WRT54G V8 wired recently got very slow. Help!

Hello, I have a router WRT54G V8.0. I bought 3 months ago, and it worked very well. But on the last coupe of days, connection speed has become very slow.

The configuration is the following: 2 PCs connected directly by wire and one who is connected through the wireless connection. All three of them use Windows XP.

I plugged the modem directly to a PC and improves the speed a lot. Then, I have only this PC connected through the router (by turning off the wireless connection) and speed goes down, so I'm sure it's the router.

I did a few tests using the speedtest.net site and, with the modem directly connected to the PC, I get 1024 Kbps (my connection) all over the world, but with the router, connection speed drops to 200-400 Kbps depending on how the test server is located. I already had the latest firmware upgrade (8.0.0.5) and I have reset the router back to factory settings, but still really slow speed.

I do not use any firewall on any of the PC, with the exception of default firewall of Windows XP.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

I wish you good luck.  According to my experience, the papers could certainly do.  You would not necessarily feel burning electronics, since if feel you leaving her smoke magic, it would probably not work at all.

I had a router, uncovered, in a somewhat cramped place and it was overheating.  When I removed it from the top of my wife's pc to the top of his office, he speeds up immediately.

Re-flashing the firmware, it is also a good option.  I hope that you get it working again.

  • MacBook Pro (Yosemite 10.10.5) suddenly very slow, Help!

    Hi all, I have recently been faced with a problem hindering my Macbook Pro 13-inch mid-2012. I was using my computer - as I do regularly - watch videos, listen to music, play video games, etc. (the usual activities of the summer), and my computer seems slow down suddenly. The videos are now restless and I have to wait an excruciatingly long time to load. He is fighting same - showing the Rainbow ball of death - when I open a new finder window or a tab on Google. Start the system also takes at least twice as long as he had done before. So I went looking for a solution to the problem. I updated my computer to Yosemite 10.10.5, as I had not updated for a while, erased some decent space on the permissions of my 500 GB HDD (105 GB free space), checked and readers on the disk utility and tested my material on Apple Hardware Test. Nothing I've done seems to fix or help the problem. I got this computer from early 2013 and have had a few problems with the computer, but nothing I couldn't fix easily, so when I couldn't find the solution to my problem with hours of violin, I thought that I would like to ask the community. Is it typical, is there a known solution? If this is not the case, what can help? Let me know if you need additional information about almost anything. Thank you!

    As the title says, my mouse works OK, but the answer is really slow and sometimes the cursor jumps and jerks on.

    I tried to clean it, put new batteries and totally forget and then by reconnecting it to Bluetooth, but it still happens. I even bought another Bluetooth mouse not expensive £10 and it works very well, but obviously this is not as nice as the mouse Magic Mouse from Apple.

  • Need help with performance android... very slow, help please

    Hello guys

    We are developing an application for android and ios

    I use Adobe Flash CC 2015 - Adobe Air 21

    It of kind of big and complicated coding and a lot of Images, loaders, etc...

    in ios, it is almost ok, but in his crappy slow android!

    I mean, it's it takes like 15 sec to even run the application.

    I put the rendering to GPU mode - I use greensock interpolations.

    I have a lot of vectors, bitmaps, so

    I thought about moving to the framework of starling, do you think it helps?

    If so, what codes should settle there?

    I mean that Starling would I use each unique code gives me for parts?

    Touch listeners? or Chargers? or?

    I need to know these because I don't have a lot of time, and it's a loooot so change

    What is the most emotional in the performance and memory management?

    Please let me know if you have a tip

    It is really important

    Thank you very much

    Sam

    There is no single simple answer to optimize performance.

    However, you can usually improve performance by learning how to use cacheAsBitmap and cacheAsBitmapMatrix and they often give the biggest improvement with the least effort.

    Here is an excerpt from a chapter in development of Flash games: in a Social, Mobile and 3D world

    Chapter 7

    Optimize the performance of the game

    Easier to the more difficult to implement

    1. do not use the filters.

    2. always use the reverse for loops and avoid loops and avoid while loops.

    3. explicitly stop timers for their loan for gc (garbage collection).

    4. use the weak event listeners and remove headphones.

    5. strictly type variable when possible.

    6. explicitly disable interactivity mouse when interactivity smile not necessary.

    7. replace dispatchEvents with callback functions whenever possible.

    8 it would be gc stop sounds for the sounds and SoundChannels.

    9. use the DisplayObject most basic need.

    10. always use cacheAsBitmap and cacheAsBitmapMatrix with air applications (i.e., mobile).

    11. reuse of objects when possible.

    12 Event.ENTER_FRAME loops: use different listeners and different listener functions applied to DisplayObjects as little as possible.

    13. the pool instead of creating objects and gc objects ' ing.

    14. use partial blitting.

    15. use step blitting.

    16 use Stage3D.

    Biggest advantage less

    1. Use the blitting Stadium (if there is enough memory system).
    2. Use Stage3D.
    3. Use partial blitting.
    4. Use cacheAsBitmap and cacheAsBitmapMatrix with mobile devices.
    5. Disable explicitly interactivity mouse when interactivity smile not necessary.
    6. Do not use filters.
    7. Use the most basic necessary DisplayObject.
    8. Reuse objects whenever possible.
    9. Event.ENTER_FRAME loops: use different listeners and different listener functions applied to DisplayObjects as little as possible.
    10. Use reverse for loops and avoid the do loops and while loops.
    11. The pool instead of creating objects and gc'ing.
    12. Strictly, type variable when possible.
    13. Use weak event listeners and remove headphones.
    14. Replace dispatchEvents by the callback functions whenever possible.

  • My computer has recently been very slow. I tried to do a system restore, but any date "BOLD", I select, it won't restore. I have done in the past & have this problem.

    I've set up earlier a manual restore date when I did a cleanup, but I don't know how to get back to that either.

    XP system restore should only be used in certain circumstances. Why do you think it's necessary?

    What do you mean by "I did some clean-up?

    There are two main explanations for the failure of the restoration of the system. The first is the presence of malware. The second is a program such as Norton or ZoneAlarm that interferes with the process:

    recently purchased a samsung NX30 camera which came with lightroom 5, after several hours of searching on Google I got it setup properly with the right camera raw to be able to access my raw images. I found that my old laptop is very slow during the processing of hundreds of images that I usually take on a weekly basis.  I bought a new faster laptop, but when I looked for the cd with the software of series and I couldn't find in the mess of Christmas.  I downloaded a trial version of lightroom and got, it works on my new laptop. Is there a way to access the serial number of my version already installed and insert it in the version of track to make it work for me?

    Myron

    If you take the time to register to your original with Adobe installation (which most people do not), you can log in to your Adobe account and get the serial number. If you use a Windows computer and still have access to the old computer where Lightroom is installed, you can do the following:

    1. in the window folder options, make sure that you are able to see hidden folders.

    2. go to the C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Lightroom folder.

    3. use Notepad to open the file, Lightroom 5.0 Registration.lrreg

    You will be able to retrieve your serial number of this file.

  • Download speed very slow on the wired Ethernet connection

    I am currently getting 200 Mbps down and 0.3 MB/s on my desk wired Ethernet connection. I should get 200 down and 20 upwards.

    • On my wireless adapter on the same router, I have ~ 18 Mbit/s to the top and about 15 Mbit/s down, which seems that the wireless adapter works fine.
    • I plugged in another computer with the same cable on the same router port and got the full speed (200/20), then the problem lies within my computer.
    • I made a transfer of files to and from my computer to another computer connected to the same router and I got the full speed Gigabit times come and go.

    I searched high and wide on the internet and forums, and that many people have had the same problem I have, nothing of the multitude of solutions worked for me.

    That's what I tried without success:

    • Uninstalled the Ethernet card, deleted the drivers, forcing the new drivers to install again. No change of speed.
    • Carefully checked for Virus and malware programs (crossed the registry as well), but found nothing, and nothing has been installed recently other than windows updates.
    • The only antivirus I have is Windows Defender. I turned off and turned off the Windows Firewall, but speed did not improve.
    • I tried with IE, Chrome and Firefox, speed with different services and all tests show similar speeds. I also used FTP to a server I have, and the speeds were the same.
    • There is no other traffic devours bandwidth.

    So what I have gathered so far, it's that my Ethernet card works very slow only when downloading from the internet. Within my network, it works fine.

    What is a service that does not work well? If so who? I am not knowledgeable on the use of all services. I checked IPv4 and IPv6 and they both seem to be configured correctly, but I can't say that I am certain of what "correctly configured" is.

    These are my specs:

    HP Desktop H9 - 1215t

    Windows 7 Ultimate SP1

    32 GB OF RAM

    64 bit

    Chip Intel i7-3770

    Controller Atheros AR8161/8165 PCI - E Gigabit Ethernet (NDIS 6.20)

    I would really appreciate some help here because this problem I'm paralyzed.

    Thank you for your time,

    Tom

    By George, you got it!

    For someone who thinks he's good at Googling, I could sure use some improvements!

    The key has been the link to explanation. While I had been close to my tests, this for shows that even when you sort-of-one little-peut-be-think you know what you're doing to keep your legs unless you know EXACTLY what you are doing.

    The answer was definitely Large Send Offload, but it was a little more complicated, at least to understand what really happened. Neutralization of him gave the tour, but now I work with an active v2 and it works like a charm.

    I will detail what, in my opinion, happened here for those who may have similar problems so that they (you) may be able to figure out, as all cards are different and may require slightly different settings.

    I live in an area where so far the download speed over fast, I was able to get is 2 Mbps, on a good day, it's usually on average 1 ~ 1.5 Mbps. download speed is between 5 ~ 20 Mbit/s.

    I do a lot of video work and I constantly have to download large files on my servers. I got the computer described above about 8 months ago, and my Age (2 years) one remained on my home network.

    For a week or two, I was cursing my ISP because the internet was slower than usual and very glitch. I tested my speed and got 20 down and 0.2, repeatedly. So I went through the long and technology-challenged call representative to 'help' me, I was paying for 20/2. Only option was to wait a week for a technician to come out of my house, he stressed have shot my injurybut not before you ask me, that there are faster speeds to internet available in my place. 200/20 which is 10 times what I had, so of course I went with her. In doing so the representative asked me to Exchange my modem/router for a new handle faster speeds.

    When I replaced the modem/router, I found that the download speed went from 50/0.2 (after the new request speed but still with the old router) to 200/0.3~0.5 with the new router. I also had a Cisco E2000 router that I turned into a switch, which was also bogged down internet high speed (now that they have been much faster). But still the download speed has not really improved.

    This long and winding history is so that you (read this with a similar problem) might find the answer to your particular problem.

    Looking back when I said that the issue was in my computer because that became high speed was not quite accurate. The 'problem' was beyond my router, if the solution was in my settings with the LSO parameter. The 'problem' was not really a problem since what I see (guess) that's happened is that my ISP has been updated with equipment, and the settings on my new pc has become a problem while paradoxically not so in my old pc.

    My old pc equipped with a "Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller" and the IPv4 LSO parameter turned on, that she was no problem under the new set of circumstances ISP. 200 / 20 Mbit/s.

    Then when I compared the setting on my new computer, it never crossed my mind that the neutralization of him would solve the problem.

    My new pc has a Atheros AR8161/8165 controller PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet (NDIS 6.20). This adapter has a setting "IPv4 LSO" more setting "IPv4 LSO v2" and "IPv6 LSO v2" décor. I don't think that my ISP uses IPv6.

    In my quest to solve the problem, I placed all of the above settings to "Enabled", without success and in my fog don't reverse these settings.

    With the 3 off, it worked fine, but I got a 5 ~ 10% improvement on the download speed with the LSO IPv4 v2 enabled and the other disabled.

    There is no way representing the service provider on the phone could know this, so calling them would not / has not solved the problem. Even waiting a week for the technician most likely would not have solved the problem as it would be measured using a laptop full download and the download speeds.

    I'm sure this will become a problem most current internet speeds that House are starting to soar (thanks Google!), so I hope this helps those who have similar problems.

    To summarize:

    Click on start->Control Panel->Device Manager->network adapters-> your adapter name (mine is Atheros AR8152/8158 PCI - E Fast Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20), right click and select Properties. On the advance tab, find good Large Send Offload (IPv4) and change its value to disabled , and then click on OK.

    If you have a Large Send Offload (IPv4) v2 try to set that to enable (with either a handicapped of course).

    I hope this helps!

    And thank you George.

    Please download and run a report of EtreCheck and then copy and paste the results into your answer.

    That should reveal the reason why your Mac is slowing down.

    Otherwise, it's just a guessing game.

    Personal data is shared in the report

    One thing you can try since it is slow to start. Open System Preferences > users and groups > login items. Delete a connection point at the time, and then restart your Mac to test.
