BEFW11S4 max wireless download speed?

What is the maximum download speed that can be achieved wirelessly with the BEFW11S4 router?

Thanks for the reply. When I hook my laptop up to the router with a wired connection, I'm getting 4.5 Mbit/s download speed. However, when I'm connected through the wireless connection I'm only getting 1.5 Mbit/s. After doing an internet search, it seems like there can be a lot of things causing this. Any ideas of what to try first to improve my wireless download speed? The hardware involved is the router mentioned, a Dell XPS M140 laptop running XP, and Qwest DSL.

Wireless Download speed much slower than it should be

Wireless Download speed on Belkin N300 is only 1.5 mps and hard wired speed is 50 mps. Firmware is up to date, what else can I do?? What is the Wireless Router that Comcast recomends??

A Verizon Tech support employee helped solve the issue. Apparrently we still had the same plan when we started and were only getting 768 kbps download and were paying like $21 dollar for it. So we are going to upgrade and get the starter plan and pay $20 a month and get 1 MB download. I might even get the 3 MB download plan.

Wireless downloading speeds dropped

Hi,
Really unsure about tech stuff but on 24/09/2014 had major issues with my wireless speed dropping hugely. The night before was able to stream TV, play games and many other activitives at the same time. The following morning found that every device I own on the property had close to 0 connection speeds though signal strength was good. Did the BT wholesale speed check found my wireless download speed was less then 1 on other occasions less than 0.1. When the ethernet was connected to the router speeds were over 37mbps so its clearly my wireless. Did the inssider check and my link score is 71, Im on channel 6 atm. Not sure if anyone has had similar issues and resolved them, BT told me the fault was on my property but seems a bit flippant as the change was so dramatic and occurred overnight. Any help would be grateful.,

Which Homehub are you using?
Try a different channel.

WRT1900ac wireless download speeds are mine good?

Hey guys,
I am pretty new to all of this so please be patient with me. I recently downloaded an app to my Nexus 5 to test my wireless download speeds. It has you set up a server on your PC and then download a 100 meg file (or larger if you want). So if I understand correctly I am truly testing the wireless download speeds and not the internet. In either case here are my results:
5ghz - link speed 433Mbps, average dowload speed 250Mbps/s
2.4ghz - link speed 72Mbps, average download speed 54Mbps/s
Are these numbers good? What is average for the wrt1900ac? I had the 5ghz set to mixed and the 2.4ghz is set to N. Oh, BTW I was only about 6 feet from my router. Thanks

Why max WiFi download speeds are only 20-25 Mbps

I raised the issue of why my wifi speed on the Xoom is limited to 20-25 Mbps on the Motorola Forum and there is an informative thread on the topic. If you are interested take a look.

No cordless phone (two iPhones and two iPads though). It does have one or two walls on line of sight. A few wireless door security zones. And a large china cabinet that my wife sure wouldn't let me move. Do any of these sound significant enough to drop the dowload from 30Gb to .1GB...while upload stays consistent. I have had better signal strength through two walls 100 feet out from my house, havent tried recently though. I am suddenly aware as my switch is acting up and i had to use wifi on my xbox.

TS1398 Why Wireless Download Speeds so Slow?

My iPad 3, MacBookPro and Apple TV have been suffering with poor connection speeds lately. Connect the MacBook to the Internet using Ethernet and it works fine. Here's the funny thing, when I run speedtest from either device, my download speed is horrible, but the upload speed is normal for my ISP.
I'm suppose to get 10 down and 1 up. This data below is from the speedtest app on the iPad. As you can see, I don't run this app too often. What it does show the horrible numbers.
I've ruled out my ISP. I don't have another wireless router to check against, but before I go out and spend another hundred, I thought I would check if anyone else is experiencing this type of issue. NetGear, my router manufacture claims since the release of iOS 6, user have been experiencing connection issues.
If anyone at least can offer maybe additional tests, router settings, etc., I would greatly appreciate it.

You use 3g wifi with your computer? I don't think so. I'm not saying it isn't possible; I just doubt it's the case since that basically means you have your computer tethered to a cell phone. If that is the case, let me know.
If you're getting the same speed whether you're using wifi or ethernet, it's because your download speeds are bottlenecked at/throttled by your ISP, not your in-home hardware.

Wireless Download Speed Less Than Half As Fast As My Upload Speeds

Is anyone else having this problem: I use Verizon Fios and currently have their 50/50 plan. When I go to speedtest.net to check my speed I see that I'm only getting about 14 Mb download speeds but 42 Mb upload speeds. I have checked my speeds on wired connection and get about 38-40Mb. My Specs:HP HPE-400yUsing the Ralink driver for Windows 7 (http://www.mediatek.com/en/downloads1/downloads/pcimpcicbrt2860rt2760rt2890/)I'm running Windows 7 (64-bit)PC is not more than 25ft from the router, almost a direct line of sight Any advice or help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Your noise margin is on the high side and this will also affect your speed. you will need to have a stable connection for a further day ie 3 days in total before you can contact the mods.
Hi conrad also the line is very short look at the attenuation figure as Keith has posted the reduction in noise margin would achieve nothing on adlsmax as the connection is already at its maximum but gives spare noise margin when the op gets on to adsl2+

E2000 max wireless-n speed 72 Mbps?

I just bought a refurbished E2000 wireless-n router with 1 Gb LAN ports (from Cisco online).
This router is meant to replace my Netgear wireless-n router that only have 100 Mb LAN ports.
I have 10 devices in my home network, 6 of them are using wireless (1 'g' and 5 'n') and 4 are interconnected with cat5e cables (trough the router).
The devices have some different operating systems and their network adapters are from different brands.
When I set up the Netgear router I didn't have to adjust anything for the wireless network to work fine.
All wireless-n devices worked at 150 Mbps (sometimes going down shortly to 130 Mbps).
The wireless-g device worked at 54 Mbps.
For the last 2 days I've been trying to set up the E2000 to achieve a wireless-n speed higher then 72 Mpbs... without success.
I tried all the suggestions that I found in the Cisco Knowledge Base.
- Upgrading the firmware to the latest version
- Trying different channels and channel widths
- Different wireless security methods
and many others.
Also trying different settings on the different devices doesn't help.
Changing the distance between router and devices as well as changing the location of the router don't affect the results.
Switching on only 1 device at a time doesn't change anything either.
It looks like the E2000 is set to not transmit on a higher speed than 72 Mbps, when it's actually supposed to achieve a wireless-n speed of up to 300 Mbps. I would be lucky if I get the half of it, but not if it's only one fourth.
Is there some hint somebody can give me?
Thanks!

According to the information that you provided in your post that after upgrading the firmware you didn’t reset the Router to factory default and configured again…. So reset the router power cycle the whole network and then reconfigure it again… As well as update the drivers of the WLAN card installed in the wireless computers….
So if you want to configure the Router with the help of the Cisco Connect Software then…
You need to uninstall the existing Cisco Connect Software from the computer if there...
Reset the Router and power cycle the network...
Make the following connectivity: Connect the Modem with the Router on the Internet port and then connect the Computer with any one of the Ethernet port of the Router (Numbered 1, 2, 3 and 4)... Then install the Cisco Connect Software...
It will help you in configuring the Router...
But if you want to configure it manually the follow the following steps…

Wireless Router Dropping download speeds

I have a WRT310N router. Ever since upgrading to Snow Leopard, my wireless download speeds decrease the further I get away from the machine. While my signal indicator is full strength, my speed drops from 16mbps download to just around 1-2mbps. I've upgraded to the latest firmware, turned off any potentially conflicting wireless devices (baby monitor, Wii, etc) and nothing seems to effect. Interestingly, my upload speeds remain uneffected.
Any ideas?

Did you reset the router after upgrading the router's firmware..If not then,reset the router and reconfigure it from the scratch.

Wireless downloads slower with BT Infinity

I recently upgraded from BT Broadband (ADSL2+ with BT Home Hub 1.0) to BT Infinity. I installed and switched over to the new BT Home Hub 3 before the BT Openreach engineer came, as I was worried about how wireless networking would work as the Hub had to be in a different location from the previous one.
I then ran some Broadband performance tests http://speedtester.bt.com/ to see how well the new arrangements worked. The upload speeds from my main PC (with a wireless N adapter) were in the previous range of 700 – 800 Kbps. The download speeds on average seemed a little slower than before at the 5 – 7 Mbps range, although I did achieve a new peak of 11 Mbps in the late evening.
After the switchover to BT Infinity, I ran the tests again. The upload speeds were very consistent and in the 7 – 8 Mbps range. The download speeds were in the 3 – 7 Mbps range, with most towards the lower end of this range.
I also ran a test late in the evening using a Netbook with an Ethernet connection to the Hub. This slightly exceeded the expected speeds for the BT Infinity service, with over 8 Mbps for uploads and over 35 Mbps for downloads. On the old Hub with the Netbook and Ethernet connection I had got 670 Kbps for the upload speed and over 12 Mbps for the downloads.
Does anybody know why the wireless download speeds reduced after the switchover to BT Infinity? Is it a settings issue, a software bug, some other fault, or a feature of Home Hub 3 and BT Infinity? It does seem very strange that the upload speed over a wireless connection is faster than the download speed, as well as being much more consistent.

Dont know about that, but I have had my Infinity for a year now, and the guy who set it up said, that if I go wireless, then my speed will drop.

Why slow wireless download Macbook Pro Bootcamp Xp Leopard

Problem: wireless download speed is much slower running windows Xp on a macbook pro (bootcamp) than when running OS X. Example OS X = 1,164 KB/sec download, 496 upload vs Xp = 265 KB/sec download, 940 KB/sec upload.
I have a Macbook Pro Duo Core running OS X 10.5 with the newest Boot camp drivers for windows installed. Test was done using Speakeasy speed test, Safari/Explorer 7.
funny how only the download speed is slow under Xp, not the upload speed.
thanks for any help,
Paul

Here's a solution that worked for me, my chipset is a Broadcom 802.11n (4328). It's a 24" iMac (Pre Alu).
Hopefully it helps others. Broadcom have updated WHQL drivers (picked mine up from here, they have Vista versions on there too) and it was just a case of installing those and changing 2 settings.
Changing IBSS mode to 802.11a/b/g/n Auto:

New w520 has erratic download speeds

I bought a w520 last week. It's a lovely machine, but unfortunately it's frequently had terrible wireless download speeds straight out of the box. Wired, it was 11+ Mbps. Wireless, I've hit a high of 6+ and a low of .2. It is extremely common for me to get between .2 and .75 Mbps. Our two desktops get 6+. Our 8-year old laptop gets 6+ when sitting right next to the new laptop. I've been testing using bandwidthplace.com.
Anyone have any ideas? I've got three weeks to figure this out - that's when NewEgg's return window closes.
Thanks!

Time capsule download speeds are slow

iMac <======>Time capsule (bridge mode) <=====> 10/100 ethernet switch <====> Comcast router/modem Arris TG862
Multiple iDevices are wirelessly connected to Time capsule because Arris TG862 couldn't handle more than 10 wireless devices without kicking them off.
Time capsule is in bridge mode, 4th gen, 7.6.4.
Have been running this configuration for over a year and download speeds @ 50Mbs for the iMac that is wired to the time capsule and an iMac that is wirelessly connected to time capsule. AppeTV is hardwired to 10/100 ethernet switch as well, and has never had a problem before download / streaming movies.
In the past week, the wired download speed of the iMac has crawled down to 5-6 Mbs. Wireless connections are .5-1 Mbs.
I have unplugged all devices, waited 10 mins, plugged in router/modem, waited 5 mins, plugged in switch, waited 1 min, plugged in TC, waited 5 mins, ran a test on Speedtest.net - still getting 5 Mbs wired and slower on wifi. If I unplug the ethernet cable from the TC (WAN) and plug it into the iMac directly, I get 57 Mbs download speed on Speedtest.net. Why would the TC suddenly be slowing down download speeds. In all configurations, the upload speed is still 10-11 Mbs. It appears that only download speeds are affected. Any suggestions?

Yes, I've tried moving the ethernet cable from the iMac to a different LAN port on the TC. Same slow speed. The wireless download speeds are slow too, seems like the WAN connection is "throttling" download speeds no matter if it's wired or wireless.
I have pressed the reset button on the back of the TC until the front light blinks amber. Then I went thru the setup to have it connected Ethernet, Bridge mode, create a wireless network, and DHCP from the router. I got 12 Mbs download speed for the wired connection after doing this the first time. Fifteen minutes later I tested it again using Speedtest.net and the download speed for the wired connection had fallen to 5 Mbs. I unplugged the TC, waited a half hour, held the reset button down while I plugged it in, went thru the setup again, and still had a download speed of only 4 Mbs when I was done.
I assumed if the switch on the TC went bad that it wouldn't work at all, not just be slow.
Any other suggestions?

Wireless download 5Meg/sec but ethernet only 20Meg/sec

I just installed Fios internet using a Verizon modem/wireless router. Other iMac gets wireless download speed of 20meg/sec, but my Powerbook G4 gets only 5meg wirelessly but 20meg with ethernet. Is there anything I can do to improve the wireless speed of the Powerbook?

A recent firmware upgrade has upset the internal configuration, try resetting the home hub to factory default, and it may sort the problem out.
There is an existing thread about this issue.
