Loss of internet speed using EA2700

Hello,
So I setuped my network as follows.
one Linksys Ea2700 model is the DHCP server and connects via PPPOE to my ISP and another 2 routers ( same model) connected to the router.
Now if I connect directly with my computer ( Asus G series laptop with Windows 8 installed on him) I get the full 100 Mbps connection the ISP promised.
Connected to the internet behind the router I get a speed loss to 40 Mbps wired connection and about 27 Mbps wireless connection.
If I connect behind one the second routers I use as access points the speed is at about 9 Mbps wired connection and 8 Mbps wireless connection.
I've tried disabling the router firewall protection but it only made things worse. Thou It felt a bit faster as someone suggested I couldn't use the internet properly ( the pages weren't loading but oddly If i could manage to download something it had a decent speed).
Also connected through one of the second routers I have a CCTV recording device that also streams to the internet ( with a setuped DDNS ) and it works properly. If I disabled the stream I couldn't notice much of a internet speed increase.
As a final note I already read this thread http://community.linksys.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/EA2700-wired-speed-issue-worst-expensive-router-i-e...
Incidently me and him have the same ISP.
So my questions are:
How do I decrease this internet speed loss that passes through the routers?
Is changing any of the routers neccesary? According to the specs these routers should be working fine.

Hi dkey89,
  Media prioritization should be set to 0 kbps for Downstream Bandwidth and Upstream Bandwidth. See illustration below:

  • Slow Internet speed using ethernet cable.

    Hi
    I have a an old imac, still working and running on 10.5.8 !!
    I still use it for music and simple word processing.
    I have linked it up to the internet with a ethernet cable and the internet speed is vastly differnet to by ipad / iphone using wifi.
    I syspect that its the imac and not the router?
    Any idea what has gone wrong and why ethernet connect is not faster than wireless
    Thanks

    DOH!
    It occurs to me --finally-- why you may be seeing this slowness on a wried connection. That latest G4 iMacs retained the 10/100BASE ethernet port Apple used to put on all consumer and educational Macs. The PowerMacs and PowerBook were considered "pro" models and had 10/100/1000BASE ethernet ports--much faster.
    You may see improvement by going wireless if your iMac has USB 2.0 ports:
    NewerTech MAXPower 802.11n/g/b High-Performance Wireles USB Adapter w/bonus ext cradle. For Mac & PC
    It will give wireless "n" speeds if used in a USB 2.0 port--that's the protocol your other devices are probably using.
    To see if you have USB 2.0 ports, hold OPTION and, while hlding it, click the Apple menu. In 10.5, the first entry should change to "System Profiler." Launch it.
    In the opening screen:
    find the code in the second line that I've indicated with the red arrow; for a G4 iMac the line will be "PowerMacx,x"--please post your code and your screen size (15, 17, or 20). From that we can find out if you have USB 2, making the wireless option viable.

  • Loss of download speed using airport extreme and express.

    I have Wifi using an Airport extreme base station and an airport express extender.  However, the download speed drops from 21 Mbps to 8 Mbps. Any suggestions to boost the express other than an ethernet connection which would be difficult.

    Temporarily, power down the AirPort Express and take speed measurement at that exact location.
    Whatever that is.....likely in the 8-10 Mpbs range......is what the Express will try to "extend".
    In other words, the Express can only extend the bandwidth or speed that it receives. It cannot make the connection that it receives go any faster. In that regard, the term "repeater" is probably a more accurate description of what the Express is trying to accomplish.
    If you want the Express to extend faster speeds, then it must be located closer to the AirPort Extreme. In addition, anything that you can do to reduce any obstructions in the signal path between the AirPorts will help.
    Ideally, you want a line-of-sight relationship between the AirPorts to help reduce the amount of speed loss that occurs with any wireless connection.

  • Help! Extremely slow Internet speed using Linksys WRT54G router

    I have an eMac running OS 10.3.9 and wired to a Linksys WRT54G router using ethernet cable. I have to use this router for my work PC. I'm also using WildBlue satellite internet. The problem is, I'm getting about 1.5 Mbps on my PC, but less than 33 Kbps on my eMac. It was running faster before using dial-up. I've called WildBlue and Linksys tech support, and they can't help. Can anyone help?
    By the way, my son is using his iBook on the same router, only wireless, and he's happy with the speed he's getting compared to dial-up.
    Thanks,
    Eric

    1400 kbps is a lot nicer than 33 kbps, isn't it? You can possiblly tweak it a little more --- I know I've seen a MTU of 1460 mentioned --- since you can also revert back to the 1400 MTU setting you found.
    (Broadband Optimizer is in one sense a nice GUI to the terminal commnads you found and used.)
    One more thing to be aware of, satellite internet is subject to longer latency times than cable or DSL, due to the unavoidable geometry of bouncing data packets off a satellite in orbit. That could be an issue if you ever want to play real-time online multiplayer adventure type games. It shouldn't be an issue for being able to grab OS updates in minutes instead of hours, through. Enjoy your broadband access!

  • Internet speed baffling?

    Comcast was here and tested my wired Internet speed, using three of my pcs and 1 of theirs. Theirs gets 160 Mbps download, all of mine only get 45 Mbps. They are baffled. Does anyone out there have any ideas.

    Ok no one out there has any idea how to fix this.  I have an idea that my account is not properly set up and that may have been confirmed today.  A modem assigned to another account, not mine, allowed my wired pc to generate 95 mbps, That must say that my account is not properly set up for the X1 platform I am paying for.  Maybe an engineer will have that fixed in the next day or two.  I want to thank those forum people who did not even reply to me, for absolutely nothing.  And see that this sight is useless,  Will not waste my time again.

  • Time Capsule only runs with 1,1Mbit up/down during data transfer, internet speed is ok, TC is used to extend an existing network

    Hello Everyone,
    I have a new 2TB Time Capsule running with a MacBook Air. I want to use the TC to access data (Aperture library, iTunes library, other Files) and to backup my MacBook Air via Time Machine. I set it up, integrated the TC in my Network (FritzBox) by choosing "extend existing network" and it works. BUT only with 1.1Mbit/second while writing or reading Data to/from it. Internet speed is very good, like it was before. While the 1.1Mbit/second seem to be ok with Aperture and iTunes (streaming music and movies) it is still painfully slow and I'm not realy happy with that
    I've read that:
    The 1.1Mbit problem is pretty common when Time Capsule is integrated and used to extend a network (bridge modus), it also looses all ethernet connectivity then (that woul explain why connecting it by ethernet didn't help during initial setup and data transfer)
    Is there a solution besides ditching the Fritzbox and using the TC to build the network? Because basicly I still need the Fritzbox for its DECT features.
    Thank you for any help in advance and have a nice day,
    Olli

    You have double hop wireless with this setup..
    You should bridge the TC.. that is router bridge not wireless bridge, and plug the TC into the Frizyboy by ethernet.
    Then you can setup the TC wireless to reinforce the fritzy..
    Same wireless name as SSID.
    Same security settings... really should be WPA2 AES or in TC personal.
    Same password..
    Just different wireless channel.
    Then you can use 5ghz on the TC if you are up close and personal.

  • Why is my internet speed slower on my 4g iPod touch compared to my 1g iPad (Wifi only), though we use the same router?

    i bought my 4g iPod touch just 3 months ago fromt the US. Internet speed was just fine and working consistently while i was using a d-link router.
    my Wi-Fi network is password protected and since has not affected the speeds on my pc or my iPad (wifi only). However, just 4 weeks ago, i bought a new router, an Aztec one. That has not improved or worsened the speeds on my pc or iPad, but worsens only my iPod touch, even though it says its connected and has a full signal strength.
    Here are the symptoms:-
    1. iMessage is now really slow as after i click send, the loading bar at the top lags.
    2. i can't go on to google or any site or app that involves internet connection e.g. Facebook, Twitter
    3. I can't purchase or get apps from the App store as the searching takes way too long.
    4. Now as i pull down the notifications bar, it shows temperature but no stock; i can't even access the Stocks app
    5. I can see the temperature for the day on the notifications, but i cant see the details for the rest of the week like i was able to
    6. I now cant read any updated emails on Mail as it takes way too long
    I live in a country called Brunei, and speeds are the worst there, yet they shouldn't be this slow especialy when my friends and other devices are working.
    So, what's wrong? Is it my new router?

    Have you tried a simple reset of your iPod to see if that helps?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Otherwise, have you tried any of the troubleshooting mentioned in this Apple support document?

    The 10GBASE-T standard allows for max 10Gbit/s. Gigabits, not gigabytes.

  • Anyone use Ethernet with power line adapter to increase Internet speed ?

    I have been using Wi-Fi for decades on all my connections and I have never used Ethernet because of the requirement to extend the wiring throughout the three levels of my house. I recently came across articles on power line adapters and thought this maybe the ideal way to increasing the speed not only on my 5K iMac on the bedroom level but also on my Mac mini used as a media centre down in the basement where I now intend to introduce Kodi et al to my Apple TV to increase my
    my enjoyment of Cable TV, which I am finding is becoming less and less enjoyable from an entertaining POV.
    I would appreciate hearing from others who have successfully chosen this route and who can express their views on the matter before I take the plunge.
    Thank you.

    My router is the Apple Airport Extreme which is 802.11ac. and the Bell modem (Sagemcom 2864) has been in use with Bell Fibe TV for the past 3 years. Bell replaced the Bell receivers in January when my contract expired and I threatened to opt out.  They are Arris models and are really better, but they never replaced the Bell modem, which gives me a whole lot of trouble from time to time, but I intend to bring their 'technician' back to attempt to resolve that situation. Three years these days can result in improvements in electronic components that are surprising to say the least.
    I'm really amazed to see the kind of speeds that 'Old Toad' reported, since my speed tests rarely exceed 17 Mbps Down and 7 Mbps UP, which explains why I am interested in seeking higher speeds. There is another local ISP that offers a choice of higher speeds, which Bell hasn't so far, so I may because of my predicament switch ISPs if there is no improvement available from Bell.
    Thank you Allan Eckert, "Old Toad'  and 'woodmeister' for your responses. I obviously need to find an ISP who can offer speeds double what I am having to endure now. One feature that is in Bell's favour is that the TV picture quality is actually superb, if only the Internet speed was on a par with that.

  • Firefox internet speed slow in verizon fios until I use another browser. When I return to firefox speed very much inproved = to other browsers

    Each time I run verizon's fios speed test in fire fox the results are very slow until I use another browser,IE, chrome, then back to firefox and rerun speed test. The speed increases = to other browsers. I have another computer on the same network but with win 7 instead of win 8.1 and do not have this problem. This has occurred over several months ,versions and updates of fire fox. I have tried many fixes to no avail. I like fire fox and want to stay with it.

    Hi karnack1,
    Thank you for your question and I am happy to help you. I understand that you have tried a few remedies for internet speed on Windows 7 in Firefox for Desktop. In order to better assist you can you please mention what was tried and if you are using a proxy or not, as well as a firewall or antivirus. Thank you.

  • Slow internet speed, being used by unknown websites

    Hello all,
    For about a month i have been experiencing slower internet speeds than usual. Contacted the isp and went through all the processes and there was not a problem at their end. I was advised to go to network utility and check how many processes there were, found out that there was too many to count.
    It seems i have internet processes coming from my macbook ip address from uknown sources such as ookla.com etc. Now i have downloaded spyware programs for mac which have failed to find any viruses or spyware at all.
    Now i know the problem is coming from my macbook as the unwanted guests our appearing under the macbook ip address, my router is receiving the right speed so it can't be the isp?
    Right now i am just wondering what to do to stop these processes using up my internet connection and potentially turning my router into a server.
    Any help would be grateful.
    Mark Lees

    Yeah i have little snitch but it appears to not spot these websites, i can send you a screenie of the netstat screen
    Then that would imply the only connections going out from your mac are from legitimate applications.
    lots of things will engage outbound connections.
    safari
    firefox
    itunes
    spotify
    and sites that you visit that have embedded video often host the video on other servers. So you would be suprised at how many socket connections you have at anyone time.
    If you have little snitch look at the monitor window and it will show all the recent connections.
    You could reset little snitch to default rules and then you will be prompted to allow or deny each new connection.

  • Internet speed significantly slower using Time Capsule

    I have a 50MB internet connection and a Time Capsule.  I use the Time Capsule to wirelessly connect my iMac to the internet.  I also have a desktop PC with an ethernet connection to the Time Capsule.  Lately the internet speeds have been very slow when I connect via my Time Capsule.  I experience slow speeds from the wireless and wired connection.  On speedtest.net, I can't even get the test page to load.  On my PC, when I unplug my ethernet cable from my Time Capsule, and plug it directly into my modem, I get fast 50MB speeds on speedtest.net.  When I plug the cable back into my Time Capsule, the speed is slow again.
    Does anyone know why the Time Capsule is causing my internet speed to be significantly slower than connecting directly to the modem?  And more importantly, how can I fix the issue?
    Thanks, Brian

    Hi Brian,
    Every couple of months I also experience the very slow wi-fi connection through Time Capsule (currently on firmware 7.6.1 but the problem has occurred also with older firmwares).
    I have been able to fix the slow connection this way:
    Test your laptop's wi-fi speed to verify the problem. For example, I'm getting only 2 MBit/s download speed at speedtest.net when the Time Capsule slows down, although my operator provides super-fast 100 MBit/s connection.
    Detach the (Internet) Ethernet cable from the Time Capsule.
    Connect the same (Internet) Ethernet cable directly from ADSL or Ethernet wall plug to your MacBook (or any other computer that experiences the slow wi-fi connection).
    Run the Speedtest.net test again. Now you should obviously get "full" Internet speed without Time Capsule (for me it means about 75 Mbit/s, never quite the same the operators promise ;).
    Detach the Ethernet cable from your laptop and connect it back to the Time Capsule (wait until the green light on Time Capsule). Test again with Speedtest.net. (Now I get around 60 Mbits/s over Wi-Fi, that is OK). Interestingly the problem now disappears and stays fixed for several weeks or even a few months, after which I simply repeat this process when needed.
    I am currently running Time Capsule firmware 7.6.1 but the issue has happened on later versions also. Perhaps you will experience it after running 7.5.2 after a few weeks or months?
    For background information I am running on the same Time Capsule's Wi-Fi network:
    A white MacBook with OSX 10.7.3
    Samsung laptop PC with Windows XP
    Two iPhones (3 and old 4)
    Playstation 3
    Apple TV
    Hope this helps!

  • Multiple Vlans with multiple Internet connections using PBR

    Hello all,
    I'm trying to wrap my head around this configuration and not having a lot of success.  I have several Vlans 3,6,71,72,160, and 180.  I have two internet connections, Internet1 is connected to an ASA5510 and Internet2 is connected to a Meraki MX80.  I'm using two 4506 switches on my backbone trunked to 3750 switches that my clients connect to.  None of these switches have IP Services and my 4506 supervisor does not have an Enterprise license. However I do have one 3750 100Mbit switch with IP Services so I'm using that to do my PBR.  All my routing is currently being done on the 4506 switches and all Internet traffic is going to the ASA.  What I would like to do is force vlan160 and vlan180 through the Meraki as their Internet connection and the rest of the Vlans go through the ASA.  I'm thinking about trunking my vlans from the 4506 to the 3750 (the one with IP Services) and use policy based routing from there to force vlan160 and vlan180 to the Meraki.  But in order to do this I think I would have to move my routing onto the 3750 switch but since that is only 100Mbits I'm thinking this is going to choke my network down and defeat the purpose of the 4506 backbones.  Any suggestions or alternate ways to achieve my goal?
    Appreciate any help you guys can send my way.

    What is the speed of the connection from the 4500 to the ASA and what is the combined speeds of the internet connections ?
    You definitely don't want to do all the inter vlan routing on the 3750. You could connect it up as shown in your diagram but leave all the routing between vlans on the 4500s. Then you -
    1) connect the 3750 to the 4500 using a L3 point to point link
    2) connect the 3750 to the ASA using a L3 point to point link
    3) do PBR on the 3750 interface connected to the 4500 for traffic coming from the 4500.
    If the 4500 supervisor/IOS version doesn't support routed links on that end just use an access port in a dedicated vlan ie. no other ports in the vlan and create a new SVI for it.
    You would need to update your routing to reflect the next hop on the ASA, Meraki, 3750 and the 4500.
    Disadvantages are -
    1) you only have fast ethernet ports on the 3750 so if the combined internet speed is greater than that then it will be a bottleneck.
    2) it is a single point of failure ie. if it is lost all internet via both connections is lost.
    The alternative would be to not have the 3750 in the path but connected to the 4500 via a trunk link and then route just vlan 160 and 180 on the 3750 ie. move their SVI(s) onto the 3750. Then the 3750 could have a direct connection to the Meraki device and point the default route that way (no PBR needed). The trunk would only allow those specific vlans on it.  This would mean a failure of the 3750 would not mean ASA internet lost but it would mean loss of connectivity for the two vlans routed on the 3750.
    You would need to add routes to the Meraki for return traffic plus routes on the 3750 and 4500 for inter vlan routing.
    The main disadvantages here are -
    1) inter vlan routing between the vlans routed on the 4500s and the vlans on the 3750 will be limited by the 100Mbps connection. However you could use an etherchannel trunk so you could get greater overall throughput and some redundancy
    2) more importantly though i suspect you are running HSRP between the 4500s for the client vlans and moving the SVIs onto the 3750 means a single point of failure for those vlans. 
    Personally i would tend towwards option 1) because of the SVI HSRP issue and perhaps because there may be a lot of inter vlan traffic and even with an etherchannel it would be too much. 
    But, single point of failure issues aside, a lot does depend on internet bandwidth in option 1) vs inter vlan traffic in option 2).
    So it's a tradeoff and personally i don't think either are ideal  so i'll have another think on this in the morning to see if there is anything more obvious that i have missed or maybe someone else will add to the post.

  • Internet speed slows down when connected via airport express

    Internet speed slows down when connecting via airport express. When connecting directly via the timecapsulethe internet speed is ok, when connecting via the airport express the speed slows down.What can I do to change that? Any suggestions?

    Turn off the AirPort Express completely as a test, and move your computer very close to the location of the Express.
    As I said before, the Express can only extend the bandwidth (speed) that it receives from the Time Capsule, so the speed that you see there with the Express powered off will be the fastest speed of which the Express is capable.
    The Express will make the signal go further when it extends....but it will not make the signal go faster.
    A good location for a device that extends wirelessly is a point that is about half the distance from the Time Capsule and the general area that needs more wireless coverage.
    If you locate the AirPort Express too far from the Time Capsule or there are more than a couple of walls in the signal path, the signal will be very slow by the time that it reaches the Express....and the Express simply extends a signal that has already slowed down significantly.
    If you already have the Express located about half the distance between the Time Capsule and general area that needs more wireless coverage, how many walls, ceilings or other obstructions are there in the signal path between the Time Capsule, the AirPort Express and the area that needs more coverage?
    Often, due to obstructions, it is just not possible to achieve good performance when you try to extend a network wirelessly. The solution is connect the AirPort Express to the Time Capsule using a wired Ethernet connection.
    There is virtually no signal loss with this type of connection, so the Express can be located exactly where it is needed and it will produce a much faster wireless signal in this type of setup.
