Vigor 120 bridged with EA4500 extremely slow connection

I've set up PPPoE on my EA4500 router with a Vigor 120 modem in bridged mode and it says an internet connection is established, but the connection is extremely slow on all my devices. When I run the speed test within the EA4500 firmware it appears fine, but I cannot load any web pages on my laptop or other decives because the connection is so slow. The connection is slow with both wired and wireless connections. I've tried changing the MTU settings with no success. I've also tried using a different router and connecting the modem directly to my laptop and using PPPoE within the laptop and these both work fine, so I think it's clear there is a problem with the EA4500 router itself.
I asked about this on a different forum (http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=66&topicid=112242) but no one could figure the problem out - perhaps someone has a better idea on this forum. 
In the meantime I'm just using the Vigor 120 to authenticate and connect to the internet itself, with the router in DHCP automatic configration mode. I think this is causing a double NAT.

Reset the EA4500 to factory defaults and update to smart wifi firmware. After the upgrade is complete, reset the EA4500 to factory defaults.

If you decide you want to try putting your Vigor 120 back in to bridge mode, make sure the vigor 120 has the latest firmware first. Then try MTU of 1492 on EA4500. Or follow this............

It's always possible that the EA4500 is not compatible with you ISP's PPPoE.
You can also try these methods.......including bridge mode.

  • Creating a bridge with airport extreme (base) and airport express

    i am having trouble creating a bridge with airport extreme (base) and airport express. i got the airport express to connect to my network. Airtunes sees it fine. i have an iMac (running Tiger) connected to the airport express via ethernet which i was hoping to get internet on (the iMac doesn't not have built in wireless and i had a spare airport express). now the airport express is no longer visible to the airport setup assistant on that iMac. but, like i mentioned, Airtunes is working fine, and the light is green.
    i'm new to the wireless stuff. i am sure i just missed a step. how do i get the iMac to connect to the internet via my airport express bridging to my airport extreme wireless network?
    your help is appreciated.

    You can do this with the equipment you have. Configure the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) to act as a WDS main base station and configure the AirPort Express (AX) to act as a WDS remote base station. That will allow you to use the Ethernet port on the AX.
    Unfortunately WDS also causes the available wireless bandwidth to be cut in half.

  • Will a WD hard drive work with AirPort Extreme to connect with an iPad Air

    Will a WD hard drive work with Airport Extreme to connect by a iPad Air

    If you already have an AE and a WD drive .. the best idea is plug it in and see on a mac in airport utility is the drive recognised.
    If not you have problems.. if it is formatted correctly (Not NTFS mainly) then it can be a drive that is not compatible.
    assuming it works get your ipad and pay for filebrowser or at least download a test copy and see how it goes.
    Always the best way to find out.. try it.

  • Is Internet Explorer incompatible with Airport Extreme for connecting wirelessly to the Internet?

    repeat -is Internet Explorer incompatible with Airport Extreme for connecting to the Internet- I am trying to hook  up my sister's / Windows 7...HP mini computer to my wireless connection (Airport Extreme to cable /BrightHouse ) all I get is -failed due to 'error 651' -am about to call the jockeys at the cable company to see if they have work-around. Any comment appreciate. Thanks./jimiros

    Diane,
    I have added very few apps to my G5. The majority of my time is spent editing photos with PhotoshopCS3. I have software updates set to run weekly and have always kept them up to date. I really believe it's a disk permissions issue...but repairing them doesn't help.
    *+Upon installation, I used Archive and Install.+* While I agree that Erase and Install may sound like a good idea, it makes me nervous. I do have everything backed up on a bootable CMS drive, but I'm a photographer and was hoping to not have to erase the G5.
    Yes, as I mentioned in the original post, I've downloaded and installed the Airport firmware update. And all software is up to date.
    All was working just dandy before the upgrade. Unfortunately now it's sounding like I may have to erase my hard drive and install fresh.
    If I do that, is it just a matter then of dragging my photos from the backup disk to the G5? And documents? Etc?? The thought of getting all my photos and important information back on the G5 seems a bit staggering.

  • Bridge CS5 is extremely slow when my external drive is connected

    I have two drives that are connected pretty much 24/7: A 640GB Firewire drive, and a 320GB USB2 drive that's dedicated to Time Machine. When they're connected, Bridge is impossibly slow. And I mean that. Thumbnails don't generate, I can't "Open in Camera Raw" (it just "stops responding") and it's a mess. If I eject the two drives, restart Bridge, it works like I expect it should.
    What's happening, here? Anyone able to reproduce this? Using OSX Lion on a MacBook Pro.

    Bridge is a very processor intensive program.  Sounds like you are running out of processing power.
    Try starting Bridge with just one of the drives.  Then do that with the other drive.  See if Bridge works OK with each one seperately.  Just a processes of elimination to figure out what is going on.

  • WRT160N N Router extremely slow connection

    i just bought a WRT160N N Router.  i have a 12 mb/s connection.  i bought it through best buy and the sales rep told me it could handle that speed no problem.  well i got home and got it set up, not even close to being able to handle that speed.  i know you lose a little bit of speed by going to a router verse plugging the ethernet cable in direct but this is rediculous.  pages are loading extremely slow, and when i torrent something when i was plugged in direct i was averaging about 1.3 mb/s.  with the router which is sitting 6 feet from me at the moment im getting 80 kb/s at best.  was i told wrong by the sales rep?  am i doing something wrong? 
    im running a Dell 1535 Studio Laptop with Vista.  thank you for your time.  any help is great. 

    What is the model no of the Wireless adapter you are using on the Laptop..?
    Are you getting the same problem on other computer....?
    Try to readjust the settings on the router...Open the setup page by typing 192.168.1.1 in the address bar..Under the setup tab,change the MTU to 1350 and click on save settings..Under the Wireless tab,Change the Channel Width to 20MHz only and Channel to 11.Provide a unique name to SSID and click on save settings...Under the Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...Under the Security tab...Uncheck Filter Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...

  • JDBC MS SQLserver extremely slow connection...

    Hello,
    I have downloaded the JDBC driver from Microsoft (http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/default.asp?URL=/downloads/sample.asp?url=/MSDN-FILES/027/001/779/msdncompositedoc.xml).
    I ran it from RedHat Linux (7.2) with JDK 1.4, calling SQLserver running on WIN2000 server.
    Here is my code (very simple) -
    ===========================================
    import java.sql.*;
    import java.util.*;
    public class TestSQL {
    public static void main (String[] arg) {
         try {
         String query = "SELECT * FROM publishers";

         Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://192.168.0.22:1433", "alex", "xxxx");     
         Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
         ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
         while (rs.next()) {
              String pub_id = rs.getString("pub_id");
              String pub_name = rs.getString("pub_name");

              System.out.println(pub_id + " -- " + pub_name + " -- " + city + " -- " + country);
         stmt.close();
         conn.close();
         } catch (Exception e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
    ===============================================================
    The result looks fine (a total of 8 rows retrieved).
    But it took a total of (5.3s real, 2.8s user, 0.05s sys).
    In particular -
    Class.forName() took 1.5 seconds,
    DriverManager.getConnection() took 2.5 seconds.
    Did I do anything wrong? (my TCP/IP connection to the database server is fine, and i don't expect this being the problem.) or has anyone had similar experience?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    thanks,
    alex

    hi Max,
    I would advice you to try some other drivers also, before
    jumping into any conclusions.
    Check if there is some problem with your machine and connection setup, you can get at least the evalution
    versions of other drivers.. and do the test with them too..
    Some nice drivers are from Atinav, Datadirect, Inet etc they provide
    evaluation versions also i think ..
    and please tell us the results too...
    Cheers,
    -Jer

  • Problems with AirPort Extreme and connecting to personal ftp

    Hi all
    I seem to be having a problem with connecting to my personal server outside of my network. When I connect using a static IP within my network(192.168.1.x) I can connect fine using my Mac and PC so I've ruled out improper server settings. I've mapped a port (21) to the same static IP as my server, but I cannot connect. I am prompted with "An FTP Connection to "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" could not be opened because the FTP server dropped the connection" I think I've toggled every option in the Airport Utility but nothing seems to work. Has anybody been successful in making this work?
    Thanks for any help offered

    OK, thanks for the info, which really helps.
    Your AirPort Extreme is in Bridge Mode, so the IP addresses that your devices need are being assigned by the Cradelpoint router, not the AirPort Extreme.
    Either the Cradlepoint router is not allowing more than 3 devices to connect, or it is your service provider that is limiting the number of devices that can connect....probably because of very limited bandwidth.
    I'm not sure whether you want to try to contact support at Cradlepoint or your service provider to try to find out who is actually responsible for the maximum number of connections allowed, since they will likely each blame the other for the problem.
    The workaround...if you want to try it, since it bends networking rules a bit....is to configure the AirPort Extreme as a router, not a bridge.
    The upside to this is that all of your devices will be able to connect and get a valid IP address. 
    One downside is that this will introduce what is known as a Double NAT error on the network, but that is rarely serious on a home network, and Apple does provide you with the option to "ignore" the error, so you get a nice green light on the AirPorts.
    Another downside may be....depending on the bandwidth that your service provides....that your connection is really slow....as in dial up speed slow....when you have a number of devices all connected to the network simultaneously, since they will all share the available bandwidth is provided.
    I never had any problems in the past with wireless connections when I configured the AirPort as the router. But I also was very careful to avoid downloading large files using the Cradlepoint connection since the bandwidth was quite limited.
    Not sure how you want to proceed.
    We can tell you how to configure the AirPort as the router in this type of setup if you will let us know what operating system you used to configure the AirPorts, but we cannot guarantee that things will work for you if you try it.

  • Connection drops or extremely slow connection

    Hello,
    I have an Early 2008 Macbook Pro with Mac OS X 10.5.5. By the time I was running on 10.5.2 my Wi-Fi connection used to work perfectly, but when I updated to 10.5.3 I started to have so many problems with it that I even went back to 10.5.2 for a while.
    I remember posting a thread in a forum and people answered me that it was impossible for a software update to mess up my connection. I proved it by downgrading and gaining full connectivity back. I've also found hundreds of people who have been having the exact same problem, but it appears as if Apple just doesn't care enough to give a definitive solution. Instead, I've tried tons of other so-called solutions from other people, that have not done anything good for me.
    The problem is as follows: I can perfectly connect to my home network, but after 30 seconds- 2 minutes, my signal drops to just 1 bar (from full 4 bars) and I can no longer use it. To fix it, I have to disable my Airport card and then enable it back, to get another 30 seconds - 2 minutes. If I ever get to be connected for more than 2 minutes, my connection gets reaaaally slow (as slow that it can take me more than 5 minutes to download a 100 KB file).
    Anyway, I'm 100% sure this is a SOFTWARE issue since the same computer running on Windows and resting at the exact same place doesn't have a single problem connecting. Of course, it has nothing to do with my router configuration. It is completely, entirely, 100% a problem related to Mac OS X 10.5.3 and above.
    I love my computer in many ways, but this issue has been killing me bit by bit. What does a computer without a proper Internet connection work for? Then you can remotely understand my frustration.
    Please, if you have had the same problem post it here. Apple has to do something about this, because I can't believe I bought such a useless computer!
    Thanks.

    I believe the multiple error lines are caused by me clicking on the AirPort Status icon on the menu bar to check the Transmit Rate.

  • Extremely slow connection to Music Store and Streams

    There have been multiple threads detailing troubles people have been having both with the iTunes Music Store and streaming music via iTunes. Extremely sluggish performance has been reported for weeks now.
    Over the past 3 weeks I've found that a search on the Music Store can take 30 seconds or more. Downloading a song can take minutes. Browsing is extremely sluggish. Sampling songs results in repeated rebuffering ("Network Stalled/Rebuffering Stream" messages), even if one sets the Streaming Buffer Size to "Large". I've tried reverting to 6.0.4 and shutting off the Firewall and Personal File Sharing, none of which had any effect.
    I experience the same sluggishness both at work, via a high speed office LAN/T3 connection, and at home, via a basic DSL setup. The friends and associates I've surveyed are experiencing the same sluggishness. No proxy servers are used at either location.
    I don't know about others, but I've found this sluggishness makes the iTunes Music Store completely unusable. It would be helpful if Apple were to give us some kind of indication as to what's going on if it wishes to retain it's dedicated customer base. If it persists, there are alternatives. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onlinemusic_store#Online_Music_Store_Comparisontable)
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   iTunes 6.0.5 (20)

    Yes it is sluggish at times but far from unusable. Why not select the "Loads ....before playing" option in iTunes prefs>Store to get over the rebuffering problem. I think it is slow due to the popularity and high volumn use that the iTMS gets. Try a different time of day. I use it late at night (USA time) and don't have all the problems that you are experiencing.
    Why not contact iTMS customer service directly as Apple does not currently pay much attention to the forums. The reponses here are from fellow forum users and not from Apple employees.
    By all means if you are dissatisfied with the iTMS then vote with your pocket book and go else where. Last time I checked it was still a free market place.

  • Bridge (CS5) Running Extremely Slow

    For some reason, every time I open Bridge (CS5) my thumbnails load at an incredibly slow rate. In addition, when I try to open a folder in Bridge, it takes anywhere from 3 - 5 minutes for everything to load. It’s strange because I’m able to access the Preferences menu and all of the other menus with ease. It’s only when I try to access / open folders that Bridge begins to freeze. I’ve already purged the cache and tried every remedy I could find online, but nothing seems to be working. I’m running Bridge on Mac OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.8, by the way. Thanks in advance!

    I’ve already purged the cache and tried every remedy I could find online
    That is a bit vague, could you describe more exact what you have done.
    And can you provide details about amount of RAM, VRAM and free space left on your Mac (what Mac?).
    Are you using internal or external disks?
    And can you provide the exact version of Bridge (Bridge / about Bridge)
    Did it work before and is this behavior came out of the blue?

  • Pc will not work with Airport Extreme LAN connection

    I have setup my Aiport Extreme Base Station and my Mac and phone work just fine with the setup. However, I connected a PC directly to one of the LAN ports on the back, and the PC doesn't see the network. Above the port the light is blinking green. Any thoughts? 

    Is the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) the only router in your current network configuration? That is, it is connected directly by Ethernet to your Broadband Internet modem? ... or to another router between the AEBS and the modem?
    When connected by Ethernet to the AEBS, can the PC "see" the Mac or vice-versa?

  • Extremely slow connection to Apple site on MacPro

    I'm connecting from Europe (Poland). I've got LAN connection (i work at university - so it's generally fast) and everything is OK until i try download anything from Apple.com - updates or movie trailers etc. (only from this site!) - it's SLOW (few kB/s)
    I've got few computers in my workplace, every one with different IP but in the same class (156.17.63.210, 156.17.63.135 etc..). Every PC with MS Windows works fine, and do download the same files as Mac but much faster (~1 MB/s). I think difference is only operating system - even broser is the same. I've tried to install fresh Mac OS X (tiger) or use applejack, but did't help.
    Anybody can tell me whats wrong?

    You ought to try just logging into this Apple Forum via Dial-up... talk about slow, 15 minutes some days!
    Might try some tweaks in Terminal, these will all reset to defaults on reboot...

  • Extremely slow connection In Kesgrave - mainly dur...

    Hi,
    Since the 8th March, I have noticed that my connection after 4 - 5pm is incredibly slow (see below for more details).
    I have checked my speed at 7:30am, just before work, for the last two mornings and my connection resumes at the normal 6.5 - 6.7MB speed. Before the 8th March I would get these speeds during the evening, albeit a little slower as it's peak time. I can appreciate that exchange speeds reduce somewhat during peak times but it seems particularly strange that I'm losing 6mb at the moment.
    Interestingly, a colleague of mine lives a couple of minutes away and is connected to the same exchange (Kesgrave) as me. He receives approx 4mb but hasn't seen a dramatic decrease in speed like I have.
    I've checked the micro-filters, router settings etc as I work in IT, but as it's fine in the morning I wondered if there was a peak restriction on my line or poor contention. I'm always well within my monthly allowance so the first option seems unlikely.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.
    Download speedachieved during the test was - 786 Kbps
     For your connection, the acceptable range of speedsis 2000-7150 Kbps.
     Additional Information:
     Your DSL Connection Rate :8224 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 912 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
     IP Profile for your line is - 6500 Kbps
    The throughput of Best Efforts (BE) classes achieved during the test is - 2.45:17.09:80.59 (SBE:NBEBE)
    These figures represent the ratio while sententiously passing Sub BE, Normal BE and Priority BE marked traffic.
    The results of this test will vary depending on the way your ISP has decided to use these traffic classes.

    Further information if it helps:
    I'm approx. 2 miles away from the exchange (EAKSG) but my line attenuation seems pretty high to me. Would perhaps suggest why I'm only seeing approx 1mb connection at the moment?

    stats look fine on adls2 with 8mb connection and noise margin normal. looking at kitz you have a really good connection

    problem seems more with download/throughput whichtime with the large variations could be a contension issue - lot of people using net at same
