Hello,

I just bought DIR-615 router to upgrade my home network. Before this is used DIR-300.

My problem is that my transfer speeds are really low.

I have the following configuration:
- One PC connected to DIR-615 with cable
- Dlink DNS-325 NAS connected to DIR-615 with cable
- Toshiba A300 laptop (with Intel WiFi adapter) connected via WiFi N
- DSL model connected to WAN port of DIR-615

I get the following speeds:

DNS->PC = 9MBps
PC->DNS = 11MBps

DNS->LAPTOP = 6MBps
LAPTOP->DNS = 4MBps

PC->LAPTOP = 6MBps
LAPTOP->PC = 4MBps

When i tested this laptop was located just 30cm from DIR-615.
All cables are dlink cables I got with their equipment.

So is there a way to increase these speeds?

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.

What wireless modes are you using?
Try single N?
What security mode Preferred is WPA-Personal. Auto TPIK and AES.

Also be aware that the router is processing connections while connected to the router, wired and wireless. If you really want to pick up speed, I would install and external router, this will separate unneccessary router processing from the devices and make it so that your devices connect with each other with out router interference. I recommend upgrading devices to Gb hardware and using Cat6 to achieve greater speeds.

Thanks for replay. I did all you said but it didn't help much

I would try a external switch in between the router and devices. I have one and its great. Again, your speeds or avg and normal for this router. Putting a switch will help and upgrading NICs to Gb cards where needed.

 

Keep us posted.
