WRT54GS v4 - Weird! Wireless Faster than Wired - Please help!

Hi There,
My wireless Linksys router is throttling the bandwidth of all WIRED connections.  I know this because the wireless gets me speeds up to about 10-11Mbps, but Wired only gets about 4.5mBps.  When the PCs are wired directly into Cable modem, the speed is up to the RoadRunner promised 10mbps.
Does anyone know of a fix for this so my Wired PCs can utilize the extra bandwidth I am paying for?
BTW - my router has the latest firmware (1.06.3)
Thank you!
-Mark

Please upgrade the fimrware of the Router.

  • WRT 160 N v3 locking up (wired) please help!!

    I"m starting to get very frustrated with what is going on with my router.....
    Info:
    Comcast: 32meg download , 8meg upload ... tested on speedtest.net
    I have a PC with windows 7, a HP printer, and a PS3 that are connected by etherthernet cable (wired)
    occasionally I have an android phone connect via wifi (wpa2)
    Problem:
    I have had this router for over a year with no problems and actually had a laptop and a 2nd ps3 (both wireless) that use to access this network by an old roomate.
    About a month ago.... the router randommly decides to slow down... reducing my speed to 1-2meg download and 1 meg upload.
    So far the only way I can correct this is to unplug the router and plug it back in so it resets.... this fixes it from anywhere to 1 hour to 1-2 days. Than it bogs down to 1 meg.
    Other info:
    I have not made any changes in my router for over a year, untill two weeks ago when this problem started I downloaded new firmware.  Didn't help anything.
    Also my speeds are at 32meg download, 8 meg upload when wired directly to comcast's modem. Actually had 2 different service people come out here to test everything (on their side) which leaves me to my wrt160n.... ugh, this modem was so perfect for what I needed and now it's broke.....Please help if you can, I would like to try all options before I purchase a new one.
    I also tried: total reset(start from scratch), release and renew IP, etc.. etc... How can this be happening when hard wired?
    All help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

    when you connect your com to  the modem the speed got to be faster
    because your are getting direct connection with the modem.
    when you use the router the speed gets slow because it handles multiple devices at the same time
    however as you mentioned that it is  reducing your speed to 1-2meg download and 1 meg upload.
    that seems to be really bad .try to hard reset the router for 1 minute then reconfigure your router from the scratch
    after that upgrade the firmware on the router and power cycle the entire network.and set the wireless security as WPA2 personal that would give you good speed on the wireless computers. also try to reduced the MTU to 1364....
    once you are done with these troubleshooting then  you would Definitely get the better speed .

  • XBox 360 and WRT54GS no one can fix this. Please help if you can?

    I'm totally out of ideas here and would appreciate it if someone could help me?  We have 2 XBox 360's both with the Microsoft XBox wireless adapters.  My son has had his since they first came out whatever year that was.  My youngest daughter got hers last October.  Both XBox's connect to XBox LIVE without a problem via a Linksys WRT54GS wireless router.  The problem we can't solve is - my oldest daughter and son-in-law live about a mile from us and they have an XBox 360. When we try to connect to their XBox (or anyone else that's local) to play against her and her husband, it won't connect and gives us a "Disconnected" prompt every time. They have no problem connecting to other XBox's locally but we, for some reason, can't.  I can connect our XBox directly into our cable modem bypassing the Linksys and it connects to them, so it isn't the cable modem.  I've changed settings on the router, internet, XBox with no luck.  I've updated the firmware.  I've read thru posts on the internet for weeks and now my brain is mush.  Is this fixable or do I need to buy a new wireless router?  Also, I don't know if this has anything to do with anything but we have 3 PC's and 3 DVR's also connected to the internet but are hard wired.  My kids and grandkids have DSi's, a Playststion3, and a Wii and those all connect via wireless and work great.  XBox has this WRT54GS listed as compatable.  I'm stumped.  I know there's some really sharp folks out there somewhere.......please help if you can?  Thanks for any help you could offer!

    Have you opened the ports on the router....?
    If not then,you need to open ports 53-3074 on the router..Read this link. Also,under the security tab on the router,uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...

  • Text in Hebrew has gone really weird in Motion and FCP - please help!

    Hi,
    I have been working in a project for a long time, and produced hundreds of simple titles in Motion in Hebrew. The font I have used throughout is Arial Rounded MT Bold.
    In the latest title I added one text object and made it Italic. Since then, all my Hebrew text in this title and now any previous title I open appears really weird (the vowles are disjoined from the consonants). I have turned off the Italics option on all the titles but it still does the same thing.
    This occurs even in a brand new title, where I paste the Hebrew directly into a new text object.
    I am desperate for someone to help me, as I have a tight deadline on this one. All previous titles I open appear the same, even though they were fine in the past. I have tried deleting the preference file.
    I am using Motion 4 (FCS 3) on a iMac bought last year, quad core intel.
    Please help!
    Thanks

    Thank you so much!
    Arial did not work, but Arial Bold and Arial Hebrew did!
    The font doesn't match what I was using before. I have no idea what it was using previously, but at least I can proceed from here. My previous projects have all been output to movie files so even if the motion files are now messed up, it's not the end of the world!
    Thanks again

  • My ibook doesn't detect an existing wireless connection...please help

    Hello,
    just moved into a new house with wireless connection. all the other computers (PCs) can easily detect the wireless signal but my iBook doesn't. The airport is working properly since I can detect wireless connection in the university, cafes, trains etc...
    the wireless router is a belkin.
    Do you know if some special settings are required to be detect it or if there are some settings that can exclude my airport from the network?
    please help me.... that's so frustrating!!!
    federica

    The Belkin router might have been set up to use MAC-address filtering. In that case, make sure to add the MAC-address of your Airport to the list of addresses allowed to access the router.
    Also, if the wireless connection name (SSID) is hidden (= closed network) your iBook might not see the network untill you explicitly define the network as a new Airport network connection.

  • Failing to get Wireless Internet Access.  Please Help!

    Happy new year everyone! OK so here's my problem:
    I'm trying to use the Airport connection with a linksys WRT54GS wireless router and I'm unable to access the internet. The Airport recognizes the wireless network, says its connected, but I still can't access the internet even after using a static IP address. When I go to Network Diagnostics and fill in the appropriate information, I get green status icons for all but 'Internet.' Even after running system update through a wired connection on the PBG4 thinking I may have had some outdated soft/firmware, I still couldn't connect to the internet. I've put more time into this than I should have at this point and am completely stumped as to how I can remedy this problem. If there's anyone out there that could help me out I'd really appreciate it. Thanks a lot!

  • How can I get rid of weird stuff going on? Please help!

    Please some one help. Or re-direct me to a web site that can help.
    I installed 10.5.1 on my G4 Powerbook 1.67 Mhz from OS 10.3.9
    The first thing that went wrong was that the Sound application got grayed out after the restart. The mute button in the Preferences was clicked but grayed out. So I installed again like before. So it worked.
    So next I put one of my folders I kept always on the Desktop, where I had saved over the years pictures and things of interest, to have a fast access. I put this folder in to the Dock and tested it and the folder expanded and showed all the files in stack mode or grid. That is the last time I saw the Folder working in the Dock. Next the Icon showed a ? (question mark) that meant the original could not be accessed. Well even though I new the Folder name for sure and searched it, it just had disappeared.
    So next I went to Starbucks since I don't have DSL and Downloaded the upgrade to 10.5.2 than I went home. And just for the **** of it checked for new upgrades on my Dial-Up connection to find 4 new upgrades.(Safari 3.1, Leopard Graphic, Time Machine and Airport and Security 2008_002) Since it takes hours to download with my dial up connection I just choose to Download the Time Machine and Airport Update of 10.2 MB. It downloaded and up came the window that the new software needs a restart. So I clicked restart up comes a window that says "Installing 1 item". I had changed my Desktop image earlier but when the "Installing 1 item" window came up it changed back to the back ground that you first see on your desktop after installation. The cloud burst in purple??/
    In the "Install 1 item" window the status bar started moving for about 1 inch saying "Configuring Installation" and than stopped. And that was it. I waited for about 45 minutes and since nothing happened and I had no options I had to hold the start button down to shut down. Now after a deal like this I run always Utilities to repair the Permissions. That program is totally out of whack. It stops shortly after you click Repair Permissions and says something like "Repairing Permission Estimated time less than a minute". Well it takes about 10 minutes, than the status bar moves a bit and it says "Estimated time 39 minutes and than immediately counts down (like seconds) to 0 and says that the permissions are repaired. I also see and old blank disk entry that I had ejected earlier that still shows up in the left pane of the Utilities window.When I click on it the Utilities window moves from the First Aid tab to the next tab thats called Erase and ask me if I want to erase the DVD. But there is NO DVD in my drive.Now after Disk Utilitie repaired the Permission the following text appears in the window.
    ACL found but not expected on "Applications/Utilities"
    ACL found but not expected on "Application"
    ACL found but not expected on "Library"
    Sometimes there are a few more lines of text like this but this is just showing while I type this.
    So do you have any idea? what's going on. Otherwise everything seems to work alright like CS 2, Mail, Safari, Word and all my other programs. I also had weeded out as good as I could the old left over files and apps from OS 9 (classic)
    Any help would surely be great. Sincerely Volker and thanks for reading this long request.

    There's a lot there, so I'll start with the parts I can answer quickly.
    The "ACL found but not expected..." messages can be safely ignored, so says this article
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306925
    (look below all the "SUID" examples)
    I had changed my Desktop image earlier but when the "Installing 1 item" window came up it changed back to the back ground that you first see on your desktop after installation.
    Leopard installs updates a bit differently. If it's simply an application that does not change system files, it installs them like before, without having to restart. If the update is to the system, then you must immediately "restart," It then goes to that stars and purple screen to perform the installation. Before, it would do the installation while you still had control of the Mac and would prompt you to restart when it finished the installation. This change probably make things more secure and reliable, because you aren't allowed to do other things on the Mac while system updates are being installed.
    Please post back with the remaining point of concern.

  • Perplexing Wireless Router Issue! Please Help!

    OK Guys and Girls, I could really use some help.  I have a wireless router Mod. WRT54G ver. 2.0, and yes it has the firmware upgrade. The problem that I am current having is this, my computer can connect to the router no problem, and  i  can access the settings too, but it will not let me access the internet at all. It's not the cable modem because I can hook up my laptop to it and get internet.  So in short the router isn't, for some strange reason, letting my computer access the internet but the router can access the web.  Please any suggestions are welcome. Thank you in advanced.

    Access the setup page of the router by launching an
    Browser 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" (Without quotes)
    click on ok.
    On the main setup page the ""Internet Connection Type"" should be
    on ""Obtain IP Automatically - DHCP “. Click on the Save Settings
    button.
    Now click on the sub tab ""MAC address clone"".
    - Click on enable
    Click Clone & click save settings
    Check WAN Ip on Status page of router ....
    If getting Valid Ip .... try going online
    If not ... power cycle for 4-5 minutes & then again check the WAN Ip address .....

  • Wireless connection speed fluctuating:  please help if you can.

    Hi there,
    I have a problem with wireless Internet connection speed which spinning my head off, I desperately need other people advice please.
    My AirPort Express (AirTunes) serves the flat with Internet, two pc’s and an iMac (Intel Chip). The first pc is a sony laptop that has the Centrino platform (i.e. Wireless ready) and the other pc has an internal D-Link Air DWL-510 wireless PCI (IEEE 802.11b)
    The laptop seems to get the maximum speed of the internet connection anytime anywhere in the flat, the iMac gets 70% of the connection speed. While the PC with DWL-510 gets only 30 – 40% of the connection speed only. However, sometimes all the sudden, both the iMac & the PC will get the maximum speed as it should! On a random bases.
    I am puzzled trying to establish why is that happening? what could it possibly be that is curbing the connection speed to start with? And what changes that sometimes the pc will get the full connection speed? I have a wireless phone at home, I have a wireless temperature controller as well, and there are wooden walls dividing the rooms in between. I tried switching the wireless devices on and off but the results produced had no affect. My AirPort Express is password protected, so (most likely) no one is steeling my bandwidth. So, what else am missing? What other factors that causing this fluctuation in my internet connection!!?? Please advice if you can think of anything?
    Many thanks.

    hello Satchmo.. thanks a lot for your reply.
    In regards to the first point (ISP connection), I agree. When I tried to test the line some time ago (on a wired link) I noticed the fluctuation, but it was acceptable. The problem I have now is that the 2mb connection I have, this particular pc receives only 600kb (+/- 10% variable), where is the other 1.4mb going? Sometimes, all the sudden I notice my connection go mad and I get the full speed for a while! I don't know what has changed from the surroundings.
    The other things you mentioned (source of influence i.e. other wireless networks that might be crossing mine, bluetooth devices and Ethernet port is used while the wireless is in use) all are viable possibilities. I’ll start testing to check if any of ‘em is the case. Especially other wireless networks, cause its seems that my wireless card discovers at least other two connections along side to mine. I guess if it was the case, nothing much I’ll be able to do about it.
    Also thnx for the link.. I don’t understand why I failed to find it when I searched the net!!

  • WRT54GS what is the setup password.. please help

    I just bought this router.. when i go to set it up i come up to step 8 and it asks for a password. Ive tried everything including admin.. does anyone know what i should type in? to get me to the next step..please help

    Press the reset the button of router for 30 seconds to make sure all the settings are reset. Since the set-up CD did not run and configure properly for the 1st time. You may try configuring the router manually.
    1st what is the exact model number and version number of your router? You may find it underneath the router itself on one of the stickers. Example would be the image below.
    If it is WRT54G v5 or v6 then you need to upgrade the firmware (operating system of the router) to make it work to it's maximum potential.
    To upgrade the firmware:
    1. Connect computer directly to modem and download the file to your desktop from www.linksys.com/downloads (search for your product model number on the list)
    2. Connect modem-router internet port
    3. Connect computer to router port 1
    4. click on start - run (type in cmd
    5. on the DOS prompt type in ipconfig (take note of the default gateway)
    6. open up internet explorer and type in 192.168.1.1 (i.e default gateway)
    7. go to the Administration tab and go to Firmware Upgrade
    8: click on browse - search for the downloaded file - click on open and then click on upgrade
    9. after it says upgrade successful - rebooting - click on continue
    10. press reset button of the router for 30 seconds and powercycle (i.e turn off and turn back on router)
    After you have done this. Connect your computer back to the modem and go to www.linksys.com/easy and use EasyLink Connect to configure the router.

  • Router and Wireless Ps3 Problems. Please help.

    well ok i had a previous router, wireless, and it work well with my ps3. Then i found out hey wait, my NAT type 3 is preventing me from playing with my friends. So i tried to fix it. Well something went wrong and my router just completely failed on me. So i went and bought a Linksys WRT160N. Bam it was amazing. My internet work on my ps3 and computer. But yet i still had a NAT type3. The only positive thing was i now had uPnP avaliable. So i went to try and fix my NAT type....then something went wrong again. Today i was opening the ports b/c someone said open your ports to change NAT 3 to NAT 2. Then all of a sudden i try my connection on my ps3 and it says Error 8013013E, cannot reach the access point. It wouldnt even get the Ip Adress. Everything is typed in right and the WPA security, but still cant connect to the access point. Plus if this helps, when i try to do the Wi-Fi Protective Setup, it says failed. I was thinking about just returning the router to its manufactured state but i dont know how. Any suggestions??
