WRT160N: Wireless works great, Wired is slow

I replaced my old router from Linksys 8 port with a WRT160N wireless so that my iPhone would have Wi - Fi in the House.  (AT & T network is not great where I live.)

My iPhone yells now, great connectivity.  But my two desktop computers that are connected directly to the router are creepy.  Pages take forever to load, and often don't load graphics.

A friend suggested I hang the wireless on the old router and run at the same time, but I want to get the wireless works fine on its own.

Any suggestions on what I can change to get the router speeds up the performance of the computer cable?

Here is the solution.  I did the downgrade of firmware and everything is working fine.

  • C7250 connected wireless works with wired ethernet PC but not wireless PC

    C7250 installs fine with static IP address and wired (ethernet) PC works perfectly, but is not recognized by the PC wireless.

    Can ping the IP of the PC cable but not wireless computers.

    Can connect to the IP address of the browser and can logon to the wired PCs of wireless computers.

    When the wireless PC is connected to the network with ethernet cable the C7250 works perfectly.

    Firewall is not the issue because I tested with the firewall disabled.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you for your help.

    I FINALLY FOUND a RESOLUTION but let me describe what I've done to isolate the problem so that others will not do the same things I did.

    I used my Windows CE PDA and connected to the wireless router. I made sure that IE could access a different print server wired for a Brother HL-2140 I 192.168.2.10 and it worked. Who checked out that IE was working with a wired device. I then went to Yahoo!, and it worked. Then, I tried to access the C7250 configuration using IP 192.168.2.20 address in IE and it failed. (I checked with my Wired PC I could have access to the configuration of C7250 via IE.) I expected this result.

    Then I connected the PDA via USB and verified that I could use it to access the configuration of C7250 use IE on the PDA and it worked.

    I then tested between two wireless PC. Could not connect to each other through the router. But if one of them has been wired and one wireless they connected and I have consulted the disks between computers. I also tested the two cables with the same results.

    THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE ROUTER.

    These tests again virtually eliminated all PC, firewalls (since I've tested with the firewall disabled), the C7250 and the print server for the HL2140 brother as being the source of the problems.

    I then updated the firmware of the router to the latest version and repeated all the tests carried out in the complete thread and had the same results.

    RESOLUTION:
    The router I was using was a Linksys WRT54GS Ver 1.

    I also had a backup router which is a Linksys WRT54GS 7 worm that had the same settings as the Router 1 worm.

    I changed the SSID of the original router (Ver 1) so I would not need to change the SSID in all my devices during testing with the router Ver 7.

    I checked the firmware on the router worm 7 was the later and pulled up.

    The first test I did was to use a ping wireless PC the C7250 192.168.2.20 and it worked!

    I then used the wireless PC and IE to access the configuration of C7250 192.168.2.20 and it worked!

    I then checked the port for the C7250 was still a TCP/IP port to 192.168.2.20 and sent a test page to the printer and it worked!

    I consulted quickly wireless configuration C7250 and printer a test of a PC cable page and that worked!

    Finally, I tested PC wireless wireless PC PCand wired PC and the dirves successfully in both directions and checked that PC wired to wired PC was still working as before.

    All that remained was to supply two routers and router swap 1 worm with the Ver 7 router and rerun the tests with the router to Ver 7 manage my real network. Everything works as it should.

    I'll keep Router 1 worm as a backup to the Ver 7 knowing router unless the router worm 7 does not only feature that I lose when I reinstall the Router 1 worm is wireless connectivity to wireless, and I can temporarily work around until I get another router that is likely to be a "n" because what is have is ' G;

  • Vista 64 home wireless works not

    I was unable to get the wireless working on my Vista 64 Home machine. Both devices are known to work with Vista 64 bit, and the hardware is functional. I tried to install a card PCI of MSI. When it does not. I thought that perhaps the material was bad and I tried installing one of Belkin USB device, which also did not work. I tested the USB on my laptop XP and had no problems with it. It is functional. I did a clean installation of the operating system, and who did not clear the problem up.

    The aircraft seemed to be installed correctly, but in trying to "Activate" them, they would not allow (I click on enable, and the unit would continue to say it has been disabled) and I would get an error message just saying there is a hardware problem. I tried to update the drivers. I tried the two for the PCI device pci slots and then all the USB to the USB ports and nothing. I have no problem with other hardware, just the wireless. Is there a setting or a component in Vista somewhere that I'm missing? I can't find anyone else having a similar problem when you use one of these wireless devices. They were able to install and use them in Vista 64 without problem. I don't want to go out and spend money on a 3rd device when question seems to be something of another feature WiFi preventing it from working at all. The NETWORK adapter and modem are working on together. I even tried to disable the wired connection, perhaps thinking that it was stuffy on two courses of activation, but that did not fix the problem.

    System: Gateway LX6810 running Vista Home Premium 64-bit

    Tried wireless devices:
    BELKIN F5D7050 Wireless G USB (confirmed working on XP laptop hardware)
    MSI PC60G wireless Turbo G PCI card (not tested elsewhere, assume is functional, since it is the same problem experienced with the working USB adapter)

    I did operate and found that the problem seems to be with Zone Alarm Security Suite. The good news is that this is easily resolved by installing wireless devices before installing ZA. If ZA is already installed, the solution is to uninstall, reboot, install wireless equipment (to confirm that it works of course), then reinstall ZA. ZA commissioning disabling does not work (it must be done in ZA himself. She will not put in service must be disabled the "Selective startup" tool). It must also not be installed at all when the hardware is installed. You can reinstall once you have confirmed that the wireless hardware is installed and functional.

    I found a thread somewhere (wish I could remember the link) where people have had the same problem and in some cases change a registry value sets. In other cases, this fix did not work. A lot of people had functional wireless and then lost and pointed out the problem seemed to start after installation or update of antivirus, security, or anti-spyware program but none mentioned Zone Alarm, which is what I use for my anti-badthings. So I decided to see if the problem is a conflict with this software, and of course, that seems to be the case. I've tried different combinations of installation of the equipment with ZA, off and uninstalled. I had both the USB and the PCI to work, but only if I followed this task sequence.

    1. Uninstall ZA
    2 reset
    3 equipment wireless, and to confirm the work
    4 reboot
    5 install ZA

    For a new installation of the operating system or which 3rd party security software is not already installed, simply jump to step 3. Don't forget to create a restore point after that the wireless works, just in case where.

    For people have the same problem, even without ZA specifically, it's certainly worth trying this if the deactivation of elements of commissioning is not the case. I am able to run the software and the wireless at the same time without problem. ZA has just needs to be installed only after the wireless hardware has been installed successfully.

    I don't know what it is with ZA and Vista that interact to this. I'll go dig deeper on their forums to see if I can't find other useful information. I am pleased to have the son disappeared again. Cords management is always a problem when you share space with rabbits. :-D

  • My laptop is freezing a lot, and when it works it is very slow.

    Original title: cell phone problems

    Hello world

    Well, my problem is that my laptop is freezing a lot, and when it works it is very slow.

    I tried my best to solve the problem, in fact it's the last problem. First it was overheating and blacken, so I dissamblied it and cleaned the fan who had a lot of dust in. That stop over heating and blacken. But there is a DLL error run and a big malware problem, which literally almost turned off the laptop. I fixed using management Acer recovery and restore of factory default.

    My laptop is Windows 7, I did a check thorough for malware using MalwareBytes and BullGuard and they both came back clear.

    I even took it to a computer repair center and they told me that they had it fixed, something they did for software updates. And of course when I got it back, it wasn't freezing, but then a few days later he began occasionally freeze, then gradually increases and now it of freezing of charges and also turn very slowly.

    The type of gel that is is, I can be offline or online and all of a sudden my screen locks and no keyboard commands don't work, the only thing I can do when this happens is to hold down the power button until it stops. Sometimes I load in SafeMode cos it seems Frost less then, but still it does not freeze too often.

    I really don't want to do about it, any advice would be much appreciated.

    I thought it might be a hard drive problem, maybe the Malware it damaged. But I wouldn't be replaced just to find that it freezes again after.

    Also I am upgrading to Windows could help, but I don't know if I can return to Windows 7 if I am not happy with it. I could create a restore point before moving on, but I'm not if this works with decommissioning?

    Run a repair of the win 7 dvd installation.

  • my wireless works everywhere but home

    my wireless to work at the House then we went got a new modem and everything now my wireless does not work. me and my brother have the same laptop and wireless works but mine does not. I, v reset my computer to factory and it simply does not work. It shows the yellow triangle and it says "the connection between your cable modem, router or point of access and the internet is broken" the cord works well. I want to fix someone help me understand how!

    Hello athenabbyy,

    I go to the modem manufacturer website and download the latest firmware update.
    Then try again and see if your wireless network connects. The wireless is turned on the laptop?
    Most laptops have a switch that shows how wireless setting is enabled.
    See the Web page of the notebook computer manufacturer to see if you have a wireless settings.

    Your brother brought his laptop to your home to test and see if it can connect from there or he gets there a mistake? This step will help you determine if the issue might be with your ISP or your computer.

  • Toshiba Satellite A665D-S5175... wireless works fine on AC, but not on battery

    Satellite A665D-S5175... I loaded windows 8 preview... I was really in LOVE... Afterwards, I had to reformat back to the original "out of the box" due to windows 8 not to recognize seagate hard drive (even if the compatibility check does not list)... Since then my wireless internet works fine when on the current but will not work on battery... my battery works fine and wireless works fine on all my other wireless devices... can't help but to think it's some type option to power supply but I can't find it to save my life... Help! Toshiba wants to much $$ to ask me this? their staff... I don't HAVE a big $$$ LOL! Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this...

    Hello

    Change the power setting on default battery for the wireless network adapter. Configure the wireless network adapter to use the maximum performance setting when Windows Vista or Windows 7 is configured to use the balanced power plan or the power saver Power plan. To do this, follow these steps:
    1. click on start
    2 type Power Options in the start search box, and then click Power Options in the list programs.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
    3. click on change settings for the plan under the management of the diet that is selected. For example, if the balance is selected, click on change settings under balanced plan.
    4. click on change advanced power settings.
    5. in the Power Options dialog box, expand wireless adapter settings, and then power saving Mode.
    6. in the list that appears next to a pile, click performance, and then click OK.
    For more information, see the link.
    You may experience connectivity problems or performance issues when you connect a portable computer that is running Windows Vista or Windows 7 to a wireless access point

  • HP PhotoSmart D110 - Wireless work not at all

    I can't believe it! I bought a PhotoSmart D110 and it worked fine for 3 months. Now, I'm very frustraded. Whenever I need to print something from any of my computers at home wireless, I need to put the printer off, wait a few minutes and turn again. Then I print 4 pages and I need to do it again. So annoying!

    I've tried everything! Reinstalled the drivers on my MacBook. Reset the factory settings on the printer control panel. Update the firmware of the printer. Update my firmware wireless (which is a Linksys EA-2700).

    I don't know what else I can do about it.

    I did research on many Foruns on the internet for some tips and there are tons of people complaing to the same problem, not only on this model, but also a whole bunch of other HP printers.

    And yuou know what... There is no response from your HP.

    Common CV, you used be better! What is going on? Not sure how to solve the problem of your customer! You sell a "disposable" printer that only works for 3 months?

    What should I do? Buy another printer? If this is your solution, do not expect that I will be your customer again!

    Rembember that 'no response' is the worst response you can give to your customers!

    And don't be afraid of social media... Open your Facebook Page for people to post their opinion. Or at least send a response when someboday tweet @HP... I'm still waiting!

    Looking forward to hearing from you SOON with a solution!

    Hey, thanks for your response.

    I tried to do, but it did not work, however I found another way and until now my wireless works. Finnaly.

    Here's what I did on my Mac.

    (1) on my system preference, I clicked on the icon 'Print & Scan'. I remove my printer by clicking the (-) signal. Just for the record, I didn't uninstall the HP printing software, but clearly myself as I got the latest version (as you mentioned in your response);

    (3) I printed my HP printer (directly) config page on the Panel. To find the IP address of my printer.

    (2) I click on the (+) sign of the signal, and then I clicked on the option "add a printer or a scanner. On the prompt box, I chose the "Intellectual property" tab (with a globe);

    (3) on the address field, I inserted my IP address of the printer (the same that I found on the page that I printed on my printer).

    (4) HERE IS THE MAGIC: on the Protocol drop-down list there are 3 options: "IPP", "LPD" and "HP Jetdirect - taken.

    YOU MUST CHOOSE "HP Jetdirect - Socket" - it's Important for a configuration of the House, okay?

    (5) waiting-I left empty

    (6) name = name of my printer 'HP Photosmart D110' but you can add what you want

    (7) location = you can leave it blank. I added "Home".

    (8) use = assigned automatically

    (9) i clicked on 'ADD '.

    (10) may be another box will ask you to select a driver to associate with your printer. In my case, I choose "HP Photosmart D110 series.

    FACT!

    Now, it's work and I hope it lasts forever!

    I hope this helps others with the same annoying problem.

    And HP, please make our lives easier! Create a better explanation or software that make it happen automatically.
