WRT54G Slows Down... Fast, Slow, Fast, Slow

My internet connection seems to constantly "burp". This is a relatively new issue and has been happening since the local cable company was down for a day of maintenance - coincidence, I don't know. This morning my internet was flying, running perfect. Now, and most every evening, it seems to "burp" all of the time... sometimes works perfectly, then sometimes creeps. The cable company has checked everything on their end and swears it is not their problem. They mentioned it may be a problem with my router... i don't know. Anyway, here is my network: Cable Modem, 5MB connection Linksys WRT54G, running latest firmware Laptop PC - wireless Desktop PC - wireless Mac G5 - wired Desltop PC - wired X-Box 360 - wired Anyway... that's it. It has always run fine until just recently. I think it's a cable problem, but they seem to think it's my router. Any ideas of what I can try with the router to fix the problem? The cable guy mentioned the possibility of a virus on the router? Thanks!

okay... go to www.linksys.com/download and download the firmware and try reflashing/ upgrading firmware on the router...after reflashing firmware on the router try resetting it back to default settings and reconfigure it according to ISP settings, try reducing MTU to 1365 on the router...check whether it works for you or not, if it still doesn't work let me know the version and firmware version of the router and ISP details...

    Apple is infamous for being restrictive and controlling.
    The iPhone also doesn't connect to faster 4G networks, except the 4S version from AT&T, but whether you'll see noticeably faster speeds will likely be hit or miss. If you own a apple product? I feel for you, it like owning that old beat up rusty car you have to park way out back in the parking lot, and you pray no one see's you getting out of it.
    Android phones are like PCs - they are extremely customizable - by carriers, handset makers and owners. Virtual keyboards, phone dialers, wallpaper, home screen widgets and much more can be done.
    All told, Android is likely to be the Windows PC equivalent in the smart phone market, and the operating system is well-positioned to soon  become the leading smart phone platform in the United States.
    In closing, if you like being led around by the hand, go and get yourself one of those iPhones, and then stop crying about what you can not do with it.

  • # s there a better alternative or how do I scroll down faster in my bookmarks as I have many?

    Is there a better alternative or how do I scroll down faster in my bookmarks as I have many?

    FWIW, Gary Kerbaugh's 2006 post at https://discussions.apple.com/message/1542090#1542090 was particularly helpful.
    While Activity Monitor is a more helpful tool for this newbie at a local machine, I'm seeking information about running processes on a remote machine with failed Screen Sharing.  I can reach the remote machine with the Finder and with the Terminal via SSH, but I cannot reach the machine via Screen Sharing.
    Running TOP in a SSH window in the Terminal -- and scrolling through to see *all* the processes -- proved possible by running the command cited by Gary Kerbaugh
    top -l1
    (For newbies like me, that's
    lower case tee
    lower case ohh
    lower case pee
    space
    hyphen
    lower case ell
    number one)
    Many thanks, xnav and Tony.

    Battery running down fast using Yosemite, running the latest update 10.10.2. I think there is bug in this update. Please help me out or is there a way can i switch back to mavericks and how

    1. Check the cycle count of the battery against the rated life for your model. The battery may be due for replacement. If the power adapter is connected almost all the time, the battery may need replacing even though the cycle count is not too high.
    2. Follow these instructions, or these for OS X 10.8 or earlier.
    3. In the Energy Saver preference pane, uncheck the box marked
              Enable Power Nap while on battery power
    if it's shown (it may not be.)
    4. You can also try resetting the SMC.
    5. Make sure your system is up to date in Software Update.
    6. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

  • Does having not a lot of space for apps make your battery go down faster?

    Does the battery to down faster if like you have only 2.3 GB left?

  • Why my iPad 4 became to run down faster?

    About a weak ago my iPad 4 32GB Wi-Fi+ Celluar became to run down faster. It keeps charge about 8 hours or less but before it kept about 10 hours or more. Also battery became to warm up in usual usage like web surfing. How can I fix it?

    Does not sound good. You need to try backup, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766, and restore as new, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414. If issue persist then return the ipad to Point Of Sale within 14 days for exchange.

  • Problem with InDesign server - Server slows down fast

    My javascript code iterates the pages of the InDesign Document and searches for the text frames with some special character style.
    I found some samples from Jongware :
    sourcelist = app.activeDocument.findText()
    and
    sourcelist = app.activeDocument.pages[p].textFrames[f].findText();
    if I use the first variant the memory goes to ca. 1.2GB (the server has 4GB), the search is completed in ca. 2 minutes but InDesign Server works incredibly slow.
    The problem is I have to find a page for each text found.
    If I use second variant the memory goes high slowly and so each iteration needs more time.
    After 300th page InDesign Server needs up to 30-40 seconds to process the page.
    (First pages are processed 3-4 per second)
    I tried several possible implementations, like
    for each page
         var actualPage = pages[i]
         for each frame
              var actualFrame = frames[i]
              var sourceList = searchText(actualFrame)
                   parseText(sourceList)
    or
    var actualPage=null,  actualFrame = null, sourceList = null;
    for each page
         actualPage = pages[i]
         for each frame
              actualFrame = frames[i]
              sourceList = searchText(actualFrame)
                   parseText(sourceList)
    I've tried functions with local variables. Nothing changes.
    Processing of the first 50 pages is really fast, but the test document has 630 pages.
    And I have no ideas how to make InDesign continue to work fast.
    Have someone had similar problem? Any ideas?

    To clarify my comment on pages:
    JavaScript objects referencing a native InDesign object have an internal representation for their "address" in the DOM, a textual form (similar to an XPath) is available via toSpecifier(). The specifier starts at the document and then follows collections (e.g. pages) and collection accessors (e.g. itemByID()) to finally reach the same object.
    You can see that the specifier of the document before and after the close/open roundtrip changes in CS5 or later (different document ID), where CS4 used a different specifier form (itemByName() for the document) . The renumbered document ID renders previous references to the same page invalid - see the isValid property. If you want to revive such a stale object reference across close/open, you can remember the page ID and use your reopened document's myDoc.pages.itemByID() method to get to the same object.
    Regarding your other performance problem: print the output of the ExtendScript helper function "$.summary()" before and after the code sequence in question, or compute the differences. You may want to precede that with two explicit calls for the garbage collection "$.gc()" - yes, double invokation seems to be more thorough. Sometimes you find memory leaks that way, for example caused by the javascript "closure" design pattern (all those "Workspace" objects).

  • WRT54G slows down speed and makes many downloads fail

    I can't get utube videos when I'm going through the router.  I can get them if I'm on the modem only.  The same applies to long PDFs, software updates, long virus definition updates, videos in general and graphics heavy websites.  It just slows down eventually to a standstill and the download fails.  As stated when the router is not connected the above items pop up or download reasonably quickly through the modem.  We have moderate speed DSL.
    Help!

    So the concern that you explained is that you cannot run videos,PDF's or any software updates while connected through router.. So in that case you need to upgrade the firmware of the Router which can be downloaded from the Cisco website ( homesupport.cisco.com )...
    Then reset the Router and power cycle the whole network....
    Once done with that you have to reconfigure the Router again according to ISP ( Internet Service Provider ) setup...
    Disable the anti-virus and security centers if any...

  • WRT54GS slow down issues

    I have been recently having an issue with my router.   I have a 10M line and everything will work fine but after a few hours my speed slows anywhere from nothing to 1M.
    I will reset my wireless router and the speed will go back up to 10M for a while then the whole process repeats. This just started happening a couple of days ago and have never experienced this.  Usually its on or off not somewhere in between.
    I have 5 other computers hooked up to the router wireless and wired and all of them have the same issue.  I have just installed XP on one of the systems and still have the issue.
    any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Try this setting on router ....
    Under set up tab look for MTU ....change the size to 1300....click save settings ....
    Channel - 1 or 11
    Beacon interval - 75
    DTIM - 2
    RTS & fragmantation threshold - 2306
    If still you are getting same issue ...
    Check the firmware version under status tab......

    Not sure if you performed this or not, once you do a factory reset, immediately after that you are suppose to perform a factory reset by holding is the reset button in on the back of the linksys router for 30 seconds, then wait about 2-3 minutes for the router to sync back up.
    Important = Write down your previous settings in the router as they will be erased and you will have to manually input the info.
    Hope that this will help,
    Ttech
    If not, try this
    Here are some steps to follow for a slow or poor connection.
    1.      Give your network a unique SSID and do not use Linksys and set your SSID Broadcast to enable.
    2.      You can also try A different channel. There are 11 channels and  1, 6 or 11 is better
    3.      You can try raising your router approximately 4-6 feet above the floor and make sure the antennas are vertical.
    4.      access your wireless software by going to your Profile or preferred networks, if any are named Linksys or ones that you do not know please delete them. Go to the settings or properties and check the information to make sure it is correct.
    5.      See if there are any updated drivers to download.
    6.      Try to use WPA encryption if you can
    *** As always upgrade to the latest firmware
    Good luck,
    Ttech

  • Macbook Pro/linksys wrt54g slow wireless/wired network connection solution.

    I was pulling my hair out looking for a solution for this and it did not seem anyone had too much luck here. Hopefully this will help you all...
    Setup:
    - Macbook Pro, Mac mini, 2 windows boxes (not mine), 1 linux box
    - Linksys WRT54G v6 with dd-wrt installed. This solution should work with the standard WRT54G firmware.
    Symtoms:
    - All other computers performed fast on internet speed tests and on network transfers.
    - Macbook Pro Internet connection was slow (40KB/s on both the wired and wireless network using wpa)
    - Macbook Pro internal connection was slow (2MB/s on both the wired and wireless network using wpa)
    Things I tried to resolve this:
    - Disable IP v6 (no effect)
    - Set DNS Servers field to the dns servers as reported by the router. (Increased the initial speed but this quickly decreased making it useless... not to mention impractical)
    Thing that resolved my issue.
    - Disabled STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) on the router. In the DD-WRT it is towards the top of the Setup tab. I'm not sure where it is on the default firmware sorry.
    Hope this helps someone

    You're right - there are a lot of issues about MBP WiFi. I think there's a major problem with it.
    If there was a ..."major problem with it" you would see more complaints than wifi just being among the top 10 discussion items in a trouble shooting forum. There are millions of MBP users many of whom, like myself, use wifi every day without issue.
    Your statement "They exchanged it for a new machine. Worked fine in the store - but when I got it home, I was still getting very slow speeds." would lead one to suspect maybe interference from some source or a configuration issue rather than a "major problem".
    You probably already tried changing the channel, resetting your router, changing the security scheme, elimination possible sources of interference, separating your components (router, computer, external monitor, ...), etc. but maybe starting over with a default configuration will help isolate the problem.

  • WRT54G slow wireless / internetconnection - same ol problem can't find solution

    Well I have read alot of posts about this but nothing has helped.  I have the WRT54G v.6 w/ latest firmware.  Wired connection i get about 22mbps when checking on a speekcheck site, wireless doesn't go above 8mpbs.  Now i know wireless is alot slower, but it does state 54mbps.  I know I will never get that fast but it should go over 10mbps.  I think there is some setting I'm missing.  Any suggestions / help is appreciated.
    I have tried:
    -Changing channels
    -Changing the MTU
    -disabling all firewall programs
    -update firmware
    -no other 2.4ghz phones or devices around
    -changing the settings in "advance wireless configuration" to specs linksys chat suggested
    -chatted with linksys numerous times.
    I'm running WINXP Home.  Any help is appreciated!

    Hi.. Well there would be some difference in the wired speed and wireless speed. Thats beacuse packets send on wireless network has heavy payload (header and footer), which involves lots of protocols. The payload also depends upon the wireless security implimented on the network. This may results in the difference in the connection speed (54mbps) and throughput speed (10 mbps). You can try to reduce the Fragmentation and RTS thresholds to 2304 on that router. Also try to upgrade the firmware of the router and disable the firewalls and spyware on the PC.

  • WRT54GS slow UDP multicast speed

    Hi everyone. A techie question for you! I am having problems using UDP multicast/broadcast over UDP. My PC is wirelessly connected to our LinkSys WRT54GS router. I have a small application that broadcasts data over UDP. When I send data using unicast (to a specific IP address) the router is reasonably fast, over 2mbps. But when I send data using multicast or broadcast modes over UDP, it is really slow, like about 100kbps. When I connect to the router with an ethernet cable, it runs multicast very fast. When I connect to another router (a D-Link) it also runs multicast very fast. I have the "Filter Multicast" option unticked on the firewall page. Any ideas about why it is running so slow? Thanks! Matthew.

    Hi, 
    I'm also having trouble with milticast traffic on WRT54G2.
    My linux milticast router (igmpproxy) is connected to the internet on one side and to local network on the other site. On one LAN site, there is a WRT54G2 acces point / switch.
    If I watch IPTV on the LAN, the WLAN is extreamly slow to the point being unusable.
    Is there a solution to this problem?
