E3000 has slow Ethernet speed but ok wireless Internet speed

My Cisco E3000 has slowed it's Ethernet speed so slow that it times out when going to Facebook, YouTube or any site that is complex. It worked fine until one day it just gave up. It's connected to DSL Modem with Ethernet To a Apple Mac G5 power PC There are two other older macs connected via Ethernet, same problem. When I took the router out of the chain, and connected G5 directly to modem, normal internet speed. My firmware is up to date. Both wireless bands work great. When I look at Cisco Connect, everything looks normal. factory settings. I worked great then something changed. help me, my kids are revolting.

Yup, check the firewall settings. Since you said firmware is updated, then you may need to reset and reconfigure the router.

How much free disk space do you have?
You may want to run these "standard" fixes if the problem persists.
1) Check the amount of free space on your harddrive. You should have a several gigs free.
2) You should run disk utility
     a) verify the disk
     b) update your permissions.
3) Try a safe boot.
    Shutdown your machine. Hold down the shift key. Poweron. Wait awhile Wait awhile while you harddrive
      is being checked.

Look at what is happening with your Mac when you run Activity Monitor.
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Activity Monitor
1) Be sure you select all processes in the double arrow selection just be low the window title line.
2) Click on the CPU tab on the lower half of the window to see how much time you are using and if any applications are hogging the CPU.
3) Be sure the triangle in the CPU title is in the down position. This will list the processes from high to low.
You can gain some understanding of Activity Monitor by looking at it every once in a while. Look at the small graph.
Here is how I have my CPU display set up:
Do you need more cpu memory.
Click on System Memory to get statistics on memory usage. You should have some free memory.
The number to look at is page outs.
Mine is 13397. This means that some of my programs and data had to be written to disk because cpu memory filled up for a time. It means my programs ran a little slower than they could have. I could run fewer programs, deal with the slowness, or buy more memory. I'd say you want at least 512meg of memory for 10.4.
If the entry for entry for Page ins/outs is:
Page ins/outs: 29163/0
Notice I have 0 pageouts which says that I am not using my harddrive for extra memory space. Thus, I have enough memory.
Activity Monitor has a neat feature where it can display a dynamic dock icon. In Activity Monitor View > Dock icon > Show cpu history.

Wireless Internet Speed and freezing constantly

Recently I have found my wireless internet speed dramatically slower and at times I find that it in fact won't connect with various webpages - I have had numerous instances that it even fails to connect to google or msn. Now I also own a powerbook and MacPro and I don't notice the lag or the infrequency that I seem to be having with my MacBook Pro. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Last week i received the new MacBook Pro 17" 3.1 and when i connect to my wireless network i've the same problems reported by 24LPS_Films.
I've this hardware:
Router Wireless TP-Link model TL-WR642Gv1, firmware 2.10.1 Build 060317 Rel.59202n.
MacBook Pro 17" 3.1; Airport Extreme (0x168C, 0x87)
The computer is connected to the wireless network, but when browsing or using other internet services the speed is very slow or inexistent.
I've done some tests:
- Connected to the internet with the ethernet cable --> ALL OK
- Connectet to the same wireless router with an external wireless card: Alpha Network AWUS036H --> ALL OK
- Connected to another computer in lan with the internal wireless card --> ALL OK
- Connected with the internal wireless card using Windows XP throught BootCamp to the same router --> ALL OK
- Changed the type of the wireless network to 802.11b, 802.11g, Open, WEP, WPA2-PSK --> NOTHING CHANGED
After that i think that there's a problem in MacOS X with these new cards.
MacBook Pro 17" 3.1 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

"How do I find that IP address because I put in the 192.168.1.8.."
That's not the router's IP address. Most likely it will be 192.168.1.1

Linksys E4200V2 - VERY Slow Performance-WIRED, WIRELESS, INTERNET SPEED

Hi everyone... I just want to start by saying that I am a very unsatisfied customer!
I purchased the Linksys E4200 V2 on 02.06.2012 since this is the latest high end router from Linksys which according to the specs and the reviews this router is supposed to be super mega fast...the box should probably say SUPER MEGA SLOW.
I called support and after spending two hours on the phone they said that the case will be escalated and that someone will contact me within 48 hrs - It has now been more than 72 hrs and no phone calls or emails have come my way - the router is still not performing.
The following is my setup:
HP Quad Core Desktop with Windows 7 x64 bit with 8GB RAM
Network Card is an integrated 1GBPS card
I've upgraded all of my ethernet cables to Cat 6 (to see if this made and difference - which it did not)
LinkSys E4200 V2 router
Western Digital My Book Duo Live 6TB external drive with ethernet port of 1GBPS
This weekend I went as far as reinstalling a fresh copy of Windows 7 x64 on a Solid State Hard drive
My PC is connected to the E4200V2 via Cat 6 cable
The My Book Duo is connected to the E4200V2 via Cat 6 Cable
The E4200V2 is connected to my cable modem via Cat 6 Cable
ISSUES:
WIRED
I am getting no more than 20mbs when I copy a 85GB folder from my PC to my external My Book Duo. I expected to get either 1GBPS speed or at least 400MBs speed since all devices are connected via 1GBPS interfaces and the cables ar Cat 6. I am using both the native windows copy and paste and I am also using TeraCopy to copy files.
WIRELESS
The wireles speed is BAD as well - I am not getting no more than 50MBS with my laptop located just 20 inches from the router.
CABLE MODEM CONNECTION
When I run speed tests to the internet I am getting a very slow speed test of 1.5MBS and sometimes I get 20MBS with the E4200V2 router.
With my OLD Netgear router I get speed tests of 28MBS and never 1.5MBS.

Hi there,
I've got a very similar problem.
I've got the Cisco Linksys E4200 (Firmware Version: 1.0.05 build 7 Aug 23, 2012).
With my previous router, I was able to copy files over the wired network at roughly 11MB/sec (about 100Mbps).
Now, with the new Linksys router plugged in, with the same cables and pcs, etc, I can only get an average copy rate of 4.4MB/sec - under HALF the speed that I was previously getting - and often sustained slow speeds of roughly 1.8MB/sec
Any ideas???
Otherwise I'm returning this router for something else!!!
I can see that you already have the latest firmware. It might be that the firmware is corrupted. What I can suggest is to reflash the firmware, reset and reconfigure the router. You might as well try to disable WMM.

Wireless internet speeds slower after upgrading from 10/2 to 50/25?? Using olders revision Mi424WR.

We have been using the oldest version/revision of the Actiontec Mi424WR router provided by verizon for 3+ years. Recently we upgraded from an outdated 10/2 internet plan to our current 50/25 wireless plan. The speeds when wired are fantastic, but with wireless, on multiple computers the speed even right next to the router hovers at about 10mbps. I understand about the degradation and limit of wireless signals, but we should absolutely be getting higher download speeds than 10mbps(~1Mb/s). On our older 10/2 mbps plan our devices were receiving consistant download speeds of higher than we are getting now, maxing out at 1.6Mb/s usually. The only change that has been made recently is we reset the router to fatory settings, leading me to believe that wireless settings that were in place before are no longer there and throttling wireless speeds. I do not expect to get the full 50+ mbps speed that I am getting from wired, but I do expect my wireless speeds to be consistent with our upgraded plan(let alone slower than our massively slower old plan). Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

You should definetely get better speeds even with an older router, upto about 20 or so.
If that works for you, then it's probably just a little wireless interference.
you can change that in the router. open a browser, and go to http://192.168.1.1
user name is admin. and the password is most likely the serial number found on the service tag of your VZ router unless you changed it. Once you login succesfully, go to the top and hit wireless, then on the left basic security. then go to option 3 which is channel 1, 6 and 11 and are the only channels you should try.
So it will likely be set to auto, change it to 11 and put the check for keep settings even after reboot (Directly under the channel) and then hit apply. after you hit apply, test your connection out, if you notice a difference, leave it like that until the problem happens again, and if it happens again, go back into the router, and try channel 6, test it out. and then finally 1 if the first two don't work.
Also take a look at page 2 of Actiontec's Wireless PDF File. It gives you some idea's with regards to position and orientation of where the router sits and how it can best be positioned for maximum coverage.

Why is my second computer's (wireless) internet speed slower than my 'base' computer's (non-wireless)?

My son has a Macbook that he uses in another room of our house. The router is at my desk, and is wired to my desktop MacMini. Why should his internet speed be slower than mine? Is there a remedy such as switching providers or routers?

According to the manual for the router you said you have, the maximum supported speed is 22 Mbps for 802.11b and 54Mbps for 802.11b/g - since that MacBook supports 802.11a/b/g/n, 54Mbps is the best case scenario if it's negotiating an "g" connection or 22Mbps if it gets a "b" type connection. So what is your internet connection speed? And that 22/54Mbps is best case - depends on how many wall and other obstructions it goes thru by the time it gets to his MacBook.
If he holds down the Option key and clicks on the WiFi icon in the title bar he should see what type of connection his MacBook has negotiated with the router. For example here is what mine shows (the connection type is listed as a 802.11/g, 2.4GHz, 54Mbps, channel 11, 20 MHz, etc):
Another thing to try and make a quick measure of the speed between his MacBook and the local router and your Mini is copy a big file from your computer to his. That will give you a good idea of the speed of his wireless connection to the router.
Good luck...

Slow/Erratic Wireless Internet Speeds. Have tried a lot. (Multiple Linksys Routers)

I just moved into a new house, and now have a 10mb ADSL connection.
When wired (direct to the modem, or through routers) my speeds are fine.
But when on wireless, they are very erratic. I use a local speedtest site, and when wired it will get up to the correct speed quickly and stay there till test concludes. But on wireless, it will sometimes do that, but 90% of the time it will slowly get up to speed, drop a few Mb's, maybe stay at half speed, maybe go back up, etc....
I have 4 linksys routers (no not all in use currently), 2 WRT54G's, WRT54G2, and a WRT160n.
I have two laptops, one running a Dell 1490 card (Broadcom) and a HP Tablet running a N card (it is broadcom, will have to look up the model). Have tested multiple OS's (XP, Vista, 7).
Nothing seems to make a difference, so problem between all routers. I have tried changing channels to no avail. But other than that, I am not familiar with "fine tuning" as I have never had to in the past.
Any suggestions would be awesome!

Sometimes, firmware make a reat difference...Its a real coincidence that you are facing the wireless connectivity problem with all the 4 router's you have.However you try upgrading your router's firmware and try to reconfigure it from the scratch and hopefully it should work...
Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

Wireless Internet Speed

Hi I connected 1 wired and 1 wireless to the internet and all is fine. The wired Pc connected at 100.0Mbps which is fine but my question is only to find out if a wireless connection speed of 11Mbps is normal for a Linksys Wireless-B model BEFW1154 Version 4 with the updated firmware installed. I checked other wireless networks around the house and found most at 54Mbps. I can't tell what type connections they have but mine is a PPPOE DSL. So is 11Mbps normal? Thank you
Message Edited by northernchap on 08-10-2007 06:58 PM

First: the connection speed show is the maximum theoretical speed possible through the connected medium. 100 Mbps wired speed does only mean that you have a wired ethernet connection with 100 Mbps ports on both ends. It does not say anything about the speed you can actually get through this. Even under ideal circumstances you won't get faster speeds then 90 Mbps.
The same applies to wireless speeds although things are worse here because other wireless networks and cordless devices interfere with the connections causing even slower speeds. Your BEFW11S4 is a 802.11b router. The theoretical maximum speed of your router is 11 Mbps. If you have a wireless connection to the router you will only see 11 Mbps connections or slower. As you computer is able to see faster networks around your house it means that your computer has a newer 802.11g or 802.11n card built-in. With 11g the maximum shown connection speed is 54 Mbps.
In other words: what you see is completely normal as your router is not able to have faster connection speeds then 11 Mbps. This does not depend on the internet connection speed you have.

Air port system has lost power to pick up wireless internet.

Hi,
Not sure if i am in the right area for this question as first time on this computer, but i have a older g5 iMac computer. The problem i am having is my wireless internet is extremely weak. Obviously at first i did not think that it was the computers problem but the internet i was feeding off, but this is not the case. Many laptops and other wireless computers work in my room, but not my desktop. I think the airport has lost power and cannot connect to the internet properly and sometimes when connecting it always say connection timed out.
Has anyone got any responses to this that might point me in the right direction of the cause of the problem. Anything said would be a great help.
Many Thanks
Thom

I am also having a similar problem. I have a time capsule that works fine with other computers WiFi. I have temporarily hooked up a "hard line" ethernet to my iMac from the TC. The internet is very fast but when I unplug the ethernet line and use only the airport it is very slow. Not to mention, when the backup for the TC turns on everything slows down and the back up takes hours instead of minutes. I also noticed that when I stream music from iTunes to my AXs around the house the music cuts on and off. I first thought the TC was bad and was not sending out a single, but as I stated above, other laptops work just fine. So, can the airport card be replaced in an iMac G5 power PC? I realize iMacs are not supposed to upgradable like a Pro but can it be repaired? Also, if the card can be replaced can if be upgraded to a faster N card? My next step is to take it in to the Genius Bar, but I really don't want to unplug everything and take it to the Apple store if I don't have to. Thanks.

ITunes 8.1 works great but killed wireless internet connection

I installed version 8.1 on both my laptop( PowerBook g4/ OS 10.4.11) and desktop (imac intel / OS 10.5) and after restarting the computer, the wireless internet connection stopped working on both.
I would open Safari and it would be a blank page and and the circle would keep spinning.
So I tried my laptop at a different wireless hotspot and had the same result.
I then tried repairing permissions and I got a list of problems with iTunes/Network Utilities, they repaired and now when I open Safari I get the message that it can not connect to the internet.
I do get an internet connection using ethernet on both.
Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Did you by any chance also update the firmware on your Apple Airport Extreme (if that's what you have)?
I thought 8.1 killed my connection to my Apple TV, but it was the faulty firmware (see reports elsewhere in these forums).
Now that I have rolled back from 7.4.1 on my Airport I plan to try iTunes again (with white knuckles).

Wireless Internet speed is one quarter of wired... Please help me fix it.

When connected via wire I run the Verizon Speed Test and get 85Mbps download 38Mbps upload speeds.
When connected via wireless (to the Actiontec MI424WR Rev. I router) I run the Verizon Speed Test and get 20.5Mbps download 19Mbps upload speeds.
I have downloaded and run the VzSpeedOptimizer100.exe program... after rebooting, Speed Test results were the same.
Based on one forum post I read... I've tried setting my wireless channel to 11, then to 6, then to 1... with increasingly worse Speed Test results.
Based on another forum post I read... I tried to change my encryption from WEP to WPA2, and my wireless internet stopped working altogether.
Another posts suggests that the router is garbage (which I'm starting to believe) and just buy another wireless router and use it instead.
Is there anything I can do to get the speed up to the levels I'm paying for without buying another router?
It sucks that I'm paying for a super fast plan and not getting any of the benefits of it.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

If you cant use wpa2 then your speeds will suffer. Take into consideration your wireless network card. Is it even capable of reaching higher speeds? Is it able to use n band? Mine wasnt and could only get as high as 25 mbps. I bought a small Belkin wireless usb dongle over a new network card since my laptop is so old and it works wonders. Even if you buy a new router and your network card cant handle the speeds its not going to fix anything.
Also, as mentioned already you'll get the best speeds from performance mode over campatibility mode, but any g band devices wont work on performance mode, only n.

AE Works with Ethernet Cable, but not Wirelessly. Please Help!!

I purchased the AE to run music streams via Airtunes from my wireless router/PC upstairs to my stereo downstairs. When I hook everything up upstairs with the ethernet cable, everything works like a charm, but the moment I remove the ethernet cable, the AE is not being picked up by the network. I set everything up for the wireless network (while the ethernet cable was hooked up) and have a green light on the AE, but when I try to use it wirelessly, it is blinking amber and not appearing within AirPort Utlity (only when hooked up with ethernet). I have a Westell 327W Wireless Modem/Router and could use some advice as to what I am doing wrong to get some tunes downstairs.
Thank you in advance.

Hi:
I was chasing this very topic for a long while, then took a break.
You are suppose to be able to stream music from your PC to external stereo speakers via iTunes, thru an Airport Express (AE) wirelees connection.
Here's my status:
It is pretty easy to get a wireless connection up & running so that you can play music from your laptop/pc to external wirelss speakers via iTunes, thru AE.
I have that up & running. The problem comes in when trying to add the Airport Express to an already existing Linksys router's wireless network. When setting
the AE up, you'll most likely get 4 error messages that have to be addressed before you go from from a flashing amber LED to a solid green LED. If you are just using Apple's ad-hoc wireless conncetion, you'll need to use Airport Utility to address the 4 issues. Basically, Airport Utility doesn't know how to address AE, since it doesn't have any IP address to a network. The other 3 are simlar problems. If you just tell Aiport Utility to ignore each of these problems, you will get the solid green LED on AE, and you'll be able to stream music directly from your PC to your speakers, wirelessly, once you finish the AE configuartion, and Airport Utility reconfigures the AE.
I have my HP laptop and printer setup with a Linksys 54G Router and Printserver,
so that the laptop and printer communicate wirelssly via the Linksys Router.
Now comes the fun...trying to add the AE to this already existing wireless network. I could get the AE to work when I had an Ethernet cable connected directly from a port on the router to the AE, but when I disconnected the Ethernet cable, the router no longer saw the AE in the network. I followed all of the instructions in the Airport Utility software, went seeking advice on this
newsgroup, the web, etc. Found lots of good information, but a lot of it was outdated.
I have my Linksys wirless network setup with WEP-64 encryption.
From what I have gathered, it is much easeir to add the AE to a WPA/WPA2 network, than to a WEP64/128 network, just because of newer protocols.
The problem that I have is that WPA encryption works much slower for me than
WEP encryption. Example: iTunes is roughly 60 MB is size. Downloading it
using WPA, results is a download time of 22-23 minutes; where a download
using WEP-64 takes 75-80 seconds !
In the past, what I was trying to do was add the AE to my already existing
wireless network. Now, I have a wireless network for the AE. I want to try to add this network to my already existing wireless netowrk for the Linksys router.
I just haven't taken the time to try it yet. From what Apple tells me, Linksys makes this setup messy. The fact that the AE works by itself proves that the
device is OK.
For a history of the problems that I have been chasing in trying to get the AE setup and added to my already existing Linksys router network, visit the following link in the list of "problems" on this Apple newsgroup's web page.
Search for the folowing topic title:
Problems Setting-up Airport Express to Play Music thru External Speakers
Currently, is is at the bottom of page 12 of this discusssion group.
The info in it may be useful to you.
Please let me know if you get yours up & running in the Linksys wireless
network.
Thank you
