Slow New Router

[DPI]

I just installed a new Asus RT-N12 router and it seemed to be working good with my laptops. However when I tried to download some files to my desktops via the lan connections, things are not so good.

The wireless download speeds I am getting were between 5-7 meg via speedtest.net. However the lan download speeds were at most 78kbps. I tested this with two different desktops in two different locations at the house. And plugged two different laptops directly into the router with a factory lan cable.

Does anyone have experience with this and can give me an idea of what I have out of whack?

Have you tried a different cable?

Yep, three different cables were used...

Might check the speed and duplex on both ends (system and device) to make sure you have a match and that they're set properly.

I tried all the available settings on my laptop with only a reduction in performance. I can not access the router due to my "Wireless ISP" setting the password when they setup of the router. Anyone no a way to bypass the password on it?

Do the laptops slow down when you plug into the wired side?

What is the link speed on the desktops when they are plugged in?

Did you try bypassing the router all together? What are your speeds like straight off the modem?

Also check to see if your router has QoS turned on.
