Connectivity with WRK54G Broadband Router

I installed my router late last week and since then my downloads have dropped from around 4700 KBS to around 2100 KBS or less.  Checking the setup with Linksys's diagnostic does not show a problem.
Also, on the other Windows XP computer attached (wirelessly), is there any way to know without a doubt that no one else can piggyback onto my connection?
Thank you for any replies.

Regarding the slow wired router speed:
1)  Make sure that any "log" files are turned off, unless you really need them.  Log files waste router CPU cycles.
2)  Some users have reported that their wired router slowed as a result of radio wave interference on the wireless portion of the router.  Try changeing the router's wireless channel to 11 or 1, and see if that helps.  Unplug 2.4 GHz wireless phones and see if that helps.
3)  Some users have reported slowdowns due to having an unnecessary "domain name" entered on the router.  Unless you need to use a domain name, make sure that your domain name entry is deleted.
4)  If your wireless is not secured, others may be using your bandwidth.
5)  If this does not solve the problem, reflash your firmware, and set up your router again from scratch.
Regarding how to secure your router:
Besides using MAC address filtering and disableing SSID broadcast, you should also encrypt your transmissions.  For more information on this, please see my previous post at:

  • I am experiencing network failures with my Airport Extremes: the main router is a 2nd Gen, the extension a 5th Gen. The 5th Gen keeps on losing connection with the main router. Any ideas why?

    I am experiencing network failures with my Airport Extremes: the main router is a 2nd Gen, the extension a 5th Gen.
    The 5th Gen keeps on losing connection with the main router and thus with the internet.
    Any ideas why?

    Is the second Extreme configured to "extend" the network created by the first? If so its position must be such that it has a strong wireless connection to the first Extreme. If it is at the limits of the first one's wireless range its connection will be tenuous. Place them closer together and determine if that makes a difference.

  • WRVS4400N with Sky Broadband router

    Hi
    I recently purchased WRVS4400N.  Though I am having problems trying to configure the WRVS4400N to work with my ISP's (Sky Broadband) router which in essence is a customised Netgear router.
    Basically I want the WRVS4400N to handle all networking aspects such as WiFi, DHCP etc and for the ISP's supplied router to handle just the internet connection.  So far I have switched the ISP's WiFi off, turned off DHCP though unable to get the correct setting on the WRVS4400N to use just the internet connection.  Any help with trying to set this up would be good ?
    Thanks
    Andrew

    I believe that the WRVS4400N router is one of the latest high end wireless router from Linksys, it has Wireless N capability, DHCP, and VPN. If you just want to use this router for DHCP and Wireless, you can just use the default settings in which DHCP and Wireless were enable by default. I also remeber that the default IP address of this router is 192.168.1.1 in which you can be able to access the configuration page for settings modification.

  • Macbook pro Unable to connect with my belkin router 5ghz

    I have recenly purchased belkin N750 dual core router (1. 2.4 Ghz and 2. 5 Ghz).  My macbook detects both wireless network, however, it is not connecting with 5Ghz.
    I have updated the firmware of my router. Now it is most updated.
    I have also performed network diagnostics still I am not able to connect 5Ghz.  However, I am able properly connect with 2.4 Ghz network.
    Pls guide me.

    Hello Oliver,
    I would start with removing your Wi-Fi network from your Preferred Network list. To do that, navigate to the Symptom: After restarting or waking from sleep, my computer might not connect to the Internet section in the first article and it will walk you through that. Another thing you can try is creating a new Network Location to see if there is an issue with your current configuration and the steps for that are in the second article.

  • Yestderday I connected with wifi from router in my ipad2 but today I cannot, have any help please?

    According to previous problem and solution, I reset and power ON/OFF of my router and also ipad2. But No change stil!. My router is quite OK, because I was always connected with laptop. Anyway, I need assistance and kind help.

    So you've power cycled the iPad 2 & the router. The laptop is working again fine with the router.
    Can the iPad 2 see you network, aswell as other networks?
    Try selecting you network if its on the list in Settings > WiFi then Forget this Network. Then iPad 2 settings > general > reset > reset network settings.
    Test to see if the wifi network can be detected & joined again in the Ipad 2.

  • Connecting a Linksys Broadband Router to a Netgear wireless cable modem gateway

    I was wondering how i would go about connecting a WRT54GS v2  Linksys Broadband Router to a Netgear CG814WG v2 wireless cable modem gateway. the reason I'm doing this is to get extra modem ports and i was just wondering what steps i would take to make it work correctly.

    If you are trying to add WRT to your network to increase the number of ports then,you can cascade linksys router to wireless modem.Connect the Ethernet cable from the LAN port of the wireless gateway to the linksys router  on the Ethernet port.Also,if the ip address of the Gateway is 192.168.0.1 then,change the ip address of the linksys router to 192.168.0.2.Also,disable the DHCP and Disable NAT under Advance routing on the linksys router.Power cycle the network and it will work.

  • Wireless LAN cannot connect with the wireless router with Windows 8.1

    Hi,
    I currently have a Lenovo V570 laptop with Windows 8.1 running on it. I cannot seem to stay connected to a wireless wifi connection for more than 10 minutes without it going "limited" and a yellow caution exclamation icon hovering over my connected wifi icon.
    When it goes limited, I cannot access the internet whatsoever and it's growing increasingly frustrating. I used to have success by disconnected and reconnecting which seemed to temporarily solve the issue, but now even that is not working. 
    I did not have this issue (I don't believe so) when I first installed Windows 8 on this laptop a few years ago. This is an issue I've been dealing with for over a year now and only within the past 4-6 months has it been really bad.
    I found this support page here which provides solutions for my problem but after attempting all of them, unfortunately none of them worked. The only time I experience no issues is when I directly connect an ethernet cord from my laptop to the router.
    The wireless problem exists for all wifi connections, whether it be my university wifi, home wifi, local, etc.
    Can anybody please help me out? I'd be more than happy to provide additional info to get this problem fixed once and for all.

  • Losing connection with my wireless router

    I've googled this to death, so you guys are my last resort! 
    I have a WRT54G series 2 with the latest? 4.20.8 firmware
    I've had the problem for 2 years or more and have fixed it by doing a hard reset on the router. It used to happen once every couple of months maybe, but now it's about every 2 days - or daily.
    I'm running XP on desktop and Vista on laptop, both on wireless. Using WPA2 personal security. Modem is an Ambit Euro-DOCSIS 1.0/1.1/2.0 Compliant and I'm on a 20mb cable connection.
    What happens is that I loose my internet connection which drops to local only, I get "105 error Name Not Resolved "when trying to connect to websites. It can happen whilst I'm online, or when the machine restarts from cold or hibernation - so anytime  
    I can still connect by wireless to my router and I can ping any website - but I can connect to them. I've tried "ipconfig /flushdns" then  "netsh int ip" reset & reboot & "netsh winsock reset "- nothing works except either a hard reset or restoring factory defaults on the Linksys.
    Please help
    Sincerely yours

    "but I can't connect to them" my bad

  • Slow connection with westell 9100Em router...

    i decided to make my own thread and mayb a tech support will see it and solve my problems or anybody that know why this happens and can help me with this.
    1. my first problem is my speed, i never get what i paid for which is 20/5 and i know u wont always get your max speed but atleast close to it. the only time i get close to that speed is when i reset or reboot my router which is a hassel to do everytime i get on internet or when i call tech support to reset my ONT which is also a hassel to do everytime i get on the internet.
    they tried to resolve it by saying its the router but i just got a replacement router yesterday, which is also a westell 9100EM router and still the same problem. if its not consistent with the speed, i will call tech support again but so far its not, its down to 5/1 and even 2/0.8.
    2.my ping is really high, 500ms average and the max today was around 900ms and that i know its really bad when i know its suppose to be less than 100ms or even less than 50ms. so with this high ping, i cant play online on my 360 b/c the connection to each player is really bad with that high ping. my bullets for call of duty 4 modern combat is really laggy, so bad it lags for about a second or two which makes u a dead duck when you are out in the open.
    if anyone can help me with this problem, i will appreciate your efforts.

    If you send me a private message with your account info, I will look into your service and get this resolved for you.

  • Hard wired PC losing internet connection with WRT160N V2 Router

    I'm new to routers and I just added a WRT160N (V2) router.  The wireless connection through my laptop is great. However, I have 1 PC physically connected to the router. The internet connection is sporadic on this PC. I have high speed "wireless" internet service and sometimes you click on the internet or check e-mail and there is no internet connection. It seems to be after the PC has sat idle for a while. When you click the internet, the PC icon on the router does not even blink - its like the PC and router are not talking. If it does connect, the connection is great. Any help would be appreciated!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    There is a known issue with intermittent connectivity and the Build 11 firmware for the WRT160N V2. Build 11 is the current firmware on the Linksys site. Check to see if you have Build 11 if your router is a V2.
    Downgrading to Build 8 is generally accepted to correct these issues, however Linksys have indicated to several people they do not have the build 8 firmware to give to end users.
    This is ONLY for WRT160N V2 routers. This firware will not work on WRT160N V1.
    You can find it at http://audipages.com/router/
    Follow the dowload and firmware downgrade instructions on that page.
