Download Speed on Westell 327W Goes to Almost 0 About Once / Day

Installation has worked fine for 2 1/2 years with no changes in computers, phone, phone lines, type of Verizon service, anything else. Normal speeds, according to the Westell homepage, is 1792 / 448. Over the last 6 weeks, the download speed, but NOT the upload speed, drops to about 0 about once per day. Specifically, speeds, according to Westell homepage, drops to 32 / 448. Powering down the modem and bringing it back up restores normal speeds, but then, usually within 24 hours, down it goes again. Do I just need a new modem?

It kinda sounds like it. But before yourun out and spend the money, do you have a friend that has dsl? Maybe you can use his router to test out your line? Have you called tech (nightmare) support and asked them to run a line test on your dsl service?
If you happen to get another router to try, make sure you enter your user name and password to access your account. make sure he knows his to re-enter it back to his modem too.

Why is it that i bought my music on my ipad and i want to download it to my phone and its saying something about 90 days

i spent hours picking out the music on my ipad so that i can use my computer to download to my phone so i can workout with it. Then now i come on my computer in the morning an it says something about 90 days, so dose this mean that i have to wait 90 days to listen to my new music on something else other than my ipad?
if that is so than that is BS

It may not be much to worry about. See HT4627 - iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID.

UK Download Speeds Incredibly Slow

Hi, I am just about ready to give up...my download speeds through the iTunes store are appauling - upto about 700kBps. I am on a 100Mb connection and this works fine everywhere else. For info, the speed through itunes store is horrendous on all my systems.
I see loads of people reporting speed issues but no answers from apple from all around the world - I am in the United Kingdom.
What is going on? I have paid a lot of money for all this kit and I would hope to get a decent service from it.
Thanks.

Anyone please?

Download speeds dead in Mavericks!

I'm completely confused. I have a 12Mb internet connections that works great. I've upgraded my Mac Mini, MBP, and MB Air to Mavericks. Since then, my download speeds have gone from over 1MB/sec to about 50-60kb/sec. Doesn't matter if it's from the iTunes Store, a random website, or my web FTP servers.
I can't figure out what in Mavericks could possibly have caused this. I went to speedtest.net to make sure it wasn't my connection, but I get the 12-15Mb speeds through that test. To be sure, I've rebooted my modem and gone through all those normal steps. It is definitely NOT my internet connection. It's something about the Mavericks install.
Anyone else have this happen? Any thoughts as to what I can do to fix it?

I have this problem too and only since upgrading to Mavericks.
I'm downloading an Adobe program and it's averaging about 50-500 kbps. For a while, it sat at 199 for the better part of an hour. It occassionally goes up to 1.5 mbps...but only for a few moments before dropping to the 50-150 kbps range.
I've checked speedtest.net and it shows my speed ranging between 5-10 mbps depending on the time of day. The same results show on my iPhone using the OpenSignal app.
I changed by wireless wire channel over to 1 from 11 and that improved a bit, but not much.
I also pulled out my 4 year old Sony Viao and started downloading the same file. It's processing speed and RAM is glacial compared to my new iMac (just bought it 4 weeks ago). While Windows doesn't display the actual download speed that I can find, the progress showed it would beat my iMac. (The iMac has been downloading for over an hour and only at about 60%....the Sony Viao was at about 20% in 5 minutes.)
I'm with you Jeremy....is there a solution to this issue?

WRT400N Upload and Download Speeds

I have a WRT400N router. I have a network set up where I am physically connected to the router while my two room mates have a wireless connection. When I test my connection I have a download speed of 25 Mb/s and an upload of about 2 Mb/s. My room mates however have a download speed of .5 Mb/s and upload of about .5 Mb/s. They are getting full signal strength from my router, so I am not sure what the problem is. What is the problem and how do I fix this? They should be getting much faster upload and download speeds.

After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you have not done this since the last firmware upgrade, then please do this now and see if it corrects your problem. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it --- you must setup the router from scratch.
If the above does not correct your problem, then the most likely cause is simply a poor wireless connection. This can occur even if your computer shows "5 bars" or "full signal strength".
There are many causes for poor wireless connections, and many solutions:
First of all, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
If your problem is that you are getting poor speed between your wireless n router and wireless n adapter, in the router, make sure the "Radio Band" is set to "Wide".
Poor wireless connections are often caused by radio interference from other 2.4 GHz devices. This includes wireless phones, wireless baby monitors, microwave ovens, wireless mice and keyboards, wireless speakers, and your neighbor's wireless network. In rare cases, Bluetooth devices can interfere. Even some 5+ GHz phones also use the 2.4 Ghz band. Unplug these devices, and see if that corrects your problem.
In your router, try a different channel. There are 11 channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Usually channel 1, 6, or 11 works best. Check out your neighbors, and see what channel they are using. Because the channels overlap one another, try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors. For example, if you have a strong neighbor on channel 9, try any channel 1 through 4. For wireless n, make sure your standard and wide bands are at least 2 channels apart. For example try standard band on channel 11, and wide band channel 9.
Also, try to locate the router about 4 to 6 feet above the floor, in an open area. Do not locate it behind your monitor or near other computer equipment or speakers. The antenna, if external, should be vertical.
Also, in the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. If your current network is not listed, enter its info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings".
If the above does not fix your problem, download and install the latest driver for your computer's wireless adapter.
Some users have reported improved wireless performance by switching to WPA encryption.
If you continue to have problems, try the following:
For wireless n routers, try setting the "n Transmission Rate" to 162 Mbps, and the (wireless g) "Transmission Rate" to 54 Mbps.
If you still have trouble, download and install the latest firmware for your router. After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
Hope this helps.

How do I keep my current download speed?

I changed to Infinity earlier today and am getting 37.5 MBPS download speed. I understand from the engineer the next 3 days the link will be analysed in order to determine my requirement. What should I do to ensure my 'requirement' is 37.5 ?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can't as such as the process is automatic and will settle at highest stable speed your line will support. Avoid turning off or reset your router as the system can see that as instability. After a few days the line will stabilise and then it is less important what you do. Do not get hung up on the connection speed as few applications will be upset whether you connect at 37 or 32Mb/sec. Enjoy faster downloads and lower ping speeds most people get.

WRT54G downloading speed is going slow

Help! I hav a wrt54c router with the latest firmware and i have reset it and setup it again. My download speed is useally 120kbps but now its 8kbps -15kbps. idk whats wrong it works in the morning when i get up but when i get home i get the bad download speed, i have hughesnet internet and windows vista.

Check the download speed with computer wired to the router .... if getting same low speed .... upgrade the firmware of the router....
After upgrade reset & reconfigure the router...
If getting low speed only on the wireless connection .... then try this settings ...
Access setup page of router ....
Click on Advanced Wireless
settings>>Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation
Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings" ....

V e e e r r y S l o o o o w Movie Rental Download Speeds

My setup: In my home office is a cable modem connected to my locally owned and operated ISP's coax feed. It's a city operated fiber network (Ashland Fiber Network), not a ComCast/Charter/Verizon conglomerate. The modem is connected to a Time Capsule (500 MB) via ethernet. Also connected to the Time Caspsule via Ethernet is a 2.4 GHz 24" iMac. The Apple TV is in my living room about 30' away through one wood-frame wall.
I get consistent >8 Mb/sec download speeds from Speedtest.net both on my office (Ethernet) iMac and on my MacBook via 802.11g while sitting next to the Apple TV in my living room. The Apple TV shows 5 bars on its signal strength meter, and is running the latest (2.02) software. I have the Airport Utility setup to run 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) so that it'll work with both the Apple TV and my 802.11g MacBook. There are no 2.4 GHz wireless phones in my house, and no other WiFi devices connected. There are several other WiFi networks within range in my neighborhood, but I use WPA2 Personal security to isolate my network.
My problem: I have tried only 1 SD movie download. but it took 37 minutes to reach "Ready to Play," and then choked after playing for 56 minutes. So rather than wait for more of the movie to download, I went to bed and watched the rest of it the next day. I've rented 2 HD movies, the first download notice told me that it would take 13 hours to be ready to play, and the next said 11 hours. Both times I just went to bed and watched the movie the next day.
Trailers generally take anywhere from 2-5 mins. to begin playing, and they almost always choke after about a minute and have to download more to continue playing. They play much faster on my iMac when downloaded from Apple's Quicktime site, though I can't be sure if different servers are involved there.
This scenario does not jibe at all with what Apple tells me I should expect from the Apple TV, nor with what I read about here on the Apple Discussion boards.
Things I've tried: 1) Changing the WiFi channel from Auto to a discrete channel--I've tried four different channels now. 2) Switching to 802.11n only--both at 2.4 GHz and at 5 Ghz. 3) Unplugging and removing the batteries from my 5.8 GHz wireless phones. 4) Moving the Apple TV a 6' HDMI cable's length away from the TV and sound system in my living room. 4) Resetting everything several times, even once back to 2.0 before reinstalling 2.02. 5) I even unplugged the microwave in the kitchen. About the only obvious thing I haven't yet tried is stringing an ethernet cable from my Time Capsule to the Apple TV because I don't have one that long and would rather not strip down my entire setup just to test that. But it looks like I'm going to have to.
I've had four conversations with Apple tech support, the last one after being bumped up to level 2 support. They had me do (among other things) a 100-ping test using Network Utility between the my iMac and the Apple TV--no dropped packets and the network speed was, according to them, well within spec. When I told them all the other stuff I've tried, they had no suggestion other than: "Something is interfering with your signal."
I took the Apple TV to my local Apple Authorized Dealer (the nearest Apple Store is 300 miles away). It checked out fine and ran great on their network. I got to try downloading a few trailers there and they ran almost instantaneously. Now, they informed me that their network runs at ~15 Mb/sec, but they also have about 30 computers hooked up to it.
Anyway, I read here that almost all of you are seeing much faster download speeds on your Apple TVs, even those of you with DSL. And it seems pretty clear that I'm experiencing some sort of interference here, but can't seem to locate the source. So, my question is: What other possible sources of interference might I be getting, and how might I go about locating them?

How does downloading via your iMac respond?
I haven't tried downloading a movie from iTunes to see if there's a substantial difference, and you can't rent HD movies from iTunes, only SD. Trailers download faster, but there's no telling if they're coming from the same servers as Apple TV's trailers (nor if iTunes movies are, for that matter).
I'm quick to blame the time capsule and time machine. Similar to your problems with AppleTV, I've never had time machine work properly. All it does is suck up all my resources while taking days to do anything.
Unlike some, I've had zero setup or operating problems with my Time Capsule. Works like a charm and doesn't seem to slow anything down on my iMac as far as I can tell.

Help. DSL drops connection all the time, is it the modem? (westell 327W)

Pardon me because I'm not so tech aware, and so don't know what to do to try to find a solution. We lose our internet connection a lot. It seems to happen in spurts: last night we couldn't connect at all, today it was bad in the morning but now I've been on for about a half an hour and all seems good. I can't figure out any pattern. Last weekend we were fine all weekend, during the week it was bad every single day.
I connect through a desktop and the westell modem; upstairs we connect with a laptop and wireless. The connection problems happen in both places, although it's our housemates who connect upstairs through the wireless and so I'm not entirely sure if they have problems when we're having problems or not (this has been going on for so many months, we've all kind of adapted to it. but it's more and more frustrating). Our wireless is encrypted.
When we can't connect, we get the Explorer 'cannot find website because you are not connected to the internet' error page. Even when we can't connect, the "local area connections" icon on the lower right side of the screen (Windows XP) says we have a network connection at 10.0 mbs. The lights on the modem are all green, and the DSL light stays steady green, although sometimes the internet light will blink erratically, and the wireless light always blinks quickly. We recently switched out the cable to the jack, so it's not that.
Sometimes we can get it to get back a connection briefly by doing one of these things (but they don't always work):
- use the "repair" button on the local area connections window support tab -- this will often get it back for a few minutes but is rarely permanent. When it doesn't work, it usually says it's because it can't renew the IP address
- turn the modem on and off. That's what worked this morning. It did not work last night.
- turn the computer on and off. That worked last night only to get an initial connection that then pooped out.
- use the verizon support popup that sometimes (and only sometimes) appears when we're having connectivity problems. This morning that worked briefly -- the internet connection popped back up at the stage where the pop up siad "testing connection."
Any idea what is going on here? I tried a couple months ago to get help through verizon online support, and it ended up as a 3 hour phone call to India that resolved things only for an afternoon, and not on any more long term basis, and I don't want to do that again unless I know what I'm asking for (since all they do is go through some kind of checklist).

Verizon DSL download speed not as advertised?

Well, I've been a customer of Verizon for over 5+ years now and I've had Verizon DSL for quite some time. I'm not too sure if I have either the 256kbps package or the 768kbps download speed.
My DSL modem box model is the Westell 327W.
My problem is, it has always reached a download peak of 95.4kbps, as if it was capped at that download speed. The speed never really jumps up and down, just a steady download rate of 90 ~ 95 kbps through out the day, even though I use DSL.
There are no other users besides myself that uses the internet, and wireless settings have been turned off to ensure my internet is not shared.
I do not have any type of virus on my computer, since I've switch computers very often with fresh hard drives because I tend to upgrade alot.
My current hardware and operating system specs are:
ASUS Crosshair III Formula Motherboard
AMD Phenom II X4 965 CPU [Black Edition / Overclocked: 4GHz]
2 x ATI XFX HD 5870 DDR5 (2 x 1GB) 2GB GPU [Twin Crossfire / Overclocked]
8GB (4 x 2GB) Crucial Tracer 1600 DDR3 RAM [Overclocked]
Corsair (850W Watt) Power Supply Unit
Cooler Master HAF 932 Full ATX Case
500GB Western Digital Caviar HD (Main)
250GB Western Digital Caviar HD
Prolimatech Megahalems AM3 CPU Cooler / Heatsink
2 x Asus DVD/CD Burner
Logitech G500 Gaming Laser Mouse
Logitech G15 2-Tone Gaming Keyboard
LG 30" LCD Widescreen Monitor [2560 x 1600 Resolution]
Windows 7 (64Bit) Operating System
Verizon Westell 327W DSL Modem
So I doubt it is hardware related.
My question is, is DSL suppose to be this slow and capped at 95 kbps download rate, or shall I contact a Verizon high speed internet rep because something is wrong?
also, can i "upgrade" to the new Verizon DSL with the new 1mbps download rate, for the same price I am paying right now? because I'm paying the same exact price for a slower/older version of DSL right now, which makes no sense, and I could cancel my DSL any time because my 2 year agreement has been reached years ago,
Thank you
Regards, Chris
Cheers.

I doubt the problem is with your DSL service. The Transceiver speed correspond exactly to what the 768/Kbps plan would provide. The transceiver statistics say that your DSL link is running at Kbps on the downlink side, and Kbps on the uplink side. That is the provisioning for the old 768/128 Kbps plan. If you cannot get a Kbps downlink, and/or Kbps uplink it isn't because of the DSL link.
The DSL link runs at the lower of either the provisioned speed, or the highest speed your DSL Modem can negotiate with the Central Office Equipment. You are at the provisioned speed.
So either the problem is further upstream (beyond the DSL connection ), or on your computer, perhaps due to anti-virus, or firewall settings.
You might want to run a network analyzer program such as http://miranda.ctd.anl.gov/ from the Argonne National Laboratory, and take a good look at the details of the test.

Download speed of 0.1mb/s

I've had problems with this for almost two years now but BT have fobbed me off on more than one occasion, saying that it's because I live at the end of an exchange. I think it's outrageous that I pay the same monthly fee as everyone else but get a frankly unusable speed.
I can't run the full diagnostic check, as it fails every time, but when I do the performance test it says;
0.85 download speed
0.11 upload speed
43.38 ping latency
However when I actually try and download something, it shows as more like 100kb/s.
It's just about usable for everyday stuff, but today I bought an xbox one which had an unadvertised mandatory 14gb download. At the speed I get it will take over 500 hours, short of taking my xbox to someone elses house I've got no idea how I'm going to get it to work. Very very frustrated.

3g download speeds better, but uploads are down to ~256kb/sec

Is anyone else getting faster 3G speeds, but slower upload speeds.
I'm getting much better / consistent 3g speeds. And the downloads freezes are better, but now my uploads are down to 256kb/sec. It's almost as if AT&T turned off the HSUPA, and now downloads are faster.
Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this phenomenon. I'm in the Metro Detroit.

3meg DSL Download speed running at dial-up speed

Since last week I’ve been getting DSL download speeds that are basically dial-up speeds. I have the 3 meg plan and for the past 10 years or so, I came close to a 2 meg download connection speed regularly.
Last week my download speed basically disappeared. I spent hours on the phone with Verizon Tech Support during the week. (Their standared 72 hours to assign a service call after creating a service ticket is bogus.) A Verizon DSL tech spent 5 hours at my house on Saturday and said the problem is on VERIZON’S END with their servers. He did it all, replaced internal wires, used his modem for the tests, checked speeds at the NID, took the router out of play, tried to get new wires from the service on the street, and still could not resolve the issue.
I show the correct 3360/864kbs connection on my DSL Modem (Actiontec GT701D) but my download speed is averaging 33K to 60K using 4 different speed tests. DSL disconnects at random also. My upload speed is typically around 700kbs – where it should be.

This performance drop off is totally unacceptable. What’s really interesting is that my service call has been closed out as “resolved”. Which is obviously has not. I am now being forced to go through support again to “diagnose” my problem.
I’ve been researching (painfully) these speed issues and have determined they are a chronic problem going back to at least 2006 for many DSL customers. The issue seems to be they have oversold DSL services and overcrowd their local Central Office servers and routers. There is supposed to be some performance issue regarding Redbank and Juniper switches. Redbank is supposed to be more reliable and Juniper aren't so. I also believe their latest “optimizing” software may also be part of the problem.
For the first time EVER, I am seriously considering converting to COMCAST because no one at Verizon (other than the DSL tech) will acknowledge they are the cause of my issue.
Anyone have a realistic idea as to what needs to be done at the Central Office to correct this issue?
Thanks for your time.

Consider yourself lucky. I have had the 3Mb plan for over ten years and initially had regular speeds of 1.5 to 3.0...until a new development was put in a block away, they were connected to Verizon, and my speeds dropped to 205 kbps down/805 kbps up at the copper drop in my basement. Many calls to Verizon resulted in modem upgrades (currently the Westell 6100) and reassurances from Verizons foreign help desk that my service was performing normally. Promises of FIOS soon being available in my area (Cedar Brook, NJ) have kept me hanging on but I stopped holding my breath a few years ago. Hopefully your service will be restored - mine most likely never will.

Low bandwidth and slow download speeds

On a normal day, our router (a BT HomeHub 1.5) reports about 1700 kbps downstream bandwidth, and downloads at around 100-180 kBps from most websites. On Saturday, after it reset itself several times repeatedly, the downstream bandwidth dropped to about 400kbps, and download speeds dropped to 20-30 kBps. I did the usual of resetting the router (power off, wait 30 seconds, power on), with no effect.
After about an hour of these speeds with no change, I gave the BT hotline a call. We did the usual checks (plugged into the master socket, all phones in the house passing through filters, line attenuator/accelerator attached to the master socket) and then she did a line test and couldn't find any faults. I have since also done a quiet line test (17070, option 2) and couldn't hear any significant static.
I was advised to leave the router on for 24 hours without resetting it so the line could be reprofiled. The router managed to reset itself overnight for Sunday morning, but has now been on for over a day, with no change in connection quality. We've done reprofiling once or twice before, and generally it fixes itself in a few hours.
Today, I ran btspeedtester and checked the ADSL Line Details page of the router. You can see the results at the bottom.
So, is there anything I'm missing on checking (I find it highly unlikely that 'leaving it alone' for 3/5/10 days is going to do anything other than waste my time; see almost every other speed problem topic in the last few weeks to notice that there is a trend of problems not fixing themselves if you just wait ), or should I go ahead and send in a customer support request for the mods here?

Well, since the router reset itself for no apparent reason again which makes it unlikely it'll stay on 24/7 for 5 days, here are the results from connecting it to the test socket. Not much difference on our end.

Driver to communicate with westell 327w

My macbook pro crawls when talking to Westell 327w. My old gateway talks fine to it. All over cat5 cable.
Do i need a driver to talk to the Westell quickly? My surfing speed is fine. Just cannot talk quickly to the modem firmware.
Any ideas?

tdog-
smercurio_fc is exactly correct. The LabVIEW Database Connectivity Toolkit is an API that was designed to do exactly this. I would strongly recommend taking a look at it and review the functionality that is already created for you. In the link that smercurio_fc, there is an area where you can download it which will give you a 30 day free trial of the software. This would be a great way to see if this tool will assist you in your application.
