RV042G slow on IPv6 connection

For some time I have been running a RV042G (dual wan router) and so far no complaints.
However I recently got upgraded from 100 Mbit fiber to 500 Mbit.
It is clear to me that the RV042G doesn't reach the advertised wan-lan throughput. I have done a few speedtest on this connection using the RV042G and comparing it's performance with a Fritzbox 7490 on the same connection.
For IPv4 the results are pretty close:
Ziggo speedtest (NL): Cisco 329 (D), 425 (U), Fritzbox 450 (D), 505 (U)
KPN speedtest (NL): Cisco 408 (D), 570 (U) , Fritzbox 505 (D), 540 (D)
Xs4All speedtest (NL): Cisco 424 (D), 571 (U), Fritzbox 490 (D), 561 (U)
Although the Cisco never reaches the full Download potential of the 500/500 connection, these results are acceptable to me. I do note that the Fritzbox outperforms the Cisco on each test. The difference in download is pretty substantial, in each case the difference is over 60 and in one case close to a 100.
Now the reason for this post is the pathetic (I have no other words for it) performance when testing using IPv6.
two of the above speedtests also provide a IPv6 test with these results:
Ziggo: cisco 112 (D), 129 (U), Fritzbox 463 (D), 375 (U)
KPN: cisco 114 (D), 132 (U), Fritzbox 483 (D), 404 (U)
This is taking the Mickey. The difference in some cases means the fritzbox is almost 4 times faster on the same WAN connection as the Cisco.
Now before I wouldn't notice as my primairy Wan connection was only 100 mbs and the secondairy is only 40/4. But now that my primairy is 500/500 I would like to at least closely utilize it's potention.
But alas, the Cisco doesn't allow me to reach this potention, The fritzbox does, but that's no option as it doesn't have dual wan.
Is there anything I have to tweak to get better results, or is this an issue in the firmware ?
edit: to add, the testing has been done around the same time, with the exact same equipment and cabling, the only difference is the router itself, all the other variables are the same.

No- the other ones are 32bit and older kernels (not as bleeding edge as Arch). I tried the legacy 2.6 kernel in Arch and the delay is still there.
I have not tried 32bit Arch, I'll give that a shot with the live cd just in case.

How do I configure ISP native IPv6 connectivity?

Hi!
I'm a network engineer for SECOM, an ISP in Southeastern Colorado. We will be making native IPv6 connectivity available to residential subscribers soon, and I've been tasked with verifying support for our IPv6 platform on home router products.
I have an AirPort Extreme purchased new in November of '09 that is running version 7.5.1, which I believe is completely current.
Under the IPv6 tab in my Advanced settings, I have the following configuration:
IPv6 Mode: Router
Block incoming IPv6 connections: NOT checked
Configure IPv6: Manually
WAN IPv6 Address: fdXX:XXXX:XXXX:a000::2
WAN IPv6 Prefix Length: 64
IPv6 Default Route: fdXX:XXXX:XXXX:a000::1
LAN IPv6 Address: fdXX:XXXX:XXXX:c000::1
(As you can see, I'm using ULA's for testing purposes, and I've replaced the global bits with X's for security.)
The problem is, if I plug a host into one of the LAN ports and assign it an address from the same /64 subnet (e.g. fdXX:XXXX:XXXX:c000::2), the host can't ping the Airport's assigned LAN address.
It can ping:
* the Airport's link-local IPv6 address, and
* the Airport's IPv4 192.168.x.x address
Also (and I'm gratified that this part is working), my CE router can ping the Airport's WAN IPv6 address!
So my question is, is there something in the IPv6 configuration I'm misunderstanding? Has anyone else gotten native statically-configured IPv6 working on the AirPort Extreme?
Thanks very much in advance,
John E. / SECOM
P.S. - I have verified with a packet capture that the AirPort extreme is not responding at all for the configured LAN IPv6 address; i.e., the ICMPv6 neighbor solicitation goes unanswered.
P.P.S. - I have tried a Windows 7 host, a Windows XP host, and an IPv6-certified multitester from JDSU. All exhibit the same symptoms.

I have follow your instruction to connect to my ISP as it shows the following message:
Serial connection established.
using interface sppp0
connect: sppp0 <--> /dev/ttya
local IP address xxxxxxxx
remote IP address 1.1.1.1
But when I ping www.sun.com, it shows:
www.sun.com unknown.
I start Mozilla and it said www.sun.com not found etc...
What has gone wrong?
Do I have to configure some files such as:
/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/hosts
/etc/hostname ?
or any other steps that can help me to connect to the internet?
Thanks...

RV220W - Trying to setup an IPv6 connection

Hi,
My ISP provides IPv6 connectivity in the form of dual stack IPv4/IPv6 with DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation. Using a Cisco IOS-based router I managed to make such a connection by using as a template the Cisco IOS configuration file that my ISP has posted as an example in the following link:
http://ipv6.otenet.gr/current-config.txt
The main point on this configuration is a PPPoE connection with:
interface Dialer46
ipv6 address autoconfig default
ipv6 enable
ipv6 dhcp client pd LAN_DHCP
interface Vlan1
description local LAN
ipv6 address LAN_DHCP ::/64 eui-64
ipv6 enable
ipv6 nd other-config-flag
ipv6 dhcp server LAN_DHCP
I am now trying to configure an RV220W router on the same network but I cannot make it establish an IPv6 connection. Perhaps I am not setting it up correctly to make it work similarly to the Cisco IOS-based router. My settings are the following:
Networking -> IPv6 ->
IP Mode - IPv4 and IPv6 Dual-Stack
IPv6 WAN - DHCPv6 + Stateless Address Auto Configuration
IPv6 LAN - IPv6 Address: fec0::1, IPv6 Prefix Length: 64, DHCP Status: Enable DHCPv6 Server, DHCP Mode: Stateless, DNS Servers: Use DNS from ISP.
Router Advertisement: Status: Enable, Advertise Mode: Unsolicited Multicast
When I check the Summary page I see that although a have a proper working IPv4 connection, the IPv6 information is the following:
WAN (Internet) Information (IPv6)
Connection Time:                0 Days 00:07:10
Connection Type:                Dynamic IP (DHCP)
Connection State:               Connected
IP Address:                        fe80::5a8d:9ff:fee2:f9d3/64
Gateway:                           fe80::200:ff:fe00:0
DNS Servers:
which is of course wrong.
Could someone please help me to configure this router according the Cisco IOS configuration file I linked on the top in order to have a working IPv6 connection?

So, I did a WAN packet capture to see that type of DHCPv6 packets the router sends to the ISP in order to obtain an IPv6 address and I saw that the router is sending DHCPv6 solicitation packets of type IA_NA i.e. for Identity Association for Non-temporary Address. However, most ISPs that offer a dual stack IP4/IPv6 service, they use DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation in which case the router is expected to send DHCPv6 solicitation packets of type IA_PD i.e. for Identity Association for Prefix Delegation.
Therefore, this router does not support DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation services with firmware 1.0.3.5 and as a result in practice it is only good for tunnel IPv6 connections.
Are there any plans to provide support for Prefix Delegation?

How to Enable IPv6 Connection Permanently ?

How to Enable IPv6 Connection Permanently ?
I've searched Microsoft's websites for hours trying to enable IPv6 but no one seems to know.
I've enabled IPv6 from the registry but it disables after restart.
I think ESET Endpoint is disabling it.
I have got IPv6 enabled on the Router.
Please help.

Hi,
Microsoft already provide a hotfix to enable IPV6, you can access to the link below to download it for test.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929852
Note: I made a test in Windows 8.1, these hotfix also works fine.

IPad slow in re-connecting to a known WiFi network

Hi all,
I have noticed that my iPad is sometimes slow in re-connecting to a known wi-fi network (my home network).
I have been doing some online research and it seems like it's an issue apple acknowledged.
Normally it connects right away, other times it takes about 4-5 seconds.
In rare occasions it takes up to a minute...
Is this normal?
Message was edited by: renzopanta

The only times mine does not instant connect is when it has been away from the network for a period of time...and then it seems like only a second or two. Safari opens immediately but mail can take several seconds to figure out the connection. If I stay within the router signal, and sleep the iPad, when it wakes it is on the network with no delay.
Hope this helps.

dovdov2,
are you saying that when you connect your MacBook Pro to a monitor, your Internet connection slows down, but when you disconnect the monitor, it speeds up again, and that this is reproducible from one day to another?
Does this happen both under OS X and under Windows 7, or only under one of them?
How are you currently connecting your MacBook Pro to your monitor?

Looks like an AT&T PPPOE connection - the addresses of those change all of the time. Make sure that the "Client IPv4 address" is correct at the HE side.
You can update it with a URL, see http://fcartegnie.free.fr/articles/Hurricane%27s%20IPv6%20TunnelBroker%20Endpoin t%20ipv4%20address%20updater.html for details one endpoint updateing using just a URL.

Ipv6 connection problem on flash

hi all
I am using as3 code for the connection to my flash server application(red5-written in java)
I am unable to connect my red5 application by using itS ipv6 address.
* added -Djava.net.preferIPv6Addresses=true jvm option
And at the client side(flash), as [1] says: I am trying to connect the application like :
* netConnection.connect("rtmp://[%d:%d:%d:%d:%d:%d:%d:%d]:1935/Red5Application");
I see on the red5 application logs that client application connects the application but after that disconnects immediately.
I filed a bug report about this issue. Have a look at it please [2]
I have been struggling to success the ipv6 connection on flash for a long time. But I have never get any serious answer.
If any of you had an experience about this, please let me know how did you achieve this.
Thanks

Can others on a shared wi-fi slow down my connection or block my connection with software or special hardware?

Hi, Can others on a shared wi-fi slow down my connection or block my connection with software or special hardware? My connection has been very spotty and many times cuts off. The router is in our upstairs living room only 70 feet from my room, but it just seems like recent connections have been horrible. Also, I noticed the following image when trying to access the apple webpage. Anyone know what that might be? It's not the usual apple icon next to the address.
thanks
Dave

Welcome,
Indeed, by definition other users would "share" the bandwith and hence slow you down - but not cut you off.
More likely is that there are other devices (e.g. cordless phones) are causing interference. You don't specify which AP you have but if it an 802.11n one you should get better reception as the 5GHz range does get so much interference.
Try utilities like NetSpot or iStumbler to see what's in range.
The icon on the web page is probably something else not related to WiFi

Shawn

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.

EA6300 - no ipv6 connection (ipv4 - ok)

Hi all,
I can't get the wired PC to have ipv6 connectivity throgh EA6300.
When I connect directly to the fiber modem i have both ipv4 & ipv6 connectivity.
Is this a known issue and will it be addressed in a firmware?

The PC is running Win 8.1 Pro.
The fiber modem is a HG865.
When I connect the PC directly to the modem trough PPPOE everything works.
I have both ipv4 & ipv6 connectivity - tested.
When I connect the PC trough EA6300 (EA6300 connected to the modem again trough PPPOE) I get only ipv4 connectivity.

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.

Slow Wi-Fi connection with both Extreme and Express

Hi all,
I have problems with slow Wi-Fi connection at home. With my 100/100 Mbit/s fiber I have an Airport Extreme 802.11ac connected by Ethernet cable directly into the cable modem.
With only the Extreme as a router I was not satisfied with the Wi-Fi range and therefore also bought an Airport Express 802.11n (2nd generation ) to extend the network with.
The range got better but I'm facing real slow Wi-Fi connection both on the Extreme and the Express.
Example - When connected to the Extreme less than 1 meter from it I normally get a down speed on 30 Mbit/s and on the Express (placed 8 meters from the Extreme) I normally get between 2 to 8 Mbit/s down speed.
I have a couple of questions about this issue below that I hope someone can answer.
1. The Extreme and the Express are connected wireless. If I connect them together with cable instead, will I then get the same speed from the Express that I have on the Extreme?
2. I've read in several forums that the latest versions on the Extreme and Express causes bad Wi-Fi connections and an downgrade to earlier version is recommended. My problem is that Airport Utility only can find the latest versions when trying to downgrade (bought both of them recently).
How can I downgrade to earlier versions when Airport Utility can't find them? If possible, is this still recommended to do?
Current versions:
Extreme - 7.7.3
Express - 7.6.4
3. Could it cause problems if the Extreme and Express doesn't have the same versions, or is this normal?
4. Any suggestions to improve the down speed on my Wi-Fi connection?
Thanks in advance!

1. Cable connections are always better.
But test first.. turn off the express.. reboot or even factory reset the extreme and have another go with it.
On a computer plugged in by ethernet test the speed.. wireless should be off..
So the most important thing is .. do you get full speed by ethernet.. if not you will never get it by wireless.. always less.. and sometimes much less.
2. You cannot downgrade either of those models. So you are stuck with them as is..
3. I think wireless links are always problematic.. by the very nature of the beast you will drop your speed by half.. so if the links were perfect.. and the Extreme wireless gives you 30Mbit then the best the express could ever give you is 15Mbit.. it is the nature of wireless.
4. Yes.. we can make suggestions.
But give me the pure wired network speed first. If that is low then tell me what modem you are using, which you mentioned.. normally a fibre system has no modem just a fibre converter to ethernet called ONT. Optical Network Terminal
