP use for WAN.

    I connected the cable between the Modem and the LAN of the PC port and copied some IP addresses which I think I have to use to configure the router for internet connection. And here they are:

    ISP IP: 76.114.54.255

    SUBNET: 255.255.248.0

    GATEWAY: 76.114.48.1

    DHCP: 69.252.97.4

    DNS: 75.75.75.75

    75.75.76.76

    If you can, please help! Thank you!

    Hi david,

    Looks like your 871w can not get a dynamic IP address: % unknown DHCP problem... No possible allocation

    you could ask your ISP to perform a reset/clear MAC add and try again?

    also, kindly post lastest "show run".

    Edit: just to see you've updated your screenshot. could you add command under 4

  • Slow Internet connection on Windows 7

    I have Windows 7 Home installed in my HP laptop. Web brosing speed is too slow on the PC. I have a fiber optic internet connection which has max of 16 Mbps download speed. The internet speed is good and reaches sometimes up to 10 Mbit/s, while it barely reaches 2 Mbit/s in normal mode. Most of the programs I uninstalled, run the registry cleaner by Norton, Scanner Malware bytes, regularly updated Norton antivirus definitions. I also installed only a few program - MS Office 2010, Norton Antivirus, Real Networks, itunes and HP provided software preinstalled with the laptop. Internet activity is limited to a few Bank sites and youtube. Like all the anti virus scan, spyware scans were not able to detect any virus or spyware, I'm at a loss to find any reason for the slow internet speeds. The speed of the internet is amazing when I use my tab Thosibha or on my smart phone Sony. Any ideas please.

    I have this noted in may 2013 and unfortunately do not have the restore point beyond June 2013.

    Hi, our school has very slow internet. It is very annoying when creative cloud must update, there is no option to jump.

We must therefore update here, usually something full and urgent waiting to be done.
