Wireless Issue with N routers? So I built my desktop, installed the RC and was excited to start gaming on it, and everything worked perfectly while I was at home. I have a Rosewill RNX-EasyN1 and the router there was a Linksys WRT54GL. Now I am living with someone else and they have a WRT310N router, and my new setup can hardly load web pages. Speedtest has me at less than 1/12 of what every other computer hooked up to the wirless runs at for download, with upload at about 2/3 performance. The Rosewill USB works fine on my older computer running XP, so I'm left wondering what else could be the problem. Any help would be appreciated. | My System Specs |

OK Im going to start with the really simple things that im sure you have done. Did you reset back to its default settings. did you reboot the cable modrm and the router. Did you turn off ( or configure) IP-6. Are all pcs on the same homegroup.
Could you tell us a little more abt the configuration.
Thanks in advance

Ok, I had already checked everything you mentioned earlier except disabling IP6, and that made little/no change. I'm unsure exactly what information you would like to know about my configuration. I do know that the huge differences between this network and my old one are the use of Wireless-N and having a WPA2 security on this connection. If I remember right though, we tried it with security disabled and had no effect. For the record, I've disabled my firewall while testing too, so that should be a non-issue, and have reinstalled the drivers for the USB wireless as well.
Just let me know any other info you could use and I can either give it or ask the guy in charge of the network here for more info. Thanks again. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 RC CPU E5200 OCed to 3.75 Motherboard GA-EP45-UD3P Memory 2 GB PNY XLR8 DDR2 800 at 4-4-4-12 Graphics Card Sapphire Radeon HD4850 PSU Antec Earthwatt EA650 Case Antec 300 Cooling Xigmatek HDT-S1283 Hard Drives 500 GB Seagate 7200.12 |

just for troubleshooting purposes, have you tried using a wire direct to the router to see if the performance issues are the same with that too? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number home made OS Windows 7 7264x64(main), 7260x86(secendary), XP SP3 Triple Boot CPU Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 2.8Mhz Motherboard Intel G33 express chipset Memory 2GB DD2 667 Graphics Card Intel(R) 82G33 Graphics and Memory Controller Hub Sound Card Realtek Built into the G31 Monitor(s) Displays 19" Screen Resolution 1280x1024 Keyboard Genius Mouse Logitech Case Gigabyte SETTO Hard Drives 320GB SATA (Main), 160GB IDE (Backup) Internet Speed 1MB Download, 128k Upload |

Are the rest of the computers on the home network using N protocol? If not, the router may only be broadcasting only a b/g signal. If you configure it to broadcast a g/n signal it will increase your transmission rate and boost the signal some too.
If everyone is in N protocol, make sure the router is broadcasting N only also.
These have helped me in the past. However, everyones configurations are different. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Build by Nibiru2008 Computer Shop OS Windows 7 Professional X64 Build 7600.16385 (win7_rtm.090713-1255) CPU Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz 6MB L2 Cache Motherboard Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R F12 BIOS Memory Mushkin Enhanced Blackline PC8500 DDR2 6 GB (2x2GB & 2x1GB) Graphics Card XFX Radeon HD 5770 1 GB DDR5 Sound Card Onboard Realtek Azalia HD Audio Monitor(s) Displays ViewSonic VX2250wm 22" Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Screen Resolution 1920 X 1080p HD Keyboard KeyTronic Lifetime Series Model: LT Designer Black Full Size Mouse Logitech Wireless Trackman Wheel PSU Bgears B-Tarantula 550 watt with Pigtail Modular Cabling Case Lian Li PC-7F Black Anodized All Aluminum bottom PSU mount Cooling Xigmatek Nepartak S983 3-Pipe HDT CPU Cooler & 92mm PWM Fan Hard Drives OCZ Vertex 2 60GB SSD, Samsung F3 HD502HJ 500GB, Samsung F1 HD502IJ 500GB, Samsung HD102SJ 1TB, Western Digital WD500AAKS 500GB Internet Speed 30 Mbps Down 2 Mbps Up Turbo RoadRunner Other Info G DATA Internet Security |

Ok, so at the very slow speeds I managed to download the latest updates from MS, and lo and behold I'm up and running at about 1/3 to 1/2 of the full 3Mb speed for the connection (terrible, I know). In any case, this works well enough for me, so I'll settle. Thank you for your help guys, I appreciate it. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 RC CPU E5200 OCed to 3.75 Motherboard GA-EP45-UD3P Memory 2 GB PNY XLR8 DDR2 800 at 4-4-4-12 Graphics Card Sapphire Radeon HD4850 PSU Antec Earthwatt EA650 Case Antec 300 Cooling Xigmatek HDT-S1283 Hard Drives 500 GB Seagate 7200.12 Wireless Issue with N routers? problems?
