Slow connection with wireless, normal when wired

I've looked at the previous posts regarding this problem but I don't know how to do any of the recommended procedures. I can connect to the internet wirelessly with no problem but my wireless connection has become very slow all of a sudden (speakeasy speed test is 150-300 kbps). If I connect with a cable instead (wired connection) I get my great Comcast digital cable download speed on Speakeasy which is 15-16 Mbps! Previous posts mention looking at what the "RWIN" is set at and changing it but I'm not comfortable messing around with such basic Windows XP settings when I don't know how to reset back to the default if it doesn't work. Is there any patch from Linksys for fixing this or another easy way to fix it? Thanks! Kenshu

First thing is download firmware from www.linksys.com/download, and update it to latest version. Now follow this from a wired computer : Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser's address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name. Here enable MTU and set size to 1350. Go to security tab, and disable block anonymous internet requests. Change channel to 11. Go to advanced wireless settings and here change beacon interval to 50, fragmentation threshold to 2306, and RTS threshold to 2307, DTIM to 2. Now reboot modem and router.

  • Help with wireless speed when wired is perfect!

    I have Verizon FiOS internet and a Macbook 13" with OS X 10.6.4. When I am hard wired to my Verizon router, my internet speed is perfect (download/upload tests confirm this). When I am wireless, my internet crawls (and the download test reflects a FAR lower number). I spoke to Verizon and they said that it's not an internet problem because it works perfectly wired and that it's likely an Apple issue that's not allowing the wireless to work properly. My Verizon router IS next to my TV, but even when I moved it and put the computer right next to it, internet speed is incredibly slow. Let me know if you need further info and thanks so much in advance for any help!

    Welcome to the discussions!
    When I am wireless, my internet crawls (and the download test reflects a FAR lower number)
    Is is possible for you to take the MacBook down to the coffee place, library or other location with wireless available? If so, you can test to see what type of connection you get.
    If the MacBook connects well and pages load at good speeds...as I suspect they will...you will have confirmation that the MacBook is working fine and the issue is with the wireless on the FIOS router. If that's the case, you need to insist that FIOS techs come to your house so you can check out and test any changes they make before they leave.
    If, on the other hand, you find that the MacBook still performs very slowly, then it's probably time to have the laptop's wireless card or internal antenna checked out for proper operation at the Apple store.

  • Slow connection with WRT160N router through wired & wireless

    When I connected directly to my cable modem, I got ~10Mbs. But when I connected through my new WRT160N router with either wired or wireless, I got only half the speed, which is 4-5Mbs. Anyone know why or any idea how to change the setting to make the connection faster. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Login to the web administration interface and under the security tab disable SPI (stateful packet inspection). This feature is designed to detect wan interface attacks (ping of death) and block the sender. It kills your throughput for your internet connection. Try xferring a file across your lan (wireless to wired pc) and check your N speeds. The xfer speed should be 100mbps since the wired pc will most likely be limited to 100mbps by your nic. If lan speed is slower than 100mbps (assuming you have and are using N standard) then you may have a bad router. Definitely disable SPI though and that should fix your slow wan speed.

  • Very slow connection with Mifi 4510L??

    I'm hoping someone here can give some guidance. I am having very slow connection with the 4510L we just got. Via test on speedtest.net I'm seeing download speed of .17 MBPS at times it was so slow the test was not completing. I normally have 1 or 2 bars on the mifi unit and have seen up to 3 at times. I drove into town and see the same range (1 to 3 bars). I have yet to see the 4G light come on except for prior to activation (would light solid green at times) since activating I have only seen the violet light for 3G.
    Verizon advertises full service both around our city (Richmond, VA) and at my more remote location in Hanover. I have been through the recommended resets and nothing seems to improve the connection speed. Could the unit itself be defective? Also, I've noticed when I go to a location website it thinks I am in Pennsylvania when I am in Virginia. Could the Mifi be trying to connect to a signal in that location for some reason (was refurbished device)
    Thanks for any help you can offer,
    Brian

    I was having problems but upgrading to 2.28 seems to have helped me in addition to a few other changes I made based on this review of the 4510L
    http://www.anandtech.com/show/4500/novatel-wireless-mifi-4510l-review-the-best-4g-lte-wifi-hotspot/4
    1) "selecting WPA2 Personal/PSK (AES)"
    2) "manually selecting a channel (instead of Auto) fixes almost all the instability problems"
    (I'm not sure if it actually worked as the diagnostics always shows channel 0 no matter what I picked.  I did try a couple before one - or the myriad of other things I tried - seemed to make a difference - at least for now - fingers crossed)
    3) "allowing for one to select between each network mode manually, so you can force 4G LTE, EVDO, 1xRTT, or all of the above. This is incredibly useful if you’re right at the cutoff for 4G LTE SINR"  (that's WWAN Preferred Mode LTE only for me)
    4) I also changed my 802.11 Mode to just one mode that works on both computers at my house
    5) I am also careful to turn it off when I am done with it and take it off the charger for the night as well.
    It is my only internet service due to my semiremote location (no cable etc) and when I first got it as a replacement for my dependable 2200 I was about to pull all my hair out.  I was "forced" into it because due to antenna issues on a local tower that supplies my 3G signal my 2200 wasn't even able to load my gmail account.  Verizon very helpful on that - call us if its still an issue in a "few weeks"!  However, when I inquired about the antenna's effect on a 4G signal, an intelligent tech was able to tell me that it was not the tower I would be getting a 4G signal off of - odd but I didn't question that possibility.
    It runs very very warm but I suspect having it on the charger and using it almost all day is part of that.  At first I was wondering if heat was part of the problem - going so far as to have it sitting on an ice pack to test that theory.  Of course then I had to wonder if maybe I was freezing it -lol.  I am careful to turn it off when I am done with it and take it off the charger for the night as well.
    I've been on it most of the day and it seems to be behaving well - so fingers crossed

  • Impossible connecting with wireless network Netgear WNR 2000

    I can not log on to my wireless network (Netgear WNR 2000) with my macbook. My other PC:s work fine and connect always. My Macbook only connect after I have restarted the router. When I use my Macbook in other places I can connect with wireless network. What is the problem?

    I'm assuming that you're using the right network password!  After that, the most common causes of difficulty are:
    - The router not set up for DHCP and so cannot allocate an IP address to the MacBook
    - The router has "MAC" Address Authentication (a security feature - don't mistake MAC for Mac[intosh]) turned on and the AirPort MAC address isn't in the pass list.
    - The default "Automatic" location in System Preferences > Networks has been modified so that it no longer works.

  • Don't configure wi-fi (wireless) if/when (wired) ethernet is connected?

    Is there a way to have mac os x not configure the wireless if/when the wired ethernet is "Connected".
    My problem is that the wired connection is much more robust and I would prefer that connection.
    I want both to use dhcp and request a hostname to be associated with the IP given by dhcp.
    Since the wireless will almost always come up after the wired ethernet, it seem to want to
    still the hostname to IP association and establish it for the wireless IP address.
    This is not what I want.
    The use case: put laptop to sleep.  Move to a location that has wired ethernet.
    Laptop is still asleep with the lid closed. Connect the wired ethernet cable.
    Open the lid. Laptop wakes up and quickly establishes a connection using
    dhcp on the wired ethernet.   I little time later the wireless connection gets established.
    The hostname get stolen from the wired and moved to the wireless which is
    not at all optimal.
    If there is anyway to avoid this, I would really appreciate it if someone could point
    me to the solution.
    Thanks.

    This is a bug in OS X. It seems if WiFi is on, even if there is a Ethernet cable connected it always defaults to the WiFi connection. Even if the WiFi is off and you have a Ethernet cable connected when you turn on the computer and then turn on WiFi it again defaults to the WiFi connection.
    I notice this all the time with file transfers across my home LAN. If the MBP WiFi is on the transfers take forever.
    If I turn off WiFi files move much quicker from computer to computer. If I then turn on WiFi and do another transfer it goes slow again. This is with a Ethernet cable connected the whole time.
    The computer, any computer, should aways default to the fastest connection no matter what other connections are available. In OS X this is not the case.
    The other bug you are seeing is the NetBIOS name, Host name, not being propagated properly on the WINS tab under Network, Advanced, WINS, at least it is for me. Which stops Windows PCs from connecting to a Mac.
    Sure the Mac Host name shows up on Win PCs but when trying to reach the Mac it comes up with a Username & Password dialog and even though you type in the correct Username & Password for the Mac it comes back with "Name or Password are incorrect".

  • Wireless connections are unusable (slowdown) when Wired connection is being used?

    Why do Wifi connections slow down to a unusable when the Wired connection is being used continuously (e.g. downloading software, media, large files)?
    How do I stop this?
    I don't want the Wired connection to have some form of SuperGod priority over Wireless connections.
    We are using the Linksys WRT54GL router
    Ping/Latency times go from less than 100ms, when Wired connection is downloading, it shoots up to 550ms+ to over 1 second.
    Websites just time out or take 5 minutes to load a broken form of it as if it half the HTML cut off in random places and the stylesheet is missing.
    Download speed goes from 15Mb/s to .2 Mb/s
    Online games are unplayable.  I die before I can get the chance to move or attack.

    Thanks.
    Is that the only way it will work, device-MAC address one?
    What does Ethernet Port priority do?
    I enabled QoS with its default setting on which has all the Ethernet ports set to Low and it did absolutely nothing to improve usability.
    Does Wired QoS have any effect on Wireless connections?
    Does the field for Optimizing Game Apps affect applications on computers using a Wireless connection?
    There is a Wireless QoS section... However it doesn't have any options in it to select devices, port priority, or anything...?
    What does enabling WMM Support do?

  • No connectivity with wireless notebook but has connectivity with wired desktops in the network

    Hello! My name is Annie.  I have a BEFW11s4 LinkSys Wireless Access Point / Cable Router with 4-Port Switch version2.1. My three desktops are hard wired into the router and have no problem with connectivity to each of three computers in my home network and to the internet.  
    My problem is that my wireless notebook does not see the router. There is no connectivity or does not see wireless network in range.  The notebook is about two feet away in distance from router and wireless switch of my notebook is on. The WLAN Link is Green and the Link LED illuminates, which means that the wireless option is enabled.
    Please help! I travel with notebook often for work and need to connect to the home network and internet once I am home.   The notebook has no problem with a different wireless router when at work( 2WIRE).  It's when I get home that I encounter the problem when I am using the wireless linksys described above.  I also change the preference in my notebook to make sure the home linksys router is the first in the list of wireless router.  I only have two in thelist (2WIRE and linksys) 
    Thanks,
    Annie

    annie no need to do the reset since 3desktops are working already...you can see linksys maybe thats your own network since you never mention about any wireless settings with your wireless access point, right?
    so to make sure that you have the right settings check your access point screen or the configuration page to check or to futher configure the wireless the settings...try to name your own network so would identify our own network...

  • WRT1900AC and Macbook Pro Retina - refuses to connect with Wireless N

    I have the first generation Macbook Pro Retina, and just recently upgraded my D-Link D-655 for the Linksys WRT1900AC.  I also put the router on the first floor (the D-Link was in the basement) because there were some huge holes in wireless coverage I hoped to fix.
    To my dismay, the thing will not negotiate a connection with ANY wireless N device as wireless N.  When I set it to wireless-N only on 5 GHz, nothing will connect to it, and same with 2.4 GHz.  My macbook's system report shows the network as being Wireless G on the 2.4 band and wireless A on the 5 GHz.
    I have 50 MBPs internet here, and when I plug directly into the router, I get that.  However, I am maxing out at 20 MBPs over wireless with both my macbook and my Samsung Galaxy S4.
    I'm about at wits end, my next step is to return this thing.  I have been on hold with support for 20 minutes, which is freakin eerie because they have no hold music or talking so it's just dead silent.
    This morning I spent an hour on a live chat with support, and nothing she had me do made it better, and in fact any changes made it drop from 20-21 MBPs down to 16-17 maximum.
    On her advice, I re-installed the firmware, downloading from online, and this had absolutely no effect.  Any other ideas to try?  I get these crappy connection speeds sitting 3 feet away from it.  I live in a house, so no massive interference from neighbors (only 2 other wifi networks are visible)
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    let me be clear here: I had the same slow speed with both my mac and my galaxy s4, it is not a mac problem.  I had disabled media prioritization and the WMM thing in the settings for media prioritization.  Yes I am sure I am connecting to the right SSID.  The old router is DIR-655.  Part of the reason I wanted to upgrade is it disconnected my galaxy s4 every 2 minutes (and many people have had that problem, a quick google search verified that the router just doesn't like galaxy s4).  OS X 10.7.5 but as I said my Galaxy has the same issue - it does not connect as wireless N, and when I make the router Wireless N only, not one of the computers in the house can connect to it.  That includes a Mac Mini, Galaxy S4, Macbook Air, Macbook Pro Retina, and a Chromecast (which only works on the 2.4 band, but same issue there).

  • Very slow connection with WRT54GS.

    It appeared out of nowhere 2 days ago... slow connection for websites, very high latency for online games to a point where it's unplayable... i tried to reset my router, change channel(i'm usually at channel 6), moving the antennas... nothing. when i reset, the speed is fine for a few minutes, but after a while it's back to slow connection. My router isn't even 1 year old yet and it's already broken? I can't believe that, there must be some solution. Anyone can help please?

    The latest firmware is 1.02.0 if you have wrt54gs v6 & V5 if yout got v7 the latest firmware is 7.50.0
    First step you need to check is your direct connection from the modem.
    1. hardwire your computer straight to the modem using a cat 5 ethernet cable, if your download speed and your internet connection is slow, the problem is with the modem or with your ISP so you need to call your ISP and double check your connection.
    If your speed if fine straight to the modem then its with the router.
    2.Hardwire your computer straight to the router if your speed is fine when its hardwired through the router, then the problem is with your wireless card or the wireless settings of the router.
    In US the standard channel is 11,6 and 1. So play around with the channel. If its still doesnt work then access the setup page of your router click on the WIRELESS tab click on ADVANCE WIRELESS SETTINGS sub tab. set beacon interval to 50, RTS and Fragmentation Threshold to 2304.
    After that turn off the modem the router and your computer for 1min. After a minute turn on the modem first after lights of your modem are steady, turn on the router and lastly turn on your computer, check your connection if its fine then its fixed if not call linksys tech support.
    I hope this would help. Good Luck!
