Getting 54.0 Mbps maximum on Linksys WRT300N

Hi,
I have a Linksys WRT300N router. I am getting only 54.0 Mbps speed but I wants 300 Mbps.
Network mode is “Mixed” in basic wireless settings.
When I select wireless-N then I get disconnect.
Is there any settings for my wireless LAN card or some thing else.
Please anybody guide me what to do.
I have Linksys Wireless-N PCI Adapter WMP300N.
Regards

Your wireless n equipment should be capable of connecting at 200 to 300 Mbps.
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. (That would certainly explain a 54 Mbps connection!) Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
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 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 wireless card.
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.

70 mbps through wired, BUT 18 mbps through wireless? (WRT300N v1.1 )

Hey I just got my cable speed upgraded and was doing some speedtests. My equipment is
Netgear CMD311 Modem
Linksys WRT300N v1.1 Wireless N Router
When I test ethernet, it gets very good like 75 mbps, but through wireless it gets 20mbps on my laptop and more like 13 mbps on my desktop wireless.
Both computers were in very close range to the router (like 20 feet)
I know wired is much better but it shouldn't be losing THIS much should it?
Both computers have wireless N adapters
Any ideas on how to fix?
Thank you

Hi, does the figure you have posted correspond to the actual internet speed or to a link/card speed? It does seem though that there is big discrepancy with the figures, so you need to optimize the router’s wireless settings. Upgrade the router to the latest firmware and reset the router afterwards. You can then improve the signal coming from the router by using a non-overlapping channel. Use a wifi analyzer like http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/ to help you select the best channel. Another way to improve the signal is by relocating the router to a more central and elevated location. Do not place the router in a glass or metallic surface to avoid wireless interference. Lastly, change the router’s advanced wireless settings (using these values: beacon 50; dtim 3, frag 2304, rts 2305) to help improve the router’s transfer rate.

Can I use a Linksys WRT300N as a range extender?

Currently I have a Linksys WRT300N V1 that I am not using. I do not get wireless coverage in my kitchen and back yard. I want to use the WRT300N as an extended. Is this possible?
Currnetly I have a netgear WRT600 connected to my modem (verizon fios). I would like to use the WRT300N as a repeater/extender if possible.
Thanks
Brian

Linksys routers doesn't support repeater mode, If you want you can use WRT300N as an Access Point by connecting it hard wired to the first router.

IMac vs Linksys WRT300N

I am new to Mac and am thinking of purchasing an iMac 24", and am wondering if the iMac wireless function will work OK with the Linksys WRT300N.
Thank you.

Linksys does not support Apple,
Well, yes and no. They don't know diddly about macs, but I have occasionally gotten decent help from them. It's usually easiest if you just tell them you're using windows (and that the auto setup software didn't work), log into the router with safari or whatever browser you use, and just wait out all the "…now launch internet explorer" garbage till they get to the nitty gritty. They do have OS X articles in their support kbase, although they aren't a lot of help.

Macbookpro & linksys wrt300n router

Hello, can you tell me if I can use a linksys wrt300n wireless router with a macbookpro & G4 Imac ?
thanks

Hi Danielh,
I sure hope that I can help you. Sorry for the somewhat slow response time, I have been playing XBOX all afternoon.
First off, I would totally disagree with the Office Depot guy. The thing is "n" isn't actually a "real" thing yet, it has yet to be approved by the WiFi alliance who oversees everything wireless. Right now "g" is still the standard, which is what is built into the AirPort Etreme cards in all current Apple computers.
On the topic of why you would want a "faster than 6MBps connection" from the router, it is because of how the router transmitts "stuff." While yes, Comcast has a top speed tier of 6MBps for standard service, the faster your connection to the router the faster files will transfer, and generally the better the connection you have. Lets say you have a 11MBps connection with a router, and you use your comcast. You will not get the full 450-600KBps download speed that you would get while directly connected to the router. With a router such as the WRT54G/GS, your connection speed will generally be 54MBps, which will achieve download speeds on the internet much closer to the wired speed of 450-600KBps. And now with Comcats new PowerBoost, us comcast people can now get speeds of up to 12MBps with our standard 6MBps service. So the faster the router, the faster the internet will go, although downloads will never go over the standard 6MBps (with bursts up to 12MBps.)
If you frequently move/transfer files from computer to computer, than the faster your wireless connection the faster your files will transfer. So in fact, 108MBps is NOT overkill, although no current Apple computer will support 802.11n at this time.
I actually have the WRT54GS, but have worked with many WRT54G's for customers. Both are very good routers and some of the cheapest, although the WRT54GS is more around mid-range price. Some people do have problems with the WRT54G but many times this is because they have not set it up properly, or updated the firmware, or in worst case they could have a "dud" router which happens quite a lot in the world of WiFi. But overall I have been EXTREMELY happy with the WRT54GS, and most Linksys routers that I have worked with. (As a side note I HATE D-LINK ROUTERS!)
While I do not use my iBook, or my Dell laptop, with a WRT54G router much, the times that I have I can't really tell a difference in speeds between the WRT54G and my WRT54GS. So I would save your money and just get the WRT54G. Yes any Linksys router, other than the Compact series routers, will work just fine in your apartment. Linksys are somewhat superior to other routers such as D-Links, and Netgears because of the second antenna that most all of them sport, such as the WRT54G.
I really hope that this helps!

Linksys WRT300N Connectivity with Proper Settings

I am a computer tech and have worked with Linksys products for years. Over the last year or so, I have had so much trouble, I cannot explain it. I have a client who purchased a Linksys WRT300N that I initially setup a few months ago. It is connected with cable modem from Linksys. Hardwired, the speeds are just fine. I have the most recent firmware and setup lower threshhold levels and such to gain better wireless signal, performance. The only computer I am having trouble with is one using the WUSB300 adapter. The computer is XP SP3 and using the most recent driver. I even installed the Linksys utility and tested it, to no avail. This desktop is right around the corner from this router, it works well with a Mac, but it will not be read by the desktop WUSB300. I did release/renew, uninstalled/reinstalled, checked everything and the adapter will not get a good signal plus it doesn't get assigned an IP and continues with the 169.xx.... I rebooted the modem then router, and then rebooted computer. The initial connection worked then gone. It never held and this is around the corner. For the Mac, I did a speedtest.net and with a strong signal, and Wireless N only, I received less than DSL lite speeds but hardwired, I achieved up to 15000kbps. I cannot explain what is happening. The router has the most recent firmware, there is no interference since transmitting N only, and I did the proper settings that previous posts commented on, to get better signal strength. What am I not seeing? Why would the speeds be so slow, from doing at least 6 tests over an hour? Also, why would I not get an ip address from one N router to another N device, by the same manufacturer? Sorry for the frustration here, but I recommended this equipment a year ago and Linksys has been very disappointing in its results. These N products are unreliable. Some work and most don't...I am learning. j

because the adapter which you are using is draft 1 version adapter which has had issues connecting in the wide channel = 40.
I have a one year old Macbook and I assume a first generation built in N wireless card. If, in fact, it is a Draft 1 adapter, does that mean I should use the 20Hz band instead of the wide 40Hz? Thank you for the advice. SMR1

Telnet through linksys wrt300n

hi there.
i am trying to accept incoming telnet connections through my linksys wrt300n.
i have unchecked filter anonymous internet reuqests
unchecked filter nat redirection
unchecked filter multicast
i have enabled the TELNET option in the port forwarding
i have also added another telnet option to my local ip 192.168.1.110 with port 24 (just for testing)
i have a telnet server enabled over here, and i can telnet to localhost no problem.
i have my mcafee firewall set up to allow incoming connections on tcp port 23
as well as tried it with full access to the telnet server program.
as i said, i can telnet to localhost to get the bbs no problem, so the server is setup properly.
but when i try to telnet to my internet ip address (or my dynamic ip domain name)
it is telling me connection refused.
what am i missing here?

btw, i am running the latest linksys firmware 1.03.6 on my wrt300n
please help.
i am used the portforward.com instructions and everything. it seems everything is setup properly!
help!
peace,
chris.

Linksys wrt300N working perfectly until I changed my broadband line

Please help. My Linksys wrt300N was working perfectly but.. the analogue line that receives my broadband was switched & now I cant get broadband to go through the router. The linksys router feeds off a BT router & then a netgear hub. my laptop says that it is connecting well with the router but can not pick up the internet. The cable that plugs into the back of the linksys is sending broadband fine as if I hardwire my laptop in to it (therefore bypassing the linksys router all together) I have no problems connecting at all. I have tried restarting all the hubs in tern & still have no success. Any suggestions (I only bought the router recently but most helpfully cant find the start up disk or any related paperwork!).

Turn off the WRT300N. Unplug your modem, wait at least 10 sec then plug it back. Wait until initialization is over (flashing lights stabilize) then turn on your WRT300N.

Using a Linksys WRT300N as head end for 1130AG

We currently have a seperate DSL line connected to a Linksys wireless router/switch for public use. We were given an 1130AG access point and would like to find a way to use a switch port off of the Linksys to connect to the FA port on the 1130AG and have the AP pass DHCP requests and all other traffic to the Linksys. This works if instaed of the 1130AG I use another Linksys router. I am able to assign the second router a static IP off of the first router and that second router uses a different IP range for it's DHCP clients. Because the 1130AG is restricted to handing out 10 DHCP client IPs I can't do the same thing and supply enough IP's to the public in my Jury room. I have been unable to get the AP to use the Linksys DHCP assignments. I orignially tried assigning a mgmt vlan and gues vlan on the AP where the mgmt vlan and ssid are the same as the ssid on the Linksys. Neither was succesful though I was able to connect to the AP when I forced my laptop to connect to that MAC. I then tried only have the mgmt vlan and opening that up for public use, that met with the same results. Then I tried setting up the AP to have no vlan but use the same ssid as the Linksys, still no luck. If I set the AP to receive it's address by DHCP it receives that address from the Linksys but other client traffic doesn't appear to work. So the two units are speaking to each other.
Has anyone tried to do this before? I know I should have a controller for the AP but I don't currently have the budget for that unit and the AP was given to us.
Thank you in advance.

You can get it to work, but the 1130 management has to be configured for vlan 1 and the ssid has to be mapped to that vlan also. The Linksys router along with other soho routers don't have support for routing and having more than one subnet.

I have an apple id but when i want regester with icloud on my iphone I get the message "THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF FREE ACCOUNTS HAVE BEEN ACTIVATED ON THIS IPHONE."

I have an apple id but when i want regester with icloud on my iphone I get the message "THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF FREE ACCOUNTS HAVE BEEN ACTIVATED ON THIS IPHONE."
On the web of icloud when i try to sign in with apple ID i get the Message "THIS APPLE ID IS VALID BUT IS NOT AN ICLOUD ACCOUNT"
Hence i cant create Icloud account.
please let me know how i can resolve the above mentioned issue
Thanks.

Apple limits iOS devices to three free iCloud accounts, & once that limit is reached on an iOS device you can no longer create a new account on that device. The solution is to create the account on a computer or another iOS device, then set that account up on your present iOS device.

I can't get into icloud. Get this message: the maximum number of free accounts have been activated in this iphone. thanks for your help

Create the account on your computer or other Apple device. Once the account
has been created elsewhere, you will be able to use it on your iPhone.

It's a really bad idea to post your iPhone's serial number and I've asked the Hosts to remove it.
Any one device can create only three iCloud accounts. As you have apparently already created three accounts (or if it's a used phone the previous owner did) you cannot create any more one it. This is tied to the hardware, not the account, and there is no way round it.
You can create a new iCloud account on another iOS device or on a Mac, and then you will be able to sign into that on your iPhone.

Extending a Linksys WRT300n v1.1 network with Airport Extreme

I have a linksys wrt300n v1.1 as a wireless access point to our network. It does not have DHCP enabled, as we have another router performing that function.
I want to extend the range of our wireless network into the building next to us (part of our office complex). The signal from the linksys is strong at one end of the building, but doesn't reach through the rest.
I bought an airport extreme, and am trying to configure it to extend the wireless. It is currently connected to the linksys via wireless, but that connection doesn't seem to be stable, and even when it does connect the airport utility shows the error message: "unable to extend the wireless network."
I cannot see any settings in the linksys config pages relating directly to WDS; current AP Isolation is disabled (which I'm certain is correct) and NAT is disabled (I'm not sure if this is correct or not).
OK - partial resolution; I've switched the Linksys from WPA/WPA2 to WEP encryption. I seem to be able to connect the AE wirelessly, but it still says that it can't extend the network.

Thanks. I've kind of gathered as much from the reading I've been doing.
I broke down and dropped another $200 for a second extreme. I've got to say, it works beautifully, and is a dream to configure. The down-side is that the Apple "Genius" told me it would work the first way, "no problem."
I hate it when people who are supposed to know guess rather than actually find out.
