Linksys WRVS4400N V1.1.13 slows down Internet speed by 50%

Hi,
Recently I upgraded my Internet speed at the ISP from 10Mbps to 25Mbps and the problem is that I am measuring only 15Mbps using speedtest.net.
On the day when the tech came out to install the new DSL modem, he noticed the difference and as part of troubleshooting, he bypassed the Linksys router and voila the net speed measured 25Mbps using speedtest.net.
So, why my Linksys WRVS4400N V1.1.13 acts like a bottleneck in this case? I didn't have this problem at the speed of 10Mbps. The upload speed is OK, it is 5Mbs with or without the DSL modem.
Does someone have any idea how to troubleshoot this problem?

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the tipp on disabling the IPS, I did it and the speedtest.net test resulted in 21Mbps.
So, it is already a great improvement.
It is interesting though, that on the IPS page of the router, all four protocols were disabled (http, ftp, telnet and rpc), so I am not sure if it was doing anything useful anyway. Am I right?
Since the tech from my ISP was using speedtest.net for testing and did get 25Mbps, I figured that it should work for me too. I am not sure if our ISP has a website for the same purpose.
In order to eliminate any bugs I was considering upgrading the firmware on my router, but I am not sure which firmware I should use, it seems to me that there are two sets of firmwares available for my router one with VPN version 1.xx the other one is VPN ver. 2.xxx
The model# of my router is WRVS4400N v1.1 but I am not sure whether to upgrade to one or the other VPN version is up to me or the VPN version range is already set in my router and I cannot upgrade to 2 from 1 in case I have VPN v1. (How can I tell which version of VPN I have on my router?)
8 hours later I added this text:
I did another test on speedtest.net and at this time I got 24.35Mbps, so you were right, speedtest.net won't give you a reliable speed value if you just run it once and you want to make a decision based on that. (Btw., I contacted our ISP, they don't have a net speed measuring website within their own network.)
So, I am done with the speed problem thanks to your right on target suggestion, but could you please, answer my other two questions:
- Was the IPS in my router doing anything usefull to me since all 4 protocolls were disabled - until now?
- About the firmware dilemma.
Thanks.

Airport Time Capsule slows down internet speed while uploading app

Hi All,
Internet speed is going down drastically when I am submitting any iOS app to iTunes Connect.
Previously it was not like this.
I have updated my Macbook Pro to Mavericks and using Airport Time Capsule for wi-fi connection.
Is anyone facing this problem? Any help on this will be very much helpful.

I have almost the exact setup as you, and airtunes never slows down my internet connection.
Has it just happened recently? Have you done a reset on the TC? Make sure you are using the g network, and not in the b only mode.
You can also make sure everything on the network are getting good signal. You can check the signal strength from Airport Utility (in the logs and Stats pane).

Can the wireless card in my mac wear out and slow down internet connection??

can the wireless card in my mac wear out and slow down internet connection??

Yes the WiFi card can wear out but not what you would really call wearing out like a pair of pants do. It can start to fail causing the connection between your computer and your Wifi router to slow down, IE transmit and receive less data in a given time period. And then it will fail completely.
But as to your internet connection being affected by a failing WiFi card no that can't happen.
If you turn the WiFi off and connect the computer to your router with an Ethernet cable does your internet browsing and downloading speed increase? If it does then there may be something wrong with the WiFi card in your computer or the WiFi section of your router. Hard to say which.
If after connecting the computer to your router with an Ethernet cable and your speeds do not increase then it is a problem with the router or on your ISPs end.

Slowing down or speeding up music?

Iv tried numerous times to to slow down or speed up music, I assumed it was changing the tempo but that didnt work and now im at a loss of what to do, can someone help???

I do not understand how you are not getting results after adjusting the tempo in Master track. I do it all the time to listen to note lineup and such. Go to Master Track, look for tempo and either adjust the slider or highlight the actual numerical tempo and type a new tempo setting. This will speed up or slow down the recorded material.

Linksys Wireless Router Slowing Down Internet

Hi, I currently have Optimum Online boost through cablevision. I noticed I wasn't getting speeds anywhere near what Optimum stated my plan includes so I called them up. After troubleshooting they asked me to connect the cable modem directly into my laptop(bypassing the router) and run a speed test and then do the same speed test when accessing internet over the wireless router. The results of this showed that the wireless router was significantly slowing down my internet connection. I currently have a Linksys WRT54G V6 with firmware: v1.00.7, Feb. 16, 2006. Anyone have any ideas what in the router is slowing me down. FYI I am very close to the wireless router(excellent connection) with no interference around(my laptop and a dekstop are the only thing connected to the router) and I have tested this on multiple laptops wirelessly and it all shows that something in the router is slowing this down. MAC Filtering is disabled and the encryption is WPA - Personal AES-CCMP. Thanks! Hope someone can help. ppc

Help! iOS 6 slows down internet! Downgrade iOS 6 to iOS 5?

Ever since I upgraded to iOS6, my iPad 2 Wifi became very buggy, internet somehow slows down considreably. Facetime, in particular, gets interrupted by a black screen with "poor connection" message frequently.
I have a 2Mbps internet, yes it's slow by worldwide standard, but it was adequate to do facetime video chat in iOS5, I had no problem whatsoever then, this only started after I upgraded to iOS6.
And it's not a connection issue, I've checked and rechecked. My other devices works fine with the same connection. ****, I can do HD 720p Skype video chat very smoothly on my laptop with the same 2Mbps connection, but somehow VGA resolution video chat on facetime is choppy?
I thought things would eventually get better with more upgrades, so I kept upgrading. 2 weeks ago, I upgraded to the latest 6.1.3, and facetime somehow got worse, black screens with "poor connection" seem to appear every 5-10 seconds.
I have spent the last 4 months trying to find solution to this "poor connection" issue. I have tried all the suggestions I could find on the net, I have reset my router, reset my iPad's network settings, change the date, etc. But nothing seems to work!
I'm fed up, I tried to downgrade my iPad back to iOS5 today. I just found out that Apple blocks us from doing so and it's impossible to do without jailbreaaking my iPad? Is there no legal way to downgrade to previous version? I feel that iOS6 is inferior to iOS5.
If there isn't, is there any other way to fix this poor connection issue? Please tell me something I don't know. It feels like I've read and tried every solution on the net and nothing seems to work.

The problem likely lies in your router regardless of whether other devices aren't displaying it. I use Facetime with iOS 6.1.3 and a 2 mbps internet connection without a problem.
Check for a setting for QoS in your router and turn it OFF. Also check for WMM.
I you need more help please give the make, model and version of your WiFi router.

Shockwave flash object add-on slowing down Internet Explorer

Hi Greetings for the day. Have you guys ever heard that the Shockwave flash object add-on is slowing down IE? I noticed this happens in all IE versions and it doesn't matter which OS you are using. I am a technician myself and I work for AT&T Connectech and experienced this issue on different computers a hundred times at least. With the shockwave add-on enabled, IE will take more than 5-10 minutes just to load Google website or it will not at all. The cursor will just keep spinning. If we go to add-ons and disable Shockwave Flash Object, everything will load as it is supposed to.
However, if we disable shockwave add-on, the user will no longer be able to play any online videos or do anything that required flash player. I have tried reinstalling Adobe Flash Player with its different versions and none helped. Sometimes, downgrading the Internet Explorer would correct the problem. In most instances it too failed. If you guys have any information on this and how to resolve it, please mail me. Thanks and regards

Pat and Mike, thank you for your responses. This issue look strange to me as well! No, there are no processes taking much space. In most cases, the CPU usage will be less than 15-20%. In few instances, I noticed svhost is taking more space. Still, IE could not load any websites. I mentioned that Google thing since even if Google doesn't require flash, it still takes for ever to load with the flash addon enabled.
I started to notice this almost an year ago. What we would do is either disable shockwave addon and educate the user about the same and install another browser for backup.

19 working fine, downloaded 20 - it crashes frequently, hogs memory, runs scripts and slows down internet. I don't want a fix, just reinstall 19

FF 19 was working fine. Downloaded 20 and within 5 mins. it crashed. Script running problems again and it slows down my internet connection tremendously. I don't want to fix it, I want to go back to FF 19 but can't find it - it doesn't exist Running XP SP 3. If I can't go back to FF 19, then I'll just remove it and stick with Chrome. I like the old private browser in FF 19 better. I run 20 - 40 tabs open at a time and the way the new Private browser works with the existing window open just uses more memory Thanks!

Spa112 slowing down internet

Hello, yesterday i installed a new SPA112 on my lan and as soon as i make a call, internet slows down to a point that its almost impossible to access any website...
This happens on all pcs on the lan, wired or wireless...
Is there something i have to configure over SIP parameters or anything else??
Been using xtalk and had no problem at all, so my isp connection is fine....

It's about your priorities. It seems that your outgoing bandwidth is not sufficient for both VoIP audio and "casual networking". With QoS the voice quality has been preferred over other traffic, now the priority is equal so network transfers may distort the voice or broke it at all.
Unless you are ready that the calls may be poor quality or interrupted at all you should use QoS.
If your line is so slow to take current codec requirements you may decide to prefer other audio codec and turn QoS back. Codec requiring less bandwidth will not affect your other network operations as much as current codec, but QoS will maintain your audio undistorted.
Ask your VoIP provider for list of codecs supported.
See Bandwidth consumption page for a codec bandwidth requirement (NEB is the column you are interested in).

New Time Capsule 2nd generation keeps slowing down internet. Firmware 7.6.3

Both ethernet and wireless connections, my time capsul ( 2nd gen, 7.6.3) slows down to 20 Mbits after a day or so. I then plug the Modem directly into my laptop, and the speed is 90+ Mbits. I then remove the cable and plug it back into the TC, and the speed jumps back up to 60+ Mbits. 24 hours later, I am back down to 20 Mbts. Ideas anyone? How to I get closer to the 90 Mbits? I'd even be happy with the 60+ Mbits, but why the contant drop down to 20?

The OP does not have a modem router so this advice doesn't apply.

Graphite slows down then speeds up

My graphite BS (one of the very first ones) has worked great for many years. Recently, in the past month or two it has started being very very slow then going back to normal speeds then slowing down. It seems to be random--I see no patterns as to time of day, number or types of machines connected, sites being browsed, or anything else. The signal strength is always maxed out, so it's not that. If it just never connected, I would say it's done for, but sometimes it's very fast, sometimes painfully slow. Can it be slowly dying?

I have a snow ABS, but I'm experiencing the same issue. It's worked fine for years but now here recently my internet speeds are tanking. I have a 5 Mbps cable modem but repeated bandwidth tests show that I'm getting 500 Kbps speeds or less on my PowerBook G4 1.33 Ghz. This isn't a Leopard issue because I'm still running Tiger on my iMac G4 which is plugged directly into the ABS and I get similar speeds with that. I also don't think it's a connectivity issue because I have a strong signal (3 bars usually, 4 bars sometimes) on the PowerBook, and as I said the iMac is plugged directly in. Now when I plug the cable modem directly into the iMac and run the same bandwidth test I get speeds in the 4.3 Mbps or more range.
I'd love for there to be some setting I could tweak to restore my speeds to their usual level. Any help would be appreciated. If not, I may have to break down and cop a new ABS. Probably will go for the Airport Extreme even though my PowerBook can't take advantage of the 802.11n speeds. I also have an Airport Express on the network for iTunes streaming to my stereo and it can only do 802.11g. I thought about getting another one to replace the ABS but I can't plug the old iMac directly into it. So I would have to pop in an 802.11b card to get it on the network and that would really kill the overall network speed. So an Airport Extreme should give me 802.11g speeds with my setup, and then if I ever upgrade to a MacBook Pro ... and if Apple ever releases an Airport Express that supports 802.11n I would be in a position to get top speeds. My only concern is will I fork over $180 for an Airport Extreme only to find that it gives me dismal internet speeds as well? I hope the problem is that my ABS is just old and starting to wear out. It has been running constantly for years. But could it be something else that a new Airport Extreme won't address?
