WRT160N - slow WiFi

My wired connection is fine.

The beach is very well at 100 percent.

My wireless download speed is horrible.

I did not bring any changes to one of the parameters, because I don't know a lot about routers.

Any help is appreciated.

On your configuration page of the router, on the tab without thread below, change the "Width" and "Channel" to AUTO, and then change the Security Wireless WPA Personal Mode, and then try to connect to your wireless network...

If it still does not, then I think that you need to update the firmware on your router. You can download the firmware on the Linksys website and download the firmware on it. Once the firmware is downloaded on your router, you must reset your router and reconfigure all the settings in this topic from scratch.

  • Slow WiFi

    I have a slow WiFi connection. I use a newer MacBookPro and have no ethernet to make a direct connection. I had a router to the South, but just before he went to the South, I was getting 220Mbps down speeds and I just got a new modem D-Link and he got setup one moment I'm stuck on 23Mbps. My other MacBook which is oldest to 125Mbps downwards. My desktop Mac mini becomes the same as my remarks 23Mbps Pro. If I connect directly the mini I get a compatible 220Mbps speed. I've been with comcast today and they don't see any problems with a direct link and 220Mbps, and my other book on wifi getting an Im 123Mbps sure that the issue isn't with comcast. I don't know what settings are now the speed down. I know that this is not the new router either because I have an old router which is at the same speed but the router that went towards the South allowed me to get the 220Mbps via wifi when it was working fine. The D-Link is new and seems to be ok. My other was a router Netgar N900. The D-Link is the AC-3150, a pretty radical router. The interface is a bit different, but it has the same information as the other routers.

    IM pretty good setting up networks, but this one has pulling me my hair out.

    I can't connect directly, otherwise I'd do it but why with a laptop. I also connected directly with my mini and who then shared and still only got 23Mbps speeds. My service is minimum 150Mbps downwards.

    Someone has an idea of what might be wrong. I reset and rebooted several times. My connection is DHCP but I did no changes using this or static. I checked the settings between the two laptops, and there is nothing else that I can see.

    I need help.

    Fixed a problem. I have the new D-Link AC3150 Ultra WiFi router. It is supposed to be an intelligent router that gives you the best radio for the fastest speeds available. Maybe it's not so smart after all. I disabled the smart function and configuring a dual network. One for the other for 5G and 2.4 g. I put the 2.4 for older speeds and 5G for speed N/AC Protocol. After setting this up, I chose the 5G network and now my speeds are shouting along to 224Mbps and solid as a rock.

    Other than to be not so smart at least on a Mac platform I see no problem still with this router. I will pass along this information for D-Link. If you purchased one of these and your speed is way slower than expected then you need disable the smart function and have just two separate networks. Catch 5G as it is young, but don't forget that you only let the speed N or AC. Don't let not default on older slower speeds.

  • Satellite L50 - B has slow WiFi speed

    Hello

    I got this laptop last month but I'm really disappointed because it was a bloody slow wifi connection.

    I've already updated my wireless drivers, but nothing happens. The funny thing is I have an another old laptop, but it has a speed great wifi.

    I already try to do a speedtest of them both in the same place at the same time but my acer got 10-15mbps but my toshiba receives only 1-2 Mbps and it is very frustrating.

    I have a Qualcomm Atheros AR956x Wireless Network Adapter and I have read a few problems with this adapter. Please if someone who can help me with my problem.

    I'll sort to buy an external wifi adapter if necessary.

    Using some devices Bluetooth as part of this Satellite phone?
    Bluetooth is turned on? If so, turn the Bluetooth off and test the performance of the WiFi.

    I read in some discussions that the simultaneous use of WiFi and Bluetooth may affect the performance of the Wifi.

  • Slow WiFi with Broadcom 4322

    After upgrading my laptop HP DV7 with Windows 8, I found my wireless connection was extremely slow. My card is a Broadcom 4322AG. This seems to be the same problem as has been in the forum


    Slow WiFi with Broadcom 4322 and Windows 8 CP.

    Following the advice in this forum, I changed to TKIP AES security and everything seems to work properly.

    Thanks a lot for sharing your solution! My problem was that I downloaded at least 1 Mbit/s and transferred approximately 15 Mbps. Then I changed to TKIP, just as you said and now I'm moving 21 Mbps of download and 19 Mbps downloading. All this on a MacBook 5.1 :)

  • WRT160N very slow wifi compare to wired

    Hey guys thanks for the help on this one.

    The answer could be as simple as: get a new router. but lets give it a try. I have read many many post about how to optimize the speed of the router, but none has worked so far.

    I had a large wired Internet connection that strikes between 45 and 60 MB/s

    http://www.Speedtest.net/result/2029093668.PNG

    wifi is crazy slow on Macbook pro, Iphone and iPad stay between 3 and 8 Mbps...

    I tried to change all of the specs, did the firmware update...

    is there a configuration perfect with the new firmware?

    Let me know because now, I am naïve and I can't find anything else on the web

    See you soon

    You try the following settings:

    # Open the browser and in the address bar type 192.168.1.1 which will open the gateway configuration page.

    # Bring back the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) of 1500 to 1400 or less (usually located on your main configuration page / database routers). Here is the link to determine and implement the right size MTU: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=fbf8e8564632422eaa8ea80bf9dcba64_386.xml&pid=80&re...

    # Make that channel 1, 3, 6, 9, 11...

    Settings wireless #Adjust the following:

    ~ ~ Reduced from 100 to 75 beacon interval

    ~ ~ Lower the threshold of fragmentation of 2346 to 2306

    ~ ~ Lower 2347 to 2307 RTS threshold

    Then check the status of the connectivity.

  • slow WiFi with 7.6.7

    I have the extreme of the airport which has been upgraded to 7.6.7.  Since upgrading my wifi connections are slow.  If the 2 devices are on the wifi at the same time the second device running very slowly.  This problem did not exist before the 7.6.7 upgrade.

    How can I fix this problem?

    Have you thought to go back to the previous version of the firmware as a possible solution? Or do you want to try it first to other things?

    Users discover that the firmware update will not fix a problem that they did not... but sometimes, it will create a new they had not before.

  • Slow wifi transfer rates with Airport Extreme network.

    I have an Airport extreme Rev 5 and am trying to transfer files between 2 Mac on the network. Everything works fine, but the transfer speed is only about 2.5 meg per second. Should get more than that?

    Everything works well, I get my full bandwidth from my ISP (11.8 Mbps) when downloading via wifi, it s just during the transfer of files within the wifi network that things are slowing down.

    Thanks for any help

    Tim

    Wireless is inefficient when you double jump... This means that... both computers are transfer of files via the Wi - Fi because wireless deals actually double the packages... So he immediately reduces speed by 50%.

    Let us ensure that we are using right units first.

    1. your download from the internet is measured in bits per second... Please use b for forests.

    2. your file transfer is measured in bytes per second... Please use B for bytes.

    So, if you look at the monitor of activity... a copy of computer file wireless to NAS (ethernet) ran at 38-40 MB/s

    If I transfer to another computer that is also the wireless speed would be halved. Or worse... (see below, even with AC wireless is far worse) depends on the slower links.

    So how do you measure the speed of file transfer and is it bits or bytes per second?

    What is the speed of connection on each computer.

    Hold down the option key and click on the fan wireless.

    You can see that this computer has a 450Mbps link speed... It will never transfer files to that more than half, but you wait for connections at full speed to get the best links.

    My new computer...

    So if I transfer the computer file to another, it looks like this.

    Even with that wireless, it's much slower than the SIN that has ethernet and spinning drive... The computer has SSD.

  • the Airport extreme, giving a slow wifi connection

    Hello

    I've got my download speed of 200 Mbps cable company. I checked a good signal by plugging directly in he back of the Modem (to remove the photo Airport extreme wifi.) ... I have 221Mbps actually...

    However, once I'm going to plug in the Airport Extreme and text my speed on wifi, I get only between 24 Mbps or max after several trials of 54 Mbps on download... I should get just under 200 Mbit/s because of the normal fall through wifi... However, not to the extreme I loss I get...

    Tuesday Apple Support has helped me to perform a reboot of the router and I have been good to get 198Mbps... It is here 2 days later and I'm back down to 24 Mbps...

    I tried to redo the reboot: unplug the unit, hold down the reset button, then while holding down the reset button, add power on and continue now stuck until it flashes yellow... But curiously, after it flashes it goes straight to the green... (never asking me to airport utility to add a password)

    My Wifi speed stink...

    What continues with this device... anyone have recommendations?

    I already proved the cable line and the modem (with the support of motorola)...

    Thank you

    Most likely you have a faulty AirPort Extreme. Please ask Apple to replace this unit for you.

    If you wish to renew a reset, follow the instructions very carefully:

    Turning off AirPort Extreme

    Wait 7 - 8 seconds

    Hold the first reset button... and hold in an additional 7 to 8 seconds while simultaneously you reconnect the power on the AirPort Extreme.

    Release the reset button to zero after the period of detention

    Allow a minute for the AirPort Extreme restart. The light will be Orange fixed for 15-20 seconds about, then turn to flashing orange slowly after about 30 seconds

    A slow amber flashing light... about once per second... confirms that the airport has been reset and you can set it up again.

  • Satellite C50-B16T - slow WiFi connection using battery power

    Hello

    I have a new Satellite C50-B16T and discovered that when I take it off the power, wifi is slowing down as HELL, to the point that I can't even use it and have to connect it to the power.

    I saw a few solutions on a TX adjustment, but my Satellite actually doesn't have this option, and if this is the case, I don't know how to find it and why it is happening.
    Would really appreciate if anyone has any suggestions, since my laptop is now essentially a desktop all the time, which makes its pretty useless goal...

    Go to-> WLan card device manager-> properties-> tab power management

    Here, uncheck the option that allows the system to disable or control the unit in order to save energy.

    Also check the tab 'Advanced' for possible energy saving options.

  • WNDR3700 very slow wifi

    Seems all of a sudden that my wireless is slow and weak.

    I get download speeds of 60 Mbit/s connected to the desktop via the router, but only about 10 with wifi. Router is 2pi away.

    I looked in the settings and tried a few things but no help at all. Hope someone has some ideas, thanks

    I did download speed tests using residential Road Runners speed test. Only 10 Mbps over 60 wired wireless

    This is a problem that happens all of a sudden.

    Did a reset and still poor wireless network. Tried to change channels once or twice as suggested on various sites. No effect at all. Cell phones would connect only barely 3 ft away from the modem. I think it is just wore out

    Purchased a new WNDR4300 and works perfectly out of the box
