Tornaattori Report post Posted June 17, 2010 So I just bought a Cisco Linksys WRT160N v3 router and it is just ripping me off my bandwidth. When I'm connected directly to my wall socket, I'm at ~95Mb/s, but when the router is plugged in, it sinks down to 2-6Mb/s Any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marzak Report post Posted June 18, 2010 See if there is any firmware updates. If that doesn't help, and I were you, I'd just give it back and ask for a working one... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salatrel Report post Posted June 18, 2010 i used to own a cisco linksys router (different model) and eventhough the lanspeeds were awesome the WAN connection was limited to 25mbit... that kinda sucked so i got a different router Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tornaattori Report post Posted June 18, 2010 You must be able to disable the cap somehow, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dendil Report post Posted June 20, 2010 You'd have to google the make/model and see if you could find it in the technical manual, but I don't recollect them documenting such limitations. Guess it depends on the manufacturer Ulti. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paintman Report post Posted June 21, 2010 same here using the zyxel P-334WT router. No lagg or discs but connection from 1800 kb/s to 400 kb/s.. updated firmware to latest version Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paintman Report post Posted June 27, 2010 I'm still nagging about the fucking bandwith loss. I tried almost everything, with fuckng aroudn settings or returning to factory default. It's both the wireless and cable. Haven't found any good google-guide to the awesomeness yet. Anyone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drexa Report post Posted June 28, 2010 If nothing helps you are either 90 years old and cannot tell the difference between a monitor and a computer, or.. the router is broken Since it caps so low even with cable plugged in i would say its shitty hardware and not a settings problem.. I dont have any real experience with the zyxel routers though, their dsl modems are stable enough but thats as far as my knowledge goes.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
