Wireless half the speed of WIRED

Is this common?
Ran a test on speedtest.net via ethernet and I got 9.8 MBPS and via wireless it is 4.28 MBPS
I am using a WRT160N Version 1 Router
My wireless card is a G and my ISP claims 10 Mbps transfer rates.

No,it is not common.Yiu can check for the firewall and turned it off on the wireless computer.As your wireless computer is using a G-Series card,so it could be the one reason.On the linksys setup page you may try by changing the Network Mode to "mixed" or "BG-Mixed" .
If the above step doesn't resolve your problem then,try to upgrade the router's firmware.Firmware is available here.

E4200 - Runs half the speed compared to my old router

That may have solved one problem but try this one. Why does my E4200 seem to run less than half as fast as my old WRT310N?

No doubt, the router E4200 is among the excellent routers. I would like to ask few question before I suggest you for any troubleshooting steps. The speed issue that you are facing, that is with the wired connection or with the wireless connection?
If you are getting the concern with both wired and wireless connection then you can try the following settings..
A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
          1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
          2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
         3] Lower the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) from 1500 to 1400 or less (usually found on your router's main/ basic setup page)
         4] Then go to the Wireless tab, keep network mode as mixed,
For Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
For Channel Settings of 5 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 40 or 161...
B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the username field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.

Half the speed on Samsung EVO 850 SSD

I just installed a Samsung EVO 850 500GB SSD in my mid-2010 iMac with 27" monitor and 2.93GHz i7 processor. According to Blackmagic Disk Speed Test, I am only getting 255MB/s read and write speeds when the SSD is advertised as 2x this fast. Why am I only getting half the R/W speeds. Running the latest version of Yosemite.

I may have just discovered my own answer. My 2010 iMac I believe has a SATA II controller which operates at 3Gb/sec unlike SATA III which does 6Gb/sec. Is that the answer?

Why is the SSD on 2011 Macbook Air much slower then 2010 Macbook Pro with Samsung 830 SSD (less then half the speed) ?

Why is a laptop designed from ground up to use flash slower then a older laptop with a upgraded SSD from a 3rd party?
My old MBP is more then 2x the speed (read/write) with a SSD upgrade (Samsung 830) then my Air.
Any fixes or mods to boost the flash speed of the Air?

We would like you to show us how to do that.......Especially when the Samsung 830 will not fit the Air.....Please don't say duct tape....
Ok, scratch that idea. Let me think for a moment,,,em,,,em. OK I got it. Sell both units and buy a mid Macbook Air 2012 version.
(d-mn I'm good)

Less than half the Speed! CS: "its fine"

So i moved from virgin media to bt hoping that it would improve my broadband expierience.now i say to my self haha what a joke!
Well than i was intially estimated to get around 35mb dl - 10mb+ uploads when signing up in april, i remember that while ordering online. So i Got my services installed on 1st of May and while the engineer was present at my property running speedtest i was getting 36mb dwn and around 13mb up and low pings! Was well satisfied with that and he left. Soon that evening very same day my speeds dropped to about 14mb and it was like that till 6-7 days into DLM period but after phone call to bt cs they somehow got it upto around 22mbish.
Then i upgraded to infinity 2 even after considering the problems with this upgrade atm, well nothing to lose anyway not having great speeds in start.
I was estimated this:
yea thats right 61mb dl - 20mb up, my order compleated on 9th of May and i have seen absolutly no change in my connection whatsoever!
I called up bt earlier today and the CS from abroad told me its fine sir!! this is within our estimated level and our record show this is the speed you would be recieving from us!.
what a joke of product.

Well i gave bt another call yesterday on 11th of may, spoke to someone in uk and they ran all the basic check everything but no good results, so he booked a engineer visit for 12th (today). Guess what? No one turned up hahahah, Thats bt for you, so followed up with another call in evening raging about this and someone now told me there is a network fault in my exchange (hayes north) and the problem is supposed to be fixed on monday followed by engineer visit on monday aswell at my property to check if everything is fine.
Lets see what happens on monday then

BT infinity installation - half the speed of the e...

After a long, long wait I was very pleased to see that Infinity was finally available in my area (from about 2 weeks ago), so I ordered it pretty much the moment I had a chance to do so. The estimate from BT's availability checker for FTTC was up to 51.7mbps down and up to 13.2 mbps up - somewhat better than I was getting on ADSL (<2mbps down and 200kbps up..).
On the day of the installation we requested that the modem & router be placed in our study, as the master socket is in the hallway and has no power nearby (we had previously run everything from an extension socket in the study). The contractor (not a BT engineer) decided that the current wiring was suitable, and so didn't make any changes to the master socket or to our internal wiring - pretty much just plugged things in and was on his way again, telling us that our speed should be stable within 10 days or so.
It's now been a week since the installation, and we are still achieving less than half of what BT's estimate suggested we should be getting.

Is there anything that we could try to increase the download speed, or is our line likely just awful? Don't get me wrong, I'm very pleased to be receiving 10 times what I was on ADSL, but I was hoping for more.

WRT-54GS wireless broadband router speed vs wired speed

Why is the wireless speed for my WRT-54GS wireless broadband router about twice as fast as when I connect through one of the ethernet ports on the WRT-54GS? This effects my decission on upgading my family's PCMCIA cards and whether it makes sense to introduce a HomePlug to get the signal to my desktop PC.
And why is my DSL modem coming in at 100mps but no where near that after it passes through the WRT54-GS wirelss router?
Thanks, lpb

I alreadt have V.6. I don't see a firmware update on the Linksys site later than that.

BB line speed is now half the speed since moving t...

I would like to know why the line speed is now 0.77MB when it was more than 1.7MB when I started with BT.
We used to be able to watch films on ipad without problems but now this is not possible unless you want ro watch it minimised which is not acceptable.
I can't understand why BT thinks a line speed of 0.77MB is categorised as "good". This is NOT good.
Please help!

welcome to the BT community forum where customers help customers and only BT employees are the forum mods
in order for the forum members to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z, if netgear enter 192.168.0.1) and run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems). when first test completes then run diagnostic test and post the results .
are you connected directly via a filter to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Is the master the only phone socket in your home?
Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

FTTC less than half the speed of neighbour who's f...

Before migrating to FTTC, I was getting 6.9Mbps and occasional dropouts. My neighbour was getting 3Mbps.
After migration to FTTC, my neighbour is getting 14.4mbps. I'm getting 6.0Mbps - slower than the previous standard ADSL to the exchange...
So far, BT are resisting fixing my problem. The cause seems obvious; my neighbour's line runs overhead to the cabinet, in a modern/copper cable bundle. My line runs underground in an old/aluminium bundle.
I suspect that my neighbour was switched from the underground cable to the overhead cable when he moved to BT Infinity 2; his estimated speed (during the negotiations) was 14.0Mbps. This shows that BT are aware that 14.0Mbps is achievable in our location.
Meanwhile, 40 yards closer to the exchange, I'm languishing on the aluminium bundle at 6.0Mbps. Might this be because I'm on a 3rd party ISP? They are complaining to BT, but BT is refusing to move my line.
Is this reasonable? I thought ADSL service providers were obligated to provide the fastest ADSL possible given the local circumstances?
Incidentally, I'm on the same cabinet as my neighbour, and I'm in port #1, the implication being that I probably migrated to FTTC before my neighbour.

when installing FTTC the existing phone cable from your home to the cabinet is used and then it is fibre to the cab from exchange. There is no changing the line.
It is opnereach that are responsible for the installation of fibre and there is nothing our ISP BT Retail can do to help you. you need to pursue your problem with your own ISP who in turn will contact openreach
openreach have made it clear many time that they will not change your line to another just to improve your broadband connection - need to show there is a fault which requires engineer visit
Sorry but you need to get your ISP involved

Can i do this? (wired and wireless at the same time?)

Hi all
My first time on these boards, Iam hopefully setting up a wireless network at home very soon. At the moment I have a cable modem that is 'hard wired' directly into my G5 imac that has no wireless cards installed. simple (so far)
Now... Iam getting a laptop very soon and wish to go wireless roaming the house etc so i will purchase an airport extreme at the same time.. is it possible to have my laptop on wireless and the G5 'hard wired' from the airport station providing 2 connections at the same time one wireless, one hard wired?
If not, what kit do i need to make this happen? apart from a wireless card for the G5 which id rather not do as id like that connection 100% stable and as fast as the 10mb will go..
Any help and advice would be appreciated.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

The default settings of the AEBS works with most cable modems without any configuration changes needed.
The AEBS is a NAT router, meaning that it will be "seen" by your ISP as a single device. In turn, the AEBS will distribute private IP addresses, on the local network, to all of the computers connected to it (wired or wirelessly) because it has a built-in DHCP server. So in this case, each of your computers would be assigned an unique IP address.

Wireless PC's showing as wired

I am having ip conflict issues and was looking at the dhcp client list on the router. All of the PC's except one is wireless. The client list shows only one PC wireless and the others as wired. If someone could explain how this is I would really appreciate the direction. I am going to try to fix the ip conflict by assigning static addresses to the PC's. The router is a BEFW11S4V4 and all of the PC's are running XP. The lone exception is the server and it is running of course Windows 2000 Server. That is the one that is hard wired to the router; and that is the machine that is causing the ip conflict.

1) Please list all fixed LAN IP addresses that you are using.
2) If you are not using the default DHCP server range of 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149 , then please state your DHCP server range.
The most common reason to get two identical IP addresses, is if you are using fixed LAN IP addresses incorrectly on your system.
Rules for using fixed LAN IP addresses on Linksys routers:
With Linksys routers, a fixed (static) LAN IP addresses must be assigned in the device that is using the address. So you need to enter the fixed address in the computer or printer, not in the router.
When using a Linksys router, any fixed LAN IP address must be outside the DHCP server range (typically 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149), and it cannot end in 0, 1, or 255.
Therefore any fixed LAN IP address would normally need to be in the range of
192.168.1.2 thru 192.168.1.99 or
192.168.1.150 thru 192.168.1.254
assuming you are still using the default DHCP server range.
Also, in the computer, when you set up a static LAN IP address, you would need to set the "Subnet mask" to 255.255.255.0 and the "Default Gateway" to 192.168.1.1 and "DNS server" to 192.168.1.1
It is also important that no two devices on your network be set to the same static LAN IP address.
Check all of your static LAN IP addresses. If you have violated any of the above rules for static LAN IP addresses, it could be the cause for your problem, and you should fix it before attempting any other router repairs or changes.

Slow wireless speed vs. wired speed WRT54G2v1 - 1/2 the rate download

I am having issues with the speed of my wireless connection relative to the wired connection via LAN. Via LAN I can get 30-40meg download, but with wireless it is 8-15meg. I reset the router and set it to 50meg transfer speed, but I am lost on the issue with the limited download speed via wireless. My cable company came out and checked the modem and everything is fine there. Any help with the optimal settings would be appreciated.

Might be time to get a new router. The WRT54G2 isn't designed for internet speeds over 20 Mbps.

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!
Eric

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.

As long as the profiles are different (ex. HID vs AD2P) you will not have any issues. But say if you try to use 2 keyboards at once, it won't work. Or 2 headsets at once. Your scenario seems fine.
