Dlink Di-514 slow

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.

Ran the setup wizard for the d link di 514 but still cant connect to internet

Do you have Internet connection before you installed the Dlink router? Do you have cable or DSL? If you have DSL make sure you have the username and password from your Internet service provider because you need to enter those information when you run the set up wizard. You need to connect your computer to the LAN port of the router. Turn off computer and router, turn on router first then turn on the computer. Run the set up wizard again.

I don't know how to connect my router. please help

If you have DSL or cable internet, disconnect the ethernet cable going from the DSL or cable internet modem to the computer. Disconnect the end of that cable that plugs into the modem. Connect an ethernet cable from your cable or DSL modem to the router where it says something like "modem", "internet", or "in". If the router is a wired router, connect the ethernet cable that is still attached to the computer to any open ethernet port on the router.
