WRT54G v7 with 20Mbit DSL, max.speed=10Mbit?

My WRT54G won't connect (wireless) faster than 10Mbit / ~950kBps.
Wired it gives me 1800kBps.
I have the router beside my pc, the connection is "excellent".
I did adjust the settings of the router, like changing the mtu and all different router settings in the config.
I read the fora and whole internet, but there isnt an answer to my question:
Is the speed of the wireless connetion through WRT54G v7 maximal (or capped at) ~950 kBps?

If you want to know which speed it can run through the wireless setup two computers: one wired to the router with file sharing enabled and one wireless. Download a larger file from the wired computer to wireless computer and measure how fast it is. Then you can be sure if the router is "capped" somewhere or not. Ideally you should make this test in an isolated place to reduce interference...
The signal strength is only an indication how strong the signal is from the router. It does not say how good the quality actually is, i.e. how fast you can transmit data. Suppose you have wireless G routers all running on the same channel 11. On three routers people are trying downloads at maximum speed. None of them will get 54 Mbit/s. Ideally, they would all get a maximum of 18 Mbit/s. In reality they can probably expect less then 10 Mbit/s because once the channel is full you get a lot of collisions and thus a lot of retransmissions. While 802.11g may be able to avoid collisions of several clients on the same WLAN, it is basically impossible to do on several WLANs on the same channel.
On top of that you must consider interference from a variety of other factors like electronic/eletric devices (phones, microwaves), the building structure and the distance.
At the same time, however, a computer close to the fourth router would still have an excellent signal strength from the router as long as it is not transmitting anything: the beacon signal from the router is excellent. It is coming in strong. The signal strength indicator is just a very poor mean to give the user some indication about what speed he might expect. But in fact, it does not tell anything about the actual speed you could transmit. The actual transmission speed you can only see if you actually do a transmission. The signal strength basically only measures the distance between the client and the access point.

Having trouble setting up a linksys WRT54GS router with v...

Having trouble setting up a linksys WRT54GS router with verizon DSL using a westell 6100F modem. the modem works fine by its self but the router will not connect to the internet when installed like the cd tells you to.
online help and phone help has been less than helpful, anyone have any Ideas?

Ok I found " Installing the liksys wireless router with a westell 6100 modem" in the verizon troubleshooting guides. printed the instructions so I would'nt forget. step 1 open your web browser and enter http://192.168.1.1 in the address field. PROBLEM it comes up with a login screen that I don't know how to sign into. tried the obvious stuff. cannot get past the login screen. I knew this sounded to easy to be true. anyone have any ideas?

Re: Satellite L855 - max speed with newest SSD

I am looking to buy this notebook
+Message was edited: broken link has been removed+
(Croatian language, but will help)
I am wondering if there is SATA 6GB/s so I can buy newest SSD to use max speed?
thanks,
Mario

> I am wondering if there is SATA 6GB/s so I can buy newest SSD to use max speed?
I guess you are speaking about the Satellite L855 series since this model mentioned in your subject.
I dont think that Satellite L855 supports an SATA III HDD controller.
I think its SATA I, maybe SATA II
My notebook supports SATA I (1.5Gb/s) and I upgraded the unit with an SSD SATA III drive (6Gb/s). The SSD works fine but of course it does not reach the full 6Gb/s due to the HDD controller limitation.

Max speed with Auto Flip?

Hi!
I need to scan a few pdf documents at fast speed as part of my work. I set the Auto Flip speed to 0.02 seconds in page transitions. Is this speed too fast for a 60Hz monitor? Will Acrobat be able to display all pages at this speed or will it miss some pages out? Also, is there a drop in quality this way or will all the images and text be catched and displayed in full quality at 0.02sec autoflip speed?

Hub 1 max speed?

Hi,
A very quick question if I may?
What is the max speed that the version 1 of the BT Hub is capable of delivering?
Thanks,
Arnak
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Here are my home hub 1 stats. Upload speed is usually about 1.2 mb, but dropped due to some noise recently.
It will sort itself out eventually.

Max speed 1.0Mbps?

Why is the max speed that I get with my WRT150N 1.0Mbps? It doesn't matter where I'm at in the house, it doesn't matter if its an HP laptop, Dell laptop etc...the max speed i get is 1.0Mbps?

What is the speed you are getting when you connect the computer straight to the Modem...?
What is the speed you are getting on the wired computer(computer connected to the router via ethernet cable)...?
Try upgrading your Router's Firmware and then reconfigure it...
Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

Verizon DSL download speed not as advertised?

Well, I've been a customer of Verizon for over 5+ years now and I've had Verizon DSL for quite some time. I'm not too sure if I have either the 256kbps package or the 768kbps download speed.
My DSL modem box model is the Westell 327W.
My problem is, it has always reached a download peak of 95.4kbps, as if it was capped at that download speed. The speed never really jumps up and down, just a steady download rate of 90 ~ 95 kbps through out the day, even though I use DSL.
There are no other users besides myself that uses the internet, and wireless settings have been turned off to ensure my internet is not shared.
I do not have any type of virus on my computer, since I've switch computers very often with fresh hard drives because I tend to upgrade alot.
My current hardware and operating system specs are:
ASUS Crosshair III Formula Motherboard
AMD Phenom II X4 965 CPU [Black Edition / Overclocked: 4GHz]
2 x ATI XFX HD 5870 DDR5 (2 x 1GB) 2GB GPU [Twin Crossfire / Overclocked]
8GB (4 x 2GB) Crucial Tracer 1600 DDR3 RAM [Overclocked]
Corsair (850W Watt) Power Supply Unit
Cooler Master HAF 932 Full ATX Case
500GB Western Digital Caviar HD (Main)
250GB Western Digital Caviar HD
Prolimatech Megahalems AM3 CPU Cooler / Heatsink
2 x Asus DVD/CD Burner
Logitech G500 Gaming Laser Mouse
Logitech G15 2-Tone Gaming Keyboard
LG 30" LCD Widescreen Monitor [2560 x 1600 Resolution]
Windows 7 (64Bit) Operating System
Verizon Westell 327W DSL Modem
So I doubt it is hardware related.
My question is, is DSL suppose to be this slow and capped at 95 kbps download rate, or shall I contact a Verizon high speed internet rep because something is wrong?
also, can i "upgrade" to the new Verizon DSL with the new 1mbps download rate, for the same price I am paying right now? because I'm paying the same exact price for a slower/older version of DSL right now, which makes no sense, and I could cancel my DSL any time because my 2 year agreement has been reached years ago,
Thank you
Regards, Chris
Cheers.

I doubt the problem is with your DSL service. The Transceiver speed correspond exactly to what the 768/Kbps plan would provide. The transceiver statistics say that your DSL link is running at Kbps on the downlink side, and Kbps on the uplink side. That is the provisioning for the old 768/128 Kbps plan. If you cannot get a Kbps downlink, and/or Kbps uplink it isn't because of the DSL link.
The DSL link runs at the lower of either the provisioned speed, or the highest speed your DSL Modem can negotiate with the Central Office Equipment. You are at the provisioned speed.
So either the problem is further upstream (beyond the DSL connection ), or on your computer, perhaps due to anti-virus, or firewall settings.
You might want to run a network analyzer program such as http://miranda.ctd.anl.gov/ from the Argonne National Laboratory, and take a good look at the details of the test.

Creating a network with SBC DSL...

I have a series of questions both trouble shooting and opinionated concerning setting up a wireless network with my new Airport Express and my current DSL provider: SBC. Just for information purposes my account ends in @sbcglobal.net. Now I have an old Dlink wireless router that worked fine but I would really like the speed of G and ease of apple... SO
Trouble Shooting
1) On my old dlink router I used PPPoe with my username (ending in @sbcglobal.net) and password so the router could athenticate and connect to the internet. I have since tried doing a similar setup by choosing PPPoe in the apple express menu and setting up the same user fields BUT when I connect to the network on my Mac I have no internet and in the upper right hand corner where the WIFI signal is it says "negociating..." and continues to says this... Any ideas on other settings I have not enabled or such? Anyone else with SBC DSL gotten their airport express to work?
Opinions
2) My old router operates on the WIFI B standard and I was wondering how much better will the G standard be? Will I get better reception and distance throughout the house over B AND will the speed be that different?
Thank you,
TM
Please help soon because I am still stuck on the old slow router and greatly wish to utilize my airport express

As I use PPPoA my knowledge of PPPoE is limited in that respect.
2) My old router operates on the WIFI B standard and
I was wondering how much better will the G standard
be? Will I get better reception and distance
throughout the house over B
No, if anything it might be marginally less.
AND will the speed be
that different?
In terms of an internet connection you will not notice the difference, as most internet connections are much much slower than even 802.11b.
Where you will notice the difference is internal file transfers between clients on your network.

WRT54G router with cable internet problems

I have a WRT54G wireless router and comcast internet. The internet works as long as the modem is plugged directly into the computer, but whenever I connect everything through the router I lose the internet. I'm pretty sure that the router isn't broken or anything because up until a few days ago it was working fine with verizon DSL. I didn't encounter any problems until the cable modem. I've tried as many solutions as I could find within the support area and nothing seems to work. Please help! Thanks in advance.
- Bill

Try this connection first:
Connect Modem to the back of router using Ethernet cable at the internet port of router.
Connect another cable from either 1-4 ports from back of router to back of your computer.
Open routers set up page using http://192.168.1.1 …you will see username & password …leave username blank & in password use admin.
Under set up look for “mac address clone” sub tab …. Enable it & click “clone my pcs mac”…click save settings.
Do power cycle & check whether it’s working or not.

Communications with my DSL

I just bought and am trying to set up my WRT54Gs. The only option for setup seems to be via the EasyLink Advisor.
The problem is that the EasyLink Advisor won't communicate with the wireless router. The DSL Media Converter works fine as I have plugged it back into my computer and am able to post this message.
I've check and double checked all my connections. I know that they are correct. Why won't the wireless router communicate with my DSL box.

Please access the setup page of the router by launching an Internet Explorer and type on the address bar, 192.168.1.1 and press enter. When it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field empty and provide password as “admin "" all in lower cases and then click on ok. On the main setup page select the "Internet Connection Type" as "PPPoE”. Then provide the username and password provided by your ISP (Internet service provider) for your connection(Example: [email protected])- Select the "Keep Alive" option and choose the redial period as 30 sec" and then click on the Save Settings button.

Max speed support on serial 2503

Hi All,
I have a router cisco 2503, I need to know what is Max. speed supported on serial interface? Presently we have 128KB leased line, and want to know weather I can upgrade the leased line to 256K with the same router ?
THanks,
A.S

Hello,
if you are referring to the two serial interfaces on your 2503, these are high-speed serial interfaces, which support speeds up to 2048kbps, or roughly 2MB.

Slow DSL download speed.

For over a week now my DSL download speed has only been around 430KBPS. It use to run around 730KBPS. I've contacted tech support and did all the trouble shooting procedures over and over but it doesn't help. I've turned the modem on and off many times but it does not improve the speed. So many people are having the same trouble so there must be something wrong with Verizon's service. We are not being given the service that we pay for every month. It's difficult and time consuming dealing with the overseas tech support people and not having the problem taken care of. What else can I try?

#1 What is the brand and model of your modem?
#2 What is the brand and model of your router?

3meg DSL Download speed running at dial-up speed

Since last week I’ve been getting DSL download speeds that are basically dial-up speeds. I have the 3 meg plan and for the past 10 years or so, I came close to a 2 meg download connection speed regularly.
Last week my download speed basically disappeared. I spent hours on the phone with Verizon Tech Support during the week. (Their standared 72 hours to assign a service call after creating a service ticket is bogus.) A Verizon DSL tech spent 5 hours at my house on Saturday and said the problem is on VERIZON’S END with their servers. He did it all, replaced internal wires, used his modem for the tests, checked speeds at the NID, took the router out of play, tried to get new wires from the service on the street, and still could not resolve the issue.
I show the correct 3360/864kbs connection on my DSL Modem (Actiontec GT701D) but my download speed is averaging 33K to 60K using 4 different speed tests. DSL disconnects at random also. My upload speed is typically around 700kbs – where it should be.

This performance drop off is totally unacceptable. What’s really interesting is that my service call has been closed out as “resolved”. Which is obviously has not. I am now being forced to go through support again to “diagnose” my problem.
I’ve been researching (painfully) these speed issues and have determined they are a chronic problem going back to at least 2006 for many DSL customers. The issue seems to be they have oversold DSL services and overcrowd their local Central Office servers and routers. There is supposed to be some performance issue regarding Redbank and Juniper switches. Redbank is supposed to be more reliable and Juniper aren't so. I also believe their latest “optimizing” software may also be part of the problem.
For the first time EVER, I am seriously considering converting to COMCAST because no one at Verizon (other than the DSL tech) will acknowledge they are the cause of my issue.
Anyone have a realistic idea as to what needs to be done at the Central Office to correct this issue?
Thanks for your time.

Consider yourself lucky. I have had the 3Mb plan for over ten years and initially had regular speeds of 1.5 to 3.0...until a new development was put in a block away, they were connected to Verizon, and my speeds dropped to 205 kbps down/805 kbps up at the copper drop in my basement. Many calls to Verizon resulted in modem upgrades (currently the Westell 6100) and reassurances from Verizons foreign help desk that my service was performing normally. Promises of FIOS soon being available in my area (Cedar Brook, NJ) have kept me hanging on but I stopped holding my breath a few years ago. Hopefully your service will be restored - mine most likely never will.

UK - 857 With BT ADSL MAX - Lines become unstable and router require FW upg

Hi,
We are starting to see a number of DSL MAX sites running 857 routers becoming unstable, constant loss of sync, re-authentications etc - sometimes up to 400 a day. We called out the Telco (BT) and they tested the line as OK and stable. After swapping the kit three times I spoke with TAC and they provided me with a newer version of the ATM Firmware (2.6.4) - This fixes the problem and stabilises the line.
My question is - Has anyone else seen this problem in the UK? Are BT rolling out a code upgrade to their DSLAMs or changing some hardware? Is this likely to affect all UK DSL MAX connections in the near future?
Andy.

Andy,
We've likewise seen issues with Cisco 870 routers on BT ADSL lines. I doubt that BT will do any upgrades to their DSLAMs as we've found them pretty unhelpful when it comes to DSL. We're currently rolling out a lot of 870s and I'm going to be upgrading firmware on all of them before deployment.
Cheers,
Neil

HT1498 I started downloading a rental movie on apple tv, but I live in a rural area with terrible Internet download speed...is there anyway to stop the download, and resume downloading, onto my iPad when I have access in an urban setting with high speed I

I started downloading a rental movie on apple tv, but I live in a rural area with terrible Internet download speed...is there anyway to stop the download, and resume downloading, onto my iPad when I have access in an urban setting with high speed Internet?

Yes, to be honest I was a little surprised myself. But it absolutely didn't connect when plugged into the test socket (I even tried to force a connection from the Home Hub manager but it wasn't having it). It is definitely the master socket. The only extension is a small piece of (engineer installed) phone cable to link the hub and the master socket (because the socket and mains power are unhelpfully on opposite walls of the hallway).
I ran the Java download for Google anyway and it only took about an hour. The speedtester results are as follows:
Download speed achieved during the test was - 109 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 50-250 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :2560 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 135 Kbps
I don't as a rule disconnect / reboot the hub; today it has been dropping off on its own, while several days ago I tried a few reboots just to try and get a connection.
Additional info - my exchange is actually called Claypole Fenton (or vice versa). Whatever, my profile has probably been welded to 135k for days and days.
Cheers
