• WRT54GL: Fast cable internet connection; very slow wireless

  I have been chasing a problem for months and I am at the end of my mind.

  I started with a cable modem Motorola SB5101 and Buffalo bison wrt-hp-g54.  For years, we had a (intermittent) desperately slow wireless connectivity.  Recently I started to run through Speakeasy.NET speed tests to try to find a motive.

  Wire speed is consistently running 15-16 Mbit/s, compatible with the speed promised our cable package.

  Wireless speeds were a different matter.  From multiple computers, they would sometimes as soon as the wire speed; then all of a sudden (from all wireless computers) the speed would fall to 0.5 Mbit/s or less, then the speed measured on our single wired computer remained at 15 Mbps.

  Restart the router would mitigate the problem for a while, and then the wireless would fall up to 0.5 Mbps.

  Wire speed would remain stable at the nominal 15 Mbit/s.

  Well, looked like a bad router.  I replaced it with a WRT54GL hardware version 1.1.  I've updated the firmware to the last - v4.30.16.

  I selected a channel (2) wireless network what inSSIDer 3 watch is not used by any neighboring router (i.e., no interference).  I have that checked regularly and am sure that interference is not the problem.  The router is configured for the wireless G only; WPA - AES.

  The same problem occurs with the new Linksys router.

  In desperation I replaced the old modem SB5101 with a new SB6141 cable, not believing there could be everything possible that could help but, this what the devil - we will eliminate it as a factor as possible and go to DOCSIS 2.0 to DOCSIS 3.0.

  The problem persists.

  Thus, new router, cable modem brand new, constant wire-speed, without strong signals wireless, channel interference all around. but the problem persists. There has been no improvement on the old hardware I used.

  All computers, but a (XP Pro) is running Windows 7 Pro.

  The problem is not predictable, except that the speed degradation will happen sooner or later - and this is not progressive.  Suddenly, he fell like a stone and sticks to 0.4 to 0.5 Mbits/sec.  Reboot the router (usually) will fix it for a while, and sometimes it will clear up on its own, given enough time.

  I ran inSSIDer several times while this is happening, but he sees no other no signal on the channel I use--in fact, none on adjacent channels either.

  I checked from wireless to the router table and there is no other than our device, so it does not appear that the network has been hacked.

  Does anyone have an idea what might be going on or suggest an action plan?

  The only thing I can think is that there is something between the router and the computers wireless in the House which is eating up 95% of the bandwidth wireless - a sort of voting out of control.  But what?  I'm completely stuck.

  Follow-up.  I changed the channel 1 wireless; After doing some research I realized that sharing a channel (as long as your signal is at least 20 dB louder) causes fewer conflicts overlapping channels.  I have not changed anything else.  I'm tempted to allow the break-up of the frame but implementation of that seems to be somewhat specific to the supplier so I'll let it be.  In any event the wireless speed now as fast as the wire speed.

  The result is that since the re - install the Linksys firmware and do a hard reset that I saw not a single instance of the speed problem.  So I still don't know exactly what caused in the first place, but I'm glad that the problem has disappeared, so I'll just let things be.

  Thank you!

• Slow wireless speeds on Satellite A300

  I had a Satellite A300-1mc for Christmas and everything is ok with him except speed downlaod are very slow grace wireless, I removed mcafee, downloaded the latest drivers and speeds are still slow I even reinstalled the Intel (R) Wifi link 5100 AGN
  My laptop is downlaod speed about 10 maybe 20 kb/s while your desktop running through the same router gets speeds of 100 KB/sand, the laptop connected via lan gets 250 kb / s

  If anyone has any ideas help would be much apreciated

  Hello

  Everything is possible. Many people have the same problem, but in most of the comments, the problem is for Toshiba laptop.
  Thank you for your report.

• Download speed very slow wireless on Qosmio x 500-10T

  Hi all

  Just upgraded to a Tosh Satelite to a Qosmio X 500-10T - thought this would solve problems of speed, I got with the old machine using XP and a Belkin (g) wireless network adapter for the (n) on the Qosmio. Everything worked OK with the old Tosh but the new Qosmio is a disaster.

  I went through all installation steps, read all the forums, the updated drivers, but still, I get 50-80 Kbps when using the wireless. When I connect using cable, I can get all that Virgin can send me (app 2 MB, up to what I've upgraded, [when I can get 2 MB])!

  I tried the setting on my router (linksys WRT300N), it was capable of serving a Vista PC (wired) and two laptops, a Vista the other my XP, two laptops on wireless.

  I was wondering if Windows 7 has nothing to do with the problem but I don't see what parameters can be wrong or is it just not compatible with my router. Someone has an idea of the required parameters, or is there a digitization program I can run that will tell me? (I don't want to have to drag a cable around the House!

  Hi Gallan,

  If your WLAN speed is slow, you should try the following instructions but first of all make sure that your WLAN driver is up to date and it can be downloaded directly from Toshiba:

  -Updated the BIOS to the latest version
  -Disable management feature in Windows to energy WLAN power management
  -Put the router and the laptop N project only
  -Try with other encryption, e. g. WPA2
  -Update the firmware on your router
  -Disable the MAC address filtering and other security features

  I hope that helps!

• Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG slow wireless

  Hello
  I reformatted my laptop on a wek ago, and since then, I've noticed that my wireless works more slowly than usual.

  Before he was reformatted my download speed is about 240KB, but now it's about 160KB download. It is not the source of the download as my old Toshiba with an external wifi adapter gets about 240KB download the same file.

  I've updated the drivers to those most recent outside, but it has not changed a thing.

  I don't know what I can do and any help will be appreciated.

  Hello

  Your Intel Wireless card supports three different modes of WLan: A, B and G
  These three different modes that also supports different speeds.
  In my opinion your use a slow or well the server mode where you download files of does not support a faster speed.

  All WLan settings, you should find in the WLan card properties. He just go to Device Manager, select WLan CAD and click Properties.
  On the Advanced tab, you'll find plenty of options, and there you can choose A, B or G mode.
  Additional I recommend you disable the saving on this card.

• SOLVED: Slow wireless internet passthrough after firmware update

  If I first bought a Nighthawk in July 2014 and it was great for a while. Then in the notice happened a few months my streaming services are jumping and more than usual buffering (which was almost never with the Nighthawk).

  I have a connection of 110Mbps (Comcast and through a SB6141 modem), but all of a sudden was only getting 10 Mbps (or less) passthrough on 5 G wireless band (at the beginning of the speed test would sometimes up to 50 Mbit/s, but on a few seconds would fall to nothing..)

  Cable speeds were very good. Always 110Mbps +. Tried several different channels and factory reset the router, wireless speed was still slow. Connected to the Netgear website and submitted a support ticket within 2 hours they sent me with an RMA number and the next day a new unit has been FedEx would be for me. Support rep Tech says it's a problem of material known in some units... I was super impressed with the customer service, it was seriously a no replacement of hassles that took every 15 minutes of my time.

  EXCEPT when I got the replacement router in the next few days, he had the SAME PROBLEM. As soon as the new router is on and I'm connected, I've upgraded to the latest version of the firmware, done a factory reset and down Speedtest. And I had the same problem: speed internet passthrough on all my wireless devices has been terrible. Less than 10 Mbps when I have a connection 110 + Mbps. (Wired speeds were great, it was not a problem of modem or provider).

  Again contacted support and they asked me to download the latest firmware on laptop and upgrade the router manually, do a factory reset before and after the upgrade. They also told me to try to disable WMM (made no difference speed passthrough, but lower my laptop connection between 433Mbps to 54Mbps speed!).

  I tried this... still slow passthough wireless speed.

  The only thing that has changed since I first got a Nighthawk in July 2014 (and I've run speedtests then and had a speed 110 wireless + Mbit/s at the time), is that the firmware has updated several times... makes me think...

  I downloaded the Netgear support the past 5 versions of the firmware for the Nighthawk. http://downloadcenter.netgear.com/en/product/R7000#sear...

  I then manually downgraded the Nighthawk to each previous version (do a factory reset before and after each installation) and ran Speedtest every time. Once I have got down to the R7000 Version - V1.0.3.24_1.1.20 (released 12/02/14) and ran a Speedtest, the PROBLEM has BEEN RESOLVED. Speed wireless devices (laptop, HTC a M7 and iPad Air 2) were all back up to 110Mbps or more!

  Hope this experience helps someone else... If your are affected by the passthrough slow internet speeds and it is not your connection speed (i.e. radio parasites) that is the question, there seems to be a serious problem with the latest latest versions of couple... Try downgrading to the R7000 firmware version - V1.0.3.24_1.1.20

  UPDATE: Yes, I actually tested the speed with several different devices (a laptop HP HTC a M7 and Nexus 9) each on 5G band, all compatible with the latest updates ac. I also used a few test sites of different speed (speedtest.net, comcast speedtest, cnet speed test), not had the same result all devices and hosts.

  However, I actually got in touch with Netgear L2 support for the last month... beta test a few different versions of the firmware of the Nighthawk and even spend more than an hour on the phone one night with a nice guy who told me he was on an island in Southeast Asia, part of the Philippines... This is where Netgear technical support is to halfway between China where they build them and Taiwan where engineers are. After trying all tweak he could think for an hour and not get better speeds wireless, he finally dropped out and wished me a Merry Christmas lol. Not one of these beta firmware made a bit of difference, and I hate the hours that they made me screwing around with them!

  BUT today, they released vR7000 - V1.0.4.14_1.1.50 http://support.netgear.com/product/r7000

  And to my surprise it actually worked! Not only my high speed wireless is returned (120 + Mbps)

  http://www.Speedtest.NET/my-result/4078979293 (laptop)
  http://www.Speedtest.NET/my-result/a/1131321713 (nexus 9)
  http://www.Speedtest.NET/my-result/a/1131332778 (htc a m7)

  but also my Seagate SRD0SD0 previously incompatible (3 TB) USB 3.0 external hard drive works now, too. What a bonus! The reason I bought the Nighthawk was to use as Server DLNA and the monster external HD I picked up 6 months ago only was on the long list of those incompatible with this capricious router.

  But now everything works (at least for now).

  P.S. Maybe it's in my head, but I swear to you that since the last firmware update when running speedtest now or file transfer (while heavy streaming) I can hear the router doing a greater slope electric buzzing/hissing noise is a little disconcerting... I'm not sure my brain fried by overclocked wifi will be worth a high speed in the end...: eek:

• Very slow wireless connection

  Hello

  I am owner of the Dell Studio 1555 and I Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini Card on my Board. There is a problem when I am connected to my router and Internet runs very slowly. The signal strength is excellent, I use WPA2 encryption. There is no problem to connect to the network, I had just to configure the ipv4 as IP, the door parameters and so on because the automatic setting didn't work. So I run my firefox and google charges pretty okey but slow. It is then impossible to surf because the download speed is something like 1 kb/s. When I plug in the ethernet cable so it's all good. I tried reinstalling the drivers but nothing has changed. I use windows vista. I also tried connection in linux ubuntu system, but same problem occurs. My friend uses a wireless connection of the router same and everything is going well for him. How to speed up the connection?

  Best wishes

  Simon

  If you connect the laptop to the router (or the modem) with a cable? If it gives a high speed, you may need to change the channel is using your router. It's probably 11. Replace 1 or 5. Can significantly reduce the interference from other wireless devices connect speeds.

• Slow wireless connection of N on the S10-3 0647

  I just bought an S10 3 0647 and while it seems to work fine, I found is very slow N wireless connectivity - it shows the connection speed to be as slow as 19Mbps at times, but more often around 26Mbps. I don't know why when I have other laptops with Wireless N connectivity at up to 144Mbps no matter where I am located in my house from the wireless router (Netgear DGND3700 which has the latest firmware update).

  I need to update a driver, or modify any other parameter?

  Any help would be appreciated.

• [X 230] Extremely slow wireless connection

  Hi all

  I just received my brand new X 230. The problem is as indicated in the heading "wireless connection is extremely slow.

  I got my old SL300 of 4 years at the side of my X 230. When I test the speed to broadband, my SL300 yields 6 MB/sdownload and 1. 6 mb/s upload. However, my new gives a super speed reduced to 0.3 mb/s and 1.1 MB/s. So I think that my problem has nothing to do with my router.

  I've already put my setting of the adapter wireless for maximum performance (power options > change plan settings > change advanced power settings > wireless adapter settings > power save mode > maximum power output). But it does not solve the problem.

  Here's my X 230 Specifications:

  Can someone please help me understand this problem?

  I can't really do anything with such a slow speed.

  Thank you very much in advance.

  I realize that it is not my laptop. It's my router actually.

  So if someone uses Cisco E1200, please update your firmware!

  (Ask the call center, that the steps are too complicated)

  I'm sorry if this thread is a boring.

• Satellite T110-121 - slow wireless connectivity

  Hi there, hope someone can help me.

  I just bought a Toshiba Satellite [T110-121 | http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/product/Satellite-T110-121/1080681/toshibaShop/false/] laptop and it's absolutely great in every way, but it connects to my router wireless less than 512 Kbps.

  I have an another Toshiba laptop, I am about to sell ([U30013U | http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=UK&com.broadvis ion.session.new = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 137279]) and the wireless speed is normally around 15mbps. All other laptops that were already connected to my wireless router are normally not less than 15mbps.

  The T110-121 is super fast when it is connected through ethernet, therefore, the problem lies only in the part things wireless.
  My router is a netgear dg834g, and I'm on DSL of the Virgin.

  The only major difference between my two laptops from Toshiba is the new are listed as being supported network: 802.11b/g/n connectivity and my oldest with the connection the faster is listed as: a/b/g. This would make much difference?

  I should also add that I removed all potentially problematic pre-installed software, such as Mcafee and I use Avast.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  There is a difference between simple standards of WLan 802.11 A, B, G or N.
  If your router supports 802.11 G or N then I would recommend choosing 802.11 N Router and the settings of the Wlan because the 802.11 standard card standard is the fastest and the most recent.

  Please check if the wireless network card is configured properly. You can do this in-Wlan card-> Advanced tab > Device Manager.
  You could improve also the unique parameters and performance of WLan.

  Last but not least, please check the Windows 7 power management because the WLan performance might be decreased in for safe battery power.

  An update of the WLan driver should be judged as well.

• Slow wireless 802.11 g with Satellite M40X

  With the Toshiba on 802.11 wireless b is not a problem at all. When you connect to a 802.11 g, it does not work.
  The connection works fine however the Exchange with internet on 802.11 g is very low speed.
  When the connection to a modem in Group b the speed remains stable at 11Mbits when connected to a modem with band g the connection is successful, however, the speed is only for a few seconds at 54 Mbps speed down to 1Mbit exchange and internet is very, very slowly.

  I tried this with two different modems in Group b and the other in Group g. My Toshiba M40X and a desktop computer equipped with a SWEEX Wireless USB, using also two different computers.

  The office with SWEEX glue works fine on two modems while the Toshiba only works very well on the b band modem

  Any idea?

  Chris

  Hello

  It seems that you are using the minPCI card Intel 2200 wireless b/G LAN.
  I noticed several problems with the WLan card and especially the driver update has solved the problems. Visit the Intel site and download the latest driver.

  You posted something about two modems (B and G). Have you also tried to use the WLan card only with 802.11 B status or 802.11 G?

  In the WLan card properties, you can choose B, G or both together. Check it out.

• EA3500 very slow wireless connection

  When I test my connection speed wireless with Linksys EA3500 get one only 5 Mbps download speed, if I connect my computer directly to the modem from my ISP I get a speed of 30Mpbs, someone has an idea why such a huge difference or have ideas I can speed thing on my wireless connection, no problem of co-location the wireless device which is 5 ft of the computer and only one switched printer connection Othere to my network wireless off?

  Maybe it is better because it can become very complicated when troubleshooting these issues

• Slow wireless connectivity with WRT54GS

  If I connect to the router with a LAN, I get ~ 63Mbps, but whenever I try to go wireless, the speed goes down between 12-15Mbps (at best). There is no update of the firmware for the router, and I am at a loss to the extent where how to get the best speed via a wireless connection. FYI, I have security WPA2 value, but I don't seem to lose a lot of speed (as appropriate) as a result of the security is enabled. I REALLY want to get the best speed via a wireless connection, but I am fairly new to try to figure out what kind of things networking, any help would be appreciated!

  The router is capable of speed of wireless connection reaching up to 54 Mbps. With today's ' Smart' technology, it would be a smart move, upgrade to a new router. Get a N router, if this isn't an AC, rather than keep the G one.
