Linksys WRT160N Online Downloading issues Please help!!

Ok guys im a newbie to this Networking way of life.
Your help is greatly needed and appreciated here is my problem.
Equipment= Comcast motorola modem/Linksys WRT160N Wireless router/Linksys WGA600N wireless gaming adapter
The issue here is i do alot of online gaming through my Xbox 360 console i can host a variety of matches online and for hours and hours at a time no lag what so ever but as you know on the Xbox360 dashboard they incorporate a wide range of downloaded content whether it be for your game library or media when I click on content to download no matter the size of the file the speed is terrible it takes about 5-10mins to get from 1% to 3% and just sits there for even a longer period of time as it is at this rate I will have to wait anywhere from 1-2hrs to download a demo or a video or netflix movie. I've contacted tech supp on this and trouble shooted different scenarios I have also port forwarded the ports and I'm still having this issue. 
The Wireless router is located 15feet away from the gaming adapter FYI 
Please advise!!!!   

This may be a little old, but I have a WGA600N and a WRT610N..  I've had much the same problems but here is what I've discovered that may help.
The WGA600N in the initial setup connected to your computer doesnt have a means of specifying exactly how you want to connect to your wireless (no channel, band, etc).  What ends up happening is that you set your wireless on your router to be "mixed" and the adapter will constantly switch channels.
I went so far as to specify on my 5ghz band on the router that it be "N-Only" and the adapter still gave sluggish performance.
On a whim, after reading some advice I re-setup my adapter and gave it a static IP address outside of the range of my DHCP settings.  This still gave me no better performance.
Then, I decided to try hitting the static IP of the adapter in my browser, and voila!  I can access all the advanced settings of the adapter that you couldn't during the initial setup connected to the computer.  My adapter is using the 1.00 release and I'm able to finally tell the adapter to use "N-Only" as it defaults to "Mixed" mode and will channel surf on you dropping connections.
Having played with both my WGA600N and WRT610N, I can hope for a better firmware release soon but hopefully these tips help you set up your adapter and router a bit better.
Good luck!

  • ITunes Downloading Issue PLEASE HELP ME!!!

  • ITunes download issues - Please help!!

    I have paid and tried to download a film but iTunes repeatedly keeps saying there is an error and stops downloading it half way through. The film appears in my iTune on the computer but stops at th 40 minute mark. Any suggestions to download the rest or get my money back?

    Hey Davidl678,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are unable to download the purchases from your purchase history, because iTunes believes the songs to be in your library. It may be necessary to delete the items from your library, then re-download from your purchase history. Before doing so, you may want to take note of which song are available for re-download:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Delete songs, playlists, or other items
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12359
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store

  • How can I stop auto download of attachments without tapping on them? Once I open a mail, the attachment automatically starts downloading, though it is written as "tap to download". Please help..

    How can I stop auto download of attachments without tapping on them? Once I open a mail, the attachment automatically starts downloading, though it is written as "tap to download". Please help..

    To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to prevent the automatic downloading of the SD version when you buy an HD show.
    You can, if you wish, suggest that the ability to prevent the SD version from downloading through the iTunes feedback page. But since the SD version is needed for use on iPods and there at least at present is no mechanism for someone to download the SD version at a later time should they decide they need it, Apple may just continue to force the downloading of both versions. If they get enough feedback on the issue, though, they may figure something out.
    Regards.

  • HT1923 With the new update, the itunes wouldn't install.  I uninstalled everything. When I click to download itunes, it goes to the screen that congratulations on your download but nothing is downloaded.  Please help.

    I had issues with the new update to itunes.  I did as the website instructed and uninstalled all components.

    Please help/.

    Hi there, to authorize a computer, you open up itunes, and at the very very top lefthand corner, there will be a little window. Click on that, and it will present you with a list of options.  From there, you go to the third option down, which says "Itunes Store," hover over it with your mouse, and it will give you another set of options. From there, you can see the two options, "Authorize" an "Deauthorize computer.  Just  click on "Authorize," enter in your apple ID and password, and your computer will be authorized! Hope I helped, ~Samuel

  • Mid 2010 15" MBP i5 A1286 POWER ISSUE-PLEASE HELP-

    The MBP works fine when mains connected but the only issue is every time I take the charger out it shuts down on me!!! So I have checked with a multitester & looks good the only thing i find hard to check for power is the battery itself as its hard to get a good connection, also I took to local Apple store & they checked with a new battery but said its still same issue so the guy disconnected nearly all the connecters off to check if they causing issue & he said now the battery is charging.
    So they still have the laptop to do further tests etc, but I’m not sure what could be the problem hear as maybe there is some component which is bad so the battery’s not charging or what else could be the issue please help & advice as I’m really confused as if it was something to do with the logic board then surely it would not even charge even after checking with the multitester or like Apple genius done by disconnecting other components...
    ANY HELP OR ADVICE WOULD BE HELPFULL,
    THANKS GUYS

    THANKS FOR THE HELP GUYS!!! BEEN AROUND 5 DAYS & NOT ONE PERON HAS HELPED...

    Absolutely. A proxy can prevent the software from downloading and installing.
    I realize you have already purchased Lion from the App Store but a workaround in your case would be the thumb drive.

    You could try repairing permissions with disk utility, I don't think you will have the option to repair the drive but you could verify it.
    This may help you delete the files that DU made but did not remove when erasing the free space.

    When you get your SL disk it will not have the iLife applications, that would have been on the second install disk that should have been with the computer. I forget which version of iLife you will need for SL but I think it is this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-iLife-Single-User-Mac/dp/B003XKRZES/ref=sr_1_1?ie= UTF8&qid=1409607702&sr=8-1&keywords=apple+ilife+11
    A search of the forums will confirm or deny this.
    As to whether a clean install will cure your problem, i.e. partition the HDD and install I would expect it to be yes, but there are no guarantees it is an old machine.

  • Trackpad Issue - Please Help!

    Hi there,
    Hope you can help me out here.
    I've recently purchased a 15" i7 Macbook pro. The machine is but 3 weeks old &, of course, very well looked after.
    A few days ago, the built-in trackpad started behaving eratically. Cursor moving by itself, not responding to touch, clicking and opening things involuntarily. Not good at all. Many users seem to have had this exact same issue.
    These problems seemed to miraculously stop after a few re-boots and possibly a software update? I really couldn't tell you what resolved the problem.
    Unfortunately I now have a totally different problem.
    There is a thin, possibly 8 to 10mm horizontal strip across the centre of the trackpad that no longer responds to touch. If I move my finger from the botom of the trackpad upwards (or vice versa), the cursor will stop momentarily as it passes over the horizontal strip. The buttons are fine and the rest of the trackpad is fine. For the moment, I've increased the cursor acceleration so that I can at least navigate round the screen with a smaller area of the trackpad. USB magic mouse seems to work fine.
    If anyone else has experienced this &/or found a solution for this issue, please help me out here. I have rifled through endless threads about MBP trackpad issues with little success & do not live close to an apple store/genius bar.
    This is a 3 week old machine that cost me a small fortune. To be getting software/hardware issues so early on in it's lifespan is really rather worrying for the future.
    Appreciate your help here.

    I'm not sure what caused this, but I extended my lunch break and drove the machine down to the Westfield apple store. I didn't have an appointment with the Genius Bar but I managed to persuade one of the staff to speak to a technician in the workshop. She came back into the store and told me that they had replacement trackpads and that , considering the machine was only 3 weeks old, the technicians kindly sandwiched the repair into their timetable at zero cost. 2 Hours later, I now have a perfectly functioning trackpad/machine.
    I can't thank them enough.
    My only gripe is that I couldn't speak to a technician to find out what the problem was, how they resolved it or what causes these issues for future reference. Understanding why these problems occur often helps to build your own framework of understanding. Most of the threads i've read about trackpad issues are largely unresolved with people only speculating the problem/solution.
    The initial issue I had with the trackpad's erratic behaviour seemed to be a well known problem that many are associating with a trackpad firmware update. Unless by pure coincidence I had an immediate & major hardware fault after it, which is unlikely, my personal guess is that the two issues were related.
