BEFW11S4 wired LAN speed

I have an old BEFW11s4 wireless router that is used 99% of the time wired. The firmware on it is from July 2003, and there are no markings that I see WRT the version.
I have tested the speed of my broadband connection thru the router and directly connected to the modem. The modem gives me 18+ mps, while thru the router its 11mps max.
My question is, is this the max speed I can ver get from this unit or is there some setting I need to change or firmware I need to upgrade to??
Since I am recently unemployed, I would rather not have to buy another router.
Regards
Toshu

Well personally I like to keep all of my devices to the current firmware and I don't see how it is glichy, I don't see any other firmware for this router that you would want or help your problem.
If you want that much more speed out of your router it looks like you might have to buy a new one that model is kinda old, But if money is tight like it is for every one else you can just hang on to it for a bit longer and get a new one at a later time.
I don't think you are going to find any firmware that give you that much of a improvement, I would update your firmware though don't quote me but I think the problems with that update were resolved.
Sorry
I'm editing this to just say again I highly recommend getting the latest firmware.

  • E4200V2 slow wired LAN speeds

    Set up my new E4200V2 last night, everything appeared to be working but while streaming videos over wired LAN I get short hiccups over wired. While streaming videos, a few second long pause is really, distracting, this is a deal breaker and my previous router (DIR-655) had no issue streaming any videos. The wiring has not changed, only the router.
    So onward to trying to lock down the problem.
    I set up a ping between two wired linux boxes, and get:
    64 bytes from 192.168.0.5: icmp_seq=65 ttl=64 time=0.184 ms
    64 bytes from 192.168.0.5: icmp_seq=66 ttl=64 time=0.180 ms
    64 bytes from 192.168.0.5: icmp_seq=67 ttl=64 time=0.566 ms
    64 bytes from 192.168.0.5: icmp_seq=67 ttl=64 time=10.52 ms
    Whoa, 10 ms over gigabit LAN. This is crazy, but doesn't tell us much. The 10 ms was one out of hundreds of pings, so its only intermittant. This might explain the hiccups, but this router doesn't appear to log anything, so its hard to say.
    Next was scp transfers, which never exceed 15MB/s, in either direction. For gigabit, wired LAN this is awful, with my previous DIR-655 I would get at the very least 40 MB/s, in all situations.
    Next up, iperf. I set up iperf on the two hosts, and iperf reports reasonable gigabit speeds
    3] local 192.168.0.5 port 48303 connected with 192.168.0.3 port 5001
    [ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth
    [ 3] 0.0-10.0 sec 1.10 GBytes 941 Mbits/sec
    and on the iperf server:
    4] 0.0-10.0 sec 1.10 GBytes 940 Mbits/sec
    I have tried the following solutions:
    Firmware: its the newest firmware, as of last night (Feb 14) 2.0.36 build 126507 2011-12-23 01:39  
    MTU - I adjusted this to 1400, 1492, 1450, set to auto, no difference
    QoS - I enabled this as someone reported QoS being off would throttle certain transfers, no difference
    I added both the MAC addresses of the two linux boxes as High Priority in QoS, no difference
    I'm running out of things to try. Tonight I am thinking of reverting to an old firmware, doing a hard reset and seeing if it persists, and if no ideas come up in this forum, it is getting returned, 15MB/s over gigabit lan is terribly broken.
    Any ideas?
    Xian

    Try these troubleshooting steps:
    A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
    1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
    2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
    3] Then click on security and disable the SPI firewall.
    B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the username field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.
    Hope it will help you.
    Second, you can reduce the speed of the LAN card as well. 
    Here is the step:
    START--> right-click My Network Places and click Properties
    right-click on the device and click properties
    Click on the CONFIGURE button
    Select the ADVANCED tab and the settings you can alter are listed on the left.
    Try to make the LAN speed to manual speed.

  • BEFW11S4 wired connection too slow

    My ISP provided advertised speed is 8Mbps. Direct connect to modem I measure 8.5Mbps. Wired connection to router only runs at 4.1Mbps. I am lastest firmware for this version. I am using DHCP to obtain IP from my ISP.
    Please advise.

    Your router was designed back in the days when 1.5 Mbps was a fast Internet connection.  It's not built for today's higher connection speeds.   If you worked on it, you might be able to get your BEFW11S4 up to 5 or 6 Mbps, but probably not more than that.
    It's time to buy a new router.
    Here is a web site that claims that they can measure the "WAN to LAN" speed of a router:

  • Very slow LAN speed

    I have a "MI424WR" router. Various pages say it has speeds up to 12 mebabyte/second transfer rate, but I am only getting no more then 3mb/s ever.
    I have 1 desktop that is wired and 1 laptop that uses wireless
    Help is apprecitated

    Since you refer to slow LAN speeds, I assume you're referring to a transfer between the wired desktop PC and the wireless laptop.
    Any transfer between the two is going to be constrained by the slowest component, which is your wireless connection.
    You said you're getting "Mob/s".  I'm not clear if you're referring to megabits or megabytes.
    If that number is megabytes, that's about average for a wireless-G connections.
    MOB/sec (note the caps) * 8 bits/byte = 24Mbps  
    If you meant 3Mbps, then you're probably dealing with a wireless interference issue and should look at the usual wireless troubleshooting issues, such as changing the channel, eliminating sources of interference, etc.

  • MI424WR – Rev I LAN Speeds

           I'm trying to figure out if the LAN speed on Actiontec MI424WR – Rev I is it 10/100 or 10/100/1000 ? If it is 10/100/1000 how to I go about getting verizon to send me a router that works correctly, Asking because I just got off the with them and they could not even tell me the speed of the LAN ports, all they wanted to talk about was my internet speed I did try to
    explain that my question had nothing to do with that to no avail.
    Thanks for the assistance

    You can download the Rev I user manual here:
    http://www.verizon.com/cs/groups/public/documents/adacct/vz_bhr3_rev_i_user_manual.pdf
    If you look on page 9 you'll see "Integrated wired networking with 4-port 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet switch and MoCA."
    And on page 15: 
    The LAN Ethernet ports connect devices to the FiOS Router via Ethernet cables 
    to create a local area network (LAN). The LAN Ethernet ports are 10/100/1000 
    Mbps auto-sensing ports, and either a straight-through or crossover Ethernet 
    cable can be used when connecting devices to the ports.
    In addition, as I mentioned earlier, you should be able to see the labels 10/100/1000 around the LAN ports on the router, showing the LED indication at which speed a device is connected.
    Both On=1G!
    It's sad if Verizon tech support doesn't know this, and I can't understand that, but it is what it is.

  • Unable to see Shared Folder / Drop Box on wired LAN

    I am unable to connect to another Mac on my wired LAN (Netgear wndr3700), and it is unable to connect to my machine. We cannot see each others’ Public Folder / Drop Box.
    We can see each others Macs in the Shared section of the Finder’s sidebar, but trying to connect fails: “The server … may not exist or it is unavailable at this time…”
    Both are running 10.6.4 Snow Leopard SL. No Windows machines on the LAN - so this should be AFP only.
    We can see and connect to another Mac running 10.4.11 Tiger with no problem. BUT it is unable to connect to either 10.6.4 machine.
    Firewall on both machines: On; File Sharing (AFP) set to “Allow incoming connections”; Stealth mode Enabled (toggling doesn’t change); “Automatically allow signed software to receive incoming connections” is Off; “Block all incoming connections” is Off. Some other apps and services are set to Block… (krb5kdc, numbed, smbd…) AppleFileServer is set to Allow.
    Sharing: File Sharing Service only is On:
    Hard Drive - Everyone - Read & Write
    Users - Everyone - Read Only
    ~ (My Home Directory) - Everyone - Read Only
    Public - Everyone - Read & Write
    Drop Box - Everyone - Write only
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    It isn't directly related to the firewall, I'm having the same problem between two up to date machines, and to be sure, I have disabled the firewall on both. however, If i connect using the connect to server dialogue, I get through just fine. I believe it could be a dns resolution problem.
    strike that.
    Just tested, check in advanced network settings, and if you have any wins servers listed, remove them.
    krb5kdc needs to be allowed to accept connections, for me it popped up in little snitch when it was authenticating.

  • How can I get my wired LAN to share my iMac's wireless internet connection

    Hi. (sorry for the long-winded posting below. I really struggled to explain what I'm trying to do, but would really appreciate any help from people who can recognise what I'm aiming for!)
    I've seen several postings about sharing internet connection, but none (I think) which sort my problem.
    I have a wired LAN with 3 Macs connected to a router, and the router to a cable modem and the internet. All working fine. All Macs have internet access.
    I'm considering ditching my broadband provider, and so looking for a replacement configuration, at least for the short term.
    So, I'd like to change the arrangement, connecting one of the Macs to the internet (through a local free WIFI hotspot) using it's airport card (that bit is done) and enable the other two Macs to share that connection via the router.
    I've turned internet sharing on, and share connection from Built-In ethernet, on the internet connected Mac. But whatever
    Has anyone got this setup working?
    PB
    Intel iMac 4,1 (early 2006)   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   1Gb SDRAM, 2GHz

    You can share a connection through the router or you can share a connection from the Mac via Internet Sharing, but you can't share an already shared connection.

  • Time Capsule with an Airport Extreme bridge resulted in slow LAN speeds

    Wondering if other people are seeing this. I am unsure if this was a result of upgrading both my TC and AEx to 7.6, but my LAN speeds had suffered in this configuration.
    1.  Comcast cable modem connected to the WAN port on my TC.
    2.  Connected an ethernet cat6 cable from the TC to my Airport Extreme, which was configured as a bridge.
    3.  My desktop was connected to the Airport Extreme.
    4.  When doing file transfers within the LAN or general internet usuage, my network speeds were extremely low.
    5.  Disconnected the cat6 cable from the TC and plugged that directly to my desktop.
    6.  Network speed jumps up by a factor of 5. LAN file transfers and internet usuage has returned to what I had expected.
    Is there a known issue where a bridged AEx conncted to another Airport "main" device will result in all machines connected via the AEx to have slow LAN speeds?
    I didn't see this issue months ago. I did less than 2 months ago upgrade our machines to the 7.6 firmware, but after experiencing some hiccups on the network, reverted back to 7.5.2.  However, the slow LAN speeds haven't gone away when the two airport machines are connected to each other.
    Any insight or advise is appreciated.

    By now, millions of users have updated to 7.6 and I cannot recall seeing a post similar to yours on this forum.
    As far as a "known issue", you would need to contact Apple regarding that.
    Suggest that you have the AirPort checked out at an Apple store if you have one near you.

  • Wired-LAN B&W G3 no longer "seen" by Airport network

    For the past 5+ years I've had my old B&W G3 connected to my Airport Extreme via its wired LAN port. It was always accessible  from my G5 and just worked flawlessly. Last winter my G5 died & I was forced to use the G3 & therefore had to disconnect it from the AE and use it directly.
    Well, now I can't get my G5 to "see" the G3 via AE anymore. I hooked up everything as it was before but can't seem to get the network to "see" the G3. As I said it's been 5+ years since I did this initially so if anyone can think of something I missed I would surely appreciate the insight.
    FWIW as best as I recall, I initially just connected the B&W G3 to the AE's Ethernet LAN port, went to the Finder and selected Network & the G3 showed up. After typing my password I was able to access the G3. I remember thinking at the time "wow, that was easy!
    This is not an internet connection related problem.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Wired LAN on iPhone

    Hey guys,
    I was trying to use office internet on my laptop to access net on iPhone. I have a wired LAN.
    Any clues on how to do it if at all its possible???

    Anirudh Hingle wrote:
    I have already followed his blog but i think he is explaining the process if one has a data cord or something...
    The iPhone cannot connect to the Internet through it's cable the only way to do it is via Wi-Fi through your laptop this is the process that he was explaining.
    m not sure whether it will work for wired lan
    While your Network at work is wired and thus off-limits to the iPhone 9due to connection limitations) you can use your laptop to create an wireless access point thus giving the iPhone a way in.
    The process described in the link is the only setup possible with you current hardware to be able to do this.
    If you are having trouble setting this up my recommendation would be to just invest in a Wi-Fi router (or get your work to), you can get them for very little cost and they will save you from having to play around with network settings and quite possibly compromising your work's network security.
    You could get anything from a USB dongle style to an AirPort Express or even An AirPort Extreme base Station (just to name Apple's products that will work with this)
    This would greatly simplify your task for you
    otherwise if you still want to use the hardware you have available to you i would recommend hopping onto Microsofts discussion forum and ask about creating a Wireless access point with your Laptop as they would be better suited to answer those questions since they are Microsoft related. That link unfortunatley is the best laid out and informative one i know of without me writing one up myself.
    I feel that what you are really trying to acheive is a mixed network topology system in a Multiple star network layout (which is similar to what i run at home but mines more of a mesh architecture).
    With Wired and Wi-Fi options both integrated and the best way to acheive this is with a Wi-Fi router
    (wish you could draw diagrams for usage on here would make life a lot easier )

  • [Solved] Failed to connect internet by Wired LAN, but wifi is working.

    After installation of gnome in archlinux, I enabled NetworkManager.service. I can successfully connect to wireless network. But I can't connect to internet through wired LAN. It shows wired connection established in NetworkManager. But no internet connection is accessible. I found that when connected to wired network, running "dhcpcd" in terminal shows messages like "dhcpcd[13584]: enp19s0: reject NAK via 192.168.1.1" and finally timed out.
    Can anyone give any suggestion ?

    It seems like a problem in dhcp, you could try setting a static route in network manager, just copy the route of your wifi conection. TheSaint was asking for the output of the shell commands posted by him to diagnose the network problem.

  • ConfigFree Autoswitch wireless to wired lan

    I use laptop on office wired Lan then at home on wireless lan. I have set auto network switch to switch networks. Then I have set auto profile switch using SSIS and saved a home wireless LAN profile that changes proxy and printer.
    It all works when go from office to home. However I cannot find anyway to get profile to switch back to office settings when I return to office and it auto swicthes to wires LAN. I can save and Office Lan profile but as it is not wireless and does not have a SSID it will not switch back automatically.
    Anyway to do this?
    Rob

    Hi
    > but as it is not wireless and does not have a SSID it will not switch back automatically.
    I think this is the point;
    In my opinion the Configsys doesnt switch to the LAN because of the missing LAN identification (SSID)
    Here you can find nice description how to configure the Auto Switch by SSID
    http://209.167.114.38/support/techsupport/troubleshooting/Configfree/index.htm
    I think without the SSID you will not be able to get this function working.

  • Can't detect or print to C8189A All-in-One-Printer on a wired LAN

    Computers on my home wired LAN repeatedly but intermittently stop being able to print to the HP C8189A printer attached via wired LAN connection.  I began trouble shooting last night and uninstalled all HP software to start afresh.
    I cannot print to my HP C8189A all-in-one printer conected to a wired network from my desktop PC running Windows XP with SP3.  I can see the printer has pulled an IP from the router by looking at the router's attached client list.  I can ping the printer at its assigned LAN IP address.
    My desktop pc and the C8189A printer share a common DLINK Gigabit Switch which connects wired wired LAN to the DLINK router.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled all HP software but during the HP Solutions Center software reinstall it could not find the PRINTER on the lan, even when inserting the Printer's assigned IP address.
    When checking the network configuration from the printer, it confirms that it is has the correct IP address, but the HP software still cannot detect it.  I have pulled the power connector from the back of the power a couple times to RESET the printer.  This usually corrects what is now a terribly frustrating problem accessing the printer.
    Additional factoids: 1) other PCs can print to this printer, 2) SPYBOT Search & Destroy is running on my PC and popped some registry change windows during the install.
    I'm running out of ideas - any suggestions please?
    Message Edited by VARocketry on 01-09-2009 11:54 AM

    Hmmm ... this is interesting.  In review:
    You can print intermittently from your XP SP3 box to the OJP L7680.
    Disabling the SW firewall (Norton/Symantec, Zonealarm, McAfee, etc) on the SP3 PC doesn't help.
    Other computers on your network have no problems printing to the OJP L7680.
    You are running a wired (Ethernet) network.
    Did I get this right?  I'd like to ask a few more questions:
    What are the other types of computers on your network and what firewall do they run?
    The next time your XP SP3 computer has trouble printing to the OJP L7680, try to access the printer's internal web page.
    What are the IP addresses of the other devices on your network?  By chance, is there a duplicate address on your network?
    Finally, you can try adding the print driver manually to see if we can get you printing.  This is the sequence for XP: 
    Click "Start" button --> Printers and Faxes.
    Under Printer Tasks, click "Add Printer".
    Click "Next" button on the first Add Printer Wizard window.
    If the option for Local or Network printer appears, select "Local printer attached to this computer" and deselect  the "Automatically detect and install My Plug and play  printer" option.  Click "Next".
    Under Select a Printer Port option, select "Create a new port" and select "Standard TCP/IP Port"  and click "Next" button.
    In the "Welcome to the Add Standard TCP/IP printer port wizard" make sure that the printer is  turned on and configured. Click "Next" button.
    Under "Add Standard TCP/IP Printer Port" enter the printer's host name  (that is the hostname of printer that printed in network configuration page)
    under "Additional Port Information" select "Standard". Click Next, and then click Finish.
    Now, select HP from the list of manufacturers, select your printer from  the list of Printer models  and click 'Next' button.
    The Printer name will be highlighted on the next window.
    Click "Next" button.
    It ask for the Printer name -- leave it as is.
    Select "Yes" option for making the printer default.
    Click "Next" button.
    The Printer Sharing dialog box will open.
    Click "Next" button.
    The Print Test Page box appears.
    Select "Yes" option to print a test page.
    Print Test Page.
    Completing the Add Printer Wizard box appears.
    Click "Finish" button and wait for the files to copy 
    This should work to get you a print queue for your XP box.
