Getting slow wifi speeds on wireless router connected to the same LAN

I have a main router/firewall with two wireless routers(linksys E2500 and TP link) connected to it.I want to configure them to all be on the same LAN (192.168.19.0) so i experimented with the TP link first by removing the ethernet cable from the WAN port and inserting it in the LAN port then I disabled DHCP and it worked perfectly. The only downside is that i am getting slower speeds on the TP link compared to the linksys which is still on the 192.168.1.0 network.Ethernet also works fine though i've observed that the TPlink name displays on the ethernet NIC. Can the speed be increased one way or the other or i have to change my setup?

Cannot see Mac Mini Server from Internet: DynDNS alias gets thru cable modem to wireless router, not to the Mac Mini. How to configure?

I want to make my Mac Mini Server (Lion) visible to the Internet from my home LAN. I have followed the Lion server install wizards and also set up a dynamic DNS at DynDNS.com.
When I enter the Internet address with the proper alias from a web browser, I get dumped into the admin screen of the Linksys wireless router WRT300N. Hint: the WRT300N provides DHCP for the LAN, not the cable modem providing DHCP. The WRT300N has DDNS service set up. NAT and RIP are disabled. The Mac Mini DHCP is reserved.
Suggestions? I could use the Motorola Surfboard SB6121 to provide DHCP but have hesitations.
Point me to the right discussion/article and get me back on track, please.

This sounds like a simple port forwarding issue, but I don't understand your LAN setup.
The WRT300N has DDNS service set up. NAT and RIP are disabled.
The chances are, you're running NAT somewhere in your network. If not the WRT then what? If it's your cable modem then you must have port forwarding configured on the cable modem, and that's where you need to focus - change the port forwarding to point to your Mac Mini's address rather than the WRT.
HOWEVER, it is far more common to have the wireless router perform NAT and DHCP, which is why I question your setup.
Not directly related, but:
The Mac Mini DHCP is reserved
Nix this. Your server should be configured manually, with a static IP address, not DHCP, even with a reservation in the DHCP server. The only advantage of DHCP is for dynamic hosts (hence the 'D' in 'DHCP') or if you expect to change your entire local subnet on any kind of frequent basis. The reality is that you can't just change the IP address of Mac OS X Server like this - there are too many dependencies, so it's better to set it manually, knowing that there's a cost (and pain) to change the server's address.

Connect to Airport Express and Wireless Router (Linksys) at the same time?

I have a laptop that connects to a Linksys wireless G (WRT54G) router. I just got an Airport Express to play iTunes wirelessly over my stereo. Is there a way to connect to both the Linksys router and the Airport at the same time - i.e., connect to the internet as I was over the wireless router AND send music wirelessly from my laptop to my stereo using the Airport Express at the same time?

Can I get my wife and my phones to synch to the same iMac, but have different address books - when synching we keep ending up with all the contacts on both phones...

Can I synch 2 phones to the same iMac, but have different address books?

If you and your wife have separate user accounts on the Mac, then each of you will have separate libraries to sync. You can them maintain separate address books, calendars, apps, etc.

Slow Wifi speed when transfering data from USB drive?

Hello guys,
Am I the only one to get slow WiFi speed when transfering data from USB disks or keys?

Hello again,
I'm also having this issue when using a Bluetooth Magic Mouse when downloading file. Is it a problem with the firmware or the BUS?
Anyone have the same issue?
Thanks

The Apple time capsule provides disc memory, a wifi network, and router functions. It would normally be connected to the internet via cable modem. If I wanted to use a wireless cellular connection to the internet, how would I do that?

The wireless cellular device would need to have an Ethernet port, to provide an Ethernet signal to the Time Capsule's WAN port.

Internet speed impacted when router connected

I have been keeping a constant check on our internet speed, primarily because our Bell Sympatico service peaks and troughs .. my speed without the router is 5600kbps .. when I connect the router however my speed drops to 2,200 .. why is that .... and can it be fixed .. because before I switched to this router, I had a d-link which recorded the same speed with or without the router connected.
I've been giving Bell grief and have a service ticket out, which I may not need it seem to be the router ?
Router is the WRT320N
Message Edited by steelefamily on 10-06-2009 06:12 AM

1) When you said your speed drops to 2200 kbps, I assume you mean your speed when your computer is wired to the router -- is that correct?
2) And I assume by "kbps", you do mean "kilobits per second", not "kilobytes per second" -- is that correct?
3) If the answer to both 1 and 2 is yes, then the first thing to do is simply reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
4) There are several other things that can give you slow speed when wired to the router including:
a) using point-to-point (P2P) software. This is a known cause for router slow downs and disconnections. It can cause problems for several days after use. Stop the P2P.
b) unnecessarily adding a "Domain name" to your router. If your ISP does not require a domain name, erase the domain name from your router.
c) turning on "logging" in the router. Logging is only for diagnostic purposes, otherwise, turn logging off.
d)  Sometimes Linksys routers seem to have trouble synching to some very old modems. The solution is to get a new modem.
e) Some computers will slow if you are using a wired and a wireless connection at the same time. Turn off your wireless adapter.
f)   Improper setup of modem and/or router --- to fix this, we will need more info:
5) Please state your ISP
6) Please state the make and exact model number of your modem (not the WRT320N).
7) Please do the following test:
Power down your entire network. Using an ethernet cable, connect your modem directly to your computer. (Do not use the WRT320N for this test.) Power up the modem and computer. Verify that you have a working Internet connection, then proceed with the following: (Even if your Internet connection does not work, state this, and proceed.)
Go to "Start" > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
A black DOS box will appear. Type in "ipconfig /all" (with no quotes), then hit the Enter key.   Copy all the results to your next post. To do the copy, highlight the results, then use the copy (Ctrl-c) keys and the paste (Ctrl-v) keys. If your "IP address" does not start with 192.168 , then for security reasons, erase the last half of your IP address.

HT4437 I have followed all relevant steps, my iPhone5 and apple TV are connected to the same wireless network, but I still cannot use airplay. When I choose the airplay option on my phone, the only option I get is "iPhone"

I have followed all relevant steps, my iPhone5 and apple TV are connected to the same wireless network, but I still cannot use airplay. When I choose the airplay option on my phone, the only option I get is "iPhone"

Welcome to the Apple Community Willy.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.

HT4356 I have the up photos smart 5514 printer and can't get it hooked up to print web pages. It says no air printers found and both a connected to the same wifi

Shannmo-
The HP PhotoSmart 5514 is on Apple's list of AirPrint printers, so it should work. <iOS: AirPrint 101>
One problem might be that your WiFi router does not correctly handle Bonjour data required by AirPrint. Contact the router's manufacturer to see if there is a change to its setup or a firmware update that will solve the problem.
I had a printing problem several months ago, where the WiFi had jumped to a neighbor's WiFi that happened to have the same name. There are a LOT of WiFi routers out there named "Linksys"!

How do I get the internet connection back onto ipad even though it connects to Wifi successfully and I have checked on my iPhone which does connect via the same wifi and to the internet?

How do I get the internet connection back onto ipad even though it connects to Wifi successfully and I have checked on my iPhone which does connect via the same wifi and to the internet?

Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address shown starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make/model, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

Wireless router connection probs..

Currently using imac intel core duo, 2 gigs ram, 250 gig hard drive.
My PC has the main internet connection upstairs, it has a wireless router that provides the downstairs computers with connection.
The network set up , upstairs, is called ''home''. From my imac in the basement, 2 floors below, i cant seem to sustain a good enough signal. We set up no wireless security and no password requirement to access our wireless network, but all of a sudden, a password is required. I heard it was easy for someone to get onto a wirelss non secure network and throw a password on and claim it for your own? I belive u need to reset your wireless router than go to the original creators website and create security? Until that has been done, my signal status has been set to default, and so is the computer directly beside mine(right beside) . This computer is set to default becuase the upstairs one has password, but it is sustaining a great signal on default, yet mine can never reach past 2/5 bars. Sometimes its back and forth from 4 bars to 2 bars, but there is never a sustained , good signal.
Is there something i can do to enhance the signal im getting? Something i can buy? (incoming signal enhancer?) First thing i thaught is, well your ofcourse not going to get a steady signal when its on default, but howcome the computer beside mine is? Is it a firewall thing?
Anyways, if you know anything about setting up security on a wireless router or anything to enhance my incoming signal, or anything to help me, i would greaty appreciate it.
-As im sure you can tell, im not a massive techy, im a noob to this stuff, please be gentle.
Thanks, Cole

First - Airport pull-down menu - Turn-on Interference Robustness
see if that helps...
what type of wireless router?
Is the firmware up-to-date?
Can you see the settings using the router address:

Belkin wireless router connected but browser could not find the host server

my new roommate has a belkin n wireless router connected to a cable modem which functions perfectly on her pc laptop. i am trying to connect my MacBook Pro to the router using her WEP password. this all works fine and my System Preferences/Network/Status shows that AirPort is connected with full strength, but i cannot load any web pages (i have not yet been able to load any pages at all using this router). the page load error reads "Firefox can't find the server at www.cnn.com" and "The browser could not find the host server for the provided address".
I spoke with Belkin support and they say the router is functioning properly, that is a problem with my mac.
When I go to Network Diagnostics, the status shows all green and says "This computer's Internet connection appears to be operating normally. Are you sure you want to use Network Diagnostics?
Could this be a firewall issue? A couple people have suggested that, but I'm not sure how to fix that.
I have tried rebooting the router and cable modem, rebooting the mac, etc.
any ideas on what settings i may need to investigate??
thank you!

how do I know if the router has useful DNS servers? i am looking at the settings of the router on the pc that is online.
Somewhere in the settings of the router should be the DNS servers that it is using. Since the router is offering via DHCP to do DNS translation for your Mac, it must have useful DNS servers listed.
There are "public" DNS servers. I have no experience with it, but this Web page describes one from Google:
http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/
Supposedly Google has a DNS server at IP addresses 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 that you might try. Since the DNS server setting on your Mac is grayed out, as a test you might try noting the setting in the "TCP/IP" tab of your AirPort connection item of the Network panel of System Preferences. Then switch from "Using DHCP" to "Manually", fill in the values you just noted, switch to the DNS tab and fill in Google's DNS addresses, and see if things work better.
do you have any other suggestions of where to seek help???
Perhaps a Belkin discussion group?

HT5569 iPhone WiFi issue. I enter a password, click join, and get a message back that it is the incorrect password. I have several computers and two other iPhones connected using the same password. Any clues?

Hey there Gordo456,
It sounds like you are not able to join your Wi-Fi network with the correct password on 1 out of many devices. I recommend the troubleshooting from the article named:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Restart your iOS device.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
If that troubleshooting does not resolve the issue, I would next try these steps from further down the article:
Unable to connect to a Wi-Fi network
Verify that you're attempting to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Make sure you're entering your Wi-Fi password correctly. Passwords may be case sensitive and may contain numbers or special characters.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Deleting Wireless Router Connection

I just recently moved my wireless router from a different PC to the PC I have in my room, however, I did not uninstall the linksys connection and such from the other PC, I just moved all the wires and my DSL connection wire to the PC in my room. I had to call Linksys to fix my router connection, so that person set up a new connection and a password, but she did not delete the other connection that the router was first running off of. Somehow that router connection (on the other pc) started to allow connection without a password, even though I did not remove the password, I honestly don't know how it happened. Now I am able to connect to my new password protected connection and my laptop that I use in the room can connect to our old connection which is "unsecured", does anyone know how to delete that connection? I was just going to uninstall the program on the old PC and hope that it will work, but I do not want to waste my time if it doesn't work, and I already called Linksys support and paid $9.99 for someone to log onto my PC to set up my new connection. The old connection is interfering with my new connection, because people are connecting to it, since it does not have a password, someone please help!

This is the 2nd thread I've seen with this same question/issue. I would like to know if CISCO is really hearing what we are saying!!!
The questions is HOW DO YOU DELETE THE OLD install?
The questions is not am I secure?
I have had several IT friends see the same issue but unsure if they have researched the support forums on here to get to the bottom of this. So this is my story...
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS QUESTION.
I'm having the same issue and have been for several months. It is true what you have stated. Even at my home (now an old network no longer used) that my access point via desktop doesnt show 2 networks. My mobile pc's do!
1 secured (bcse we reinstalled and locked it WPA2)
1 the old install that just "fell off the wagon" unsecured sometime last year.
HOW DO YOU DELETE THE ROUTER IF YOU CAN'T SEE IT?
ignoring that old one, and securing my new is leaving a weak signal for people to use. The kids in my neighborhood sit at the bball courts and use their pc's. When I unplug mine, they leave w/n 10min.
My neighbor tells me today that comcast calls her they see an unsecure linksys (which is my old one). Oddly enough, they are receiving reports that hers (secured network) had been hacked to go to Univ. Studios to dwnload full length movies. SMNT! I cant delete the router from the (once main desktop) PC bcse I dont see it in the list.
