Internet speed through the router has become slow all of a sudden, both wired and wireless. Internet works fine directly from modem. What can I do?

Sounds like some other entity is accessing your router. If it is secure, then some other wireless device of yours is on it: netbook, tablet, video game, cell phone, internet TV box, or printer. It could be that one of these devices is tying up the router - slowing its operation while it pauses to wait for a response from the device. Try shutting off one of these devices at a time. If, after shutting off the device and you see no difference, reboot the router and try again. Then go on to the next device. Eventually all your devices will be disconnected. If you still see the same slowdown, I suggest you call Linksys tech support.

I have somewhat the same issue with Cox internet in Kansas. A modem restart will fix the problem for at least a day or two. I think it's a connectivity issue with the modem. I didn't answer your question at all, but at least your not the only one.

I would try getting a new router and perhaps a new modem, or, better yet, take it somewhere that has a different wireless set up to see if it works before changing anything. When I bought the radio I had a 5 yr old linksys 802.11b router running off an even older RCA cable modem. I had similar DNS problems and tried everything described above and then some (including bypassing the router and plugging it directly to the cable modem) . The radio never acquired an internet connection. Aluratek support tried to help (a little) and concluded the radio was faulty. So, I got a new one and returned the old one to Amazon (Amazon doesn't really exchange, but has a decent return policy and will credit a return against your purchase of a replacement.) The replacement radio didn't work in exactly the same way the first one didn't. work Coincidentally, at about the same time we were about to switch internet service from comcast to fios, so I decided to keep the radio a few days and try it with the new service, during which time I entertained myself by playing mp3s off a thumb drive. After the new internet service (including new modem/WAP) was installed I turned on the Aluratek and (presto) it immediately connected to to the internet and played as advertised, and I have not had a problem since. By the way, I have had a Roku internet tuner (the kind that needs to plug into a stereo or powered speakers, not the table radio) and it never had a problem with the old modem and wireless. The Roku does seem to buffer faster and doesn't cut out nearly as much now, though.

is your router or modem wireless? if it is use a usb wireless adapter. Ask another question if you still have more questions about this.

Do you lose internet connection when under heavy load (streaming movies, transferring files, etc?). On the old firmware version, I had problems with the router cutting out when the wireless connection was under heavy load and requiring a reboot. The newer firmware certainly helps, but sometimes it happens. I know it's the wireless flaking out because the wired ethernet ports work fine. Definitely try Kevin's suggestion first. Belkin has been pretty good technically when it comes to support. If the modem has internet connection, but the router doesn't, I would make sure the cable between the router and the modem is okay.

As the others suggested, first make sure the cables are good. Are you using the wifi dongle or are you connected via an Ethernet cable? I had problems using the dongle due to signal strength. I then connected directly to the modem, acquired an ip address via DHCP and it started working.

Could be a bandwidth problem. If N router is also adjustable to B or G, it may be in the B setting. Another thing to check is if you are getting a direct line of site signal or are you getting a bounced signal. With a bounced signal, the signal strength can show good, but data transfer will be pretty slow.Good Luck!!!

It might just be your connection, as I never have any issues with Wifi. Does the issue persist at all wifi locations, or just at home/work? If it's just at home, it could be your wireless router.

Well I have a linksys wireless router plugged into the modem. The modem does NOT send out a wireless signal it is just a cable internet modem so if you don't have a wireless router you won't be able to connect with the modem unless you plug an Ethernet cable into it.

I have no answer, not tech. savy. I only purchased the modem, nothing else, and my Netgear unit does work just fine.

Yep. Should be able to just plug in the Ethernet cable from the modem to the router and it should be good to go. Make sure you set it up after you get it online. This will save you time down the road if the router decides to activate the wireless dampener. From the first update: After installing this router, my download speed (wireless) went from 15mb/s to 0.5mb/s. After some googling, I found that this router ships with a setting that is enabled, which destroys download speed. After correcting this, download speed increased to 25mb/s. That's why there are so many refurbished units available for purchase. Anyway, do this: 1. Login to your router. If you've never done this, look for instructions that came with your router or do a google search to find the default username and password. 2. Find a page that has QoS settings. For the E1200, you need to click on "Applications & Gaming" and select the "QoS" sub-menu. 3. Disable WMM Support. 4. Click save.

i have had lots of issues with the router. i would sit outside with my iphone controlling my music via apple tv and the connection to the wifi would drop. i was sitting maybe 30 ft away. also the router need to be reset a lot. i would have to unplug and plug back in to get it to reset. The speed is fine. Not sure if you should buy this router, though i don't have any recommendations. i am connected to a Time Warner cable modem.

I found that the router was extremely glitch with Comcast. I replaced it with a simple e2500 which works flawlessly

Was your old modem a combination modem and wireless router? It sounds like you've already called your Internet provider to register your modem as the other person mentioned, and you've indicated that it does work when your computer is plugged in. This modem doesn't have wireless incorporated into it. For instance, with my setup, I have the same modem, AND a seperate wireless router attached to it. Without my wireless router connected to this Motorola modem, I would only be able to plug my computer in to the modem to be connected to the Internet. My Netgear wireless router that is connected to my Motorola modem enables me to have wireless access for my computer and all of my devices, like my Kindle and Android phone. I hope this helps and that I understood your question correctly. Take Care, Janice Brodowsky

My wireless router is so slow. I can't get thru a short You Tube video without it hanging and loading every 2 minutes. I have Comcast cable and a Belkin Router. I only paid $29.95 for the router, is that the reason if two of us are trying to use the wifi it will only work for one person. Would I have the same hang with the movies, tv is I used this wireless router? I am not tech savvy at all. Thanks

I am getting this message and am using a Netgear g/n router. Wired is no problem. But I haven't been successful with the wireless yet.

Same problem. I got a faster and better router and upgraded my mps from 20 to 50. Still drops a lot (Default gateway not found)... Bought a external USB wireless adapter and now it works perfectly. Well not perfectly, it is like a spare tire; quick fix but does not really solve problem. A computer this expensive shouldn't need an auxiliary part that sticks out the side.
