very slow wireless

[Tomken]

have changed my power my power plan to see if that makes any difference.

am getting much better speeds now - curently on 9Mbps which is much better.

thanks again for all your assistance.

That's still less than half to what you are getting when wired.

I only use ADSL and because I'm close to the router because of my set up, wired and wireless speeds are almost identical.

Not sure if billion_fan may have any more suggestions as he'll be more familiar with the 7800N's settings for fibre than I am.

As you've only tweaked your laptop, is there any improvement with your mobile ?

Try using another channel try 11, and changing back to 40mhz, also make sure the security type is set WPA2 AES, also check the connection speed on network adapter it should state something like 144mbps.

another update :

my connection speeds are massively variable - sometimes 20Mbps and tonight around 1Mbps.
tonight, images were downloading extremely slowly if at all and i finally lost patience and switched back to the sky router that i was provided with. things seem to be much better i'm sad to say.

does anyone have any suggestions ? i'm beginning to lose patience. i love the flexibility of the 7800N but i can't figure out what the problem is with the wifi throughput.

would the 7800DXL be any better ?

thanks again as always.

Just wondering if the stats for the 7800N would help billion_fan.

If you could persevere with the 7800N until the speed drops and then Telnet into the router and copy & paste the output into your reply, but if the Sky router works fine....

As for the 7800DXL - that could turn out to be an expensive trial when a serviceable 7800N should do the job, but I'll leave billion_fan to comment on that.

thanks for the suggestion - will telnet shortly and post the results ...

hi there,

i have my 7800n up and running again - what command am i using when i'm telnetted to the router to get the info that's required ?

thanks

Telnet isn't enabled by default in Win 7, if that is what you are using and you haven't already enabled it.

To enable Telnet in Win 7 go into Programs and Features and click on Turn Windows features on or off then scroll down and check the box for Telnet Client - OK - and then you log into Telnet the same way as you would the 7800N except that you press Enter after admin and your password.

From Start type telnet 192.168.1.254 then press Enter.

Type admin - press Enter and then your password at the next prompt.

If you make a typo then you will have to start again with admin.

It's been a little while since I've entered the next command and I don't have my 7800N hooked up at the moment, but I think the command is adsl stats --info to display the stats and there is a space before the two dashes.

(Not yet senile but the memory can be problematic when I haven't done something for a while )

It will be the errors for the last 15 mins that you will be interested in when the speed has dropped through the floor.

You probably know how to do this, but right click in the text area and click on Select all to highlight the text then press Enter.

You can then copy that to Notepad and then copy & paste that into the Reply box.

hi there,

unfortunately, there are no errors in the telnet results, basically zeroes for all of the entries.

any ideas ?

thanks again !

Was that all of it as it should have given speeds as well as SNR and other values, but that must be the most perfect line anyone has ever seen with it being error free, unless that is how it displays for fibre.

I don't particularly want to hook my 7800N up just yet because of the performance that I'm getting with my ISP supplied router to compare my stats, but I don't think the Status should be showing as Idle.

No doubt billion_fan can have the engineers look at those stats because they certainly don't look right to me.

thanks for the feedback !
