Problem for D-Link DI 514 Wireless Router (DI-514)

Dlink Di-514 slow

By kevinj on Oct 23, 2007

" "

If I connect my DSL cable directly into my Dell E310 Windows XP computer I get the advertised rates of over 1.5 Mbps download. But when I connect the DSL cable into my router and the router to my PC via an Ethernet cable and port, I get significantly slower speeds. I believe I have the latest firmware. I have also cleared the network cache via Network Connections -> LAN->Properties-> TCP/IP-> Repair.

What else could I do? I feed my ISP is making changes to their software or configuration without informing the users.

- Gunja,

MTU was set to 1492 previously. I changed nothing except reconnected the cables and rebooted and the speed (as tested via speakeasy.net/speedtest) is above spec. Nevertheless I have had the speed degenerate for no particular reason several times in the last week. Maybe this is an issue to address with my ISP.

Thanks for your help.

- Turns out my problems were due to the ISP doing maintenance and making upgrades during the day. I should work for them - we only do maintenance after 10 pm.
