LInksys E2000 Wired internet Problem?

hello
I had this router for a year now and its been a replacement for internet speed problem we had for a long time and still has a problem.
Ever since we installed this new router, the Internet speed gotten worse in both wired and wireless speed (really worse that can't even load 3 min video on YouTube). We don't know whats causing this slow speed so we talked to Internet service provider and they picked up fine on their end. Our computers and Laptops has no spyware or viruses on them.
My final guess is that we have our modem and router is in the basement, which I notice that it isn't a good idea to be at, and might be the cable wire for PC internet connector to router. But this isn't has to do for wireless speed which is affecting it to make slow speed so I'm not sure about cables.
Coincidently, our internet speed is only good in the morning and slow speed starts in the afternoon.
Can anyone think why is our internet speed is slow?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

If you can change the Ethernet cable through which you are connecting the computer.. As well as update the drivers of the LAN card. For updating the drivers of the LAN card follow the steps:
# Click on Start --> on the search box type "devmgmt.msc" and click Ok...
# Device manager window will appear and in that check for the Wired adapter.. Right-click on the name of the Adapter that you want to install and click Update Driver Software…
# A window will appear asking “How do you want to search for the driver software?".. Click “Automatic Update"..
# It will automatically update find the latest drivers and will update it...
Check the computer if you are running Windows update on the back ground. If it is running then try to disable it temporarily. Here is the link for how to disable it: http://www.techtalkz.com/windows-7/515869-windows-update-enable-disable-automatic-updates-windows-7-...
As far as wireless is concern you can try 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] 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..
 For Channel Settings of 5 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 40 or 161...
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.

  • Linksys E2000 Parental Control problems

    I bought a brand spanking new Linksys E2000. I get great connection speeds and awesome range, until the day I set up parental controls. Once I set them up, It slowed my connections down to a crawl. Thinking that I did something wrong, I reset the router and did the entire installation. Everything was back to normal, but it did it again once I set up the parental controls.
    (Mod note: Post was edited for guidelines compliance.)

    Don't find it's Parental Control features useful:
    1. Can't set the starting from beyong 12 midnight, say from 1am onward.
    2. Can't set keywords
    3. Once you set the password, the Access Restriction function of the Router's web-based setting is disabled. You have to reset the router and uninstall Ciscso Connect and install it again.
    The Cisco Connect.exe file had mysteriously disappeared from the first computer I used to install the software, so much so that I could not run it, uninstall it nor re install it.
    I gave up and install it on another computer.This time I didn't touch the Parental Control and just went directly to use the Router's web-based setting which is more useful.

  • Wired Internet Problems

    I have a black mac book bought in 2007, had a few issues with it before, that were fixed by a repair shop. Now It won't pick up a wired connection at all, when I plug it in to a DSL Modem no lights come on the modem or the mac book its self. My feelings is, its possible the motherboard is going slowly, it is under warranty so I'm thinking they should replace it or repair it.
    Anyone else have any problems?

    Hi,
    The wired Ethernet jack on the MacBook does seem to be more damage-prone than is typical. Be sure to check the MacBook's RJ-45 socket to be sure the gold pins are correctly seated in their plastic comb in the socket. Several users have found the gold pins popped out of place, thus shorting out the connection. If you find some of the pins out of place, you may be able to nudge the pins back into place with a toothpick.
    Also, if possible, try a different cord between the Internet modem or router and the MacBook. Generally, you'll need a straight-through cable between the device and the MacBook. Hold up the cable end with the wire at the bottom and the pins facing you. Both ends should have the same color wires to the same pins. Pin One is the left most pin. Usually, the pins will have these color wires:
    1 - Orange / white stripe.
    2 - White / orange stripe.
    3 - Green / white stripe.
    4 - White / blue stripe.
    5 - Blue / white stripe.
    6 - White / green stripe.
    7 - Brown / white stripe.
    8 - White / brown stripe.
    Best wishes getting your connection up and running,
    Bill

  • Wired internet problems. Slowness.

    My internet was fine yesterday and now it has gone extremelly slow. The ping is 2520. The Download speed is 120 KBS. 
    And my Landline phone is also playing up. We called the BT helpline and said they'd check for problems and they'd call back in 5 minutes. It's been 40 minutes, they said to call '151' if they hadn't called back within five minutes, so I did and it just went back to saying 'We'll check for problems and call back in 5 minutes.'
    I'm trying to load a youtube video at 240p and it's been loading for 20 minutes and it's only a quarter loaded. Usually it would go to fully loaded in seconds.
    Does anyone know how to fix this? If so it would be greatly appreciated if you could help.
    Thanks.
    P.S. I've tried resetting my Router and waiting 70 seconds. Done that twice, hasn't helped. Reset my computer, hasn't helped.

    Here are some helpful (I actually did find them helpful!) tips from BT: http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/350​79
    There may also be some other stuff you wanna check out like what affects your broadband inside your home: http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/126​66
    It is worth checking for sources of interference.
    Electrical interference
    As a general rule, it's a good idea to stand your modem or router on a desk or table, and not put it on the floor.
    If you can, keep electrical devices five feet or more away from the router, especially:
    Halogen desk lamps with dimmers
    Any electrical dimmer switch
    Stereo or PC speakers
    Televisions, monitors and microwave ovens.
    AC power cords running parallel to the telephone line
    Electronic insect electrocution devices (bug zappers)
    Low quality 900MHz cordless telephones
    Any other emitter of high frequency electromagnetic radiation.
    Radio interference
    In rare cases, faulty or poorly designed electrical equipment inside or close to your home can emit excessive radio interference that affects your broadband connection. To work out whether this is a problem in your case, consider:
    Does your connection disappear when some electrical equipment is turned on or used and re-appear as soon as the equipment is turned off?
    If your neighbours have broadband, ask them whether they are experiencing a similar pattern of connection failure to yours, as this could indicate that there is a source of interference nearby.
    Sources of interference
    If you can identify the faulty equipment that's causing the interference, it may be possible to replace it or turn it off when you need to be online.
    Faulty electrical equipment (usually due to a faulty or failing component within the power supply):
    Televisions
    Video recorders
    Satellite receivers
    PC equipment such as monitors, printers and scanners
    Electric central heating
    Faulty lighting equipment:
    Fluorescent strips
    Seasonal lights (for example, the fairy lights on your Christmas tree), usually when the lights are in flashing mode
    Garden lights
    External "Hi/Lo" security lights
    Street lights
    Spotlights used to illuminate the outsides of large buildings
    Can you comfirm if your connected at the master socket? Because if not you need to go there and connect to the test socket which is the hidden socket hidden behind the split faceplate:
    And also do a phone line test by dialling 17070 and pressing option 2 for the quiet line test, in the test socket without the broadband being connected.
    Also this may help you if you do connect via the extensions:  The bell wire, such a nasty little thing! It's always connected to terminal three, and can be a great little menace to your broadband, causing it to interfere greatly with the speed:
    Here's a guide on how to take it out using the kits site (great site aswell!) http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/socket.htm .

I thought it was just my computer so I tried to connect to my ISP directly and that works so its not my computer. Des anyoone have a solution?

    Connect the computer to the router ..... check the light status on the router ....
    Power down the computer ....then the router ..... wait for one minute ..... power on router first ...wait for all lights to get solid ..... then turn on the computer ....
    Check the Ip address on the Local area connection ..... if getting Ip 192.168.1.X .... try to ping 192.168.1.1  ....... as getting reply....
    Open browser & use 192.168.1.1 under address bar of explorer .... it shows username & password screen ..... use admin as in password .... without any username ....

  • VERY slow wireless, FAST wired internet problem

    Someone... PLEASE help me. I just spent 2 hours w/apple, and they couldn't fix it.
    I have the airport extreme base station. It was working FINE, until a few day/a week ago. Now when I connect using my airport card in my MBP or my iMac, it get about 17KB/sec. If I go wired, I get almost 2MB/sec. Apple coudn't help me. Is there anyway around this? My dell laptop (for work) connects to the extreme base station and gets about 2MB/sec, so it has to do with something on the Apple side.
    Any suggestions? I'd hate to go and buy another router and having to scrap this expensive router and the airport express I bought. That's $300 right down the freakin' drain....

    First, double-check the AirPort settings on the iMac. They should be nearly identical to those of the MBP.
    Then, make sure that your iMac has the latest AirPort updates applied.
    Other things to try...
    - Create a new "clean" OS X user account, and then, logon as that user. (Note: You will want to keep this new account "clean," i.e., don't use it daily or add programs so that you can use it for any future troubleshooting session as needed.)
    - Create a new AirPort Location, and then, switch to this location.
    - Check Network Port Configurations and verify that AirPort is at the top of the list. If it's not, drag it to the top. While there, see if there are any other ports enabled that you are not using (Modem, Bluetooth, etc.) and disable them.
    - Remove AirPort configuration (.plist) files. Start by moving the AirPort preference files to a safe location. OS X will rebuilt these files after you restart the computer. The particular files to try are (I's assuming that you have OS X 10.4+ on the iMac):
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    - preferences.plist
    - NetworkInterfaces.plist
    - com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    Start with the first one, restart the computer and check the wireless performance. If no improvement, move on to the next, and so on. Remember to move them to a "safe" location first, just in case you need to restore them.

  • Linksys E2000 (2 Xbox 360's and 1 PS3) Open Nat Problem

    Hi everyone,
    I recently bought the Linksys E2000 for my house so i could enjoy wireless internet. The problem is i have two Xbox 360s which one is wired and the other wireless. It seems that i can't have both Xboxs with OPEN NAT and whichever one connects to the router first is the one to have OPEN NAT no matter what. This leaves the other Xbox with MODERATE or STRICT. Is there a way to have both open at the same time? If anybody knows help would be appreciated! Thanks
    **I have a PS3 also connected wirelessly, but that one is always OPEN. Didn't know if that would affect my PS3's NAT if i were to change the setting on my router.

    Here's a checklist. Got it here.

  • Problem connecting my macbook pro to a wired internet connection via ethernet cable adapter

    I am having a problem connecting my macbook to a wired internet connection in an area in my workplace where there is no wifi.  The macbook works fine on the same internet connection via wifi in other parts but when I add it as a wired connection it doesn't show any connection.  I have turned off wifi to make sure that it is not trying to pick up a poor connection but I still can't get this to work.  I think I am trying to set up the connection properly but can't be completely sure.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Open System Preferences>Network and make sure Ethernet is selected. If it is, open Advanced Settings (at the bottom of the Network window). Click on the TCP/IP tab. Configure IPv4 should be set to "Using  DHCP".
    Configure IPv6 should be set to "Automatically". When those are set click the "Renew DHCP Lease" button

  • Linksys E2000 connecting only to local

    Good Day, wondering if anyone can assist me. I have a linksys e2000. since recently i am only able to connect to the local network there is no internet access. this is a major issue because i need wireless access.  Does anyone have any solutions i could try. I am using windows 7.

    There's a possibity that the router or modem stopped providing internet connection. For this issue, you can check if the wired connection is working (wireless connection will not work if wired is not working). Connect your computer to the router and check if you can get online. If not, bypass the router and connect the computer to your modem. If the internet won't work, call your internet service provider. If internet will work on the modem, then it's a router problem. A reset and reconfiguration might be needed to get it working again. To proceed with the reset, just push and hold the reset button on back of the router for 10seconds. Wait for the power light to be solid and proceed with the reconfiguration. If you still have the setup cd, you can run it on your computer. If you don't have it anymore, these links will provide you instructions on how to reconfigure your router manually: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=93d3d72ddaad4d01b2f9da5d51eaf0d4_Setting_Up_your_L..., http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=80&vw=1&articleid=3687, http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=80&vw=1&articleid=3686.

  • Linksys E2000 Fail

    So the other day I am having problems with my router , I stop by Best Buy and pick up a Linksys E2000 . Almost the top of the line router, out of the box it will not talk to the modem. Ok I have Charter come and replace the modem, plug back in the brand NEW router still will not get a IP from the modem. I update the firmware in the router and ask Linksys support for help and still it will not connect to the internet. This is the 2nd Linksys product I have got in the last 2 years that have failed or failed to get fixed by Linksys !

    most cable providers don't have mac clone registration security on their lines but on some that do, you need to have that done no matter what the brand of your router is. Are you doing the MAC Address clone procedure on the primary computer? Are you doing it while wired on the router? The wired adapters mac address is the one you have to put into the router mac address clone subtab so you'd get connected. I would suggest you take a look at the mac address you are getting while directly connected to the modem first then write it down, go to the router setup page and see if the same numbers and letters appear, if not then change it to that and turn off everything then turn them back on. That should get you online.

  • Help setting up my Linksys E2000 to play a game

    I just recently bought a Linksys E2000 router. Works great while searching the internet and such.. But I get huge lag spikes while playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.  I know its not my computer. When I take it to work and hook up to my jobs wireless connection I can play lag free. Also if I disconnect the router and hook up directly to my cable modem I can play lag free.  SO I am fairly certain that the problem lies in my router settings..  Can any of you help me out? I don't have the slightest idea how to set up a router. I know the game says my Nat needs to be completely open while playing the game and that I should forward certain ports. I have no clue how to do either of that.. I will copy and paste some instructions from the forums for the game for you all to see. Thanks in advance for  any ideas.
    Brian
    Required Ports for Modern Warfare 2
    In addition to the required ports for Steam, Modern Warfare 2 requires the following ports for multiplayer:
    UDP 1500 (outbound only, no forward needed)
    UDP 3005 (outbound only, no forward needed)
    UDP 3101 (outbound only, no forward needed)
    UDP 28960 (inbound/outbound, must forward to act as a multi-player host, but no forward or inbound traffic needed to find and join games)
    Steam Client
    UDP 27000 to 27015 inclusive (Game client traffic)
    UDP 27015 to 27030 inclusive (Typically Matchmaking and HLTV)
    TCP 27014 to 27050 inclusive (Steam downloads)
    Dedicated or Listen Servers
    TCP 27015 (SRCDS Rcon port)
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You don't really have to set up a static IP for your computer. All you got to do is reserve that IP in DHCP reservation on your router. Get the MAC address of your computer, put that in the DHCP reservation located on the setup page under Basic Settings. Choose the IP you want, within the scope of DHCP. Make sure to save it. So everytime you connect to the router, it will assign that IP to your computer.

  • Linksys E2000 drops connection

    Hey everyone, I have had my Linksys E2000 for a few months now. But up until now, I havent used the wireless settings too much, I have had everything hardwired into the router. 
    I decided last week to set up the wireless settings so that I can connect my PC and Xbox's wirelessly. They are all within about 10 feet from the router. The connection is fine for a while, but after a few days it begins to degrade. I opened up a command line and pinged 192.168.1.1 to see results of 150+ms on my PC wirelessly. Wired it was about 2ms.
    All of my devices have a static IP address on the LAN, and one of my Xbox's is in the DMZ, still dropping connection often. I moved my PC and DMZ Xbox to another room on the second floor of my house and its still about the same speed.
    I set my old wireless G router up and its working fine......but I use my PC as a home media server, so 54mbps is very slow for media that needs upwards of 100+mbps. My ISP subscription is about 12mbps, which I get all 12 of those on a hardwired machine, but a wireless on the E2000 is lucky to get 3 of those.
    I have everything set up correctly in the router settings, MTU of 1500, with only Wireless N broadcasting. I also noticed that the E2000 will drop connection much faster if the SSID is hidden.My old Wireless G router is getting pings of less then 1ms wirelessly.
    I have the Xbox S models and my wireless adapter is a Edimax wireless N adapter. Could this be a defective router? Any options to try to fix the problems?

    I'm experiencing similar problems as well.  I'm going to try these settings out and see what happens.  Reseting my router fixes the problem, but I don't want to have to do this once a week or more.  My WRT54GS worked great, but I wanted the speed that N had to offer.   Its rather annoying because I hate having to go upstairs every time I need to reset my router in order to get an IP address on my wireless laptop downstairs.
    This seems to be an apparent problem among Wireless-N in general.  D-Link, Linksys and Netgear all seem to have problems with dropped wireless-N connections on their routers too. Read the reviews on Amazon & Newegg for yourself.

  • Linksys E2000 Suddenly Choppy When Playing HD Videos

    So quick back story. I stream a lot of 720p HD video over my network (both local storage and Internet streaming). I bought the E2000 about 5-6 months ago after my last router stopped working, and it has been working flawlessly up until now.
    So a few days ago, I was streaming a live basketball game, and noticed that all of a sudden, it would no longer stream at 3Mbps HD quality (or even 1.5Mbps or 800Kbps; I had to drop it to the lowest setting of 300Kbps to stream, and even then it was iffy). I thought...well, maybe this service is getting more popular, and they just need to fix their pipe.
    Then, last night, I went to watch a locally-stored HD video (720p, around 4-5Mbps), which is something I've done almost everyday for the last six months with this router, and when I went to play it, the movie would play for maybe 4-6 minutes without any trouble, and then suddenly, it would just start stuttering (i.e. play 5-10 frames, freeze for 1/4 second, play, freeze, and repeat for the next 20-30 seconds of the movie). It would then play fine again for 5-10 minutes, and then suddenly do the same. It would repeat this process throughout the entire course of the movie.
    Now, keep in mind, I've made NO changes to my setup, networking, Internet connection, or file server. I decided to bring up a network monitor to look at the connection while a video was playing, and this is the result:
    http://www.screencast.com/t/N886Il6rE
    You can see the normal spikes of data transmission on the left and right of the graph, but then the connection just drops off in the middle. That exactly corresponds to where the video begins to get choppy. Then, when it starts to spike again, the movie beings playing smoothly.
    Things I've tried:
    - I was running in mixed G/N mode, so I tried switching to N-only (only one of my computers has an N adapter, so this would not be ideal for the moment). No luck, still choppy.
    - Tried restarting every single computer, including file server. Still choppy.
    - Tried making sure the router wasn't overheating. We live in a cold region, I stuck it against a window that was 30 degrees F in temperature. Still choppy.
    - I tried changing some of the packet size/frequency settings in the "Advanced" section of wireless setup, messed with the frequency, changed the channels, etc. Still choppy.
    - I checked to make sure I have the latest firmware for the router, I do.
    - Played with relocating all of my antennas and such, even putting them in unsightly places to make sure I'd get a strong signal. Still choppy.
    I can't really think of anything else to try, and it's just so odd that this has worked without any trouble for months now. It has to be the wireless function on the router, because when I try streaming it with a wired connection, it works just fine. The ONLY difference I noticed (and I don't know when this happened) is that one of my neighbors set up an N-router, which hasn't been there before. They moved in maybe 1-2 months ago, so I'm guessing that the router has been around for that long, or slightly less...which perhaps could coincide with my timeline for this not working anymore. Could that be a possible issue, and if so...way around it (again, note I've already tried changing channels, etc. I can't run on 5.0GHz frequency because my adapter doesn't support it).
    Thanks!

    Hey, I have the exact same issue.
    Had this e2000 for over 2 years and never a real issue with it.
    Suddenly -- 3 days ago, it started doing this same thing. Fine internet then spiking and dropping occasionally, making playing games/streaming live video imposible. I had made no changes, attached no new devices, or done anything out of the ordinary.
    I tried all the same tactics you did. Power Cycled, rebooted computers, power cycled modem etc. I propped it up on some bottle caps to make sure it was getting ventilation (remember though, it hasn't moved from its location in over a year), and then I updated the firmware to the latest version. As part of the firmware reset, I did a hard reset and a power cycle to reset all the settings and then manually configred them myself. Still having these issues.
    The wired internet is fine, as one of my roommates can use it and I can connect to it and use it on this curent computer.
    Any answers?

  • Weird internet problem / ssl connection error, site loads in safari not in firefox or other way around

    I really can't figure out this problem. Search the internet tried all kinds of things, nothing help so far.
    I have a Macbook Pro (Lion originally installed) running on Mavericks (all latest updates). SSD installed and the DVD tray is replaced by the original HDD.
    The laptop wasn't running very smooth anymore so decided to give it a fresh Mavericks install (even though I know it's not really necessary for mac, it helped, everything is much faster except a weird internet problem came up).
    After freshly installing Mavericks I couldn't get into my google account anymore, just wouldn't load. Tried Safari (use this normally) and Firefox and Chrome, this last was gave a SSL connection error, both Safari and FF said the website couldn't be loaded because the server didn't respond. For Gmail I use Mailplane which is just stuck on a white page. I tried repairing the keychain, repaired disk and disk permissions, cleaned browsers, turned off firewall and antivirus (Shopos) started in safe mode, checked time settings which were all good. Nothing of this helped. I even ended up creating a usb bootdisk for Mavericks, formatted the disk and reinstalled from the start just Mavericks and nothing else, started Safari, still the same problem. As even this didn't help I figured it's not worth reinstalling all software so put back my backup.
    Now I ended up somehow only being able to use Gmail normally in Firefox, Chrome still gives SSL error and Safari can load the inbox, but I can't open any messages. I get the error there is a problem with the connection. If I try in Basic HTML mode it surprisingly does work.
    You would say, just use Firefox, finished...but the thing is that sometimes random websites won't load in Firefox, when I load the same site in Safari it works perfectly.
    O yes, I also tried the connect to my iPhone and use the Cellular data network, then it's no problem using Gmail in Safari normally. You would say it's a router problem, but I have another Macbook Pro (just one model later running Mountain Lion) this one works perfectly with every browser. Also my iPhone does everyting logged into the WiFi network.
    You can understand I really have no clue what's going on here, I don't see any logic. I can only think of a hardware problem in my Macbook, but don't see how that could cause these problems.
    I hope someone is ably to help me ?

    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.
