WRT54G transfer speeds change

I've had problems with transfer speeds changing from 54mbps all the way down to 24Mbps. I've tried setting the transfer rate to 54Mbps manually but this doesn't seem to help. The wireless speed status continues to drop and rise. I'm currently using a WPA. Does this type of password affect speed any and should I change it so I can increase my speed? I'm having the majorority of my problems when using online games and I get a "there's a problem with your connection" message. The wireless is currently set to G-only. Is there anything else I can do to increase the speed for such applications? Thanks!

first off , ensure the following wireless settings
wireless channel - 1 or 11
beacon interval - 50
RTS and Fragmentation threshold - 2304
if all these are correct , ensure that the router has the latest firmware..
if still having problems , i suspect it is the wireless card ...try updating the drivers of the card...

Speed changes with REVERSE don't transfer over to Motion on Round Trip

I don't even know if there is a solution to this problem. I have a clip in my FCP timeline that is playing at 80% speed and in REVERSE. When I highlight the clip then "SEND TO MOTION PROJECT," it opens in motion but plays the opposite end of the source footage. It is still playing 80% speed and in reverse, but it's looking at the other end of the footage.
In other words, if I had a 1-minute piece of source footage and 00:01-00:10 of that footage marked in FCP and sent to Motion, Motion is actually looking at 00:50-01:00.
Anybody ever had this happen? How do I fix it?

Even if I try to do the speed change natively in Motion, it still yields the same result in terms of what part of the source footage it's looking at.
In this case, if I wanted to do use the optical flow option, I would do it in Shake because the source footage is an hour long, and Motion has to analyze the ENTIRE source file rather than just the part that's being referenced. (Annoying) Shake does only the part you are using.

Questionable transfer speed of Zen Stone Plus over

I'm going to make this short and sweet. Ever since I purchased this (4 days ago), every single transfer I've made via the 0cm long usb cable provided with it has been rated rather low.
USB 2.0 has a maximum potential TX speed of 60MBps, however with the miniscule cable I was provided, TX speed is no faster than .MB
ps.
I did my first TX before firmware upgrade and it was rated at .MBps, I then not long ago upgraded the firmware, but no change.
Any reason why this is such?
Btw I'm on Vista Ultimate 64bit, and the firmware version I upgraded to is .03.0
Other than this, It's all fine (except the stopwatch has choppy framing when used and while playing music at the same time, but that's another matter).Message Edited by Capt-Irrelevant on 09-07-200708:52 PM

hi there!
ih have exactly the same problem! (I also have this choppy stopwatch only while listening to a song) I think my Player is a bit slower: for ,3GB i need 40minutes....
I received my player today and searched hours in the web for a solution. I tried different ways of transfering the data, nothing worked. Every other USB2 device (Stick, HDD, Mini HDD...) works perfect!
I have a Kubuntu Li've-Boot CD (u dont have to install this OS it only boots from CD) and while using this OS i have the full transfer-speed in both directions. In Windows XP SP2 i only have the full speed while copying data from the player to my disk.
Well.... i think it's a driver/config issue cause thats the only thing that have change in the Unix system but i cant figure out what exactly cause this problem: i used different ports, changed the energy options in windows, updated chipset driver, reinstalled player, unplugged other devices. i think the players ressources are used by something else or another thing already use something that the player needs.
Tommorow i will test the player on other PCs and Unix systems and with an USB-hub.
My Mainboard: Asus A8N-SLI (AMD CPU and nforce4 Chipset) + WinXP Porf SP2

Transfer speed of USB vs Gigaport attached drive WRT610N

I know this is a loaded question but here goes: Assumptions: eqivalent drive specs but one is connected to the USB port of a 610N and the other is connected to the gigaport of the 610N which drive should have the fastest throughput and approximately by what % margin?
The reason that I am asking this question is that I did a backup of about 40GB to a Seagate drive attached to the USB port and it TOOK FOR EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a gig capable drive on order and am praying that the performance will be much better than the USB drive.

What is the speed you are getting from the USB Port..?
I think you need to make some changes on your Wireless router, so the Download and upload speed improves.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab -
This settings are for 2.4GHz.
-Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
-Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WEP, Encryption should be 64 bits.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...
Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters eg: your 10 digit phone number) and click on save settings...
Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect, and after this try Downloading and Uploading on your Storage Drive and check whats the speed you are getting
Same goes for your 5GHz Wireless Network.
Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
-Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network.
Set the Radio Band to Wide-40MHz and change the Wide channel to159 and Standard Channel to 161-5.805GHz...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select AES...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
Try and see how is the data transfer speed.

Wireless transfer speed is hopeless!

Hi,
New BT customer here, after being with aol for nearly 10 years I thought it was time for a change. Why-o-why?
I used to have a netgear 834g router which worked fine, signal would drop a touch upstairs and broadband 8mb with aol, but they could not offer me an all-in package, Wireless transfer speed of 54mbps with a netgear wv111v2 g adapter.
So I decided to change to BT(07/06/2010) to have it all under one roof, Total Broadband they call it, Total **** I call it.
Since the changeover my wireless transfer speed upstairs will be lucky to achieve 24mbps and the signal is shocking ranges from low to can't be bothered. So, I bought a new Belkin 'N' F5D8053v6 adapter to achieve best range and speed. No change in fact, it is worse than the old adapter, Dodgy adapter maybe? No, because I then bought the singing n' dancing Netgear N 300 mbps Wn111v2 adapter and it is still rubbish 24mbps max.
I am not a computer nerd, but I can set up a network after going through all this before, having two kids who are computer nuts sees to that.
I have changed/reinstalled everything, changed the channels; WEP, WPA-Sk; refitted old adapter, sat on top the BT hub; scoured forums, all to no avail the signal and transfer rate is still the same.
Off to India it was, to have the mis-fortune of speaking to one of the most rude, abrasive customer service personel. They would not listen to what I told them, accused me of entering the wrong password; ignored me on the phone whilst talking to someone else, done some checks remotely whilst I was still on line and said the speed was the best I could achieve, after an endless amount of time on the phone, It was the brick wall with open doorway between me and the hub 5 yards away causing the drop. All non believable.
Well I have just come off the phone and it's still the same, I have had to change the channels 5 times since to try and get a constant signal.
The BT hub say tranfer rate of 130mbps when I only have 24mbps according to my adapter, so who is lying?
My line is fine, I live less than 2 miles form exchange and if I connect through ethernet I get 6.5mb, wireless it drops to 2.5mb upload 0.4mb.
Please BT come and take this useless equipment away and I will go back to aol's basic kit. I won't hold it against you, but it is far superior in every way.

herbie9 your own post said that and I quote "I used to have a netgear 834g router which worked fine, signal would drop a touch upstairs and broadband 8mb with aol, but they could not offer me an all-in package, Wireless transfer speed of 54mbps with a netgear wv111v2 g adapter." Like Sweeney47 says use that and just configure it for BT access. Plenty of links in here to help with that. The only other answer for you will be to use a powerline adpater pair to another WAP upstairs and that will give you the signal downstairs and up. should be able to pick up a cheap WAP for under £20 and the powerline adpaters vary but I have seen them for £30 and up. Quality counts on the powerline though. Must be an enviromental issue regards wireless signal.

How do I see file transfer speeds?

Hey guys, does anyone know if it's possible for me to see file transfer speeds instead of just the time remaining in Finder?

Hi,
In song view, go to menu > view > view options and select bit rate, file type and size.
In preferences, you can change import settings to Apple lossless. When you use file > create new version you can now can now convert from aiff to lossless.
Create playlist based of file type being lossless.

Mass storage transfer speeds and 4GB SDHC card

I got a new 4GB SanDisk Micro SDHC to use with my Nokia N95. The transfer times using USB mass storage are horrific (USB 1.0 or worse I think). For example, it takes 9 minutes to delete 280MB worth of maps off the card. Another example is scanning for the Music Library - it used to be almost instantaneous, but now the songs are found so slow I can see each and every single number change.
Is this happening because SDHC is not officially supported by the firmware? The card is recognized just fine, but it is just slow in every way imaginable.

Just found out that regular MicroSD is FAT16, while MicroSD SDHC is FAT32. Anyone think that the support for FAT32 is either broken or crippled or not officially supported by the firmware?
I am really bummed out. I love the high capacity, but it is just so excruciatingly slow. I guess I could get a card reader, but I'd much rather not have to take out the card everytime I want to put lots of data on it.
So what has everyone else's experience been with transfer speeds on the N95?

3702i only getting 10MB/s transfer speed

I am in the process of configuring a 3702i access point, but I am running into an issue where I cannot get over 10MB/s. I have the access point plugged into a gigabit port and have a power adapter plugged into the 3702i since I do not have a POE+ capable switch. I only get around 5MB/s on 2.4GHz radio and 10MB/s on the 5GHz radio which is not any faster than our old aironet 1100 AP. I have tried messing with the data rates but it does not make a difference. The properties on my wireless card show that the connection speed is 217Mbps.
Below is the switchport settings and I attached my configuration file if that helps at all.
4506-2#show run interface gi6/48
Building configuration...
Current configuration : 213 bytes
interface GigabitEthernet6/48
switchport access vlan 95
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk native vlan 95
switchport trunk allowed vlan 94,95
switchport mode trunk
no cdp enable
end

After changing the channel width to 80MHz I get an average of 17MB/s transfer speed and it shows that my connection speed is 405Mbps which should give me around 50MB/s.
Wired I get an average of 100MB/s-112MB/s for my transfer speed

[solved] Intel 5300 slow network transfer speed

Heya,
I'm having trouble with my WiFi card Intel 5300 AGN and i hope you can help me.
It's the transfer speed in linux that bugs me. While I get 9 MB/s in Windows I can't for the life of me get more than 2.5 MB/s transfer rate in linux. And this is only if I use NFS4 and turn off the wifi power saving feature. Samba/CIFS gives me transfer speeds of no more than 0.4 MB/s.
The problem has to be somewhere in my linux software/configuration. But where?
I don't have much experience with WiFi configuration in Linux so mine should be pretty vanilla. No manual change of frequencies, channels and the likes. I simply use netcfg to connect and sometimes iwconfig to toggle the power saving feature.
Here's what iwconfig shows me right now while copying a big file:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:"bett"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: 00:14:D1:C7:43:C4
Bit Rate=243 Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality=61/70 Signal level=-49 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:11922 Invalid misc:2 Missed beacon:0
As you can see, power management is disabled. The link quality is very good and the bit rate is at 243 Mbps (which should give me about 15 MBps right?). Yet the transfer rate is only 2 MBps, sometimes dropping as low as 0.7 MBps, sometimes spiking to 4.5 MBps for a second or two.
What can I do to improve my network speed?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
demian

Thanks for the reply zvxy.
I'm running the most current from [core], version 2.6.37.5-1.
Disabling the N mode improved transfer rates for CIFS/SMB shares. They are the same as with NFS now which is around 2.5 MB/s. Transfer speed for NFS stayed the same.
I'll try the kernel from [testing] and report back later.
// I've tested 2.6.38.2-1 a little bit now and as long as i don't disable wireless N i get transfer rates of up to 12 MB/s with NFS4. That's more than enough for me and i hope it stays that way. The downside is that transfer rate for CIFS is only 1 MB/s.
If i disable wireless n mode NFS transfer rates drop to ~2.8 MB/s while CIFS transfer rates go up to ~2.4 MB/s.
Guess I'll just have to stick with NFS (not that i don't mind but it's already thrown me some "stale" error messages with the new kernel ... i can't seem to catch a break ).
I'll consider this issue solved. Thanks!

Homehub 3 Transfer Speeds

Hi All
My home setup has a Homehub 3, with a gigabit cable coming out of the gigabit port, into an old Netgear router that I'm using as a switch, and from that I have a media PC, and homeplugs coming out of the switch. The homeplugs link my network to a server, and 2 WDTV Live boxes around my house.
I've recently upgraded my Comtrend 200mbps to TP-Link 200mbps homeplugs, and upgraded my Dlink NAS to a HP server.
My transfer speeds have gone up from 6mbps to 8mbps, when I'm copying data from my media PC to my server and back.
I also bought a TP-Link Wireless N USB adapter last week, in the hope that I could get significantly better speeds between my PC and server, however, after changing every setting on my Homehub (N, mixed mode, manually shifted channels) I can only get 3mbps. The Homehub sits downstairs, and the server sits upstairs, probably about 15 feet away in a direct line - no major walls. I even went direct from PC to homehub via the gigabit switch, but the speed was unaltered. I finally turned off every other device possible to avoid interference, but it made no difference.
I've always assumed that the Dlink NAS was the weak link in my network, but I've upgraded that (HP Proliant server with 2mb of memory). I then assumed it as my homeplugs, but I've upgraded those. I therefore assumed it was my house wiring giving me poor speeds. However, now that I'm only getting 3mbps from a USB N adapter I'm starting to think that it's the hub.
Has anyone got any experience of hub transfer speeds via homeplugs and USB N adapters? Can anybody give me any suggestions as to how I could improve my speeds (new router)?
Thanks in advance!
Simon

Nobody?
Is the Homehub 3 releatively slow at data transfer speeds when copying files arounf my network? Would there be any benefit to me purchasing a new modem router to replace my BT HH3?

Horrible Transfer Speeds

Hi Guys,
I own a NMH405 and the speeds I get are horrendous, transferring to/from the device I get on average 2mbps, I have even tried using teracopy and get the same speeds. I can also only stream movie at a time with it sometimes stuttering.
Both the device and my computer are connected via cables to a Belkin F7D2301 gigabyte/wireless-n router. I've also used an old d-link router and got the same speeds and I'm using Windows 7. The transfer speeds to my roommate’s computer are fine so there's nothing wrong with the network.
The only thing I have changed on the Media Hub is a firmware upgrade when I first plugged it in. Have I not set something up right on the device or something? Can someone help me with this please because it's driving me insane and I'm pretty keen to boot it out the window.
Thanks in advance .

troz,
First off, I presume you mean MB/s as opposed to Mb/s. Even so, yes, your speeds are low.
I get about the same performance as the article with my NMH, so your problem is either a defective unit, slow hard disk (in your NMH) or some other bottle neck either in your network or PC.
Not sure if you said that you have tried connecting your NMH to other comptuers to see if anything changes. Also, try connecting it just through your gigabit switch.
Another thing you can do to rule out the PC as being the bottleneck is to create a RAM drive in your PC (google it to see how to set up if you don't know how). Transferring files from the RAM drive is much much faster than off your PC HD and associated controller. If your transfer speeds go up noticeably when doing this, then it's your PC that's the bottleneck as opposed to the NMH.
Lastly, I would recommend calling Linksys/Cisco tech support and see if they have any other ideas. I have called them in the past regarding a separate issue and found them quite helpful.
Good luck.

Transfer speeds

What's the transfer speed mean?
On my BT Home Hub 3 with infinity 2 I notice that the data transfer rate is shown in the setup pages as varying between 54-65Mbps.
What does this mean? Why does it vary?
All my devices are wireless n technology so would I be better connecting my netgear wnr2200 as this will quite happily do 300Mbps as it did when I was with virgin.
Thanks.

If you want a 300 connection you need to choose the b/g/n 40MHz option on the HomeHub setup. (Assuming HomeHub 3B, not sure about the A). My HH3D router does not seem to have an n only option. I wouldn't want it anyway as I have some old g devices; the router is happily mixing g and n at the same time, with the n going up to 144.
I'm not sure if your Netgear is FTTC compatible; probably is. You could just replace the HomeHub as you suggest. Are you sure you were actually connecting to it at 300, rather than that the Negear was 300 capable, as is the HomeHub.
The speeds vary as various different things change the strength of the signal and the interference from outside.
Some people say they get more consistent connections if they turn off the Smart Channel, and choose a fixed channel.
If you really want to check your wireless out, install the free inSSIDer http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/, or iStumbler on Mac. That will show other routers nearby, and the strength of signal from each. (Beware: it does report the connection speed wrong, though.)

Mpower slow LAN transfer speeds.

Hi, I have an issue with the Realtek NIC. When I transfer a file from my harddisk to my NAS the transfer speed is very low ( +/- 100kb/s, see attachment ). This is what I have tried so far;
- Installed the latest Realtek drivers from their website
- Changed the Large Send Offload adapter settings.
- Disabled all security related software.
With my previous PC I used to get +/- 10 mb/s when transferring a file to my NAS using exactly the same setup (cable, router ect). Does anyone know a fix for this issue?

I have the same problem. I tried to transfer a game on the pc of my friend and the transfer speed was 10kb/s

Hi,
If you weren't using USB, then were you were transferring data between partitions or to a multimedia flash drive?
Have you mistaken a partition (primary or logical partition) for a physical drive?
Your notebook has four partitions, unless you have changed the original factory partitioning scheme. C: D: System and HP_Tools.
The following image shows how my loaner Envy17-3002ea is organized. It is a bit different as it has two physical 750 GB hard disks. Everything as showng inside Disk 0 is a partition.
What software did you use to determine the transfer speed?
Which CPU is installed in your notebook?

Data transfer speed question

I am consolidating all of my old back up drives onto a single 1tb TC. I am surprised at the transfer speed however. I have the TC connected via ethernet but it is taking hours to move even a couple of gigs. At this rate it's going to take all week. I feel like I must have done something incorrectly.
Is it the write speed that is so slow?

WGulliver,
Consider these points, see if they have any bearing on your situation.
*Anti-Virus Software*
Are you running anti-virus software. Disable it and see if network speeds improve. The discussion boards are filled with users who are experiencing degraded network speeds due to their anti-virus software.
One poster observed: “I had the exact same problem 5 mins ago, it had taken 2 hours to back up 2GB, I realized I installed Sophos anti virus a couple of days ago. When I turned that off my back up is speeding through.”
Another contributor stated, “I am doing the first backup to my time capsule, about 71 Gb, It seems to be going about 1 Gb per hour. is this seem OK? I tried the ethernet connection and the speed was about the same. It has been going all night and after 12 hours it is at only 12 Gb of 71….I found the problem, I uninstalled Norton and the problem went away. It backed up in about 3 or 4 hours”
*Wireless Security Issue*
Some who have experienced degraded network speeds have isolated the problem to their wireless security setup. Try this:
Launch Airport Utility
Select your Time Capsule on the left.
Click “Manual Setup”.
Select “Airport” in the toolbar.
Click the “Wireless” tab.
Change “Wireless Security” to “None”.
Click “Update” in the lower right hand corner.
Wait for the Time Capsule to restart and then see if your network speeds improve.
Granted, this is far from desirable. But it does help to isolate the problem in you instance.
Let us know if either of these procedures helped.
