WRT350N firmware upload killed my download speed.

I updated the firmware (v1.04.4) on my WRT350N (version 1) and checked my download over WIFI N.
Now I get 1MBs download and 1 MBs upload!!!!
If I plug in wired Iget 12+ MBs download and 2+ MBs upload.
If I plug my laptop directly into my Cable Modem I get 15+ MBs download and 3+ upload.
Whats going on - and whats the next step.
Oh and I checked my iPhone 4 and Im getting 0.4MBs download and 2MBs upload. How crazy is that!
Help Help!
Gerry

i resolved the first part of my issue myself.
Updating the linksys firmware was what killed my speed.
The Latest Linksys firmware for my router, with factory default settings, is not compatible with the latest driver on my Intel wireless-N card in my laptop.
As I was not able to roll back my router frimware (even a restore factory settings doesnt do that) I had to roll back my laptop wireless card driver to a previous driver.
The settings that do work
Linksys WRT350N V1.0 with firmware V104.4 and default settings
Intel Wifi 4965AGN driver V11.1.1.22 8/8/2007
Note that I tried many different linksys settings, including channels, with both versions of the Intel driver, and the consistent , repeatable solution was to roll back the Intel wifi driver.
I will post my iphone issue as a new post.

Resetting my modem has killed my download speed bu...

Hi there, can anyone suggest a reason and hopefully a cure for this?
After teething problems with my connection initially (sorted by 2 engineer visits), I'd been getting "reasonable" 4-5mbps download speeds over the last 3 months. Gradually download speeds degraded to under 2mbps and and I felt obliged and intrigued to see if a modem reset would improve matters.
The first reset led to a lot of dropped connections, but since a second reset, the connection seems to be consistent, but only a 0.48mbps download speed!!
I've been getting a consistent circa 0.9mbps upload speed during the last three months, which is ok and this seems unaffected by the resets. I'm getting the stats from Speedtest.net.
So my question is will the modem find its download speed in time or do I have a noisy line (sorry no phone to check) or is it something else. I'm also a bit unclear why these BT modems are so flakey when it comes to resetting them.
Thanks in advance

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 you may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or if HH4/5 then go to troubleshooting then logs and you are looking for 2 line together when hub last connected to internet and they will show your connection speed and noise margin or if netgear enter 192.168.0.1). Then run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems). when first test completes then run diagnostic test and post the results ( do not reset the router).
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 this test would help establish any line problems and a cheap corded phone would be beneficial - about £5 from argos
Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

WRT400N Upload and Download Speeds

I have a WRT400N router. I have a network set up where I am physically connected to the router while my two room mates have a wireless connection. When I test my connection I have a download speed of 25 Mb/s and an upload of about 2 Mb/s. My room mates however have a download speed of .5 Mb/s and upload of about .5 Mb/s. They are getting full signal strength from my router, so I am not sure what the problem is. What is the problem and how do I fix this? They should be getting much faster upload and download speeds.

After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you have not done this since the last firmware upgrade, then please do this now and see if it corrects your problem. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it --- you must setup the router from scratch.
If the above does not correct your problem, then the most likely cause is simply a poor wireless connection. This can occur even if your computer shows "5 bars" or "full signal strength".
There are many causes for poor wireless connections, and many solutions:
First of all, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
If your problem is that you are getting poor speed between your wireless n router and wireless n adapter, in the router, make sure the "Radio Band" is set to "Wide".
Poor wireless connections are often caused by radio interference from other 2.4 GHz devices. This includes wireless phones, wireless baby monitors, microwave ovens, wireless mice and keyboards, wireless speakers, and your neighbor's wireless network. In rare cases, Bluetooth devices can interfere. Even some 5+ GHz phones also use the 2.4 Ghz band. Unplug these devices, and see if that corrects your problem.
In your router, try a different channel. There are 11 channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Usually channel 1, 6, or 11 works best. Check out your neighbors, and see what channel they are using. Because the channels overlap one another, try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors. For example, if you have a strong neighbor on channel 9, try any channel 1 through 4. For wireless n, make sure your standard and wide bands are at least 2 channels apart. For example try standard band on channel 11, and wide band channel 9.
Also, try to locate the router about 4 to 6 feet above the floor, in an open area. Do not locate it behind your monitor or near other computer equipment or speakers. The antenna, if external, should be vertical.
Also, in the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. If your current network is not listed, enter its info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings".
If the above does not fix your problem, download and install the latest driver for your computer's wireless adapter.
Some users have reported improved wireless performance by switching to WPA encryption.
If you continue to have problems, try the following:
For wireless n routers, try setting the "n Transmission Rate" to 162 Mbps, and the (wireless g) "Transmission Rate" to 54 Mbps.
If you still have trouble, download and install the latest firmware for your router. After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
Hope this helps.

Q180: Slow download speeds even slower then upload speed?

Just looking for answers. I have recently brought a Q180, using it wifi upstairs. And I just upgraded to a DOCSIS 3.0 modem gateway (Moto SBG 6580) I have Charter as my IP I pay for data plus 30 Mbps download. My son's laptop, my HP laptop and my Mac book (used up stairs) all seems to have benefited from the upgraded modem. Showing 20-25 Mbps. Charter provides a webpage (speedtest.charter.com) to test your up/download speeds. The Q180 shows an average of 4 Mbps! And uploads of avg. 6 Mbps!? Q180 shows 811.N as selected and full signal strength of 54 Mbps?
Where could the chocking be coming from? How can I fine tune the Q? Any help would be really appreciated

that website for testing is crap i have tested mine and i get http://speedtest.ookla.com/result/1593897921.png 20mb down and 3.5mb up and i am on 50mb down and 5mb up
try something like speedtest.net and also do a pingtest.net
even speedtest shows my speed as 35mb and 4mb a little better but i am in the uk

Need download link for WRT350N firmware

I have been looking for the latest official firmware for the WRT350N, but when I go to Linksys's official page located here:
http://support.linksys.com/en-us/support/routers/WRT350N
There is no official download link for any model there.
Is there anyone that has the latest firmware or could provide me a download link?
Any reason why they are no longer listed on the site?

Try requesting the firmware in link below. I suppose you can even try to request the firmware from Cisco. It was never clear to me whether or not WRT350N was a linksys product or a Cisco business product.. Can't hurt to try both places. I used to have the latest firmware for the WRT350N on my hard driver, but is so old, I no longer have it.

What is the normal upload and download speed of a mac book pro?

im curious because my mac book pro has been quite slow and its not old or anything wrong with it.

There is really no "normal." Uploads & downloads depends on your ISP. Have you contacted them to see if the problem is on their end?
Check your upload & download speeds at this website - Speedtest

Download speed equals upload speed from iTunes store

When downloading a movie bundle from the iTunes store the download speed I attain is being equaled by the upload speed that data appears to be going to the iTunes store. Why is this? Is there a way to dedicate bandwidth to the download instead of, what appears to be a waste of bandwidth, going right back to the iTunes store?
Thanks

I have a menu bar app that shows me sends and receives, and I can see - in Activity Monitor - iTunes incrementing bytes out and in at about the same rate.

Insanely slow upload speeds with normal download speeds -- can anyone help?

I have done LOTS of troubleshooting and I'm coming up blank. I've just moved from CA to HI and have a new ISP, but other machines in the house are not having this issue. I'm having a very difficult time figuring out why I can no longer upload files larger than 1 mb without lots of network stalling and eventual timeouts using most upload tools.
Here are the facts:
* It's only the upload speed: downloading is just fine on this machine.
* This machine WAS fine: No problem with uploads from this machine before I moved from CA. I've had it for about a year.
* Not the new cable internet: We also have a brand new Macbook Pro AND a PC using the same modem and connection and neither have trouble with upload speed.
* It's not the tool, the file, or the server I'm trying to upload to: have tried uploading various files, using various web interface tools, to different servers, (flickr uploader, blog upload tool,) including ftp from the command line -- same upload problems. Command line ftp doesn't time out like these other services, but takes a really really long time with lots of stalls (7:13 minutes for 2.1 mb?!)
* File sharing over our network between this machine and the Macbook Pro are lightning fast.
* Behavior is the same using airport OR built-in ethernet (even tried two different ethernet cables)
* Behavior is the same whether I use our internet connection or 'borrow' bandwidth from a neighbor's wireless connection (although I'm pretty sure everyone around here uses the same service?)
It seems to be some strange combination of this machine and my connection? I am stumped and really need to be able to upload files for working remotely!
Any advice would be much appreciated!
thanks,
Enola

So after MUCH research and back-and-forth, it appears that my problem here is the upload bandwidth provided by our ISP. They acknowledge there is a problem in our area with upload speed (download speed is excellent) and are apparently working on it. I am still baffled as to why this problem is so much more obvious on my mac mini than my husband's macbook pro, but I'm sure it has to do with all kinds of different variables. We both tried some speedtest sites like the one you mentioned, and we both get crappy upload bandwidth and lots of stalling. At least I know it's not that my machine has something terribly wrong with it. For now, I am making do!
thanks for your advice!

I’m in Queens N.Y. area, The way I see it Verizon Fios has OVER PROVISIONED, OVER SOLD their own network and switches are overloaded with bandwidth that can't handle. So they throttle down everyone’s speed, on the local Central office hub. As the hour of the day 7PM the speed is being gradually being slowed down to about 7Mbps for me.
As the hour approaches I have been running tests between a few servers transferring large files for a few hours, my results were: as the hour approaches the speed gradually decreases until it’s caped at 7Mbps. but the upload speeds are unaffected. It’s like Fios provisioned download speed is exhausted. PC directly connected with a CAT6 1Gigabit LAN cable to ONT. So the bottle neck is the central office

I see it as the fiber has to allocate bandwidth for the TV, INTERNET and not to mention if you watching VIDEO ON DEMAND all use bandwidth.

What are the uploads and downloads speeds

what are the upload and download speeds of the time capsule?

what are the upload and download speeds of the time capsule?
If you are asking about Internet download and upload speeds, this is limited by your service plan with your Internet provider.
It might be something like 10 Mbps download and 2 Mpbs upload, for example. That's because on most home plans, the download speeds are typically much faster than the upload speeds....unless you opt for a business type connection at significantly higher cost.
The Time Capsule is capable of much faster speeds than your service provider can ever deliver, so the bottleneck on your network will always be the Internet connection...not the Time Capsule.

Upload and download speeds of a DSL?

I was wondering if there a program that tracks the upload and download speeds of a connection to DSL?
Anybody create some kind of bandwidth monitoring program or Widget?

Thanks for the reply everyone. I've tried the 3 link you recommendedand they all have their pluses. I don't need to track right now just observe the trafic.
The best one for just seeing what is just going on was Menu Meter. It was just what I was looking for. It fit neatly on the menu bar and I can see the thru-put in action. It also has a few other perks as well. Great little tool!
Speakeasy was great to just check the DSL upload and download speeds from 8 different servers around the country.
If anyone has something new to add to this group of tools, I'll be glad to try them out.
Thanks;

Upload/download speed 3G

Hi,
As of a couple of days ago my ipad slowed down substancially when trying to open web sites but eventually they open up, video clips I had been watching without problems a couple of days ago however don't open up any more period, screen stays black and the indicator bar stops as well as if its refusing to download. Have done all the resetting option, deleted some movies cause the memory was pretty full but nothing.
I get an average Download speed of 330 to 700 kbps and 47-50 kbps uploads, since I never tested this before having problems I don't have a point of reference, what up/down load speeds should I expect from my 3G ?
Thanks , and yes I downloaded the latest OP system

Sitting at my desk in downtown I again have 0.07/0.53 download/upload. Visited verizon store last night with performance question and was surprised with 1.3/0.86 connection there. Maybe solution is to have many more verizon stores around?

Upload and download speed is horrible. it takes hours to download a movie from iTunes.

upload and download speed is horrible. it takes hours to download a movie from iTunes.

VangieChuck the problem is definitely not iTunes it is your ISP download provision. Either your ISP needs to make a service call and solve your bandwidth issues or you need a better service, granted it all depends where in the world you are located. In Kappy's and my neck of the woods we are use to 5 - 250 Mbps download rates with an average of about 25 mbps for most city dewellers. Upload will vary depending on your service.

Wireless Download Speed Less Than Half As Fast As My Upload Speeds

Is anyone else having this problem: I use Verizon Fios and currently have their 50/50 plan. When I go to speedtest.net to check my speed I see that I'm only getting about 14 Mb download speeds but 42 Mb upload speeds. I have checked my speeds on wired connection and get about 38-40Mb. My Specs:HP HPE-400yUsing the Ralink driver for Windows 7 (http://www.mediatek.com/en/downloads1/downloads/pcimpcicbrt2860rt2760rt2890/)I'm running Windows 7 (64-bit)PC is not more than 25ft from the router, almost a direct line of sight Any advice or help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Your noise margin is on the high side and this will also affect your speed. you will need to have a stable connection for a further day ie 3 days in total before you can contact the mods.
Hi conrad also the line is very short look at the attenuation figure as Keith has posted the reduction in noise margin would achieve nothing on adlsmax as the connection is already at its maximum but gives spare noise margin when the op gets on to adsl2+
