hey. just here to say that the router works wonderful. it's been a few weeks and i haven't had any problems. the signal range is awesome. my concern was that the signal won't pass thru all the wall/rooms of my apartment but it even reaches 4 floors down to a bench where i usually relax. i'm very pleased of the router and how it works. thanks for the help with setting it up 

[FurryNutz]

Good to hear. Enjoy it man.

i have simillar problem. i cant go up to more then 130mbps on 1 computer, on other more then 65mbps, and with 130mbps net is slow too, on cabel all is ok 100mbps real download speed and so on. but wireless just real 67mbps max on 130mbps connection
Network places max speed in 1m range to router on wireless just 2mb/s speed

What HW version is your router?
What FW version is currently loaded?

What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
What ISP Modem do you have? Stand Alone or built in router?
What ISP Modem make and model do you have?

Ensure DNS IP addresses are being filled in under Setup/Internet/Manual?
Turn off QoS options.
Turn off Advanced DNS Services if you have this option Setup/Internet/Manual.
Turn on DNS Relay under Setup/Networking.
Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices on the router.
Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
Set Firewall settings to Endpoint Independent for TCP and UDP.

What wireless modes are you using?
Try single mode G or mixed G and N?
What security mode are you using? WEP, WPA or WPA2? Preferred is WPA2 and Cipher type to AES only if your device support this.
Using mixed modes will produce lower connection speeds. FYI, you can not attain the same transfer speeds as wired connection due to external interferences, radio signal quality and the nature of the beast that wireless can't go that fast...yet. I usually see about 5-15Mbs between my laptop and a server on the same network.

Always test the speed connections using a wired connections. Wireless can not give the same or reliable readings.

What HW version is your router? E4
What FW version is currently loaded? 5.11RU

What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL? Cable
What ISP Modem do you have? Stand Alone or built in router? Dont know, i just got cable from them to my house.
What ISP Modem make and model do you have? --

Ensure DNS IP addresses are being filled in under Setup/Internet/Manual? 00.00.00.00 dont know mine dns
Turn off QoS options. off
Turn off Advanced DNS Services if you have this option Setup/Internet/Manual. off
Turn on DNS Relay under Setup/Networking. on
Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices on the router.  reserved for all
Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address. auto
Set Firewall settings to Endpoint Independent for TCP and UDP. independent

What wireless modes are you using? mixed g and n
Try single mode G or mixed G and N? the same result
What security mode are you using? WEP, WPA or WPA2? Preferred is WPA2 and Cipher type to AES only if your device support this. wpa2 aes

So you say i buy new router 300mbps model to have 60mbps in 1 metter from router? i had that ressult with cheap g router, but it uses all 54mbps

Ensure DNS IP addresses are being filled in under Setup/Internet/Manual? 00.00.00.00 dont know mine dns

These should be filled in or you  an fill them in by using the Primary and 2ndary DNS addresses found under Status/Device Info/Wan section on the routers web page.

Hey. I had a friend over the other day and he connected his laptop to my wify network so he could get some stuff. He only had wify b&g and could only get up to 2.5 mb/s. Is that the max speed for g devices?
And after he left my router wouldn't go up to it's max speed. My pc is connected via cable and should have reached ~9mb/s. Did the router do something to limit my speed or could the internet provider's server had done something? It returned to normal after a while but I don't think that's normal...
Ah and another thing. The laptop kept on getting the "!" sign on the wireless icon in the try area. It was connected to the network but not to the internet. Why is that?
Ty for your time in advance

Now dns filled but max speed on status/wireles the same 130mbps

[FurryNutz]

130Mps is that you should see on a 2.4Ghz Mixed G and N mode connection.

[caspeer]

any idea @ my prob? 

[FurryNutz]

I don't think this is a problem accept maybe that your PC hw doesn't support any higher connections while using this wireless mode. Attaining higher connection speeds means that your PC hardware must support the modes and frequencies that some routers have. Like to attain 300Mpbs connections on wireless, the router and PC hw must support single mode N, 5Ghz and Security of AES only.

It's possible that your attaining the 130Mbs connection speed based on the PC hw you currently have in which the router and pc are working as designed. When using Mixed mode G and N at 2.4 Ghz, this will be the maximum Speed you'll see.

You must understand that the connection speeds differ from actual file xsfer speeds in which you will not see the same speeds as the wireless signal and technology is effected in many ways that prohibit seeing the same xfer speeds as connections. At most, you should see upwards from 5Mbs-to maybe upwards 15Mbs file xfers depending on where your getting the xfers from, either on the same in house network or externally from a web site. Many factors here. Any other WiFi routers in the near by area? Any cordless house phones?

[caspeer]

Nope. None within my router's range.

[FurryNutz]

What is the highest connection speed supported by your PC hardware?
What wireless modes are supported?
Is there a make and model information of the wirless adapter in the PC?

[caspeer]

don't rly know that info since it was on a friends laptop. it was a acer spire laptop with wireless b&g. I can't understand why it would loose the connection to the internet but not to the network. does that usually happen via wireless ?

[FurryNutz]

If your loosing internet connection and not the internal network means there is a possible problem with the router on the WAN side or up stream from the router to the ISP modem or the ISP modem is losing the connection thus the router is working as designed and just not getting a connection however internal networking is fine.

I recommend setting WiFi to single mode G and test with out any WiFi security for a while and see how it goes. I would also test the Wired connection to see it it exhibits the same connection problems.

I recommend the following:
What HW version is your router?
What FW version is currently loaded?

What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
What ISP Modem do you have? Stand Alone or built in router?
What ISP Modem make and model do you have?

Ensure DNS IP addresses are being filled in under Setup/Internet/Manual?
Turn off QoS options.
Turn off Advanced DNS Services if you have this option.
Turn on DNS Relay under Setup/Networking.
Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices on the router.
Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
Set Firewall settings to Endpoint Independent for TCP and UDP.
