The "N" wireless Internet speed is 30 to 50% slower than the wired connection

I have verizon Fios internet 25mbps and I get up to 30 on my desktop which is connected directly to the modem, but my laptop on my netgear rangemax Wireless-N 150 router gets 10-13mbps, not far from the router, how can I get the laptop, go faster.

Hi JTBisaha,

Wi - Fi connection, the speed reduction could be due to several reasons. Few of them are listed below:

1. There could be interference in the network you use.

2. There may be a lot of users are using the same network at this moment

3. the point of network access can be blocked by something at that time.

Follow the steps below:

Method 1: You can follow the steps described in the article below and check if it helps.

  • wireless system tray icon disappears when the wired connection is present

    When I plug in ethernet, the wireless icon disappears in the system tray.  Sometimes I connect to a Wi - Fi, and at the same time.

    Is there a way to make it stay put?

    Hello

    It is not possible to show the two notification icons when you connect to a Wi - Fi network and at the same time in the system tray.

    When you connect to a wired connection, it will display the wired connection icon and if you connect to the internet wireless, it will display an icon of wireless connection. Both will appear in the same time.

    However if you have connected both cables and wireless Internet, it will show you one of the two icons based on the priority that you have set.

    We can change the priority of the network connections and make them follow an order of desired connection. You can make Windows 8 use wired connection instead of wireless. When you start your laptop, if there is a wireless connection, your Windows laptop will connect to the Wi - Fi connection. Even if you connect to a wired connection, usage will continue to be the Wi - Fi connection. This is because, when more than one network connection is available, Windows uses the one with the lowest metric value.

    To change the priority of network connection, follow the steps.

    a. press the Windows key + C.

    b. Select Search and then type network connections.

    c. now, click the ALT key to open the convening of Menu bar. Click on advanced settings. This will open the properties box.

    d. under the tab cards and links, you will see the list of connection and Windows services related to the order in which they are consulted by network connections and others. The default value is Wi - Fi, Ethernet, and then remote access. The network connections service manages objects in the network and remote access connections folder, in which you can view the local area network and remote connections. Using up and down arrows, you can change their order and set it according to your priorities. When you change the setting as shown above and make Ethernet as first choice, your laptop will use the wired connection first by choice.

    e. click OK and the output.

    Your Windows PC will now follow this order of priority when the detection of the available network connections.

    Hope this information is useful.

    Thank you all who responded and have tried to help me. Before posting, I tried most of the mentioned patches, including upgrading my firmware of the router. In addition, I went to Device Manager and scanned for changes and checked the properties under the Advanced tab of the Wifi link adapter. I tried the update driver and deactivation and activation of the device. None of this has worked.

    Finally, I uninstalled and then reinstalled the Wifi card. It worked. I guess the driver software became corrupt and data of the register of the device had probably need re - install, this is what worked. This seems to happen when upgrading Windows operating systems prior to WIN 7 and later people lose their wifi connection. Then this problem develops.

    It worked for me. I hope this works for others with the same problem.

  • Let the wired connection or disconnect after installation?

    I use a router E2500 and adapter EA2500. I started from zero today, uninstall then reinstall the software.

    As stated in the video on the site Web of Linksys, I plugged the router and then the computer with the cable with the router, and the router to the modem. When it was all over, I unplugged the cable from the computer to the router. Should I have left that in? When he's in, multi-network presents in the network and sharing Center.

    Thank you very much, I appreciate the information and the quick response.

  • My wireless laptop have double the speed of the internet than my Wired desktop pc

    I just bought the Linksys E2000 and configure properly with a single office (wired connection), adapter of a phone (wired connection) and two laptops (both connected wireless).  Everything works very well - the phone works and all computers can access the internet.  However, every one of my laptops get a speed of 25 to 30 Mbps but my office (which even once, is connected by ethernet cable to the router) is only to get a speed of less than 15 Mbps.  That's nearly half the speed of laptop computers.  When the office is directly connected to the modem, it gets the same speed than laptops, about 25-30 Mbps.  If the router is somehow reducing the speed of the internet from my office by about 50%.  If a wired connection still should not be faster than a wireless?

    I chat and talked with Linksys on 5 customer support representatives, tried all the settings, they have suggested, re-installed the software, but none of them could find an answer.  One of them acknowledged that this is not normal and suggested a return to the store and return the router to another.  I'm not changing it and exactly the same thing is happening then it is probably not a hardware problem.  It is a setting that needs to be configured or this router simply gives slower speeds for wired devices.  I hope it's something that I can configure.  Can anyone suggest anything?  Everyone knows this?

    I just bought the Linksys router E4200 today (the new router Linksys from this date).  I tested it on my computers without changing anything (except of course re - install the new CD of Cisco Connect).  This time, my office is at normal speed (25-30 Mbps) and my laptops were still a bit faster than before.  It's certainly better that way.  It was certainly the router, something in the E2000 was slowing down the wired connection to my office at 50% of what it was supposed to be.

    Note that I could have lived with the reduction in speed in my office who was originally the E2000.  15 Mbps is always suitable speed for most of the tasks of the internet.  I understand that it is a long-term feature that I use for many years.  So, I would prefer that there are no glitches at first.  My router Linksys previous lasted me 10 years and could still running even longer.  Its technology of 2001 all new computers support I have had over the years and also a VoIP phone adapter and served fine as a mobile Wi - Fi Blackberry and Droid hotspot.  So I'm looking forward to using it again for just as long if all goes well.

    Moreover, the E4200 was not easy to find.  From this date, Amazon.com and Bestbuy.com do it have yet because it's so new.  Electronic no Fry did.  I got the chance to find it in a Best Buy store without an appointment.  No other Best Buy store that was in my area, this alone (maybe they are the first in my area).  I paid $149 plus tax (compared to $69 more taxes for the E2000).  After reading all the comments on this subject and my own experience, for me, it is definitely worth paying the extra for it.

  • Cable networking computers add wireless internet is equal to the disaster?

    We have a small office with three computers that are connected via a wired connection for the file and printer sharing.   We are in the country, so DSL or Fios or any kind of fast internet is not a possibility.  We have recently added AT & T Wi - Fi which is great, but you must disable the network connection to access the internet and, conversely, to print documents.  Is there a way to tell the wired connection it will be never used for the internet?  Or should we go 100% wireless is not to confuse the system?

    When you say your 'network cable cross' your Linksys router, I guess you mean that each computer has a cable connected to the router and not that there is an Internet connection to the router (i.e., at the back of the router, plug with the yellow label 'Internet' is empty).  It seems, however, that you used to connect to the Internet through the router, and the remains of this configuration are the cause of the confusion.

    I also note that the Linksys E-1000 is a wireless router; I guess you have this part of the router disabled (if not, see pages 19 and 20 of the user manual).

    It seems also that if someone has attempted to address the issue by making your network adapters use static IP addresses (or fixed).  It's a good start, but more needs to be done.

    The fundamental problem is that your Linksys router and the AT & T hotspot have the same local IP address, and each claims that it is the 'default gateway' to the Internet.  Because you use is no longer the Linksys router to do this, you must change several settings.

    The first thing to do is to change the local IP address of the router.  See p. 16 of the User Guide.  You have a choice: you can either have two separate completely local networks (one wired and one wireless) or you can have them on the same network - but in this case, you need to be careful that your affected addresses manually are not incompatible with the IP addresses assigned automatically by the DHCP server in the AT & T hotspot.

    Because you only have 3 computers (and possibly a printer network or 2) and the IP address manually-set from that you have watched seems to be far from the IP address automatically together on the USB adapter, we will stay with a single network, but first do the following research:

    Run the command ipconfig/all on each of your computers and make a list of IP addresses for the connection to the Local network and the wireless network connection.  For the computer that you use to provide the above information, it is information that you need to write:

    Connection to the LAN - IP address...: 192.168.1.149
    Connection network wireless - IP address...: 192.168.1.6

    You will notice that the first three sets of numbers in the two addresses are the same (192.168.1).  That's what I meant by "a network".  The important thing is that the fourth number MUST BE DIFFERENT for each device on the network.

    If your printers are directly connected to the Linksys router and not connected to one of the computers and shared, you also need to know the IP addresses of printers (if you have wireless printers, you need to keep the Linksys Wireless, contrary to what I wrote above).  If you have wireless printers but don't know how to find their IP addresses, post back with the printer brand and model).

    For the sake of discussion, I'll assume 3 wireless network connections and connections to the Local network 3 are 192.168.1.149, 192.168.1.150 and 192.168.1.151 192.168.1.4, 192.168.1.5 and 192.168.1.6.  The real numbers are not critical, as long as there is no overlap.

    Later in the process, explained the s. 16 of the User Guide, change the IP address of the frouter Linksys to 192.168.1.1 to something relatively far from other addresses, for example, 192.168.1.200 (it must be less than 255).

    Now, on each of the computers, follow these steps:

    • Open network connections (start > run > ncpa.cpl > OK)
    • Right-click on the connection to the Local network and select Properties
    • Select "Protocol Internet (TCP/IP)" and click on the properties button
    • In the 'Général' tab, the box 'use the following IP address' is probably already selected.  If this is not the case, check it.
    • If the "use the following IP address" was NOT previously selected, you will need to fill in the boxes.

    The IP address must be the number you copied down earlier (for example, 192.168.1.149).
    The subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0.
    Make sure the "Default gateway" box is empty.  It is important step.

    • Check "Use the following DNS server address."  Leave the boxes blank.
    • OK your way out

    Restart each computer and things should work OK now.

  • Low-speed Internet with wired connection to E4200

    I have a HP Pavilion p6347c AMD Athlon II X 4 630 2.80 GHz, 64 Bit, Windows 7 SP1 WITH 16 GB of Ram, using Comcast high speed Internet.

    It works very well and I had no problem with my Pavilion until I replaced my old router G with a LinkSys E4200 (state-of-the-art, the top page of the router line N).  All the features work well, except that when I use Firefox 7.0 or Internet Explorer 9.0, the connection time is very very very slow when my computer is connected to my router with an Ethernet cable.  The problem disappears when I log - in using the same Ethernet cable - directly into the modem high speed; Then, the loading speeds are fast as lightning.  When I return to the router via a wired connection, even - page very very very slow post.

    I've already spent about 8 sessions with LinkSys on the phone and chat, and it turns out that the router is not the problem (according to LinkSys).  They advised that I need to contact the manufacturer of the computer, or people who can respond to Windows 7 support issues.  Someone at - it ideas?  Maybe something I can change in the settings of the firewall, network, computer security options settings?

    I connected my HP laptop running WINDOWS VISTA on the same Ethernet cable and disabled the wireless.  The speed of the wired connection is quick as a Flash - no problem at all.

    Then why my desktop Windows 7 SP1 computer not offer me the same speed?  Whenever I need to do important online work, I have to unplug my Ethernet cable from the router and plug directly on the modem to get faster speeds.  I then reconnect to the router once completed, so that users without wire and devices on my network work.  It's very frustrating.

    Help!  I am at a loss to understand why this computer has not faster to the Internet when wired to the router.  Is - this Windows 7?  There are some options that I need to change?  Someone at - he heard talk about this and you offer solutions?  Appreciate any assistance.  Thank you.  / Jacques novel /- [email protected]

    P.S. Customer LinkSys was no contribution to this issue.  I hope that some tech "warned" this reading will say AH-HAH and offer a viable solution.

    On a hunch, I selected the reset 'Factory Defaults' option in the Administration, after having updated the firmware. Something must have been damaged during the first attempt to install the router.

     

    To reset the default settings, you must have the original Setup disk and re-install using the same router name and the password.

     

    When this was done, the Ethernet connection worked perfectly.  Hope it will be useful to all having the same problem.

    I know that there are similar problems posted everywhere, but I can't seem to find the right solution. My WiFi works fine but cable did not see the router or on the internet. A few details:

    I can communicate between hosts and wireless on the router.

    The router assigns the IP both wired and wireless.

    The wired connection works on the laptop and wireless works on it, too.

    Wired does not work on the desktop, there is no wireless capability.

    Cable cannot reach 196.168.1.1, wireless can.

    I have updated the firmware of the router.

    I installed the latest drivers for the NIC.

    The office (cable) connects to the internet via cable modem, without going through the router.

    I have no firewall active or other security features.

    Same results with Firefox, IE, and Casimir FTP.

  • Automatically use the wired on wireless LAN connection when using the docking station

    ThinkVantage Access Connections (AC) can be configured to do this. Change your location profile and change the order of the adapter associated with this place, for example, order first as Wired and Wireless second.

    When I am connected Wired and I pull the Ethernet cable, AC will switch to using wireless automatically. When I put the Ethernet back in, it starts automatically by using the wired and wireless don't report limited or no connectivity (which means that the switch has occurred). You will have to perhaps set up wireless in AC power options, i.e. disable radio when not in use (I did not sentence again).

    This could be similar to a docking station solution. Mine is without docking station; When I'm at the office and go to a meeting, I pull the wire and have continuity.

    Ideally, the CA should provide a solution. But it may take some fiddling.

  • Option of assigning wireless via a wired connection?

    Thank you

    Since bridges merge default to the main network adapter of the host and by default if the Ethernet and airport are active then Ethernet is the primary but you have a few options if you want to adjust which Fusion adapter is connected to.  Earlier current Fusion also does not provide a GUI in a GA release to change this, however you can manually edit the file "/ Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/boot.sh" or VM@Work Tokamak allows you to automate the process or change the order of Service to the airport primary Ethernet vs.

    If you want to manually edit and then take a look on: or manually force Fusion to use specific or connections network interfaces

    If you want to use a script take a look to: Advanced Networking Configuration - Tokamak Networking Scripts for VMware Fusion

    Note: There is also a beta version, you can try for the feature added by DaveP post Re: Scripts to manage the merger of network settings.

    If you do not want to change the boot.sh or use the Tokamak you can make your airport the main...
