WRVS4400N - Limited WAN Speed?

Hey there,
My customer has a WRVS4400N from November 2011 running the latest V2.0.2.2 firmware. I've looked through settings and tried a couple things, but no matter what... I cannot achieve faster than 25 Mbps Download. We also added a D-Link for a Fonality VoIP system and anything connected through that router can get 50 Mbps.
Is there any reason this Cisco would not be able to download at 50 Mbps?

My comment about changing brands wasn't because of the speed limitation... It was the support limitation.
I called in for help / questions and was told my "Lifetime Warranty" product carries no support / ability to HELP DETERMINE if I have a defective unit. NETGEAR has helped me without a problem in the past on 5 year old ProSafe routers.
In this situation, I did replace the clients router with an RV180W and have no issues achieving beyond 50 Mbps.

RVS4000 & WRVS4400N Limited Internet Speed

Both of these model units apear to have a max Internet downlink speed of about 26 or 27Mbs. I have tested this with 10 different units at 3 different sites where the provided broadband downlink speed is a full 50Mbs, including in my own office. My normal router is a Cisco ASA5505 and I have also connected a Cisco 1840 router and even an old Linksys router and all achieve the full 50MBs speed using a variety of speed test sites. The cable modem at my office and at the other sites have a gigabit LAN connection and the RVS4000/WRVS4400N units certainly should be able to achieve the 50Mbs speed. I would appreciate a Cisco rep replying to this. If this issue can not be resolved, my clients will no doubt want me to install a different manufacturer's unit, which I will do.
Thanks,

Hello Ed Ruth,
I did some research and found the following:
Previous issues similar to yours were fixed or at least the speed was improved
after disabling some features like:
IPS => internet speed, disabling the firewall also improved notably speed throughput
in this device.
According to Cisco's developers and engineering team:
In the datasheet the speed stated is a maximum aggregated throughput - upload and download on all ports when IPS and Firewall are disabled. In the real world Internet connections there are a lot of factors which prevent router to get the maximum speed - encapsulation, interference, errors, protocols session negotiation and error correction etc.
The product has a lot of features, that is why download speeds are not so high when the device performs a routing. For the raw power, customer needs a device with less features and more speed-oriented like gamers routers. If customer doesn't need business features as VLANs, VPN, SNMP etc., we can recommend E3000 router rom the Cisco Home product range.
My best suggestion if you have further questions and are really concern about this issue which is a matter of device's capabilities, I will suggest that you open a case with TAC so that they can guide you better about if this will be necessary to contact Cisco's presales or provide you with some other options you can take advantage of in order to get a different device or disable the features mentioned previously.
Hope this helps you with your issue.

Port speed and Wan speed

While reading Cisco documentation, router have a specific WAN speed up to 21 Mbps etc or more depending on router. You also see port speeds of 100Mbps or 1Gbps, but why are Wan speeds limited to far less on most Cisco routers.

If a router can support, for example, 21 Mbps, you don't want to have an interface of only 10 Mbps and you'll find router with 100 Mbps interface.
Same goes with routers that can support, for example, 125 Mbps. The routers will come with 1 Gbps interface instead of 100 Mbps interface.

Wan speed in distributed SAP installations

Dear experts,
development / tests system and production/simulation systems are geographically located in different places and hence the /usr/sap/trans is located at the production systems.
In this case what should be the Wan speed recommended in distributed SAP installation for the NFS mount?
Is there a note, document or tool to evaluate the architecture?
Regards,
Chidu

I don't know any documentation regarding this, as it's highly dependent on your usage profile of data interchange between the systems. Consider the load of following maintenance activities (list is not complete): pure transport load, client copies (RFC or TMS), system copies (backup/restore infrastructure), support packages, upgrades, connection to central systems (SLD, SolMan, Portal).
Due to this generally I would not advise to separate systems of one landscape into several datacenters without proper reason.
On the other side if you have to do so, I think /usr/sap/trans will not make any problems with midsize enterprise WAN connection (>= 2MBit sync.). But you will have to bear in mind that connection could be slower if you need to transfer more date (e.g. syscopy from P to Q). Best will be : set it up, test it, and for the case that there will be any problems save the possibility to enhance bandwidth afterwards.

Time Capsule Wan Speed to slow for my Broadband speed

I found a topic about the Wan Speed but can't reply in that topic anymore so a new topic.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11735111#11735111
My dualband TC is only capable of giving me 70-80 Mbit/s of the 120 Mbit/s I'm getting from my provider. I've upgraded to CAT6 cables but that didn't gave me anything more up till now.
My WAN connection is set to automatic in the TC settings. Would it help if I choose for 1000 Full duplex manual??? Can test this soon enough but did anyone have similar problems with WAN Speed?
I have quite some port forwards to my Mailserver and stuff. I tried with factory defaults TC and that gave me only one test with around a peak of 100 Mbit/s on a rare occasion.
Up till now happy TC user but this is strange with everything on Gigabit ports you would expect more of the hardware... Also the reference to 400 Mbit/s on the WAN for an AEB would suggest more from a TC wouldn't it??

BT has limited my speed even though I have upto 20...

I have an unlimited (upto 20mbs) broadband package. I was tired of the slow speeds and was really close to switching providers but the BT rep told me that he would ensure that my speed would be as high as possible for my area and offered me a monthly discount of sorts upon renewal.
However It is clear to me that BT are limiting my speed to 4 Mbs. I have complained twice to BT and have gotten nowhere.
There are 2 heavy internet users in the household and 4 Mbs shared between 2-3 people is not acceptable when we could have easily gone to another provider.
I suspect heavy users are PUNISHED by having their speed limited.
BT are clearly breaking the contract here, can i cancel and switch provider?
Or can a BT rep here help me fix the problem without me having to do so. thanks.

welcome to the forum
in order for someone to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z, if netgear enter 192.168.0.1) and run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems) http://speedtester.bt.com and post the results .
are you connected directly to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Do you have any phone extension sockets in your home?
Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone
Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

Is limiting network speed by setting adapter speed good? [SOLVED: yes]

i have an arch NAT router PC which has 3 network adapters present; "external" for my cable modem interface, "internal" for an internal subnet 172.16.0.0/16, and "wifi" which is a separate internal subnet 192.168.192.0/24 open wifi that I recently setup for guests and the like. the open wifi is explicitly barred access to the 172 network with iptables. i currently have a 50mbps down/10mbps up comcast internet connection. i have been limiting the open wifi's speed by setting the NIC designated for it to 10 mbps, just so that all of my bandwidth isn't completely eaten up. this appears to work completely fine; realistic speed is measured to around 8mbps throughput, which I consider fine for basic internet access.
i'm just curious whether this is an appropriate method to restrict bandwidth speed? i've read about something called "qdisc" which could limit speeds within iptables, is this a better way to accomplish this?

Luckily you are in the position of having a whole link that you want a hard limit on.
tc is more for traffic control between source and destination of packets going over the same link, or dynamic stuff. However, it will never be as trusted as a link set to a slower bit rate, and can be a pain to manage/T-Shoot.
Over the WAN traffic control is normally done with switching protocols like ATM and MPLS. However, even on large networks clients may be rate limited by the network admin simply setting the speed of their link slower in the configuration then what it can really handle.

Limited Internet Speed in OS X

Hi, I've been having problem with the internet speed available to my Mac. I have a 2MBit broadband connection and, while my families G3 iMac and my dads AlBook both seem to be able to use the full connection, my TiBook and my new iMac Core Duo only use half (at best) to a quarter (usually) of it ie 50KB/s rather than 200KB/s. Now I've just got this iMac and transferred the settings over from my TiBook so I'm 99.9% sure it's a problem in OS X but I'm not sure what. I know it isn't the internet connection because two other macs work fine and it isn't the router limiting on IP because I've changed the IP and it doesn't do anything. Both the iMac and TiBook are connected using Airport to a Netgear router and both are running Tiger.
Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Should we assume the other macs are connected to the router via ethernet? How's the airport reception on the two macs? How far from the router are the macs? Any signal degrading issues like walls, partitions, etc?

OPTION 3 LIMITED AdSL Speed RESTRICTION ...

Hi Guys
My Option 3 LIMITED! 8mb Broadband service speed gone down By BT to 0.7 -1.5 mbps...
That happened 27-03-10 and today it's still same ....
Do you guys have any idea how long does this punishment is going to Last?
2nd of April and its still Restricted to very Low speed for very High Price!
If I had a chance to move to Cable I will do it first thing in the morning but I'm not in the Cable area
I know It's Rude but I hate Bad Telecommunications and Their Call centres that located in India !
Thanx in advance for any info...

Did you not get a warning email from BT informing you when your usage hit 80gb and that if you hit 100gb in March you would have a speed restriction placed upon you? When you go over the 'fair usage' 100gb limit, BT restrict your speed between 5pm and 11pm to 1mbs. Its very very difficult for me to stay under under 100 gb having 4 teenagers and 5 pc's in the house. I was speed rescricted last month but as I remained under 100gb this last 30 days they have immediately lifted my restriction.
If you have had no mails from BT about usage, I suggest you leave a note in this thread for the moderators who can have a look at your account for you to see if there isnt another problem.
Hope this helps

RV180 WAN speed issue

I've connected an RV180 to a 100mb symmetric leased line but we're not getting anywhere near that speed (more like 10mb). I selected this router because it's supposed to support that speed. Our provider told us to disable auto-negotiation on the WAN port which I have done, and also to set it to 100/full, but we then get no connection at all, and have to leave it on 1000/full. Wondering if anyone can suggest anything?
thanks

From http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/lanwan/lanwan-reviews/31746-cisco-rv180-vpn-router-reviewed?showall=&start=3, you can have a good feel of the network performance of RV180.
Definitely, there is something wrong if you're only getting 10Mbps or so.
Try disabling all firewall, QoS, and when you measure performance, try for a remote site as near as possible. If you're in USA, you won't want to use a speed test server in China, for example.

Limited burning speed

Every so often, I find that my burn speed is limited to 2x when burning from the desktop. If I use dvd studio pro, I get the option of faster write speeds. Same package of discs, it just seems to decide it wants to take it easy for the day & go slow. Any ideas?

It might be the type of data your trying to burn? Iv never had this happen to me when I burn discs. It could be that some of your discs in the package are slightly defective...
Sorry I couldn't shed any light
Matt
P.S. This post talks about quality of discs. Iv found that sometimes the Pro applications let you get away with things that other apps wont.

WRVS4400N - Seriosuly Restricted Speed

Hello,
I recently purchased a WRVS4400N for our office and we are having speed restriction issues. We have a 50/5 connection here. Plugging any device straight into the modem we average 48.5 down / 4.8 up. Once the router is entered in the equation. we receive speeds no greater than 18 down / 3 up. Any help, thoughts or advice?
ISP: Bright House Tampa Bay
Modem: SMC SMCD3GN
Location: Tampa, FL
Thanks in Advance,

Lenovo G550 and Sagem Fast 800 ADSL modem - limits DL speed to approx. 500kbit/s

Hi,
I bought Lenovo G550 on Tuesday and since then I've got a strange issue with my Internet connection. Until Tuesday I was using Sagem Fast 800 ADSL modem from my ISP on Toshiba Satellite A100-712 notebook since June 2008 with 1Mbit connection and everything was fine - DL speed was 128KB/s (1Mbit/s) as it should, but now on Lenovo the max DL speed I get is ~500kbit/s (60KB/s) and I can't overcome it..
I've done the following so far:
* I have tried on preinstalled Windows Vista - max DL speed I get is ~500kbit/s
* I have installed Windows XP Professional SP3, Sagem drivers installed properly, no unknown devices in device manager - max DL speed I get is ~500kbit/s
* I have installed Windows 7 Professional, Sagem drivers installed properly, no unknown devices in device manager - max DL speed I get is ~500kbit/s
* I've checked download speed on "real" downloads and DSL testing portals (dsl.cz, speedtest.pl, speedtest2.com) - max DL speed I get is ~500kbit/s
* I have turned off energy saving on USB and ADSL modems on all 3 Windows OS mentioned, restarted the PC - max DL speed I get is ~500kbit/s
* I have plugged and checked the download speed on all 3 USB ports - max DL speed I get is ~500kbit/s
* I have installed cFosSpeed - max DL speed I get is ~500kbit/s
* I've called the ISP, they checked the connection (1Mbit shown up in their tests), checked if there are any problems with their infrastructure (nothing was wrong), finally reset my port and asked to check my DL speed - max DL speed I get is ~500kbit/s
* the ISP has sent an onsite technician, guy brought his own HP notebook and Sagem Fast 800 modem (just like mine) to check my connection - on his HP laptop both mine and his modems got 1Mbit/s DL speed, and when I tried both modems with my Lenovo G550, guess what -max DL speed I got was ~500kbit/s on both of them (so it's obvious that it's not modem, line or ISP's fault)
It seems that this issue is notebook related. I'm running out of ideas, the last thing I'm going to try today is to run Ubuntu LiveCD and check my DL speed then, but to be honest I don't expect it to change anything.
Could anyone possibly help me? It really sucks to pay for 1Mbit and have real download speed less than half of it.
Regards,
PW

Testing html page limiting the speed

:confused;
I want to be able to have my dreamweaver html page to display
in internet explorer 6 as if I was running at a really low bandwith
so I can test the loading speed visually.
I have preferences set in dreamweaver to display in the
status bar the load speed at 56K. However I want it to display the
page in Internet explorer as if I have a very slow speed. Then I
can check layers are loading in right order etc.
Apparently this is not a a Dreamweaver setting. SO
.. is there an Internet explorer setting so that it loads at
say 56K?
.. Or is there an add on tool to be able to do this?
With thanks,

See if publishing an html page with Flash produces the same result.
