Low bandwidth with E3000 router

Hello.
I just purchased an E3000 router to replace my old d-link. We have Telia ADSL (8 Mbit) and I've had little or no problems using a router before. When my computer connects directly to the modem I get 7 Mbit out of the connection but with the E3000 I'm down to 5 kbit. Most sites won't even load. I've tried hard resets (30/30/30) on both router and modem but with no improvements. I have no problems getting an IP address from Telia with the router although I do get assigned a different IP than when connected directly to the modem.
The WAN light on the router constantly blinks/flashes rapidly even when the computer attached to the router is offline which makes me wonder what kind of activity there is. As said, I have no problems connecting directly to the modem and I've tried different cables as well but with no luck.
Anyone have any ideas about what could be wrong?

Did some tests with and without router:
Pingtest.net without router: 0% packet loss, 15 ms ping, 0 ms jitter.
Pingtest.net with router: 0% packet loss, 15 ms ping, 1 ms jitter.
Speedtest.net without router: ping 9 ms, download speed 6.98 Mbit/s, upload speed 0.82 Mbit/s
Speedtest.net with router: ping 9 ms, download speed 0.15 Mbit/s, upload speed 0.79 Mbit/s (test 1)
Speedtest.net with router: ping 9 ms, download speed 0.03 Mbit/s, upload speed 0.82 Mbit/s (test 2)

  • Low connection with WRT54GS router

    I have just purchased a WRT54GS router based on several online recommendations.  HOWEVER, the signal strength is very low or low when the router is only ~20ft from my computers.  Since i changed the settings, at least it hasnt dropped out any more, but the signal still sucks.
    I have changed the channel (now 11), set the interval to 50 and the thresholds to 2304 as suggested on the forum and the firmware is the latest rev available.
    Any suggestions?

    Well try to reset and reconfigure the router .
    1. Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds.
    2. Then, unplug the power keep holding down the reset button for
    another 30 Seconds.
    3. Plug back the power back in, and keep holding down the reset button
    for 30 Seconds.
    4. Release the reset button.
    If still it doesn't work then please try to take your computer to a hotspot and see the signal strength.

  • Issue with Linksys E3000 router wireless speeds

    Hello! I recently upgraded my Comcast package to Blast and now I'm getting around 60 Mbps when connected directly to the modem via wire. However, when I connect via wireless, I'm not getting anything higher than 35+ Mbps. I have a Linksys E3000 router. The current settings that I have is 2.4 GHz, mixed network mode, channel width "auto", channel 11. I'm currently getting the highest possible speed on channel 11 since it's the least congested channel. I tried switching mode to N only to see whether it would improve the speed; however, it doesn't make any difference. Also, I tried speeds in 5Ghz settings as well, but I'm still getting the same speeds. The computer is approximately 10 feet away from the router. I've also tried testing speeds with the computer right next to the router, but still I'm getting same speeds. On the other hand, when I connect to the router via wire, then I'm getting the same fast speeds 60Mbps as I was getting when connected directly to the modem.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    You must use WPA2-AES encryption.  Set to 20 Mhz only.  Try channel 1 or 6 also.  Disable WMM (media priority) and try again.

  • HP Officejet 6500A plus with Linksys E3000 Router

    Are there any known compatability issues with this printer and router connected wirelessly? Whenever I print something with just text, the printer seems to work fine, but whenever I print something a little but larger with a couple images, or color the printer seems to take forever as if the connection is timing out. I just recently bought the printer last weekend. Average time to print a full page of just text takes a few seconds, whenever I print anything with an image it seems like it prints a couple of lines, then stops for a few seconds, then a couple lines, etc. Sometimes will stop for over 30 seconds. Average print time exceeds a few minutes per page.
    I have all recent updates, and I have the printer setup outside the DHCP range of the router on a static IP. Is there anything else I can do? I am hoping to find someone with the same router, perhaps there is a problem with my router settings?
    I just recently got over printing issues with it printing gibberish and pages of random text on its own, especially after I would cancel print jobs. Now I would like to fix this problem.
    Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

    OK, and the printer has the latest firmware as well? (Enable web services, update product).
    What is the signal strength (from the front panel: Setup > Network > Wireless Network Test)?
    Have you tried Ethernet?  Does it do the same thing?
    I am kind of stumped, here.  Perhaps trying channel 1, changing to WPA only, 802.11g only (as experiments)?
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • Low bandwidth anomalies at a university: 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T

    +Please note that this question was originally posted in another thread. In the hope of resolving this issue as quickly as possible, I’ve reposted this question in this thread- to cast the largest net, so to speak.+
    Over the past several weeks, colleagues and I have been attempting to resolve low bandwidth and throughput problems experienced by users at our university. The entirety of these instances are located in one building on campus. Working with one faculty member extensively, we initially saw problems including low download speeds, and in certain instances, exceedingly high upload speeds. At a first approximation, I concluded that this was the result of a duplex mismatch. Upon further investigation, and the inclusion of university IT personnel, we were informed that the problem was supposedly not related to a duplex mismatch, but rather a platform specific anomaly, specifically related to Macs and their supposed inability (or at the very least limited ability) to employ auto-negotiation protocols with any degree of success.
    My colleagues and I dismissed this almost entirely as ignorance or prejudicial. Was this an error?
    In order to test that hypothesis, we connected a PC to one of the drops in question; no substantial change in bandwidth was detected.
    However, during one meeting, it was communicated to us that by switching from the extant 100BASE-TX connections to a Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) connection that any low bandwidth issues would be resolved. Having made the transition for two machines, we have been unable to verify that the expected improvement was made respective to the new standard. Under the 100BASE-TX connections, we observed a range of download rates as low as 10-20kb/s and as fast as 4-10 Mb/s. After the switch to Gigabit Ethernet, the maximum download rate we’ve seen has been 80Mb/s; the average rate is substantially lower, usually floating in a range of 10-18 Mb/s. In any event, these represent a staggeringly low fraction of the expected available bandwidth.
    I’ve adjusted TCP buffer sizes (albeit with the Apple Broadband Tuner, not via the terminal), adjusted frame sizes (up to jumbo frames) and confirmed numerous times that the auto-negotiation protocols are indeed working client-side. On all the affected machines the speed (1000BASE-T) is set automatically, as are the duplex mode and MTU. Adjusting these settings manually seemingly has no effect.
    The affected machines include two Mac Pro workstations (quad core 3GHz and a eight-core 2.8 GHz), a MacBook Pro (2.5 GHz, 15 inch) a dual processor G5 tower (liquid cooled 2.5 GHz model), a Dell PC (for testing purposes only- see above), and a 500 MHz G4. The problem persists in various drops in the building, seemingly randomly.
    My suspicion is that the problem exists on the server-end; either a switch or router is configured incorrectly or perhaps a cabling problem exists? Unfortunately, the university’s IT personnel are not providing any answers. I’m wondering if I’ve overlooked something (basic or otherwise) that might be contributing to these problems?
    Thanks in advance!

    What do you mean by "no change"? Does the PC run fast or slow like the Macs? If the PC runs slow, then you should be able to use that fact to get the network fixed.

    First, you need to clarify a couple of things. Does a PC work correctly in this building? Does a Mac from the building work correctly in another building. You can try going to some random office store and buying the absolute cheapest 100BT hub and plugging that into the network and plug the Macs into the new hub. How is the speed?
    The problem is almost certainly wiring problems or a flaky router or hub. Unfortunately, no IT department in the world will even give you the time of day if "Macs" are involved. You have to prove that there is a problem that does not involve the Macs. For that, you'll need a PC or a hub. This is the one job that Mac can't do.

  • Win 7 and E3000 router

    I have just bought an E3000 router when my old router died last week.  I am having two problems:
    1.  The data rate slows down after a period of time (long message trail elsewhere)
    2.  I cannot see everything on the network.
    I have several Win 7 computers, two win xp computers,  three NAS devices (linux based), and a printer sitting on the network, along with two switches to cope with all the traffic (not to mention iPods, iphones etc.)
    With my old router, I couold see everything plugged into the network from my main Win 7 computer. (note:  the win 7 network map does not always work, but the windows explorer window of the network always showed everything).
    With the E3000 router, I can only see 1 or 2 of the devices on the network.  If I reboot the router, then sometimes all of the devices appear on the windows explorer window (sometimes not)
    I am running a workgroup (not a domain) and i am not using win 7's homegroup because that will not help with the non-win 7 devices.
    Is there a setting that will help me to see all of the devices in Win 7 (either on the router or on the computers). I suspect it is a router issue as it worked with my old Zyxel router.
    ...steve

    Dudztgp:
    Sorry the colors of the link didn't show up well and I missed it.
    My issue is that the computers cannot see each other in windows explorer.  Most are wired connections and if you go to windows explorer and look at network you only see yourself most of the time - not the other computers or the NASes.  This makes sharing files difficult when you cannot see them. 
    I have central files sitting on the various NAS devices and i cannot see them in explorer. The Cisco Connect says everything is connected.
    Everything that should have internet access does, the issue is this side of the router.  It is almost as if the message that a computer is on the network is not being sent to the other computers - like the router is blocking it.  As I said before, the old router did not have this issue.
    thanks

  • Airport Express and WPA2 on Linksys E3000 Router

    I'm running MS Windows Vista. I have a Linksys E3000 router and an Airport Express both with updated firmware.
    I have segregated my wireless network: My Xbox is on the N-speed band by itself and everything else, including my iPhone 4, is on the g-speed band.
    My wireless network works with full Internet access but I can't connect my Airport Express to it. I need help connecting my AE to my existing wireless network so I can stream iTunes music from my PC to the AE.
    According to this link: http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/specs.html "When joining an existing wireless network, AirPort Express supports only WPA-Personal. WPA2 requires a Mac computer with an AirPort Extreme Card and Mac OS X v10.3 or later"
    So I went to my router settings and set up my g-speed band for "WPA-Personal." But when I do that, my g-speed band ceases to work. I cannot connect my iPhone 4 to it and my iPhone has no trouble connecting when the security is set for "WPA2-Personal".
    The Aiport Utility (v 5.5.1) will not detect the AE wirelessly. When I connect the AE via ethernet to the router, I can configure it with Aiport Utility and it will stream iTunes music over the wireline network but then when I disconnect it, I can't detect it wirelessly. I've tried using the setup wizard and the manual setup. I've also reset the AE to it's factory settings and started again with no luck.
    I've spent hours trying different settings and I am not sure how to proceed. Please provide any feedback you may have.

    Most likely you entered the password a year ago when you first set up the AirPort Express (AX) and you checked the option to store the password in your keychain. If you do that, the Mac will never ask you for the password again.
    Open Keychain Access and see if you have an item with the name of your wireless network.

  • Optimal configuration for Cisco E3000 Router

    Hi All,
    Following are the details of my current home network setup, I would like to hear more recommendations and drawbacks of this setup.
    ISP has provided with a Cisco  DPC3825 DOCSIS 3.0 Gateway which has 4 Ethernet ports and a wireless networking but only 2.4 GHz.. This router is connected to the cable CPE box to internet. I have enabled the Firewall features of this router and disabled the Wireless network. This has also the DHCP server running. 
    The Second router is a Cisco E3000 which supports 2.4 GHz / GHz wireless networking. Connection to gateway is made via the 1st Ethernet port of gateway and then to the Internet port of E3000 router. I have connected my wireless devices to E3000 with GHz wifi lan. This router also has the firewall activated and DHCP server running as well.
    Both routers have WEP2 Personal / AES security configured. Currently these two devices are on two different IP ranges ..etc gateway is 192.168.0.1 and e3000 is 192.168.1.1.
    The E3000 is primarily configured for my online video for TV (Panasonic Vireacast). Please let me know if this is the best configuration or any other possible options.
    Thanks,
    RG

    This configuration is called LAN to WAN configuration and this is the best configuration considering that you want to behave both the router as a router.
    Because the other confiuration would be LAN to LAN then you can only use 1 router as a router and 2nd router as a switch.

    The first configuration in the article is is LAN to LAN, scroll down the window for LAN to WAN configuration.

  • Wifi problem with E3000

    I have an one-year-old E3000 router with 1.0.04 firmware. Few days ago, the connection started breaking up and disconnect at random time. Just few hrs ago, the wifi completely stopped working. Wired connections work perfectly, but wireless connections don't. I still be able to see my wifi name listed, but when I tried to connect, it reboots the router. I cannot connect to my wifi via laptop and phone. Any solutions? thanks
    Note:
    laptop running on windows vista, scanned for virus.
    E3000 router with both 2.4ghz and 5.0ghz turned on (tried disable one, but still doesn't work)
    All other settings should be on default
    thanks for the help

    Let me know how did you install the Router – means was it configured with the help of the Cisco Connect Software or did manual configuration? You can try the following steps:
    A] If 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] Clicked on Wireless Tab and make the following wireless channel-
    For Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz ---> Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
    For Channel Settings of 5 GHz --->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.
    Then check the connectivity.

  • Communication Error with wireless router, Works fine with Ethernet cable.

    Video iChat is fine when my MBP and other MB's and MBP's are at my house using the Netgear 240 rangemax wireless router. I'm currently running High speed Internet via cable modem through Time Warner Cable. When I try to chat with them while they are at home, I get a communication error. I then tried to use the Ethernet cable hooked up to the cable modem to my MacBook Pro. It worked fine. I would like to use video iChat via my wireless router. I don't understand why it is not working. I think it is my router. Do I need to buy an Airport Extreme Base Station or can I still use this router. Can you possibly help me configure this Netgear router? The internet connection is fine when I use the wireless router.
    MBP 15" C2D 2.33   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   Cable Modem, Netgear RangeMax 240 WPNT834 wireless router

    I have not had very good experiences with the Netgear routers. I can't say that it is the router causing your problem, however, it might be the effective wireless bandwidth over your router. Do a speedcheck and determine the download and upload speed with wireless. Hopefully you're getting about 400Kbps up and 400Kbps down or about 1000Kbps in total.

  • Certain pages will not load correctly (Low bandwidth)

    All of a sudden, some web pages in firefox will NOT load up correctly. They seem to be low bandwidth or mobile versions of the actual page. My home page, including ebay and a few others are starting to do that. It is only characters, without images or pictures, and everything seems enlarged on the webpage. Ebay has fixed itself however other pages remain like this. Google chrome displays them correctly. What is going on? (ive put ONE of the pages below)

    Check the version of Pages that you have. Many users are finding problems with the iWork apps in Snow Leopard due to not having the latest updates as of the September 28 installed. For iWork '09 it's Pages 4.0.2 & Numbers 2.0.2. iWork '09 has since had update 3. I don't use Keynote, but it should also be updated. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work. You also should consider updating Snow Leopard to 10.6.1.
    After applying all of the updates use Disk Utility to repair permission.

  • Extremely slow PS3 downloads with E3000 wireless

    As stated in the subject my PS3 downloads are horribly slow with my new E3000 (replacing a WRT54GS).   PS3 does not show transfer rate but it is taking up to an hour for 50 MBs.    I would generally expect to see 500 Kbps - 1 Mbps at a MINIMUM with my cable package so this is way outside the realm of acceptable transfer speeds...
    I have seen this through several patches and DLC off of PS3 over multiple days.  I have already decreased MTU from 1500 to 1365 to help with PS3/Netflix troubles based on other posts in this forum (that did seem to help).
    As you can see I am not the only person seeing this problem with E3000 and PS3 - there is a common theme here:
    http://boardsus.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-Network/SLOW-DOWNLOAD-SPEED/td-p/45496873
    I am not sure if there is some setting I can change to affect PS3/E3000 wireless transfer or if this is just a flat out bug that needs addressing by Cisco/Linksys?
    Thanks for any thoughts you may have,
    -Dan

    Try this.
    1) Application and gaming TAB, section QOS, enable Internet Access Priority, click down menu, select MAC Address. Enter PS3 for name, and enter your PS3 MAC address, which is found in your PS3 Network status listing. Save Settings.
    2) Wireless TAB, under Basic Wireless settings, change your channel other than 11, 9, or default. I chose 6, but you can choose whatever, except 9, or 11. That is the most popular channel for 2.4ghz protocol. So everyone in your neighborhood who uses wireless connections would be using it. Default is 11, I believe, on all routers, big or small. Save Settings.
    3) Under Advanced Wireless Setting, in the same Wireless Settings TAB, in the 2.4ghz section, change Beacon Interval to 75, DTIM to 3, Fragmentation Threshold 2304, and RTS Threshold 2304. Save settings.
    4) Setup TAB, under Basic setup, change the MTU to 1365.Save Settings.
    Now, on your PS3, you would need to let the PS3 Network settings to change, and then run the test. Got to Network Settings, Change Network Settings, choose Easy. You need your passphrase on this one.
    I was going to return this router today, and buy a different one. I've tested the Internet Settings on the PS3, over and over, with consistent download/uploads. Hope this helps.

  • Connectivity issue....................e3000 router

    Aloha!
    I just recently upgrade my wrt54g with e3000 and everything is going great except one thing.  I need to reboot my cable modem everyday.  The router doesn't need to be rebooted but cable modem only.   Complete power down, wait 10 seconds, power back up, and it works......
    Is there a setting somewhere I can adjust so I don't have to keep resetting the cable modem every 24 hour period?
    Your input/ideas/help would be greatly appreciated!
    Mahalos in advance and aloha!~

    Suggest you verify the configuration settings on your cable modem.  You may need to work directly with the ISP to do this, or you can try connecting directly to the cable modem and attempt to connect directly to the gateway IP.  To do this, you will need to plug into the cable modem directly (temporarily).  It may contain diagnostic info or indicate a problem with the line or connection. 
    You can also try cloning the MAC address of the modem to the e3000 if this is something that your ISP requires?

  • Need Help with Linksys router broadband-b

    I have a Linksys wireless-B broadband router for some reason it just went crazy on me. My wireless card is a wireless - G . Now when i had Verizon DSL  i  got this router and a USB  wireless adaptor from verizon. I had the usb adaptor on my wife computer and the router and modem  on my notebook for six months we had there dsl service until we moved  to a nother city. Once we  had all of our service's transfered  to the new home  we could not get verizon DSL there.
    So for a nother six months we had to use  dial up and being that we run a home business dial up was just not up to the task. Well we got rid of dish network  just to get cable T.V. just to get the cable broadband service. That's when i got a wireless card for my notebook anyway  for six months the network was working  just fine with the router and my wireless card.
    Until  Sept  this year just a few weeks ago the router started going crazy. Before my note book was config for windows to connect  linksys was connecting  and i would see all conection in the site survey,  and my own network  also. Until a few weeks a go  my network would not show .
    So i call linksys the have me download   some up dated firmware that would not install on my notebook or my wife computer after being on the phone for hours with linksys they come to tell me that  the router is ok and working alright after all the test   and steps they took me through with the router. Linksys tells me that there is something wrong with my PCM slot  on my notebook or either  my linksys wireless card. Ok  First of all i can pick up signal  on other networks  and go on line like the Hilton  Hotel  when i go in there parking lot, Second  i can pick up othr networks and get on line that are not secured  sometimes  so this tells me that there is Nothing wrong with my PCMI slot or the wireless card.
    Now i took my router across the street to a friend house and guess what he gets a signal  off the router with his notebook  but i can not and when we plug the router in the AC outlet  the internet light was flashing like crazy and my wireless card was not even in my notebook so that tells me that someone close was pulling signal off my router  but i cant.
    Can someone please explain this to me  i want to get another router wireless - G this time but if there is something that can be done to get this one working like it should that would really help.
    The Notebook has been checked out and config  and that works well when i hook the either net plug in from the modem  the  router was config as well but i just can't get a connected to the router when i use the wireless card.   

    Yes press and hold the reset button in back for 30 seconds and release.  Wait 10 seconds and power cycle the router.  Now connect to 192.168.1.1 username blank, password 'admin'.  Now try.
