Speed Issue with EG008W ver 3

This is my first time writing on a forum so please forgive the long winded explanation. I just want to make sure I give all the details.
I currently own a WRV54G, WRT54G, and BEFSR41. My internet modem is connected directly to the WRV54G and the other two are connected directly to WRV54G also. The little network I had was working completely fine and I've never had any issues.
Last month I purchased a EG008W ver 3 in the hopes of speeding up my internal network since my laptop (vista 64 home), my HP media smart ex485 server, and my PS3 all have gigabit cards.
I removed WRT54G from the WRV54G and connected the EG008W to WRV54G. I then connected  my laptop, my HP mediasmart ex485 server, my PS3, and WRT54G to the  EG008W.
I didn't notice any speed changes in the last month so this week I decided to do a small speed test. Copying 5GB of files from my server to my laptop said it would take me 5 hrs. I connected my laptop to the WRT54G and tried copying the same files and it took just less than 10 minutes. I connected the laptop back to EG008W and tried copying the same files. I let it sit for 30 minutes then gave up.
I did an online chat with Linksys and told me to return it to the store. The store policy didn't allow exchanges but they did test it and it the EG008W worked fine for them.
I brought it back home and tried it with the following simple set up: Modem to WRV54G to EG008W. Then I connected just the latop and server to EG008W. I copied the same 5GB of files and it first seemed promising but after 15 minutes it still said 3 hours left. I would have liked a speed boost in my network but to have it slow down more than my wireless G connection is just not right.
I have cat5e cabling and patch cords. I have kept the cabling the same when I connect from the switch to the router when doing the tests.
Any help would be appreciated. I would also appreciate any new tests that I may try.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

According from what I understand, it seems that the switch is not working the way it should. After all the testing that you had, I suggest you better contact Linksys phone support for assistance. well if you were out side USA please contact them again via chat and let them know your concerns.

  • New infinity line and major speed issues with almo...

    Hi,
    Just has infinity installed after moving from my previous FTTC provider.  With the previous provider i was getting 16 down / 1-2 up and it worked great.
    Had my my new inifnity line put in on thrsday and i am getting 17 down / 0.5 up!! 
    I work from home and connect to the office via vpn and remote desktop and its almost unusable.  Laggy, slow, unrepsonsive and is constantly dropping the connection with a failed to read from socket error and is making it very difficult to work form home effectively.
    I have a 4g EE modem also and if i switch to this it is like lightening compared.
    I also had absolutely no connection issues with my previous provider and as i posted above had a mich better uplink speed - which is where i think im getting most of my issues.
    When i signed up to BT this is what i was sent via email:
    We estimate your download speed will be 19.1Mb.
    We estimate your upload speed will be 3.9Mb.
    Im fine with the download but the uplink is shocking compared to the estimate - and as i had much better before i think something is amiss.
    Also when i signed up i was told that if i had any connection issues with the new line i had to notify BT within 7 days and it woudl eb investingated but it seems there are so many roadblocks to creating support tickets etc.. Its like it s been hard to report a fault on purpose.
    Where can i create a support ticket or similar to get this looked at?
    Thanks

  • IPhone 4S - Wi-Fi Speed issues with Linksys 4500

    I have a Linksys 4500 and have extremely slow wifi speeds.  I've changed every setting, channel and anything else that was editable.  However, I can never get very good download speeds (typically below 1Mbs) but the strange thing is that uploads are usually around 5Mbs.  I finally tried a Ruckus 7363 AP and I consistently get close to 20Mbs so I know it is the wi-fi with the linksys router.  Has anyone else had the same experience and did you find a fix?  Again, I've tried everything and the problem only appears on ios devices.  Macbook has no issues nor does my android devices.  thanks

    I'm having the same issue.  My old iPhone 4 and the iPad 2 both connect seamlessly to iTunes (on WIndows 7), but the iPhone 4S doesn't sync automatically when plugged in to power.  Also it doesn't maintain a connection to iTunes over wifi.  For instance, right now iTunes isn't showing the iPhone 4S (but is showing the iPhone 4 and iPad 2) even though the iPhone 4S is on the same network, and is even connected to power.
    When I try to sync from iTunes (when the phone shows up) or from the iPhone 4S, it fails saying that it failed to start the sync process.
    Since the process works with the iPhone 4 and iPad 2, I'm assuming there must be some issue with the 4S, or another setting somewhere that isn't completely obvious.
    Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

  • Speed issue with TC and Airport Express 802.11n in WDS mode...

    Here is my problem.
    I replaced my older base station / Express duo with
    a new Time Capsule (1TB) and a new Airport Express (802.11n).
    I set up the network with the TC as base station running a WDS network (WDS main) and the Express is the WDS remote.
    When I check the wireless clients from the TC, I find my iMac running at 130Mbits and the Extreme at 54Mbits.
    No other wireless clients are connected to the network (I kept my slower network as a parallel one for my "older" Macs).
    The only other connected device is my Dish network DVR that is connected via an Ethernet cable directly to the Express.
    So my question is why does the Express not communicate at >54 speed rate with the TC?
    And, why does my iMac connect with 130 and not with 300Mbits?
    Any thoughts?

    Instead of using WDS, you should take advantage of the "Allow this network to be extended" option that is available for the 802.11n AirPorts including the TC. WDS only operates in the 802.11g radio mode.
    Here's the basic setup:
    o If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations.
    o Open AirPort Utility and select the base station that will connect to the Internet.
    o Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    o Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
    o Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
    o Next, select the base station that will extend this network, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    o Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then choose the network you want to extend from the Network Name pop-up menu.
    o Enter the base station network and base station password is necessary.
    o Click Update to update the base station with new network settings.

  • Speed issues with Leopard or Kernel Panics try this..

    I installed Leopard on a PB G4 1.5Ghz and was getting freezing, speed issues running Adobe apps and more recently kernel panics. Running Disk Utility did nothing.
    But one thing worked wonders for me, hope it helps you.
    Put the CD for Leopard in the machine and boot from it. Run Disk Utility and Repair Permissions of your hard drive.
    It took 1 hour 30 mins but it wonders for me, so far....
    Hope it helps you.

    Funny eh?
    I had a similar problem installing Leopard, installation went fine but when I restarted it wouldn't boot past the grey screen. I was disillusioned as I was eagerly waiting for Leopard, but I waited a few days and decided to boot from the install DVD and I repaired permissions, re-installed and it now works fine!
    Must be a pre-requisite to use disc utility and fix those permissions!
    Go figure?

  • HT5642 WiFi speed issues with iPhone 4S since the update

    Since the update the WiFi on the iPhone is terrible. I run a 50mb speed and barley get 2mb. My iPad is getting 39mb speed. Is there a problem with this update for the iPhone that affects WiFi speed?

    I am having the same issue since updating to iOS 6.  It has been noticeable on my iPhone 4S and a little less noticeable on my iPad 3 but I think it is happening on the iPad too.  Very annoying problem.  One way to get it to work better is to re-boot your phone.  It will work for awhile then and then eventually not be working anymore and you will need to re-boot again.
    Just to be clear with everyone - the iPhone looks like it is connected to the wireless, it gets an IP address but can't transmit any data.  Device:  iPhone 4S, OS:  iOS6

  • Speed issue with WDS, Airport Extreme, and Airport Express 802.11n

    I have a Airport network set up using WDS and two airport base stations: an Airport Extreme 802.11n, and an Airport Express 802.11n. The Extreme is configured to be WDS main and is connected to my cable modem and other computers, while the express is WDS relay and acts as a switch.
    I don't actually have any wireless clients connecting to the express. I'm using it to connect a mac with no airport card to the network by plugging it into the ethernet port on the express. For the most part, it works, and the mac gets a network address and can access the network. However, the connection speed from the Express to the Extreme seems slower than it should be.
    Since both are 802.11n, and the Mac is plugged into the Express's 10/100 ethernet port, I figure the theoretical top speed that the Mac should be able to communicate with another device plugged into the Extreme is at around the same speeds as 100 mbps ethernet, since the 100 mbps ethernet connection should be the bottleneck in this case. In reality, the speeds are much slower: when I transfer files between a machine connected to the extreme (via ethernet) and my mac, the speed tops out at about 2 megabytes a second, if that.
    I looked in the Airport Extreme's logs, and it indicates that the Express is only connected at 54 mbps, as though it were a 802.11g Express. I have no idea why this is! Also, the only wireless communication is between the Extreme and the Express, so one wireless device acting as a relay for another (and thus cutting the throughput in half) shouldn't be an issue.
    Does anyone know why the speeds are so slow, and if there's anything I can do to improve them?

    Hello Brian Kendall. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I looked in the Airport Extreme's logs, and it indicates that the Express is only connected at 54 mbps, as though it were a 802.11g Express. I have no idea why this is!
    That is because you established a WDS which only runs in 802.11g. Since you have two 802.11n base station, you would want to take advantage of the "Extend a network" feature available with these base stations.
    Here's a typical setup:
    o If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations.
    o Open AirPort Utility and select the base station that will connect to the Internet.
    o Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    o Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
    o Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
    o Next, select the base station that will extend this network, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    o Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then choose the network you want to extend from the Network Name pop-up menu.
    o Enter the base station network and base station password is necessary.
    o Click Update to update the base station with new network settings.

  • Network speed issues with TC

    I have a couple gig of music in apple lossless format that I moved to shared drive on TC. The task took 20 hours for 4 gig. How can I speed up this network? If I burn a CD directly to the TC it is taking almost a hour per CD. I have an imac, mac mini, a mac notebook on the network plus a toshiba notebook and two squeeze boxes. Any advice? I figure with the toshiba off everything should be n speed.

    I'm having similar issues. For months now, I have had super fast wireless speeds! 6, 7 + Meg per second. Now, suddenly, I'm barely getting 2 or 3. I thought, it might have been my ISP, so I tested my desktop, it was still getting info at speeds around 10 Meg. So then I checked out the trouble shooting guide in the users manual. It had a ton of suggestions on where to place the time capsule for optimum performance. I thought, well it always worked fine here before, but for arguments sake I'll try it. So I moved the time capsule to a location that was much more ideal according to the users manual, and... nothing... still 2 Meg speeds. It's really ******* me off, because when I go to purchase or rent a movie on my AppleTV it takes FOREVER to download, and sometimes I'll start a movie, and it stops half way through because my playback has caught up to the end of the download. This NEVER happened before, so if anyone has any suggestions... please help.

  • Glitches and Load Speed Issues with Edge Animate Site

    I recently created a website at www.goshowpro.com and am having some glitches and load issues occur and would appreciate any help or insight into the matter. The site loads relatively quickly on my computer and my hosting servers technical support system but when I show it to my client it takes anywhere from 15-20 seconds, even after I have cleared the cache and cookies. All my image files are 'gifs' as to alleviate memory usage and I don't know what else to do that I haven't tried yet. Additionally, when you go to the services page from the about page, the light beams don't connect to the lighting fixtures and the text is placed differently than what I initially had in Adobe Edge Animate before I published the files. And the facebook link doesn't go to facebook but to www.goshowpro.com/facebook.... (ie I get a 404 error) even though in the program I have the link set as www.facebook.com....  I don't know what else to do besides what I have been doing and would very much appreciate any insight into these issues.
    I should also mention that I used more html files than I initially planned due to lack of support on creating complete animation functionality with Edge Animate. I would like to have everything on one page but I don't know if that would be possible with the current version of Adobe Edge Animate (1.0.1.204.22434). Thank you again for your help.

  • Speed issue with the AirPort Extreme (802.11n)

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help out with this.
    I am the Design Manager and IT Director at a publishing company where we have just upgraded to an AirPort Extreme (802.11n) base station to drive our network. We went this route as all of our machines are Mac Minis with built-in Airport and we were in a situation where re-doing a hardwire on the building was not going to be a possibility due to budget costs.
    Our new configuration seems to be running very well and has the following devices connected to the AirPort Extreme:
    Linksys Firewall Router (which was used on our old system and was requested by corporate to stay in the lineup to keep the static IP addresses we've already defined for our printers, VPN, etc. intact). The configuration on this part is modem to Linksys router to uplink port on the Airport).
    New Panther, Intel based Xserve connected to the Airport's Ethernet port 1.
    A 4 port ethernet switch connected to the Airport's Ethernet port 2 which drives four of our HP LaserJet printers.
    Ethernet port 3 is not occupied.
    All of the ethernet cords connecting our equipment are brand new.
    For the most part, everything's been running blazing fast with a remarkable speed increase over our old hardwired setup. However, I've received a few complaints about slow speeds when dragging and dropping and working with files that are stored on our Xserve - we get alot of the "spinning wheel" and the transmission speeds seem very slow.
    At present, we have several category 6 ethernet cords on backorder. I was planning on using one to take advantage of the gigabit ethernet capabilities between the Airport and the Xserve (as these are the only two elements of the network that support gigabit ethernet, besides the majority of our Mac Minis. Printers and cable modem are only 10-100 capable, so those will stand as is).
    Can anyone tell me if the gigabit ethernet cord will be the solution to this one slow aspect of the new network? Any other settings I could apply to possibly speed up the transmission time when moving files to and from our server? Good news is that every workstation in the house is getting a full 4 bars.
    Many thanks!

    PS, just wanted to point out that we are also running in bridge mode.
    Thanks!

  • Speed issue with external hardrive 2.0 USB

    Hello
    I have slightly different problem than others. I can recognize my external hard drive the WD my book 2.0USB Eddition http://www.wdc.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=232
    but, It performs very slowly: so slow, that 700 MB takes sometimes over 10 minutes to copy. If my calculations with speed are corect (range is from 40KB/sec. to 4MB/sec).
    Hard drive connected to my macbook pro runs on USB 1.0.
    I tried to run it on PC.( 700MB to copy takes less then 40 sec).
    How do I manage to run this hardware on USB 2.0?
    With the ext. Harddrive there was not any instalation CD for mac. is there any way to reinstal usb drivers on my mac?

  • Wireless Speed Issue With A Linksys WRT54G

    I just had a 10Mbps cable connection installed in my house.
    I have 2 desktop PCs plugged in to the 10 / 100 switch ports in the back of the WRT54G.
    I also have a laptop with a built in wireless G card.
    I wanted to verify the speed of the line so I ran a speed test from my ISPs website.
    The desktop PCs show me that I am getting anywhere from 16 - 20 Mbps.
    The laptop using a wireless connection will only get to 5 - 6 Mbps.
    The laptop using a wired connection will get to the 16 - 20 Mbps.
    Being that wireless G is rated at 54 Mbps should I not be able to achieve the 16 - 20 Mbps?
    I will mention as well that when I performed the test on the wireless the laptop was less than 5 feet away from the WRT54G with a clear line of sight.

    I think that is normal. The wireless connection is generally half of wired. Even with regards with the actual internet speed. Even i get similar kind of results.
