Hello, im new here and this is my first post.

Il try to make this as much understandable as possible.

I have a Fiberoptics modem that goes to my DIR-655 Router

I have tried alot of setups and configs on the router but i cant get over 19 mbps with wifi.
I get 60mbps or over with wired. (Win 7 x64)

I have 802 N support and set to G/B/N Supprt due some old computers in the house.
Chan 11
20/40 Mbps
Wish off

I have more information if needed.

Thanks

What Hardware version is your router? Look at sticker under router.
What Firmware version is currently loaded? Found on routers web page under status.
What region are you located?
Are you wired or wireless connected to the router?


Some things to try:
Turn off ALL QoS or Disable Traffic Shaping (DIR only) GameFuel (DGL only and if ON.) options. Advanced/QoS or Gamefuel.
Turn off Advanced DNS Services if you have this option under Setup/Internet/Manual.
Turn on DNS Relay under Setup/Networking.
Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices ON the router. Setup/Networking
Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
Set Firewall settings to Endpoint Independent for TCP and UDP under Advanced/Firewall.
Enable uPnP and Multi-cast Streaming under Advanced/Networking.

What wireless modes are you using? Under Setup/Wireless/Manual.
Try single mode G or mixed G and N?
What security mode are you using? Preferred security is WPA-Personal. WPA2/Auto TPIK and AES. Some WiFi adapters don't support AES, so you might want to try TPIK only.
Turn off Short GI and Extra Wireless Protection if you have it. Under Advanced/Advanced Wireless.

Turn off all anti virus and firewall programs on PC while testing. 3rd party firewalls are not generally needed when using routers as they are effective on blocking malicious inbound traffic.
Turn off all devices accept for one wired PC while testing.

Check cable between Modem and Router, swap out to be sure. Cat6 is recommended.

Are you wired or wireless connected to the router?
Wireless

Need to test with a wired PC and use a speed testing site like speedtest.net or dslreports.com.
Testing speed over wireless isn't good since many variables in wireless effect it's performance.

"Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g and 802.11n specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors,
including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental factors will adversely affect
wireless signal range."

Hello, I got 64 Mbps Wired. But i got around 50mbps with speedtest some time ago before i Reconfigured the router. I think some settings are wrong.

I keep thinking that if i uploaded photos of the setings you would say "ooh you haven't taken blablabla off or on"

Maybe Wireless can't handle more than 20mbps

[FurryNutz]

Maybe someone can review your router settings with you using teamviewer.

[pajacas]

hm, sounds like a plan, but of those ppl i know im the one that "knows" inet and routers.

So i cant get any help there

[FurryNutz]

Teamviwer is a remote access program what allows people like ME to help others review and configure there routers. However I guess you already new that.

[pajacas]

yea, got it installed. Used it from my Phone at work to do things on my computer. neat program.

So, would you look at my settings?

[FurryNutz]

Sure, send me a PM with ID and PW.

[pajacas]

Wierdest thing, after some testing etc i swapped encryptiontype from TKIP to AES and now the
Download speed goes from 20mbps to 28mbps! and the upload to 37mbps!

[FurryNutz]

AES has better performance than TPIK.
