WRT300N connection speeds low & all over the place!

Hi all, last year I had the same issue along with the router just locking up.  When I updated the firmware to 1.03.6 & had the online support tech help with a few tweaks, the issue was dead, until recently.
I've reset the router & nothing.
My notebook is about 10 ft away though 2 rooms as I'd look at the router if I could see it through the wall, it's 90 degrees, including the center antenna, offset from my notebook.
It's set up kinda like this:
Router orientation:    |
Laptop orientation:   __
I mention this because I'm not sure which way the center antenna is supposed to be for best reception, or even if it's the N antenna or not.
The 2 other antennas are left straight up vertical
So anyone have a clue why the sudden speed changes?
I've seen low as 2 but lately an average of 24-36 & rarely 48-54 anymore.
Yeah, I'm using my notebooks internal G card since the USB300N doesn't seem to work with my Vista.
Thanks.
Oh, if another wireless notebook connects at the same time I'm on, will my speeds also slow down?
My GF's kid wants me to set him up so when he's over he can use my wirless connection.
I told him I'd look into it 1st.
I will be buying a D-link draft N express card since Linksys doesn't seem to want to  make one & continues making PCMCIA cards instead.

Castor, thanks for the reply but your answer was totally unrelated & did not answer the questions at all.
1st, I haven't moved the antennas & 2nd, as I wrote, this just started happening & it will randomly change, even while I'm online.
Now at times I'm down to 1 Mbps speeds.
That said, is my router going south?

  • Speeds all over the place

    My speeds are all over the place tonight. Tried a HH3 restart and speedtests and downloads are varying from 3mb/s to 7mb/s. Same servers were full speed for me yesterday.

    why did you change to the hh5 if the hh4 and modem were working ok?  I would go back to the modem and either use the newer HH5 or revert back to the hh4.  see if that brings back your stable connection and if so your speed should improve

  • Import speed all over the place

    Hi there, first time poster here.
    I'm trying to import some Christmas CDs into iTunes. I've not used it for several months for a variety of reasons. When I import the CD, the speed is all over the place but typically at a ridiculous 0.1x!! It's ranged from 12.0x on down. It took many hours just to copy one CD (10 songs - average length).
    I don't have a huge library of music. I have plenty of room on my laptop (Asus with Vista) and I've never had this problem with iTunes before on the same computer. If anything, the computer is running better now as I ran disk clean up, defrag, and dumped a bunch of stuff off it (nothing software related).
    Thoughts?

    Just to add my IP profile since getting infinity 2 has always been 77MB down 20MB up.
    PLEASE HELP

  • Why is my page or connection jumping all over the place after my recent update to firefox 5.0

    I came back from a week away and when I got on the internet firefox had updated to 5.0 and ever since then my pages just jump all over the place Why?

    Hi Aish,
    I have found the problem, but not sure where to find the solution as I'm pretty new to Adobe products.
    I built another site to see if I had the same problem, this time I made it shorter to see if the length was the problem. I put in some elements and 'assets', added parallax scroll key frames, left out pretty much most other things to see if I could pin the problem down. I found that I had the exact same problem.
    In the Muse preview it scrolls with the mouse like a dream when I grab the scroll bar and drag it down. But when I preview in business catalyst, export HTML or preview in browser, it goes crazy and won't let me get to the bottom. Further to that, when you scroll back to the top, everything is out of place and gets worse every time you scroll down and back to the top.
    I have a touch screen computer and tried to scroll the screen with my finger rather than dragging the scroll bar down with the mouse. The website works like a dream when I scroll with my finger, even when I scroll back to the top everything stays in place and the whole site works lovely! I then tried the other, long website to see if this was the same case and it was exactly the same case. It scrolls with a finger like a dream, but has a fit when you drag down the scroll bar with a mouse.
    My next question would be could I somehow disable some kind of touch scroll option in only the desktop version of the site, but leave it active in mobile and tablet sites? If I can do this can you please advise me on how to deactivate it, I think that should solve the problem.
    Can you please get back to me with an answer to this? I would be very greatful!

  • Broadband Noise All Over The Place

    Cannot seem to get this resolved after many chats with BT support.
    My noise profile used to be about 6dB with FAST path After the bad weather about 8 weeks ago, my noise profile went up to about 20dB and nw INTR.
    Ever since it's been all over the place.
    Contacted support many times - they say they will look at it and nothing happens. Keep connected, run speedtester etc.
    Had a chat with support today, who performed a rest with BT wholsale - got a fantastic connection of about 7mb. All started getting wobbly and has climbed all day back up to about 14db.
    adsl: ADSL driver and PHY status

    Thi is very frustrating - was getting a reasonably stable 4mb at 6db. Now connection keeps resetting all the time and hitting by speed.

    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

  • Battery all over the place

    I have a three month old MBP. I often browse the forums to inform myself on what's up before it happens to me. I found out about the battery update that way, and did it. I read about the possible problems that may occur, but I am not sure my problem fits - or if it even is a problem.
    My battery used to last for a really long time - 4 to 5 hrs. Now it doesn't. I usually only use my MBP for surfing and occasionally downloading music or movies from itunes (haven't done that since the bat. update tho).
    After experiencing shorter and shorter up time, I decided to really keep an eye on it this morning. Last night I got the message that it was running on reserve power, (and I was too) so I plugged the power cord in and shut it down for the night. This morning I unhooked the power, started it up and the time left read 5:32 for about a second or two and then read 2:32. I used it for a few minutes, walked away - the display went to sleep - I woke it up and it read 4:50. After that I let the display sleep several times and every time I woke it up I got a different reading - all over the place. 6:xx - 3:xx -4:xx and so on. I then decided to browse this discussion area and couldn't find exactly this scenario. I have been on for about 15 minutes and the time has stayed within a range of 3:05 to 2:42. I am going to let it go into full sleep and come back to finish up this post. Oh...by the way:
    Battery Installed: Yes
    First low level warning: No
    Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 5189
    Remaining Capacity (mAh): 4531
    Amperage (mA): -1494
    Voltage (mV): 11967
    Cycle Count: 37
    I'm back. Time left reads 2:22 - seems normal enough for being gone about 20 minutes. Power readings:
    Battery Information:
    Battery Installed: Yes
    First low level warning: No
    Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 5188
    Remaining Capacity (mAh): 3695
    Amperage (mA): -1522
    Voltage (mV): 11796
    Cycle Count: 37
    But where has my battery life gone? I guess what it says now is a true reading, but since I have only had the computer unplugged from the power for about 1.5 hours, and it has been used for only about 25 minutes, isn't this a short period of life? It used to sit practically all day on battery power only being used once in a while. I am going on vacation in two weeks and I don't think this battery will even get me through one dvd movie on the plane - on a three month old computer! Any thoughts?
    sj

    Sarah,
    The two cruical numbers for the estimate of the time remaining are the remaining capacity and amperage. If you divide capacity by amperage you will get the time estimate.
    These values update relatively slowly - about every minute or so. This can lead to weird values when your computer changes its activity quickly.
    Thus, right after you wake the computer up or reactivate the screen it is likely that the amperage will be low (because it doesn't use much power in sleep mode or with the screen off) and the time estimate will be high. Similarly, just after you unplug the computer the amperage estimate will be low (because it is just the amperage drawn from the battery). I have seen estimates of over 200 hours right after I unplug the AC. But as soon as it updates it all sorts itself out.
    Your battery seems to be behaving normally and 5200mAh seems about right for a 15" MBP battery. They start at around 5500mAh and decline from there. Apple suggests that you should get around 300 cycles before it drops below 80% of initial capacity (4400mAh for the 15" MBP battery).
    The number one hint for getting longer life out of your MacBook is to turn the brightness of the screen down. That is typically the biggest drain on the battery.

  • My cursor is moving all over the place like someone else is controlling it, it has gone thru my mail and deleted everything. Sometimes it works ok, what should I look at?

    My cursor is moving all over the place and it is almost acting like someone else is controlling the track pad. When I was opening and deleting mail this morning and I stopped on an email I wanted to read it went ahead and deleted it and all the others that hadn't been opened yet.What should I look at to fix this problem, I already tookk it to a computer repair that couldn't find a virus of any sort. And, it sometimes works fine.

    Kacia
    Have you tried adjusting the tracking and scrolling speeds for the trackpad? You can find that in Sys Preferences.
    You may also want to reset the PRAM. To do this shutdown the machine. Hold down with your left hand the option and command keys, power the machine on and immediately with your right hand hold down the P key with your little finger and the R key with your index finger, so you have the option+command keys and the P and R keys held down, wait until you hear the Apple chime twice then release all keys, let the machine boot up. Try this and see if it helps. If you contiune to have this issue I would suggest taking it to the Apple store ASAP and have a Genius remedy this issue. Hope this may help.

  • How come my links layout go all over the place in different browsers?

    Hello,
    Please go to <http://www.peterdanko.com/errr.png> and see the screen shot of the page I am having difficulty with in the  design view.  Note the links: INSTALLATIONS, BELT COLORS, FINISHING, PRICING are neatly centered with the text body above and in a single line.
    Now view <http://www.peterdanko.com/atmos.html>  Note they are now stacked and randomly placed.  In different browsers they are all over the place.
    How can I keep them neat and tidy in all browsers?
    Thanks
    PETER

    Below is the complete html code/css re-written for the 'product-wrapper' section. (scroll down). Not sure if this is of help or not. I think you need to take some time to learn some more html/css as the way youre going about it at the moment must be a complete nightmare for you. Copy the code below, (scroll down) paste into a new Dreamweaver document and save to your site folder. View in browser.
    You need to simplify your way of working instead of creating a <div> for each of your page elements, which must be a headache to keep track of???
    Example: Instead of putting your header 'Atmos Seating Group' in it's own individual <div> use a more meaningfull html tag like a header tag, <h2>Atmos Seating Group</h2>
    Then use some css to target the <h2>. We know the <h2> tag is in the 'right_tx_bx_400pxWd' <div> so write it as below:
    right_tx_bx_400pxWd h2 {
    text-align: center;
    margin: 15px 0;
    font-size: 20px;
    font-weight: normal;
    color: #999;
    Similarly instead of inserting the main wording in its own <div> use a paragraph tag, <p></p> it's more meaningful. Then target the paragraph tag:
    #right_tx_bx_400pxWd p {
    font-size: 13px;
    line-height: 16px;
    color: #999;
    Get the point. We only have to keep track of one <div> not several and we can target tags in that <div> more cleanly and effectively.
    Try and keep all off your css together i.e. so all the 'right_tx_bx_400pxWd' css is kept together so its easy to find in the stylesheet intead of scrolling up and down.
    Don't use heights on <divs> unless you know how high it will be and you won't know that unless it just contains images or you set a specific height for a scroll bar.

  • Music library after data recovery - ID3 tags all over the place

    Hi,
    For a short time there i was using my external drive as my music library, while i sorted enough space ot run it from C:
    However, that didn't last long and i was asked if i wanted to reformat the drive.
    Using Easeus I was able to recover the mp3s. But they're all over the place i.e songs labelled as one thing will be something else, about 70% of the time. Also some songs randomly chnage to others.
    Is there any method i can use to resolve any of this, without re-doing my entire collection?
    thanks for any suggestions
    matt

    The best option is to recover from backup, but I guess you don't have one. You can also recover from an iPod if you have one:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9990366#9990366
    Failing that, are you certain that the tags are wrong in the actual files, the tags are part of the file, so I am surprised if they were changed if you were able to recover the files successfully. It is hard to see how they could be messed up if the file is OK unless something else messed with them.
    I am afraid you have a lot of work ahead of you. You might be able to use a tag editor to get tags from the internet - MP3 tag is an example, but I think the tracks need to be arranged into CDs for this to work.
    There is also something called PicardTagger which is supposed to use the audio footprint of the file to identify it, but I have no experience with it myself.

    I've NEVER had a version update fail. I did go to 'Tools' and download for a manual install of this update as the info screen suggested. It, too, failed. After searching for the 'missing' msvcr80.dll on my computer, I found it all over the place!
    Ran a malware & virus scan with nothing evil popping up.
    Tried going back to a restore point before a previous update and doing the install. It failed.

  • Why is the webpage jumping all over the place with parallax scrolling?

    Hi all, I'm getting a little frustrated here... I've built a looooong (10,200 pixel) parallax scrolling site, when I click 'Preview' it plays like a dream, but when I render the HTML, view in browser or publish to business catalyst to view, it just jumps all over the place. I realise that the page is extremely long, I'm thinking it could be that but just need to clarify it before I rework it all and maybe find out after, that it was something else that was causing it to happen.
    Your views would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi Aish,
    I have found the problem, but not sure where to find the solution as I'm pretty new to Adobe products.
