Wired connection only connect to 100MB instead of 1 GB

Lenovo T60p Widescreen; Windows XP; direct connection to the gigabit switch

Driver cable; 20/04/06; 9.2.50.0 (before the upgrade TVT)

Wireless driver; Atheros; 12/13/06; 6.02.75 (before the upgrade TVT)

-It is that this laptop connects only to 100 MB instead of 1 GB via wired connection.

-Initially thought it was somehow to do with IE, because TI o/s behaved slowly until I killed the process IE

Rebooted - no difference

A ran full TVT updates, including BIOS and not restarted - no difference

Question: what gives with LAN speed 100 MB vs. 1 GB single connection - it worked OK before.

Note: The things I kept my eye on are Symantec Antivirus; Symantec Firewall; Internet Explorer, but LAN speed is confusing.

My apologies if this has been resolved somewhere else and please ask questions of me to clarify anything.

Thank you.

Paul

This chalk up to my alter ego - Dopus Maximus.

I checked the wiring and found that the user has connected a 100MB switch on the wall socket - which is connected to a switch of 1 GB.  This explains the drop in speed.

  • WRT610N dhcp gives wrong IP addresses all the time (on a wired connection only)

    Hello

    We use a 10.0.0.0/24 subnet for our router. The router is 10.0.0.1 and is configured to assign IP addresses from de.200. Now, while this does very well on the wireless, we get always bad IPs (of the 192.168.1 subnet) when you use a wired connection.

    The problem disappeared after only a factory resets, but now reappears. Customers are different from linux clients.

    Is the firmware bug?

    Arnuschky

    Most likely, someone else on another router your network that assigns 192.168.1 addresses.

    Do the on two computers once with a 10 addresses assigned, once with a address affected 192.168.

    Open a window prompt on your computer. Type ' ipconfig/all '. Then ping the default gateway, for example "ping 192.168.1.1" or "ping 10.0.0.1. Then enter 'arp - a'. After the output is full in each case.

    This should show how computers are configured, how and where they get their IP and MAC address of the router/DHCP server.

  • Wired connection without love at first sight?

    I need to update the software for my router at home. (The router were made by Netgear).

    At the beginning of the instructions, it says this: "to avoid the problem of disconnection during the process of the firmware download wireless, NETGEAR recommends this firmware update be performed on a computer with wired connection.

    I don't know how to connect my Macbook Air to the modem with a cable, since it seems that there is no port for this.

    It seems that I might be able to buy a "Thunderbolt" adapter for $29, but that seems like a piece of expensive hardware because I need only to update this software. For $29, I could virtually buy a new router.

    Two questions:

    1. is there a cheaper way to connect my Macbook Air to the internet with a cable?

    2. can I download updated the firmware of the Netgear via the normal WiFi connection, or he'll just permanently disconnect my laptop on my home WiFi network?

    Thank you for any advice you can give me.

    (1) No, you need to this thunderbolt adapter and an ethernet cable.

    (2) what they give is the perfect Board as ethernet is more reliable than wifi. But I am not agree.  Maybe I have will burn someday, but chances are with me.  99% + chance you can do wireless.  You are offline but can reconnect automatically in most cases and may have to do a manual connect after installs the firmware.

  • Apple Airprint for HP Officejet 6500 has more via a wired connection to the router

    Hello

    So I did a considerable amount of research in this through the internet and this forum and I still struggle to find a satisfactory solution.

    I have a HP Officejet 6500 a more connected by ethernet to my BT Homehub 3.

    It is I understand that even if there is a wired connection, as long as my iOS device (iPad 2 or iPhone 5) is connected to the same router, I should still be able to see this Officejet thanks to ease of airprint.

    Unfortunately, this is not the case. I get the message "No Airprint Printers Found" on both devices. The only way I managed to get my Mac Pro (Mavericks) to connect has been add to mannualy by using the IP address of the printer.

    Can anyone provide guidance on what I might hurt? Certainly, the printer must connect internet I can print from my iOS devices using HP ePrint app for iOS.

    Some might say, well, what's the problem, just use the HP application, but is not the point. I think that if something has been set up to make things easier, then use it. I chose this printer specifically for this feature is a bit frustrating for her so difficult to get the desired results.

    Hope it is something simple and anyone can help you.

    Thank you

    Steve

    Following this request and reading the many more similar questions, I think I may have solved this.

    I'm not 100% sure but I read a few threads suggests that there are issues around BT Homehub 3 and Hello so this can be a problem.

    I tried the following in the past two days...

    (1) completely don't reset my router (wiped all settings and started)-no luck!

    (2) I tried changing to WPA2 to just WPA security - no luck!

    (3) tried to convey the Hello to the printer ports - no luck!

    (4) turn off the router, printer and all the devices iOS then fed back router, printer, then iOS devices - printer appears on iOS devices, but when printing was selected iOS device returned on several occasions not connected printer error.

    Finally, what seems to have made (at least for now) has been...

    (1) disconnected the Officejet ethernet and set up as wireless.

    (2) off voltage router, printer and all iOS devices then propelled upward in the order listed previously.

    (3) so far, I tried to print a mail and a web page of my iOS devices, and both have been successful.

    By the way I've been struggling also to airplay from my iPhone / iPad until I started messing around with the settings above, and now this question also seems to be resolved.

    Due to the variety of combinations (different printers, routers, etc.) people will have, it seems to be quite difficult to find a solution that solves a single problem but I hope some of my experiences and findings could help others in some way.

  • I am unable to connect to the Linksys WRT54G Router with wired connection to Office XP.

    My two laptops (XP and a Win7) will be connected to the router wireless and wired (ethernet). When it is plugged directly into the DSL modem, the Office connects and works very well. This problem started when I had to replace the DSL modem.

    I inherited this problem for my elderly mother... and it all started because they gave me the router password wrong, who now works (router has been reset) on two laptops, but when connected, the Office doesn't even show a light of connection on the router except during startup. I no longer get a window of logon passwork for the router, and I am unable to connect/ping the router in the office. (192.168.1.1)

    I would like to clarify a few things.

    1. two laptops work fine with cable connections and wireless through the WRT54G.

    2 desktop PC, which has only a wired connection, does not connect successfully.

    3. the symptoms of the failure of the desktop connection to are that the link on the router at the start light flashes during initialization of the PC but then will Dim.

    4. when the desktop PC trying to connect to the internet, it fails.

    5 when the desktop PC try to connect to the administration WRT54g page it fails.

    6. when the desktop computer try PIING the router at 192.168.1.1 IP address it fails.

    These points are correct?

    Assuming this is correct, open a command prompt and type

    IPCONFIG/ALL

    The output of the command should provide some information about the current state of the network connection.

    It would be useful that you posted this here release.

    The absence of a link light can be your main symptom and may be due to several reasons. He probably has an associate status "media disconnected" in IPCONFIG for the network connection.

    This could be caused by a bad network cable or a network connection disabled in the properties of the network on the PC. Small jets knowing the ot IPCONFIG output is would help more.

    Post this info if you can.

    Good luck

  • Compaq Presario 5400US - need network drivers for XP Home Edition. Wired connection.

    It woun't connect to internet using a good modem and cable (other PC connect successfully using this same equipment). When I type IPCONFIG, I get 2 results, one for Local Area Connection2 for LAC3. Two of them have 169.254.xxx.xxx IP addresses. Both Suffixes DNS blank and empty default gateways.

    When I go into network connections, the LAC2 says "Limited or no connectivity", but it lists a Linksys LNE 100TX Fast Ethernet Adapter. Linksys? I don't have any Linksys product. LAC3 says 'Connected' with the help of a WAN network driver. However, in the Notification area network connections has the same yellow triangle as LAC2. When I right click the icon in the Notification area and select "Repair" I always get the following ".." following action cannot be completed: renewing your IP address.

    If I right click LAC3 (the one that says 'Connected'), click Properties, click TCP. IP and select Properties, it is set to get an IP address and an address of DNS server automatically. It is also the same for LAC2.

    Client DHCP, DNS Client and call the CPP are started.

    I tried ipconfig/release, ipconfig/registerdns, ipconfig/flushdns, netsh winsock reset. When I run it ipconfig / renew I get messages (after he is sitting there for 2 minutes)
    An error occurred during renewal of the Local 2 network connection interface: unable to contact your DHCP server. Request timed out...
    An error occurred during renewal of the Local 2 network connection interface: unable to contact your DHCP server. Request timed out...

    A run chkdsk /r have run the command netsh int ip reset reset.log.

    So, I went 2 network cards, restarted in the device and removed Manager and let Windows reinstall. Windows creates a new connection to the Local network (LAC4, 2 and 3 are gone). It only reads limited connectivity or none and is using Linksys LNE 100TX Fast Ethernet Adapter, like the previous LAC2. The previous LAC3, who uses the network never got WAN driver reinstalled. I don't understand.

    Since an adapter Linksys on a wired connection seemed odd I have tried to find what should be the correct network driver.

    I google "Compaq Presario 5400US" "driver ethernet" OR "network driver" and was taken to a page of drivers HP, which I think makes sense since HP now owns Compaq
    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/s...UCT=93284#n430
    This page has nothing listed for network or chipset cards.  This, of course, has no meaning for me.

    Can anyone help?

    Select this version from the drop-down list on the link that I posted above.

    Depending on the size of file, it does not resemble an auto install file. Accept the agreement and unzip the file into a folder.

    So, download it to a folder and go to Device Manager.

    Click the network card in need of drivers, and then select manual search for drivers. Navigate to the folder where you extracted the drivers and the driver should install.

  • No wired connection on WRT54GC

    I have a router WRT54GC.  I have no wired connection of the device.  It was working fine and then just stopped.  I noticed that when I unplug the router and let sit for awhile and then try again the connection is there for a few minutes.  A few minutes at least gives me a chance to connect to the router.  All suggested settings are always topical without change.  Free wireless in the minutes also works.  As I sit in front of her suddenly the connection is lost.  Any ideas?

    OK, I thought about it.  The downloaded and extracted from the Linksys site .img file is good.  Download computer is only used to store the file. Download computer isn't able to open the file.  At first, I thought to update the firmware with a unknown file type could lead to losing the administration program.  The router itself includes the .img file.  I downloaded the file in the router and eureka, it works!  The wired connection with the router problem was because I had the Internet connection that is connected to the router.  The initial symptom of distress was a power LED flashing intermittently. Forum of thank you for your help.

  • Static IP address for printer with a wired connection

    My printer (HP7210) is wired connected to my WRT54GL router. 2 computers also have a wired connection, my laptop is connected wireless. All of these computers use the connected printer. 2 computers can only use a static IP address for the printer. How can I set a static IP in my router?

    I don't think that the WRT54GL supports static IP with the stock Linksys firmware.

    The solution is to assign the static IP address to the printer. Most of the printers on network supports the definition of a static IP address manually. The key is to set the static IP address on the printer out of the range the WRT54GL uses for its DHCP server. Sign in to the administration page of your router and see what addresses the range of IP addresses he uses to hand over the IP address of the client. Usually, Linksys likes to start xxx.xxx.xxx.100 and have leases of 50 to 100 a cancelled so to avoid conflict, you can use any IP in the range of xxx.xxx.xxx.002 through xxx.xxx.xxx.099, or through xxx.xxx.xxx.254 xxx.xxx.xxx.201. After configuring the IP static on the printer, you may need to reconfigure all the print drivers that are already installed on client computers so that they can connect to the new static IP address to the printer.

    See the user guide page 140 to learn how to manually change the IP of the HP 7210 printer settings.

    For example try using the next/IP subnet mask if your router is configured to use 192.168.1.100 to its DHCP server setting:

    Use the IP address of: 192.168.1.202

    Use the subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

    Use the gateway: 192.168.1.1

    To change the IP of the control panel settings

    1. press Setup.

    2. press 8and then press 3.

    This selects the Network Configuration , and then IP settingsmenu.

    3. press on until Manual appears, then press OK.

    4. change the IP address, and then press OK.

    5. change the subnet maskand then press OK.

    6. change the default gatewayand then press OK.

  • Color LaserJet Pro M277c6 MFP: MFP M277c6 unable to connect with a wired connection

    Just bought and installed M277c6.  It connects and can communicate via USB and wireless networks.  However it does not work via the WIRED ethernet connection, I need to get this printer works on the WIRED network.

    That's what I see...

    Power on the M277c6 and I see the link on the router port light will blink twice.  However after that the M277c6 has finished loading, the link light goes out and when I print the summary of network - the printer think that the "cable is not connected", but it is connected.

    I tried the following:

    1 tried 3 different network CAT 5 cables (I checked all 3 cables work as I can use them with my office to get on the internet)

    2 tried 4 different ports ethernet on the router (I checked that all router 4 ports work as I can use them with my office to get on the internet)

    3 restarted the router, printer and computer several times

    I also installed the latest firmware from the HP for the M277c6 site and have the latest version of the software on my computer to Win7 64-bit.

    Question:

    1. how to activate the WIRED port that is enabled on the M277c6?

    2. How can I get M277c6 to communicate via ethernet WIRED?

    Appreciate pointers and help...  I also tried to work with HP CAT and both times they took control at distance of my deskop, but have been unable to solve the problems.  Unfortunately, they have disconnected cat, whenever I asked how to get the work of WIRED connection as they both wanted to ONLY get my wireless to work.

    Thank you!

    First thing to try is to reset back to factory defaults. In no joy, I suspect that the Ethernet port is defective in the printer.

  • Wi-wired connections and on the same laptop

    I have a laptop with Windows 7, a Netgear router and DSL internet access. The laptop has two wired network and wireless cards. I have both wireless and wired connections and connected and activated with the Netgear router. There is another laptop computer on my network, here at home, it works under Windows 7 and only uses the connection to my router wireless. When my laptop starts and connects to the router selects the wireless connection, at least that's what appears on the taskbar. Are there advantages or disadvantages with both wired and connections active wireless on my laptop at the same time? Wouldn't be better to have either one or the other active connection?

    Hello Don,

    Thanks for posting your question on the Forum of the Microsoft community.

    It is always very well if you have both wired and wireless connections. Windows automatically uses the one with the highest speed.

    When more than one network connection is available, Windows uses the one with the lowest metric value.  By default, it automatically assigns a metric value based on the rated speed of the network connection.

    Reference:
    An explanation of the Automatic metric for Internet Protocol routes feature
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/299540

    If you want Windows to use a specific network connection, you can assign a metric value for each of them, giving the lowest value to the desired connection. Use the following steps:

    a. press Windows + R and type buttons ncpa.cpl in the run, and then open network connections window.

    b. right click on the desired connection.

    c. click Properties, and then select Internet Protocol Version 4.

    d. click Properties and then click Advanced.

    e. uncheck "Automatic metric.

    f. enter a number between 1 and 9999 for the 'metric of the Interface.

    I hope this information 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.

  • Wired connection slows down when plugged into the laptop

    Hello

    I have a wired connection to my laptop and you have a problem a week that my internet is slow. So I called my ISP and told them on this subject. My ISP says my connection is under FUP (Fair Use Policy - down internet speed when you reach the maximum bandwidth provided by your ISP in the months. - ONLY in the PHILIPPINES that is really annoying and disturbing) anyway, so I tried to stop using my wired connection to date and use the Wi - Fi connection. It went well, I have a fast connection again. And then I tried to connect again to a wired connection that is different from my own wired connection, it is connected to a PC and have a good connection speed. So I connect it to my laptop and expect that it has good connection to check if there are updates in my system. Surprisingly, the internet connection on my laptop was really very slow. I tried to check internet speed using Speedtest and 0.17 to 0.20 Mbps operation. So I removed again and again on the PC. When I checked the speed of connection on the PC, it gives me more than 3 Mbps.

    That's what I've done so far:

    Update drivers / windows

    Active mac address / changed

    Frushed DNS

    and finally tried to reformat and it seems not working do not and have the same problem.

    I have LENOVO IdeaPad S400 Touch with Windows 8 on it.

    What seems to be the problem?

    Thank you!

    Hi Raymel,
