E1200 faster wireless than wired?

This is a new one: I just got an E1200 router and connected wired to my win 7 machine, Im clocking in the single digit ranges (~8 mbs) download but on my dusty old win xp laptop wireless, Im getting 20 mbs (max speed from isp 20 mbs). Wife's Mac laptop wireless, same speed. What is going on? I updated the firmware, tried altering some settings based on other entries here suggested (WPA-personal, channel to "6") but no effect.

You mentioned in your post that you upgraded the latest firmware. So after upgrading the firmware did you reset the router? It is recommended to reset the router after firmware upgrade.  Steps to reset the router:
Push the reset button on router for 30 seconds, turn off the router wait for 30 seconds and then power it on. After this process reconfigure the router. Power light should blink when you perform the reset process.
After the process reconfigure the router as per the ISP setup.. Then try to do the following 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] Lower the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) from 1500 to 1400 or less (usually found on your router's main/ basic setup page)
         4] Then go to the Wireless tab, keep network mode as mixed,
 For Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
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.

  • Why is wireless performance faster than wired WRT54G v8?

    Why is wireless performance faster than wired WRT54G v8?

    Have you checked the different wired computer..? or on all the wired computers are having same problem...?

  • WRT54G2 v1 - Internet is Slow Wireless AND WIRED

    OK, so I get my internet from a ethernet cable connected to the wall (I dont know if its cable or dsl because I live in an apartment) . When I connect from the wall to my Macbook the internet is fast with Mbps around 30. But, when I connect the ethernet cable into my router and try to access the internet, wireless or wired through the router it takes 15 seconds to load a Yahoo page or a Facebook page
    Now the confusing part. When I use the wireless on my PS3 (set up with auto setting on it) it goes fast enough where it can even stream HD Netflix movies and fast enough to not get lag on Call of Duty or figting games. But, when I wanna look at a web page on my iPod Touch, Blackberry Phone, Macbook Pro, and 3DS it takes ages to load one. Interestingly enough I tried SpeedTest.net on my Macbook and these are my result when connected wirelessly (still takes ages to load a webpage, and it doesnt load hulu or youtube videos).
    Any advice will help!
    Solved!

    As the previous poster suggested do a hard reset by holding in the reset button for at least 30 second then reconfigure the router if needed. You can also try the 30-30-30 reset where by you hold in the reset button for 30 second, then while still holding in the reset button, remove the power and wait 30 seconds, then while still pressing the reset button, reapply the power and wait another 30 seconds then release the reset button and reconfigure the router if needed.
    It isn't clear if you are using some kind of broadband modem. If you are not using a broadband modem, have you tried to connect the Ethernet cable that comes from the wall to one of the four networking ports on the back of the router rather than the router's WAN/Internet port? Its possible your building all ready is using a router/hub. If this is the case and your computer gets an IP address from the building's router then log into the router and on the Basic Setup page disable the router's DHCP server to avoid conflicts with the building existing DHCP server.

  • [Solved] Preferencing Wireless over Wired

    Hello,
    I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. I'm doing some work with an embedded device that I need to access by ethernet. The device is configured to sit on 192.168.10.1 (at the moment). I've configured my laptop to sit on 192.168.10.23. At the same time, I have my laptop connect to a corporate guest wifi connection - which gives me access to the internet.
    My problem is that I can bring both the wireless and wired interfaces up, but as soon as the wired interface comes up, I can no longer access the internet through the wifi connection. What I want to is have any connections outside of 192.168.10.x routed through the wifi.
    What is the easiest/cleanest way to accomplish this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Excellent, I completely understand now, thanks guys. I know enough to sort this out.
    For anyone else who might have the same problem -
    There are two issues here; the priority of the network and the default route.
    The metric parameter listed in the routing table determines the priority of the network. The network priority determines which networks gets to go first. The lower this number is the more important it is.
    The default route is the 'fall-through' rule. If your destination address does not match any other rule, it will fall through to this.
    In my situation, I'd need to set the metric parameter on the eth0  route rule higher than the wlan routes, and then remove the default routing rule on eth0 and ensure it exists for wlan0.
    In the event you want to make this automatic, you can add routing commands into your netctl profiles with the 'Routes' or alternatively the 'ExecUpPost' commands. See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1360955
    Edit:
    Now I've had time to fix this I'll add an example
    Description='A connect to Jetbox'
    Interface=eth0
    Connection=ethernet
    IP=static
    Address=('192.168.10.23/24')
    Routes=('192.168.0.0/24 via 192.168.10.1')
    #Gateway='192.168.10.1'
    8 DNS=('192.168.10.1')
    For me, commenting out the gateway prevented the default route from being added and ensured that it gave preference to the wifi connection.

  • The best way to connect wireless and wired for a WRT160N.

    It took me about 4 hours to find out how to connect wireless and wired to a network using model WRT160N.  Here is what I have done.  First install the CD when it says there is not connection connect your PC, Modem and router Andy any wireless are wired products, after that do what the linksys advisor tells your which is default.  When it gives you the security key write it down because you will need it for your wireless and wired Products.  Under security mode  type your SDD name and where key 1 is type your security password with was given to you.   Remember all you wireless products have to have the same SDD Like Linsys and all your wired products have to have a different name like Linsys2 but your Key 1 numbers has to stay the same.  That is all you have to do.  Remember that wireless and wired has to be in sequence.  That should do it.

    Hi David Hamilton1;
    I guess that all depends on how critical your data is in relation to how much time you want to spend doing the erasure. Those higher level erasure options can take a significant amount of time to complete. Personally I don't have anything on my Mac that I think is worth more time then a simple erasure even if that does leave it some what recoverable. To me it seems some people are going overboard on this issue.

  • Using a WRT54G as a second wireless and wired router on a LAN

    I have setup a WRT54G as a second wired and wireless router on my local LAN.
    The WAN wired side of the WRT54G is setup completely DHCP. It gets IP 192.168.1.104 most of the time. (I have used a PC with DHCP on theis ethernet wire and it gets to the internet OK). 
    The LAN side of the WRT54G is setup as 192.168.20.1 and all wireless and wired devices connecting to it get ips of 192.168.20.xxx and communicate between them selfs perfectly.  However, none of them can get to the internet through the WRT54G.  What have I done wrong?
    Thank You

    I guess your WRT54G is not connected to Internet directly, but it's connected to another router that has Internet access.
    If this is the case, you can configure this device as access point/hub only in order to get Internet access from the other router. Ignore the WAN connection on this WRT54G, just connect both router's LAN port with crossover cable.. After that configure the WRT54G's wireless setting. You can get more detailed info on how to do it in following article:
    Quick Guide to Configure Wireless Router as Access Point
    Hope helps..

  • Document wont print on wireless or wired

    I have a HP Photosmart6520 e-All-in-One. I have had it for about 6 months with no problems until today I am trying to print a document and it wont print. I tried it both ways from my Dell laptop, wireless and wired this document will not print. So I used HP Print doctor and was able to print a test page twice. I am assumming it is the document but for the life of me I can't figure out why.I even turned off my firewall and tried to print again with no luck and there is nothing showing up in the Print Que. Thanks for your help in advance

  • My first iMac should i go wireless or wired which is better

    first time user for imac should i use wireless or wired which would be better

    If you are close to your router, wired is always the fastest means of connection...and the most secure since there is not a radio signal being broadcast.

  • Living in apartment, here it has only wireless (no wired cable in the room). I've  an airport express (new ) so how can I do for extending signal (wireless) for using in myroom

    Living in an apartment, here it has only wireless (no wired cable in the room) signal using for the internet connection. I've  an airport express (new) ,so how can I do for extending signal (wireless) for using in myroom. because the wireless signal is so weak.

    Unfortunately, you won't be able to. In order to do so, you would have to configure both the AirPort Express and the other wireless router for a WDS. Since it will unlikely that the other router is another AirPort, nor will you have the ability to administer it, you won't be able to get this accomplished.

  • Bridging wireless and wired network interfaces

    Hi,
    Is it possible to "bridge" the airport and ethernet network interfaces on a macbook pro using Leopard (10.5.7) ? I do not mean Internet connection sharing. That results in NAT.
    I recently got a desktop in my room which doesn't have a WiFi interface. I wish to connect its wired interfaced to my mbp's wired interface and give it access to the wireless network my mbp is on. To do this I would need to bridge the wireless and wired interfaces on my mbp. All the results I find online to do this only talk about Internet Connection Sharing ..
    thanks,
    regards,
    Puneet

    You can turn on IP Forwarding to achieve most of what you're after:
    sudo sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
    This will have the Mac forward packets from one interface to the other without NAT.
    However you still need to use separate subnets, and may need to play with routing to get everyone to talk to each other.

  • I currently have wireless, but i am looking into this to maybe have faster wireless. if this is hooked up, will the existing wireless/ethernet to pcs still function without changing them to use the airport express?

    let me fix this a bit. i currently have dsl and a 2wire wireless router, and i currently do not have one or a mac. im getting one for when i start college and this is a must if it will improve my internet. but i now connect wirelessly to the 2wire router. if this is set up, will the current 2wire wireless still be useable?

  • My Canon MX922 will not print wireless or wired.

    My CANON MX922 printer will not print wireless or wired. I used suggestions in Community such as "MX922 not connecting wirelessly, 7-6-15, post 1362, 10-17-15". (No solution). I worked with a great rep., by phone,for one hour. (No solution). My MG6220 has worked wirelessly, for two years, on the same Lenovo computer with Windows 7. THANKING YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO HELP ME.

    I tried that and the computer still can not recognize the printer.  I used the CD that came with it to reinstall it and all goes well until the very end when the last window pops up and says it can not find the printer.I went and bought a new printer last night Canon MG5622 since it uses the same ink cartridges and I have a lot of of inkI didn't want to waste.  This printer installed easily and works great.Not sure what happened with the other one but perhaps I'll pass it to my sister with the CD and see if it will install onher computer.thank you for your help, you're awesome for trying!Diane
