Slow internet connection with TP Link router.

Hi, I have a TP Link router with a model TL-WR740N, which is supposed to provide 150 Mbps speed, but unfortunately I don't get this speed on my laptop. The wireless adapter is Broadcom 802.11n. I think there is some problem in the router settings, which gives me these slow results. I am using Windows 7. My download speed is limited to abot 1 MB per second and it should be about 4 MB per second.

SOURCE: i have a TP-LINK TL-WR940N

I have the same problem. Some people says that its because of interference from other neighbors' wireless signals or any other in the surrounding etc.You can go to Router Properties and change the CHANNEL to 6 or 11 and observe any changes.

Here's a GuessYa. Make sure you have the correct and exact DNS servers. If you screw them up, you'll be able to get cached pages, but new pages or functions will crash. It's a funny thing when you find it for the first time :-)

SOURCE: I am using two WAN

I'm a user 4 the same load balance product, your 2 ADSL lines must have difrent IP with difrent submask than the IP you assigned 4 TP Link-TL R480t+ (10.0.1.1 in Ur case), lets say 1st line connected to the Line through a Dlink router has an IP 192.168.1.1, this will be WAN1, its config will be as follows:
WAN Port: WAN1
WAN Connection type: Static IP
IP Address: 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Defult Gateway: 192.168.1.1
MTU Size : 1500
Pri DNS: (add the DNS here)
Sec DNS : (add the DNS here)

the second line shuld be the same way with difrent IP & difrent subnet (for example IP=192.168.2.2, Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0 - for the router connected to the 2nd line IP 192.168.2.1 which will be the defult gatteway for WAN2)
hope this answers your question

SOURCE: i am using tp link

If you are paying for a downlink speed of 384 Kbps you should be getting at lease around 300. First bypass your router - connect your cable/DSL ethernet line directly from the modem to your PC. Go to http://www.auditmypc.com/internet-speed-test.asp run the speed test and see what your download speed is.

If it's less than 300 call your service provider & ask them to check out your line. If they say that you are getting 300 Kbps or more, you have a problem with the ethernet card in your PC. Replace it.

Of course, if your speed is OK when you bypass the router, you have a router problem. Contact the manufacturer or replace it.

Why do I have limited access on new tp link router TL-WR1042ND?

You would usually get this message when you have a faulty or weak connection to your router or internet, try checking your internet, and move your router away from dead spots(meaning areas with mass amounts of electronics like computers and tv), and move the router higher.

TL-WR740N wireless router not working

I don't have the same router, but my router requires the reset button to be pressed and held for 20 seconds. Try that. Also, I have found the manual on-line. Try the link below:

TP-LINK TL-WR740N 150Mbps Wireless Lite N gives only 54 Mbps speed

Change the browser settings on your computer, so that when you open an web page no animations, graphics, video, sound or other multimedia content appears.

The multimedia features usually take up a lot of bandwidth space.


Turn off your media browser settings by selecting the control panel option on your computer and opening up the internet options.


When the internet options come up, left click the tab that says "advanced" and scroll down to multimedia. Deselect the multimedia options and save your changes.


Clear out unnecessary information in your Cache and Cookies within your browser. Cache and Cookies work to store information from the internet like passwords and log-ins.


However, they also take up a lot of bandwidth space. Click the tools tab in your browser, select "Clear Recent History" and then select which files you'd like to clear.

Press ENTER or CLEAR NOW an then save your settings


Visit sites like SpeedTest.net to test your bandwidth.
Speed Test provides a free broadband connection analysis that test a user's internet speed against other servers.


Click the Begin Test icon and notate the bandwidth speed test results.

Most often when you sign a internet contract you are guaranteed a certain speed that your computer will operate at.


The results presented are a user's download and upload bandwidth speeds. These results allow you to measure how fast your computer is downloading and uploading information.


Look at your internet contract with your service provider.
Compare the notated Speed Test results against what your bandwidth is supposed to be according to your contract.


If your modem is operating under speed, contact your service provider and have the representative reset the bandwidth or make a request to upgrade to a faster modem.



Hard wired ethernet is much faster than wireless

When your ISP offers you a 1Mb connection, its megaBits not MegaBytes.

So for a rough guide of how MUCH you can download, divide by eight. i.e. 1Mb speed = 128KB of data.

So its normal for you to get 1.0-1.10 mbps download speed for the 10MBps connection that

you have


http://download.cnet.com/getgo-download-manager/3000-2071_4-10277023.html

Download all of your favorite videos, programs, games, and music with acceleration.


http://download.cnet.com/cnet-bandwidth-meter/3000-12565_4-10728035.html

The CNET Bandwidth Meter tests the speed of your Internet connection against top DSL Cable modem, and other broadband services.

To check your bandwidth, simply click on the download link.

I just brought a Tp-link TD-w896ON but the internet speed 1.67 mbps ??

The line speed is controlled by your internet service provider, not by your router. If you have something like AT&T as your internet service provider, then they sell 3 or 4 different line speeds or packages. The cheapest will get you the slowest line speed. So if you have a 300mbps router but you purchased AT&T's cheapest line speed it will never allow you to do downloads, uploads or streams at 300mbps. You gotta Pay to Play. :)
