Slow internet with Linksys E2500

Hi- I have an e2500 that I have bought about 7 months ago. Recently (about a week ago), it started to perform slow wired or wireless showing a speed of 120kbps. I have 5Mbps service from the ISP (Cox). I checked the speed at the modem and it was about 5Mbps. I have applied all the suggested online tips to speed it up (disabled Vmm, QoS, updated firmware, router reset, 20khz, etc..) nothing worked. This is my second linksys. My first one lasted just over a year so decided to upgrade it to the e2500. Now I am having problems with this one too. I am stuck. this is my last attemp before I ditch it amd move on to another brand.
Appreciate your help in advance.
Thanks.
Solved!

Hi again,
Just want to tell you that I did a hard reset to the router last night after the firmware upgrade. Nothing changed. The bandwidth is still slow. There is one thing that I have discovered though. I have three laptops at home, a Gateway (OS: Windows 7), an HP (Windows 7) and an Asus (Windows 8.1). When one is on line, the internet speed on that laptop is fine; 5m upload and 1M download. I don't do any gaming I just surfing the internet. As soon as another laptop goes on line, the upload speed drops to .33m and the download drops to .19m. It doesn’t matter which combination of laptops I turn on. My Vonage phone will ring one time and then it goes directly to the voice mail. sometimes when the bandwidth is somewhat decent, you will notice a delay during the conversation. If the third one goes online, neither one of us can go to the internet. Like I mentioned before, I have disabled the Vmm and the UPnP. Nothing seems to help. This started a week to 10 days ago. I have had the same setup for about 7 months with no problem. Any other ideas? Thanks.

Time Capsule slow internet with Linksys router

I has issues with slow internet page loads. I have a Linksys WAG325N router connect to Telstra ADSL 2 with a Time Capsule. I use two wireless network one broadcasted from Linksys and the other wireless network from the Time Capsule. When i'm connected to the time capsule i had slow internet page loads and the Time Machine backups fail.
When connected to the wireless network from the Time Capsule i get 10% to 30% packet loss when i pinged the Linksys router and 0% packet loss when i pinged the Time Capsule.
I then connected to the Linksys router then i has packet loss with i pinged the Time Capsule and 0% loss when i pinged the Linksys.
I used the Airport Utility and changed the "Ethernet WAN Port" from automatic to "10 Mbps/Full Duplex".
This seem to fix the problem. I think there is some issue with the port speed negotiation between the Linksys and Time Capsule.
Time Capsule 7.4.2
LinkSys V1.00.13(01)

The same thing is happening to me, exactly. Although my top speed is lower than yours (I'm on FiOS). Unplug it for a second, and you're back to normal. Otherwise, it will slowly and inexorably degrade until you have something worse than dial-up.
This is completely unacceptable, and it's far too typical of the current state of Apple's quality control and support that there is no official acknowledgment of this screamingly obvious and annoying problem, which happens every single time I use my Time Capsule, which is to say every day, and no recommended fix.
Sometimes I feel as if I could really hate this company!

Extremely Slow Internet From Linksys WRTU54G-TM

Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can help me with this issue. I got the Linksys WRTU54G-TM for T-Mobile's @home service. According to the store employees, I should be able to just plug it in and it should work. I got it home, disconnected my old router (a Linksys WRT54G) and plugged it in. After a few minutes, the phone was up and working and sounds good; however, the internet coming off of the router is extremely slow (both wired and wirelessly). So slow that pages won't load. The title bar will tell you where you're trying to go; however the page will not load.
Before calling for help, I contacted my internet provider (Cox Cable in Phoenix) and verified that the network was working and that my modem (Terayon brand) was good. When I hook the modem directly to the computer I get my full connection (around 20 megs down). Then I called T-Mobile and was connected to Linksys since the router was connecting and providing phone service.
I spent an hour on the phone with Linksys. We flashed the firmware to the latest build, reset the modem to factory settings, reset the modem via the button on the back all the while power cycling the whole setup numerous times. The rep had me check some settings on my computer and I was able to ping from the cmd prompt. In the end, she felt that I received a bad router and said I should return it. She never mentioned cloning the MAC address; however, I saw that on the T-Mobile forums and tried it - no luck.
I took the router back to the T-Mobile store and the rep happily exchanged my router for a new one. I got it home, plugged it in and have the same problem. Phone works, internet doesn't pass through the router properly.
I went ahead and flashed the new router and reset it factory settings and that did not help (all the things I did with the Linksys rep with the first router). I'm going to be calling T-Mobile/Linksys again tomorrow but I wanted to see if there was anything anyone in these forums may know what I could try.
With the second router, I did try plugging it into my old router (modem - old router - new router), the phone worked and the internet worked (both wired and wireless); however, the internet is not as quick as going through one router and I do not want to have two routers set up.
Secondly, I looked at the configuration of my old one and set the new one to the same exact settings; however, one setting could not be matched. My old router is set to an operating mode of GATEWAY, the new one is set as ROUTER. The only options on the new one are router and bridge. Could this be the issue?
It was recommend on the T-Mobile forums to run a speed test and post the results, which I can do tonight after I get home from work.
I've searched these forums, Google, the T-Mobile forums, the Cox forums at dslreports.com, and tons of other places and cannot find an answer. Based on the size of Cox, it's hard to believe I'm the only one with this issue. Any help would be appreciated. I have until Sunday to return the router and cancel the service without any termination fees.

Try the following settings on the router...
Change the Wireless Channel to 11-2.462GHz under Wireless tab...Under Advance Wireless Settings,Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304.Under Security tab,uncheck the option "Block Anonymous Internet Requests "...Power Cycle the router and check..

How to setup Slingbox AV with Linksys E2500

I just purchased a new Linksys E2500 and I am unable to setup internet viewing with it. I have went in and done the port forwarding and still I have not had any success. I would appreciate any helpful information.

So the concern that you said is the configuration of the Router ( E2500 ) at home.. So could please inform us the name of the ISP( Internet Service Provider )... So it all depends upon the ISP( Internet Service Provider ) setup...
If you want to configure the router with the help of the CD so for that you need to unistall the existing Cisco Connect Software from the computer...
Reset the Router and power cycle the network...Make the following connectivity:
Modem ----> Router -----> Computer
They all should be connected with the Ethernet Cable... Then install the Cisco Connect Software... It will help you in configuring the Router...
As far as Slingbox is concern you did port forwarding but until and unless you are not online it would work....

Slow internet with Macbook Pro

My desktop connects fine in downloading and browsing, but my Mac BookPro is sluggish to the point where I have to refresh just to get it to do anything. Anyone have ideas on why this is? Or simple solutions?

I think this is related to the MBP and possibly 10.5.2. I have just tested my connection speeds on my APEBS on my iMac 10.4..11 and PowerBook G4 10.5.1 and all had reasonable good connection speeds (using speedtest.net). I'm Jupiter, FL and I tested to Jacksonville, FL, Portland, ME, Colorado Springs, CO and San Jose, CA. The download/upload speeds on the iMac were 2836/386; 2801/401; 2577/362; 2474/398. The download/upload speeds on the PowerBook were 1827/365; 1326/406; 1557/319; 872/399.
Compare those to the MBP 10.5.2 2111/45; 1124/46; 930/125; 533/7
You can see a real problem with the upload speed (which is why I keep getting the "Safari can't find server" message).
Now compare these speeds to these when I take out the APEBS and hook the MBP directly to the DSL modem (Westel 6100). 1147/382; 6134/413; 5005/388; 4388/498
Vast improvements in both the download and the upload speeds.
I'm now using my iMac because the MBP is not usable with the internet with the APEBS Wi-Fi (slower than the old dial-up)

IMac with airport very slow internet with Charter Ultra 100mbs?

Imac with 2.8 Ghz intel i7, 8 rams memory, running OSS 10.7.4 with time capsule router, and using Charter internet with the Ultra 100 mbs. I get sporadic downloads----15 to 55 and always 5.2 uploads. Charter tech came out and checked everything to no avail---wiring, modem, direct wire to computer, reset,etc., and still could not come up with an answer. Could this be that the IMac is not capable of 100msb? Kinda doubt it, but am at wits end.

Really slow internet with OSX10.4 Server

We have a small network with a dual2ghzG5, 3 iMacG5s, 4 or 5 iBookG4s and about 3 or 4 miscellaneous PCs. We installed TigerServer on one iMacG5, and the PC's worked much better accessing the terabyte firewire RAID on that server iMac, but internet access really slowed down almost to a standstill.
We don't have any IT type geeks here, just a couple old time Mac users and a couple recent switchers. Is there any good resource for step-by-step How-to for setting this server up? We've looked on the internet, but not long or hard enough to find anything very helpful.
Any help will be appreciated,

Why would this effect your Internet connection speed, at all ?
You'll do far better to continue to use your standalone hardware Router, rather than trying to do NAT with your server, if that's what you've done.

Slow internet with SIS900 after moving to new network

After moving to a new house I am having internet problems on my main box. I have two computers, both of which are running archlinux:
1. My athlonxp 1700 MAIN BOX with a SIS900 onboard nic
2. An old celeron 500 LAPTOP, with an E100 onboard nic
The symptoms are similar to the "2.6.8.1 slows my internet to a crawl" problems described in the wiki.
http://wiki2.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … 0a%20crawl!
The problems can be described as follows:
- DNS lookup is working fine
- My browser is slow when connecting to a site. After a while the page begins to load very slowly (less than 1k per second) but halts after several kilobytes
- Same thing for downloads. Download starts but halts after something like 30 k
In my house we use a shared ADSL connection, with a windows 2000 box configured as a router, and all others connected through a switch. On my LAPTOP everything is working fine. I had to do two things to get internet working properly:
1. Turn TCP Window Scaling off (echo "0" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling)
2. Set MTU (max transfer unit) to 1350 by adding "mtu 1350" to the eth0 line in rc.conf
However, on my main box this does not work. Since both computers are configured the same way, I am guessing the problem lies with the SIS900 driver. I did try the 2.6.11.3 as well as the old 2.4.26 kernel, but both show the same behaviour. Somehow it seems like the window scaling problem persists, even though window scaling has been turned off. By now I have spent hours trying fix this. Is there anyone that has an idea how this could be fixed?
thanks in advance
jw

Ok, after some more mucking about I have made some progress. By changing MTU to 100 I can get pages to load, albeit slowly. At least now I can post about this from my main box ;-).
I have noticed the following things:
- With MTU 100 pages load, but my adsl broadband is about as slow as an old modem. I get about 1Kbps on ftp downloads. After ~200K the transfer stalls.
- When using aMule i notice that my eth0 monitor (in superkaramba) indicates outward traffic of about 20 Kbps, eventhough aMule itself only indicates 5Kbps being transferred.
- When I ping my router by doing "ping 192.168.0.1" I have about 10% packet loss. This does not happen on my laptop.
So, I'm stuck with the following questions:
- Why does my internet grind to a halt when I use MTU>1000?
- Why do my downloads halt after ~100K?
- Where do I start looking for differences in my LAPTOP setup, which works fine, and my MAIN BOX, which does not?

Problem connecting to internet with linksys router after internet network password reset

I do not know the model number of the wireless linksys router offhand, but it is one known to have a bug regarding connecting the internet. Others have solved the problem by buying another model number, but the person who owns it does not want to buy a new one since he does not know how to use any other one.
What happened is our phone company (also the internet provider) was having technical problems so there no internet connection. Then, my computer opened with internet page to reset password to connect.
Although I am able to get a connection on my wireless laptop, this other person in house is unable to connect to wired computer through linksys.

Hi. WUSB300N is actually a wireless usb n adapter. A wireless receiver not a wireless access point or a router. You may want to check if you have a wireless Linksys or Cisco router there.

Leopard 10.5 Slow Internet with 30/5 Mbps

Ok I've read all sorts of things about this issue, but I still need help.
I'm a former windows user (well almost). I have a Macbook Pro that I bought last week. I am having seriously slow speed using the internet. Here what's going on. Have a Netgear draft N Router hooked to 2 windows pc's and my Macbook. The 2 PC's are getting speed test results close to the rated speed of 30 Mbps. On my Macbook, when connected wirelessly the speeds are closer to 4.5 Mbps. When the Macbook is connected directly to the router the speeds are where they should be at 29 Mbps. I also have bootcamp installed with Vista and in Windows my Macbook runs around 25 Mbps.
I had a similar problem in Windows and I had to manually set the MTU and the RWIN to the correct levels. When I did a tweak test with my Macbook (using leaopard) dslreports.com said that my MTU is set at 1448, again that is wirelessly. Anybody have any suggestions?

I have been testing a number of Draft N routers ... and the Netgear was the least compatible with various clients.
In particular ... it was VERY incompatible with my Intel MacBook which I believe uses the same Atheros chipset as the MacBook Pro.
I have found that the AEBS is by far the most compatible of Draft N wireless routers.

Slow internet with Time Capsule

I just bought a 4th generation Time Capsule to replace my Airport extreme.
With the Time Capsule my internet speed has drobbed to less them .60 mps.
When I reattach my Airport extreme I get 6 mps
I am using the lastest firmware (7.6.1) I have checked all of my setting and so has Apple.
Apple has replaced the Time Capsule 2 times, but the 3rd one still has the same problem.
When connect the DSL Modem directly to the computer or the old airport extreme everything is fine.
Apple is now saying that maybe it's my dsl modem, but AT&T says everything is fine and I am running the lastest firmware on the dsl modem.
I am running system 10.8.2 on an iMac and MacBokk Pro with Retina... Also a couple of iPads
Anyone else had this problem? Solution? Ideas?
Thanks.. Jim

Very interesting.. and Apple have not even really tried to troubleshoot this.
What model is the old airport extreme? Give me the A1xxx from the foot.
A screen shot of the setup would be very useful.. particularly the wireless.
Is the modem in bridge?
Can you bridge it and try with the TC doing pppoe?
Or do you have the modem running as router and the AEBS /TC in bridge?
When you run the TC what is the wireless link speed?
What about speed sharing a file in the local network?
I suspect your problem maybe the WAN to LAN throughput which has been reported in some cases as being an issue.. with no resolution.. the bug does not hit everyone so it could be just the combo of that particular dsl modem and TC that is part of the issue.

Slow internet with macbook pro retina (late2013)

The longer I'm having my new Macbook Pro Retina, the slower it gets concerning the internet.
There is sometimes no speed at all... I have to wait about half a minute to start the loading of for example an ebay site.
As I use my old Macbook Pro (late 2009) right beside the new one, I have the perfect comparison. The old one is fast as ever. Even my Iphone is much faster in our home WLAN. The new one just works and works on heavy loading site after site.
Shouldn't it be the opposite way?
Has someone the same problems?
Any solutions?

1. Power cycle
     Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
     Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly.
     It will take a   while.
     Restart the computer.

Your wireless network will probably just work without any fiddling You could also launch your 'Airport set-up assistant' which should be in your Utilities Folder.

Slow Internet Connection Linksys e1500 Router

I set up the e1500 and everything worked well, my download speed over the wifi was something like 50mps, now its down to .3 mps over the wifi. When I'm hardwired to the router the speed goes back up and everything is fine. The only problem is the wifi. Its not the ISP because my roommates aren't having a problem with their wifi at all. I haven't changed anything on my computer except updated some drivers since I set up the router. My network card drivers are up to date and so is the router's drivers. I'm also doing all this about 5 feet away from the router.
I have a Dell XPS L502x running win 7 64 bit.

There is a big problem with the E1500 firmware. If you diable WMM, your speed should go back to normal. I have 2 cisco E1500, one is with the original firmware and the second was upgraded to 1.0.02.
The first one with WMM enabled still gives me good wifi speed around 16mbps, the second with the upgraded firmware with WMM enable causes wifi speed to slow down to a miserable 0.3-0.4mbps.
With WMM disabled it goes back to about 15-20mbps.
When will cisco fix this issue.
