WRT54GL not allowing FLV file download to run properly

We are attempting to download Flash content for homebound schooling and the downloads are running very slowly when connected (wired or wireless) through our linksys router. Through the router we are seeing less than 20K per second but if I bypass the router and connect the computer directly to the Verizon DSL modem, I see about 250-300K. Are there any controls available on the router to allow these to download normally?
We have not seen the same sort of slowness with any other type of content but I saw this with just trying to transfer the material to the desktop so the flash player was not even involved. I can't see how the router would be effecting only ".flv" content files. Right now this is unworkable and the router will need to go if it can't be made to work. Same issue with XP Media Center  & Vista.

I had been having some other annoying issues with this router so I decided to replace it rather than fight with it further. The new router, a Belkin N+ seems to work fine on the flv files.
One of the annoying issues that the LinkSys router had was that it would often assign the same IP address to multiple PCs on the network. I had decreased the DHCP lease time but that did not seem to help. I'd put a laptop back on the network after the lease should have expired, and sometime it would be assigned the same address as a system already on the network. 
I plan to keep the linksys as a backup so if I ever put it back into service, I will plan to update the firmaware at that point.

  • Videoplayback.flv file downloaded from YouTube video via Safari will not play

    Hello All,
      Here is my question to you:
      Has Safari been altered in such a manner as to NOT allow you to download videos direct from YouTube to your Mac without some intermediary interface?
      Here are the steps I would use to download the source .flv video file from a video on YouTube to save it on my MacBook Pro:
    1. Open Safari.
    2. Go to http://www.youtube.com.
    3. Enter name of video to view/download in the search bar and hit 'enter'.
    4. Start video.
    5. While video is playing:
         A) Click on 'Window' in Safari's menu bar at the top of the screen.
         B) Select 'Activity'.
    6. A window will open showing data status of the video.
    7. Locate the largest loading file size and wait until it is finished loading.
    8. Double-click on that file size.
    9. A small 'Downloads' window will appear showing file download status.
    10. Navigate to your 'Downloads' folder and drag the file named 'videoplayback.flv to the desktop.
    11.  Double-click the aforementioned file to start the video in a suitable .flv player (I was using SWF & FLV Player originally).
    This process no longer works.  All I get is a black screen when I double-click the downloaded .flv file.
    Notes:
      The file size in Step 7 above would vary accordingly to the length of the video, but now every video I try to save as a .flv is approximately 1.7MB no matter how long the video is.  Something isn't right here.
      I had originally downloaded and used SWF & FLV Player to view my video when the above process used to work, but now it has upgraded itself to Elmedia Player and wants me to upgrade to the PRO edition to be able to download videos from YouTube.
    Any insight to this will be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance for reading and responding to my question!
    Sincerely,
    - Austin C.

    Thank you for your timely response and suggestion, Mr. Davis!
      I did exactly as you said, made sure there was NO trace of the Elmedia player anywhere on my machine after the uninstallation procedure, but unfortunately this did not work.
      When I dropped the videoplayback.flv file into the VLC player, I get this error message:
      There is something deeper going on within Safari, I believe.  The fact that different length videos on YouTube all yield the same 1.7MB file size when I try to download them is puzzling.
    Thoughts?

  • Your current security settings do not allow this file....

    Trying to download the latest version of iTunes and get the message "Your current security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded." I have made no changes at all, previous to attempting to download this update and have never had a download problem previous to this. I turned off my antivirus and set my browser security to its' lowest security level; still get the same message.

    Uh...that would be a tad difficult. I'm not supposed to have it. No one is...yet. I keep in touch with a friend I worked with as a PC tech about 10 years ago at a Best Buy (while in college.) He does Beta testing, sends me odds and ends (that typically wreck my system) and this one halfway works (actually less than half the features.) But, I've escaped bad software in the past using it. Sometimes, however, it prevents good software from loading as well. That's why I have asked if anyone else reported this kind of thing.
    The name, if you can find it, is 'Illegal Opcodes Anti-Trash.' Illegal Opcode is a screen name, by the way. And, it was written using Visual Basic. That's about all I can give you; that's pretty much all I know.
    If anyone else can verify something similar to this, let me know. I could uninstall it (Anti-Trash) and try again, but I just read other peoples problems and I'm a little leary to say the least. My current version of iTunes still works fine, so why risk it.
    Thanks for the feedback,
    Bradley

  • Iphoto not allowing photos to download on iOS4?

    iphoto not allowing photos to download on iOS4?
    since upgrading no photos are reading ... just locks and wont read any shots as i try and view on iphoto

    All photos taken since i upgraded to iOS4 on my iphone 3Gs are not showing up when connecting to photo, plus i recently upgraded iphoto to 8.1.2.
    The message was that 'one shot must be damaged or corrupted' etc etc
    So from what you are saying, you may or may not have some corrupt photos on your camera roll in your iPhone and when you try to import them into iPhoto, you are given a message that there is one or more corrupt photos on the iPhone. Is that correct?
    Mysteriously though - today it works?
    But today when you tried it again, it worked and all photos downloaded.
    Is that correct?
    I did try and reload an older version of my iphoto back on....
    but not sure what happened...
    What did you try to load the older version of iPhoto on to? iPhoto 09 is all part of iLife 09. I am not sure, but I doubt the Mac will let you remove one part of the package and replace it with an earlier version EG iPhoto 08.
    Make sure that you have all the latest versions of software on your computer.
    On you mac, got to the Software Update menu option under the apple logo drop down menu.
    It will scan your computer verses the apple updates available and give you a list of all updates available for your computer.
    Based on the info you have supplied so far, you should have;
    OSX 10.5.8
    iPhoto 8.1.2
    iTunes 9.2.1
    If you have corrupt images on your phone, it is very possible that iphoto could have issues with importing the photos.
    Open Image Capture on your Mac, you will find it in the Applications folder and connect your iPhone. this will show you the photos that you currently have, it shows a small thumbnail of the picture, the file Name, Date taken, etc.
    If there are any corrupt photos on the iphone, you will not see the thumbnail of the photo, you will just see an icon saying jpeg or something similar.
    If you have any of these, delete them using Image Capture.
    Eject your iphone from Image Capture, unplug the iPhone and close Image Capture.
    On the iPhone, open the Photos App and now make sure that you can see your photos.
    Once you are happy that you can, plug the phone back into your Mac and import them into iPhoto as you normally would.
    Hope this helps.

  • My Win7 Ultimate will not allow LR4 to download.Note:Current security settings won't allow.

    My Win7 Ultimate will not allow LR4 to download. Message is"current security settings do not allow file to be downloaded". I have shut down all antivirus programs...still no luck. ?What to do?

    More detail about your scenario is needed:
    Windows 7 doesn’t download anything, itself.  If you are using a browser to download and it is a browser security message then poke around in the browser settinsg to see if you can see a setting to enable or disable to allow downloads.  If you are in a managed network environment it is possible that the downloads are disabled by a group policy that cannot be overridden by the normal user and you’d have to take up your issue with your supervisor or network administration personnel.
    Assuming you’re using Internet Explorer, you might also just try another browser, like Firefox or Chrome available that might have more relaxed security settings.
    The source of the message should be somewhat obvious and whatever is issuing the message is the thing to tweak the settings of.  This really isn’t a Windows Security forum so don’t expect anyone to give you click-by-click instructions for each browser type and version.

    my phone keep asking me to sign in to iTunes store and will not allow me to download apps. it sends a message saying "Cannot connect to itunes store" what do i do?

    Remember, any purchased item from the itunes store is forever associated with the Apple ID used to buy it.  So when you get prompted for an ID/password and it doesn't accept it, then you are using the wrong ID.
    Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores, be sure it's logged into the ID you have set on the iphone (since that one seems to be connecting with the right ID).  If you've done this, then you might wait a bit to see if the "cannot connect to .. store" message has to do with internet connections.

    WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO DOWNLOAD A MOVIE THAT I HAVE A DIGITAL COPY FOR IT GIVES ME A MESSAGE about purchasing a hd version vs the sd version

    Hello everyone,
    I was having the exact same, irritating, problem.  The only way I was able to work around this lovely little quirk was to redeem the code on my iPod touch.  I would guess it would also work on any apple touch pad device.  I only had to input the code once and it began downloading.  I was then able to go back to my iTunes on PC and it began downloading there too.
    *Sidenote: Be sure to uncheck the "Download HD when available" option.
    I hope this works and helps the rest of you.

    Thank you so much! It's updating now. I'm hoping that once the update is finished that it will sync like normal as well. Of course I'm still a bit confused/concerned about how it refused to update on it's own, but for now that's not a problem. Hopefully from now on there won't be any more problems.
