A reset helps some time. If it is used allot. But, you should first check the internet speed without the router. It may be that they change your speed. The site I use is http://speedtest.net/. After you determined that the internet is not at fault. Log into the router at 192.168.1.1 in your browser. At the Wireless settings (advance) there should be a setting for wireless speed. Note that the higher speeds are only for G and N band settings. But you should have a schedule downtime for the wireless net.

I got an answer that the speed is common. It wasn't that way until recently. So how do I change it back to what it was?

find the reset button on your modem,push it in with a pin for 30 seconds,then at 29 seconds unplug it,now hook it back up and reset the password to something that noone can figure out,check your speed again,if it is still slow,then you need to update your wireless card in your comp,if it is better,then someone else was using your internet,if they have access to the modem,they can steal your internet,if none of that works,get advanced system care 8 ultimate free and run that,it will clean up your comp,if you really like it,i have the code for a year for you

Slow internet speed when connected to router

So, If you have internet connection speed problem with your wireless try with the following steps,
1.)Reset the wireless router by using the power switch on it or by unplugging it and plugging it back in.
2.)Place the wireless router in an ideal location. The higher it is, the better, but don't put it near metal objects.
3.)Get as close as possible to the router with whatever device you're trying to connect.
4.)Keep the router and your connecting device away from other electronics. You should especially keep away from phones, fax machines and microwaves. etc.,
5.)Adjust the Wifi antenna if it has one.
6.)Change the router's channel, especially if other wireless routers are nearby.Following these steps would give you stable internet connection and also increased speed in connection. You can check your internet speed from www.ScanMySpeed.Com before and after following these steps.

Wireless internet connection drops frequently

Things That Affect Wireless Router Signals
1. Many wireless routers are using the same wireless channel. Many manufacturers choose channel 6 as the default. Change to another channel. 2. Analogue video senders used to send audio and video to other TVs in the home. 3. Microwave ovens emit interference in the 2.4GHz band. 4. Wireless speakers and console controllers can cause interference with the wireless router. 5. Bluetooth devices, newer Bluetooth devices can jump to different frequencies if there is a connection problem. 6. Power cables located near the wireless router can cause dropouts and speed reduction. 7. Fish tanks will cause massive Wi-Fi shadow on the other side of the tank from the wireless router. 8. Depending upon the location of large mirrors will reflect wireless signal away your computer. 9. Building materials will block wireless signals such as plasterboards with metal foil, reinforced concrete walls and floors. Also objects near the wireless router such as metal filing cabinets and other electrical appliances. 10. Blinking Christmas lights can reduce Wi-Fi performance by 25% when it is close to the wireless router.

Hi just a small question for my coursework why is microprocessor is used in the server?

It helps the speed. The faster the speed is the faster the internet. You have a 800 MHZ and 3 Meg you might only run 2 Megs speed. If you had a 1.6 gig you almost get 3 megs of speed, depanding on your location.

I cannot log into the router

There should be security mode wpa mixed. Try switching to the mix mode. This will broadcast both B and G. Like my laptop it will sometime connect at 48, and to me that is fast enough and it is keeping up with my lan connection on the Internet, which it is 3 meg.

Your laptop might be to far away from the router to connect at 54 thus a slower speed might be better for your laptop. Even in bigger towns, the top speed is over cable is 10 megs.

Ethernet speed changes from normal to zero

If you have high speed internet go to your ISP webpage and do a speed test. If You are paying for say like 10 MEGS and are only pulling 1.2 Megs. It probably is your modem. Your speed will slow down to approx 7.5 behind a router. Also Your ethernet cable might need replacing. might also might try resetting your router. disconnect all power even the cable comming in and reset everything. Hope that helps.

The Wireless Signal keeps dropping out.

make sure that there are no cordless or wireless devices near the router such as a cordless phone since that will interfere with the wireless signal and a cause for frequent disconnection.

otherwise, the device should be replaced already.
