WRT54G V8 wired connection recently got very slow. HELP!

Hello, I have a WRT54G V8.0 wireless router. I bought it about 3 months ago, and it was working just fine. But on the last coupe of days, the connection speed became really slow.
The setup is as follow: 2 PCs connected directly by wire, and one connected through the wireless connection. All three of them use Windows XP.
I connected the modem directly to one of the PCs and speed improves a lot. Then I connected only that PC through the router (disabling the wireless connection) and speed goes down again, so I'm pretty sure it's the router.
I did some testing using the speedtest.net website and, with the modem directly connected to the PC, I get 1024 Kbps (my connection) all around the world, but with the router on, connection speed drops to 200-400 Kbps depending on how far the test server is located. I already had the latest firmware upgrade (8.0.0.5) and I've reseted the router back to factory settings, but speed still really slow.
I'm not using any firewall on neither of the PCs, except for Windows XP default firewall.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Solved!
Go to Solution.

As you have tried all the possible settings on your router to improve the speed. I think it could be the problem with the router's firmware. May be your can do is, Re-Flash the firmware on your router, once the firmware is upgraded Press and hold the reset button for 1 minute...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 1 minute and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

It is hardly Apple's fault that Epson can't/won't update their driver, but at least Epson suggest that you use the Gutenprint driver, which in any case is far better that what Epson offer.
You can get it here:
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/
You can download the latest version from here:

Have you downloaded the recent Apple update to Epson drivers?

Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts?

IPad 1 got very slow after installing ios5

After I have installed ios5 my iPad 1 got very slow. I press the settings button and wait for 5 seconds to appear.
Any ideas?

First, we need to accept that the iPad will be slower under iOS5 than iOS4. This is a standard situation, caused by each iOS upgrade being optimized for the newest iDevices – which have much faster processors. (You should see how slow an iPhone 3G is under iOS4!)
Mine isn't dreadfully slow, but it is slower than under iOS4. Apple's ideal solution would be to upgrade to the iPad 2; assuming that (like me) you don't want to do this, the best way to speed up the iPad is to do a soft reset. (This has helped me in almost every situation where the iPad--or my iPhone--got very slow, or had too many crashes.) Hold down the Home button and the Sleep button until the screen first goes black, then shows a white apple symbol. It takes a while to finish resetting, but it clears most of the data that cause the slowdown.
To my surprise, by the way, it appears that shutting the device off (hold down the power button until the "slide to power off" bar appear, then slide) does not do as complete a job resetting the iPad as the soft reset.

IPad one nearly 3 years old has got very slow - ideas?

My iPad will be three years old in June. In the last few weeks it has got very slow - sometimes apps take ages to respond and have to be touched several times - the same with scrolling and in fact any touch control. Even then it is slow to load things.
It is a 64 gb which is only just over half full so I don't think it is because there isn't much memory.
Any ideas?

Try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if it appears.
Memory overloads can cause slow down and reboot clears those.

Numbers got very slow

Hi, I have updated numbers for the new version (Dec, 4th release) and the same worksheet I used to work got very slow, almost impossible to work with. I was wondering if someone else got the same issue.

Follow-up: Over the last several days, both the Apple engineers and the Microsoft have taken a detailed look. To their credit, both companies were seriously concerned and escalated this up to the engineers quickly. The problem is at least clear as in all cases both Apple and Microsoft engineers were unable to get a test spreadsheet with 12,000 rows x 40 columns, plus one row of calculations to draw a chart or do another set of calculations in a timely manner. In all cases, (10.4 vs 10.5, Excel 2004 vs 2008) pre-Intel Macs were 10-20x faster than Intel-based Macs. Of course, Apple blames Microsoft and Microsoft blames Apple. Nonetheless, both companies did ultimately conclude that neither Excel 2004 or 2008 can handle large spreadsheets on currently available Intel-based Macs. The issue is strange in that even turning off the automatic calculations (so there should be minimal use of system resources) does not speed it up. As these spreadsheets run fine in Excel 2007 on even our old 867MHz notebook PC, we'll try Parallels and or VMFusion running Excel 2007 next. If that fails, I guess we'll have to grab up used G5's.

My iMac is 6 years old. It has recently become very slow. Can I add memory? Other suggestions?

Several ways. Open a Finder window & the info will be at the very bottom of the window frame. Also, if you open Disk Utility, click your hard drive, the info will be listed in DU. If your HD is shown on your desktop, click on it. Also, the info can be found inside the System Profiler.

Wrt54g, no wired connection, vista? update goblin?

Hi, I have linksys router WRT54G version 6.....its wired into my desktop and i have a wireless link to my laptop, and even though I got a new computer with windows vista home premiun a week ago, its been working fine for that week......until today,nov 14, when windows did an automatic update and install and automatically restarted my computer. since then the router doesn't work for my wired connection to my desktop, it links up with the network but not the internet....i havent' checked my laptop yet, probably the same.....I disconnected from my router and hooked directly into my modem to scour the internet for help...its all a blur but i did a hard reset on my router, thinking , i'll just reset it from scratch....my installation disk asks me for a password at the last second for some reason, don't remember that the first time, don't know what it could be either, i tried admin and left if blank,nothing, just kept restarting the installation. can't get to http://192.168.1.1/. either...... any ideas? thanks

Connect the computer to the router using Ethernet cable ..... check the LAN IP ...... if getting any valid Ip in the range of 192.168.1.1 ....try to ping the gateway address
If geting any reply try opening set up page of rotuer .....
If you are not getting any valid Ip .....do power cycle for 1 minute ....then once again check the Ip ....
If still it is showing invalid Ip ...... unplug the modem from router ...leave the computer connected to router & reset the rotuer for 20-30 seconds ......
While holding the reset unplug the power cable ...wait for 10 seconds ...plug back the power cable & release the reset ....
Now once again check if getting any valid LAN ip address .....

Wrt54g - no wired connection - cannot find ethernet port upon setup, cannot get wired connection

I've had my wrt54g router for a little over 1 year. I had to get support to set up the router initially b/c it could not find the ethernet port when I tried to set it up initially. I am past that date and recently had to move the router and the PC. When I tried to redo the setup same issue - i upgraded the firmware and same issue. If i uplug the router and plug the cable directly from the cable modem into my pc, everything works well, but when i try to set up a wireless connection, the wired connection goes down, but the wireless connection works and i cannot get the wired connection back up. i am a novice with the device, so any detailed help in trouble shooting the problem and getting me back up on both a wired and wireless basis would be appreciated.

As you upgraded the router's firmware,I would suggest you to reset the router for 30 seconds and configure the router from the scratch.Make sure that the Modem is connected to the router on the internet port and the computer to the router on the ethernet port.
Also check the ip address you are getting on the computer hardwired to the router...Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...
IP Address should be 192.168.1.x, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1 (assuming your router is 192.168.1.1)...If you get the above mentioned IP Address, Subnet and Gateway Address then you should ping the Gateway, type ping 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...If it gives you request timed out then disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer...
If you get 4 replies then,try to open the setup page..

Wifi connection become's very slow on my laptop

Hi guys... So, recently I had bought my new laptop and from the first day I have noticed that the internet on it is very very slow (wifi connection). AT FIRST I thought that there is some thing wrong with my router but after 2 hours I changed my mind because the Internet speed on my mobile (which connected in the same network and router) is more fast than it on my laptop , and it is also very fast on my old laptop (pavilion i5/win7).
As I have mentioned before I had bought this one recently so it's pure.. I didn't touch it is drivers or it's software just like stock.
I also need to to say that sometimes the wifi connection on my laptop becomes fine and quite fast and in sometimes becomes slow, the interesting part is that when it becomes slow I restart my laptop and it becomes fast again!! I can't find find where is the error in, hardware or software I have no idea
Hope u could help..
Thanks in advance ^^

Bridge CC just got very slow

I am a very old and experienced Ps/Br professional, but can't get around this. My Bridge CC (on a very nice and fast quad core Windows 7 PC), at some point became very slow.
Even in the Essentials layout, just going through the thumbnails (already 100% cached, even small files, on fast HDDs always) with the arrow keys is quite slow. Opening Br became slow too.
I purged all the cache, I have no weird background programs running, there's 8GB or fast RAM. Br is now unbearable! Any ideas?

Hi guys,
Same problem here. I noticed like 2 months ago this problem and I hoped will be fixed by some update but no. I`m a hard user of Bridge with Photoshop CC, InDesign CC and sometime Illustrator CC to. At home, I use CS6 suite (Bridge included !!!) on a 7 years old laptop and BRIDGE is 10x times faster than the one running at work (Bridge CC) on a dedicated graphic PC, i5 CPU (4 threads), 16 Gb RAM, 2Gb Video card, 512 SSD ecc.
So, can anyone give us some clue/explanation about what`s going on?
Thx a lot for your time.
