It might help using a high speed Ethernet cord, if you have one I would try seeing if there's som wrong with your router other than that I don't know because my router is up stairs.

Not possible with my router (WNR3500 which is 2.4Ghz) . Needs to be 5Ghz. I'm returning the bridge and getting the bundle which is two of them.

We are having the same problem with our wireless as well. Went from speeds of 14mbs to 1mbs. Wired fluctuates between 10-20mbs. Century Link will check the lines, but research is showing that an AP is suggested.

Two things; you can reset your modem and router a couple time to make sure you getting the right speed or you can check with your provider to make sure in your area you do get 40mbps. Remember your this router are capable of running up to 100 mbps.

I have Time Warner Cable Extreme (30 Mbps down / 5 Mbps up) and 3 TL-PA511 adapters (2 upstairs and 1 downstairs). The modem is downstairs in the office (OFFICE) by the first adapter. The second adapter is in the master bedroom (ROOM 1) and third in my brothers room (ROOM 2). I ran a few test to help answer your question. Test 1 (speakeasy.net) OFFICE: 33 Mbps / 5 Mbps ROOM 1: 16 Mbps / 5 Mbps (through powerline adapter) ROOM 2: 24 Mbps / 5 Mbps (through powerline adapter) Test 2 (speakeasy.net) OFFICE: 33 Mbps / 5 Mbps ROOM 1: 16 Mbps / 5 Mbps (through powerline adapter) ROOM 2: 25 Mbps / 5 Mbps (through powerline adapter) Test 3 (speakeasy.net) OFFICE: 33 Mbps / 5 Mbps ROOM 1: 17 Mbps / 5 Mbps (through powerline adapter) ROOM 2: 28 Mbps / 5 Mbps (through powerline adapter) Test 4 (speakeasy.net) OFFICE: 33 Mbps / 5 Mbps ROOM 1: 16 Mbps / 5 Mbps (through powerline adapter) ROOM 2: 20 Mbps / 5 Mbps (through powerline adapter) Test 5 (TWC Speed Test) OFFICE: 33 Mbps / 5 Mbps ROOM 1: 18 Mbps / 5 Mbps (through powerline adapter) ROOM 2: 28 Mbps / 5 Mbps (through powerline adapter) Test 6 (TWC Speed Test) OFFICE: 33 Mbps / 5 Mbps ROOM 1: 21 Mbps / 5 Mbps (through powerline adapter) ROOM 2: 23 Mbps / 5 Mbps (through powerline adapter) I also recorded a few rates reported by the TP-Link Utility. I was running the utility on my laptop in the office, so it reported the rates to ROOM 1 and ROOM 2. Recorded Rate #1 (TP-Link Utility) ROOM 1: 39 Mbps ROOM 2: 64 Mbps Recorded Rate #2 (TP-Link Utility) ROOM 1: 46 Mbps ROOM 2: 68 Mbps Recorded Rate #3 (TP-Link Utility) ROOM 1: 52 Mbps ROOM 2: 70 Mbps Recorded Rate #4 (TP-Link Utility) ROOM 1: 54 Mbps ROOM 2: 71 Mbps

Mine is 3 rooms away and works fine. I have a Belkin 802.11g router. Laptop reports 35Mbps

Being that this device can handle 300 mbps it's probably your isp that is the problem. If it cannot provide the broadband speed necessary for the devices using it it will naturally cause a hang up.

My wifi has no issues. I have my computer upstairs and a DSL modem downstairs through att( notorious for dropping wifi) however not one issue to date

That's an interesting question indeed...I have a 450 connection and with the devices connected through the extender the speed does fall albeit not down to 150 but there is a downgrade none the less - however for the connectivity it provides - I don't mind suffering a little less speed once I have internet access - for devices like my laptop that needs the speed I ensure it is closest to my home router so that I utilize that speed....its all a matter of preference

Hi, mine only reboot once and the speedtest.net report between 25 and 30Mbps, sometimes even more. Good luck with yours.

I am no longer using this, but I had 20 Mbps service on CenturyLink and would get 14-20 Mbps. I think that 20 was the max it would support. Be sure you update to the latest firmware. This router has a lot of features including some advanced port forwarding. I just needed more speed than I could get with POTS and went to cable. I had some problems and leased a modem from CenturyLink, but found that the problem was in the phone wiring. This Actiontec actually worked better than the new modem.

Is the box on a wired connection, because if not it is sharing WiFi with all the other devices in your home. This can cause the slower speeds.

In my case, where the router was downstairs and I was trying to connect with computers upstairs, I had better luck with this wired system than I had with wireless USB connectors. YMMV

I am getting 86 MBPS over mine at 1.7 miles away. targeting the unit dishes is essential, get the best connection you can by using the ez bridge software from both ends. :-) I have five of these and they all work flawlessly.

So your running 2 routers? using the 2nd as an extender? Have tried connecting direct to a computer and checked the speed?

Just by looking at network status in windows i'm getting 877Mb/s. I don't know how accurate windows is. The router is located about 10m away through 2 walls. I run 9 wireless devices from it, streaming movies to all these devices is not an issue which is why I purchased it. I also have the matching network card connected to my main server which gives me a 5Ghz pipeline.

I have a standard netgear wifi. If you think your wifi is not fast when you use your phone or laptop then don't get this one. Hope that's helped you
