Internet speed suddenly and drastically reduced through TWO different routers (EA6500 & E2500)

I'm definitely experiencing a bizarre problem at the moment with internet speed (both wired and wireless) through my EA6500 which began suddenly two days ago.  The modem directly into the computer continues to yield the normal speeds (about 3.5 Mbps down and 1 up) each time I connect it directly, but putting the router into the equation cuts it to around 0.5 Mbps down and 0.05 up, though the speeds do tend to vary quite a bit.  I just assumed that the router was defective, so I grabbed my older and perfectly operational E2500 to put back in its place, but the results were exactly the same.  I went through all of the troubleshooting with the cable company up through the modem, and again, the modem continues to deliver the normal speeds directly to the PC.  I also swapped all of the network cables around to verify that they're all good, so that's not an issue either, and the firmware on both routers is current.  While certainly possible, I have a hard time believing that both routers just happen to be bad at the same time, and I haven't made any changes in the last few days to the network configuration, settings or even the software and setings on my PC.  This truly is a baffling problem, and I would greatly appreciate any thoughts on the matter.  Thanks.

That interesting the MTU being 1280. That is the typical MTU of an IPv6 tunnel. Is IPv6 enabled on the router? Maybe your ISP has implemented IPv6.
Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

    Sounds to me like the battery has failed.
    You can take it to an Apple Store.  They MAY be able to do something..  Or, you can find parts and "How-To" repair guides on the internet.  eBay and Google are your friends...

    Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only.
    However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is already open on or from any machine which is causing code edits to be lost.
    What we found from out testing:
    - The file can be saved from one user to the server and WILL NOT PROMPT on other machines until the saving machine has the Dreamweaver program closed completely
    - The file can be closed and  Dreamweaver minimised to the launch bar but it still will not register on other machines that it has been changed.
    - Also, until the  Dreamweaver program is closed on the machines, it will continue to open it's saved version of the file. 
    Example Scenario:
    - User 1 opens test.css (which is 2000 lines) and adds some code to the end of the file to bring it up to 2500 lines
    - Meanwhile User 2 opens test.css as well (opens as 2000 lines as User 1’s edits have not yet been saved) and adds in code to bring it to 2300 lines
    - User 1 saves his file and closes it - but  Dreamweaver is still open.
    - User 2 also saves his file and leaves  Dreamweaver  open.
    - The server will report the size and last edit of the file the same as User 2 as he was the last person to save it (and if you open from the Win7 Machine it will show as User 2’s 2300 line version)
    - If User 1 then open's the file again (from either the 'recent' in Dreamweaver OR clicking on the file directly in Finder...which version opens.... The version that User 1 saved! Not the true version on the server, but the version that User 1 edited and saved with 2500 lines in it.
    - Same for User 2, he will open 'his' version with 2300 lines in.
    Other information:
    - Files are opened directly from the server
    - Sometimes the users will save incrementally and re-open
    - Most of the time users will save incrementally and keep the files open
    - The users will never not save incrementally and just save when closing the file once finished
    - The users are usually working on the files all day
    - It is always the bottom lines of code that are lost. It could be a case of the two versions being mixed up and cutting off the newly added lines based on the line count (possibly).
    It is as if Dreamweaver is holding a cache of the version locally and then only properly looking back to the server when it has been completely closed. It is very difficult to see how the server is causing such an impact on these files, there are very few logs which are giving any indication to the root cause of the problems.
    Anyone know if this is a known issue?
    Is there a way that there can be a featured implemented on the server that doesn't allow another user to open a file if it is already open on another machine?
    Thanks

    Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

  • How do I get all the songs from an album to show in the album view?  Currently, if an album lists the artist plus a guest artist, those are shown separately and appear to be two different albums on my iPod.  How do I get all the songs on that album togeth

    How do I get all the songs from an album to show in the album view?  Currently, if an album lists the artist plus a guest artist, those are shown separately and appear to be two different albums on my iPod.  How do I get all the songs on that album together on my iPod?  If the album is a collaboration wtih many artists, each sond may appear as a separate album.

    I used to have this problem.
    First, you need to go back on iTunes
    you need to go to each of the songs that are having this problem
    Click the album so all the songs drop down
    Right click the songs that have this problem
    Click ' Get info '
    Click the tab that says " info '
    The box that says ' album artist ' should probably be empty (correct me if I'm wrong)
    Click it and type the artist of the entire album, NOT the songs guest artist
    as such,
    ARTIST
    JAY-Z Feat. Justin Timberlake
    ALBUM ARTIST
    JAY-Z
    These should be separate for each artist
    If you write the same album artists for each song by that artist, all the songs should be on 1 album

    In your description you say the first document opens as the Title you gave it.
    Templates always open as Untitled so it sounds like you have saved a regular document, perhaps into your templates folder which is possible.
    Since you have already worked on it and it has been previously saved, Lion will now Save for you and Save a Version is available
    The other document does open as Untitled so sounds like a real template and as Peggy has pointed out will not have either Revert nor Save a Version until you Save it and have changed something in it.
    This is a classic example of just how Apple's supposedly "simplification" of the process, is leading to confusion of what has happened. That the conditions and resulting actions from those conditions is so convoluted says it all.
    It all reminds me of the Monty Python Life of Brian sketch with the "simplified" John Cleese instructions to the class, as to if you have a brother in an older dorm whether to hang your hat and bag on the hooks provided. The trouble is Apple does not get the joke, that it is transforming itself into a frequently self contradictory bumbling bureacracy. The price of unchallenged self appointed geniushood.
    The incoherent half baked stumbling juggernaut has reached new triumphs with its edict on enforced Sandboxing on developers when it is unable to follow even its own instructions.

  • HT1476 i plug in my phone to the  charger and i tried with two different cables, and it seems like it is not making connection to the clable?

    i plug in my phone to the  charger and i tried with two different cables, and it seems like it is not making connection to the clable. but it is not charging. what are some possible ways o fix that?

    When you plug in your charger and attach it to the MBP, initially the light will turn green.  If the MBP needs charging, a few seconds later the light will turn amber.  That is normal.  If your symptoms are different, then they may or may not be a problem.

  • Internet Speed sudden drops (need to reboot) - "FBI" name in WIFI names - Allowed?

    Question 1: Why do messages asking for help and complaining about Verizon slow speed do not allow a "REPLY" . Verizon filters them?   I see the messages but thee is no Reply button.
    Question 2: in the last two months my internet speed has been dropping regularly (suddenly, Pings go from 100 msec to 999 msec) and requires a reboot of my Box. This is in the Edison (NJ) area. Anybody else in Edison seeing this?
    Question 3: I didn't notice any new neighbor moving in but in the last few weeks there is a new WIFI that shows-up in my area called "FBI_investig_1".   Anybody knows if people are allowed to use such FBI name for their WIFI, just curious...  Or is this genuine when FBI has a local investigation? (not very undercover...)

    To answer your questions, once the ticket has been referred to a Verizon agent you can't reply to the meassage. As to why your pings times are bad it could be almost anything. You will need a Verizon agent to determine that. Lastly someone just changed their SSID to be a wiseguy. The FBI is not going to tell you that there is an investigation going on in your area.

  • Internet speed drops 85% when routed through WRT160NL

    I have a WRT160NL, and it decreases my internet speed from 3700kbps down to 550kbps when I route through it.  
    My ADSL modem is connected via ethernet cable to the WRT160NL, then I have an ethernet cable from port#1 of the WRT160NL to my desktop computer. With this connection, I get a download of about 550kbps.
    When I route directly from my ADSL modem to my desktop (bypassing the WRT160NL) my download speed is 3700kbps. I've checked all cables and connections. What is causing the speed to drop by 85%?
    thanks,
    groff5
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    As you are facing the problem on your Hardwired computer, then you change the settings on your Router... Once you login to the Router setup page.. Below the Setup you will find MTU size which will be set to AUTO so you need to change it to Manual and change the Size from 1500 to 1365 and click on Save Settings..... Then click on the Security tab and Disable "SPI Firewall" and Uncheck "Filter Anonymous Internet Requests" and click on Save Settings...
    Now you need to power cycle your Network... Unplug the Power from the Router and Modem, Wait for 30seconds and then plug the Power to the Modem, Once all the Lights are lid on the Modem then Plug the Power to the Linksys Router... 
    Now you can check the Speed, what the speed you are getting it on your Computer.... 
    If you still face the same problem then i think you need to upgrade the firmware of your Router.. 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...

  • My internet speed suddenly went VERY slow on all browser

    I am running on a Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5, 2 Ghz Intel i7, 4GB Ram DDR3.
    I am experiencing very slow internet speed after some system update some time ago.
    I have tried using wireless and LAN cable but both results the same.
    I've tried resetting routers in both my office and home but it is still as disappointing.
    Kindly advice on what to do? I've forgotten which update is it as it is some time ago already.
    I have installed bootcamp in my macbook and tried the using from windows but there isn't such issue. The internet was smooth and great.

    Try these basic troubleshooting steps.
    1. Quit all app scompletely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    2. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    3. Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Diversity and trying to conver two different areas

    So the whole purpose of diversity is to provide/improve coverage in a same area.  Basically two antennas placed with a reasonable distance from each other and the concept is that one antenna might receive a better signal than other and then both signals can be combined to get a single stream.  End result better communication.
    Now something I have noticed that people are doing is taking the two antennas and putting them like 25 to 50 feet apart with diversity enabled trying to cover two different areas.  At times two different rooms so like one antenna is in one room and second one is in another room with a concrete wall between them.  Apparently they are saying that it is working for them.  I'm trying to understand the logic behind that how something like that wouldn't cause issues unless they have clients only on one side?

    I've seen set-ups like this before and people at the site can (and will) say that it's "working".  
    Until I get a wireless sniffer out or do some scanning, it seldom works.  They will say that it's working purely for political (don't want to get themselves into trouble) and/or financial (they can't afford to put two APs) or both.  
    This may work (somewhat) in 802.11a/b/g but stick 802.11n/ac and I'm certain it won't work.  When I mean it won't work, I mean you won't see the full benefit of connection speeds of >155 Mbps. 

  • Seperating management and normal service on two different LAN interfaces

    We would like to keep administration and general service of Windows Servers seperate on two different LAN interfaces "A" and "B" (on "dual home" machines i.e. machines with two network interfaces).
    Is this feasible so that no administration can be performed on LAN Interface A, all regular Services runs over LAN Interface A and all administration has to be done over B?
    Reasoning for this is security - only certain people and machines would be granted access to the management LAN.
    Any ideas how this is best achieved?
    Thanks in advance
       

    Hi,
    We can use the firewall to achieve your goal.
    Firstly, disable all the port in firewall of LAN B.
    Enable the port which used by the services in firewall of LAN B.
    After that all traffic from LAN B, which is not related to the services will be denied on the server.
    This is the general method of protecting the server on internet. (It is usually to be performed by a hardware firewall).
    Best Regards.

  • HT204053 Can I use the same Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime services from two different devices - iPhone and iPad?

    Can I use the same Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime services simultaneously on two different devices - iPhone and iPad? It seems those are competing to each other, and the services work on one of them only (iPhone).

    Many thanks, Sir! Both are mine and it's good to know that imessage can work on both with the same Apple ID. Will now have to find out why imessage stopped working on iPad when it started on iPhone (new). After exploring the forum I understand  that there may be plenty of reasons why imessage does not work, even though it worked previously on the same device with the same ID.

  • How to make a checkbox hide and show div between two different pages

    Hi
    I am developing a mobile site application.
    Currently I need to make a checkbox effect.
    Here is how I want the checkbox to work for me..
    I want users to click on the checkbox, for an option on the editor as well as its content on the live mobile to hide.
    These are two different files which contains the user interface.(the live mobile file and the editor file)
    Now how can I make it possible to make both options hide or show at the same time after a user clicks on the
    checkbox to show or hide.
    Is it possible for a checkbox created on a different file affects an external file to hide a div within that file?
    If so kindly advice me on this.
    Thanks in advance

    There are several tutorials out there for dissolving a layer, turning text to sand, and similar things. Use any/all of those and then time remap that composition to make the particles form into your word.
