Slow internet speed behind cisco router

Installed a Cisco RV180, as gateway behind my fiber modem (DK ISP: WAOO) supplying a 30/30mbit connection. my network consist of a number of units. smartphones, PCs Macs, Linux. Since the RV180 was installed i have not had a descent browsing experience, and the connection speed shows around 10/7mbit. I have prior to this post, tried to change the setup from gateway to router, which just killed any connectivity that was left. changing MTU, disabling firewall settings, going static IPs on all units, disconnecting switches, and other things two. Nothing have worked out this issue. Finally i can tell, that the internet connection worked fine, moments before using my old Linksys WRV200, and when connecting this again. (this one crashes frequently so it have to go) oh and the VPN tunnels are perfect on the RV180. thanks for your support

    I have found a solution, the domain name under network(LAN) settings, must correspond to a work/HomeGroup on the network, it did instantly boosted my internet speed and browsing experience. Have yet to test it on all machines don't know if this helps outside the HomeGroup. i will update. Have to thank this post for helping me outhttps://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2...

    I can now verify that pc's/mac ect. do not have to be on the same homegroup as the router to get the benefit of the full internet speed. But have found out that the Domain name needs to be the exact same as the homegroup name on the home group setup pc. my homegroup is was set up on a english win8 pc - everything worked well.. I then set up the HomeGroup on a Danish Win7, which acts as my server. The english pc's just see this as Homegroup, though it is named Hjemmegruppe on the win7. About the Rv180! On the Rv180 i had to change the Domain Name to Hjemmegruppe, then i again i had the full internet speed. Funny stuff!

Greatings !
I put WORKGROUP within the domain name field of the Network tab.
Speedtest moved from 10Mb to 100Mb that is the maximum speed provided by my cableBox (Numericable).
Very good

Thanks a lot to Kasper Mikkelsen

  • Kasper Mikkelsen Feb 05, 2013

    Be aware that it might be nessasary to repeat the process after a system reboot, or a hard reboot. Mine lost the domain name settings a couple of times after reboot.

SOURCE: configure WRT300N wireless Router to connect internet using PPPoE

Often the nets and subnets are NOT the same.. ie The Fixed connection often uses 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.1, however sometimes the wifi is setup 10.1.1.1, or 10.0.0.1 etc, have you checked this? Esentially tho ya router is an "Acess Point" and ya Lappy etc is ya "Client" the links below has a lot of tutorials to help have a look. http://portforward.com/routers.htm http://portforward.com/guides.htm

SOURCE: Cisco VPN Client won't connect

You'll want to enable the VPN transparency. In the router's administrative web interface, click the Security Tab, then the VPN Passthrough sub-tab. Cisco VPN's usually use IPSEC, so enable the IPSEC Pass-through and click "Save Settings". If this doesn't work enable the PPTP Pass-through as well and give that a shot.

SOURCE: Router Connectivity

It will be one of two things or both - either your computer is not setup for DHCP or your router is using the same IP address as your ISP or both.

To check ISP IP address connect your computer to your modem then: from start => run => CMD (hit enter after this)
a command window opens, type "ipconfig /all" without the quotes.
The line with "IP address" gives you your ISP IP addr.
Compare this with what you get from your router manual if they are the same then do the following:

To configure your computer to use a DHCP IP address, go to the Control panel => network connections => Properties (right click on your default connection) => double click Internet protocol (From general tab) => (a new window pops up) from the general tab ensure that "obtain an IP address automatically" is selected.

To change the IP address of your router check your manual and do the following:
IP Addr => 10.10.1.1
Sub net mask => 255.255.0.0
Default gateway => IP address from your ISP
Make sure to the router is set to act as a DHCP server.

You should be up and running.

Can't install WRT400N cisco router need setup software or manual

Connect ISP modem to wireless router and then PC with cable. If that is fine you have a network. The easiest way now is to activate WPS on both devices. If this is not an option check web interface for network. Type 192.168.1.1 in web browser.

Really? Each "octet" must be a value between 0 and 255, inclusive. A value such as '777' is not valid

How do I connect cable modem to cisco 3560 switch and configure it?

The cable modem will need to go through a router because it needs a NAT and PAT translation table, connecting the cable modem direct would lose the ability to get to the internet.

Using WRTS4GS2 Cisco Router and could not access the internet. Remobed router and had instant access to the internet.

Contact your ISP. Some ISPs limit the number of computers that can simultaneously connect to your cable-modem. If you change computers, you have to tell your ISP.

Or, power-off your cable-modem, to "reset" it.
Connect the Cisco Router to the cable-modem.
Power-on your cable-modem.
Power-on your router.
Connect your computer to your router, and see if you get Internet access.

Connection is slow

the internet connection it's slow?
try to go to www.speedtest.net
run a test if it's a lot lower than the speed you're paying for make sure you dont have a splitter or filter between the modem and the jack.
if you dont replace the phonecable
powercycle to the modem.
if stills doesnt help connect the modem straight to the pc without the router.
if the speed its a lot faster its going to be a problem with the router, if the problem persist contacn you internet service provider.

My connect light on my Belkin F5D7230-4 periodically blinks from time to time (at the most important time I need the computer and phone) for about 1/2 - 1 hour is this the isp or is their somethinkg I can...

I would ask the isp to send me the latest modem, sometimes there is an incomapatability between the modem and router. Also I suggest to clients tha they only use linksys, now "cisco". after trying most others including Belkin I just found there were aways problems somewhware with them. Also you may need you settings optomised for better connection speed. Therre are speed tests. like pcpitstop.com, that offer free speed tests to make sure you are getting what you are paying for. Also a sight called DSL reports, that you can run several tests to determine speed throughput packet loss etc. try that first, good luck

Router cannot get IP with cisco 675 modem

Hi,

The issue may be due to the existence of two (2) DHCP servers; 1 in the Cisco 675 and the 2nd in the DLink DI-524. You need to disable the Cisco's DHCP server function and assign static IP add & config to the DLink WAN config. This way it will only be the DLink handing out IP adds to the network.

The workaround. Install your original configuration/setting without the DLink DI-524 - PC direct to the Cisco 675 (I am assuming through Ethernet ports). Verify that indeed you are connected to the Internet and can surf the net, check e-mails, etc. Check your Networking Connection Status. Log down your PC's IP Add, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, DNS. For purposes of discussion, let's call this "N1".

After your Internet connection has been verified with your PC directly connected to the Cisco, remove the direct connection and connect the DLink DI-524 in between the Cisco router and your PC.

Log in to the DLink and modify WAN parameters using the "N1" configurations/settings.

It might be of help to disable any security (WEP WPA, MAC etc) at least while configuring.

Hope this be of help/idea. Pls post back how things turned out or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.
