 Posted: Wed, 9th Mar 2016 11:11 Post subject: External routers not reaching company's speed |
|
 |
I'll try to explain.
In my room there's the company's router, and there's 2 ethernet bridges that connects to the dining room's router and a room's router at the top floor from the house, linking 'em all togheter to my main router.
A week and some ago we had 100mbps DL and 10Mbps UL on all devices. Now, a week ago we had our speed updated to 300DL 30UL and seemed to work fine.
However, the company's technician came to install a TV Service and the bastard restarted the router from my room just to add the same services we had + the TV Service one.
Since then, my router had the 300DL 30UL as always, but the rest of the routers couldn't even reach 80DL BUT YES TO 30UL.
Both bridge routers are capable of 300Mbps,so the info said, and the top floor's router is pretty new. They're the D-LINK brand.
I tried grabbing the dining room's router and restart it's configuration so it was like brand new, reconfigured it, and placed it back in place. Ran a speed test on it and same, only reaches max 60-80DL BUT 30UL.
Is something wrong with these external routers?
Thanks in advance
EDIT: It's funny how an ASUS LAPTOP that we have here, connected via WiFi to the router that's fully working, isn't even getting past 50DL BUT HAS 30UL

And what do you suggest?. Brand and product model + link if possible.
Also, even with my Galaxy S7, that ASUS Laptop and everything i have to connect via WiFi (even a 1 meter of the good working router) gets the same average of 50DL and fully 30UL (again, Via WiFi). Funny is, my PC is connected via Ethernet with a Cat6 e5 whatever cable that works wonders (+300DL and 30UL)
In other words:
PC + Ethernet cable = 100%
Any device connected to WiFi = Nope full at all but WORST
Other people says the same thing with the same company router.. But the weird thing, AGAIN... Is that the router that goes 100% is connected to those bridges i've mentioned before, and before this upgrade of speed, both devices worked wonders!..

ASUS routers what? Why would you buy that stuff when you can get similiar routers for way less that don't say "ASUS" on them? That is just branding costing there.

AFAIK they make their own hardware / not rebrands. At the time of purchase the AC68U out-benched every other consumer product in terms of throughput on both wired and wireless connections (Which is really all I care about). That was 12-18 months ago so ya there may be better products available, just my 2 cents.

It's not for business. It's, again, Home stuff.
Oh, and i forgot, the external router usages are mainly focus on ETHERNET (SmartTV, Phone Company's TV Service device, Multimedia HDD wich for some reason the router is not detected by it but YES if connected directly to the ethernet bridge), but also WiFi connections (iPad, etc)

Also i might need a Switch for cable compatibility between a Multimedia HDD (With Ethernet port) and the company's TV Device. To those that are from Europe, the Company's TV Device is called Movistar+
The MHDD (Located at the dining room) ,if i connect it to the router, does nothing.. HOWEVER, if i put it to the ETHERNET BRIDGE IT WORKS....WTF?!
EDIT: It seems like the top floor's issues has been solved somewhat.. The top floor's PC can only get 100mbps (Not like my 1GPS one) and the iMac Pro is connected via WiFi, 100/30 though.. They don't want the Ethernet cable coz of floor issues..
Good thing, without even knowing, that my ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING is 1GBPS GIGABIT 
So it all comes down to a possible need to use a SWITCH with IGMP SNOOPING for the TV Device, among making the Router and the Multimedia HDD to fucking work once and for all, among other devices...
Like this one http://www.pccomponentes.com/tp_link_tl_sg105_switch_5_puertos.html
The last thing would be,if the Switch part works, is to get a router to make the entire dining room go 300/30...

i can concurr with cisco hardware but stay away from linksys unless you find one that you can flash the cisco bios'es on since their software is a turd the chips are the same as in the cisco routers but it can take a while finding some unlocked ones T.T
Case: Nanoxia Deep Silence 6 (Black) | MB: Msi X99A Gaming 9 | CPU: i7 5960x

I was debating Cisco for home at the time I bought the Asus stuff, I opted against it just because it was more expensive especially if you want gigabit speeds. I wouldn't recommend it unless your running business out of home or have experience with and like the gear.
Cheap Switches: i'd probably go with Netgear ProSafe series, I've used some of the JG series without issue's for small businesses
Cheap Routers: yep probably going to stick with Asus, I've just had all those other brands either fail completely or occasionally require power-cycling for no reason. (netgear, dlink, tplink, belkin, linksys).
Oh Draytek are also pretty reliable: http://www.draytekusa.com/products, only had a few PSU's die on their cheaper models that were easily replaced. Had about 2 dozen of the Vigor series installed at various client sites and never had any problems over the few years I managed them.

But why would you pay premium for a brand when you can get equilevants that work just aswell for less?
Only thing that costs on that router is the brand.

@Stige do you want to reference some products, personal experience or benchmarks of equivalent gear? or you just decide for no reason to dislike/like product.

Ebay is filled with AC1900 routers starting at slightly over 100€ where as that ASUS thing is 170-180€+.
Heck I use Huawei E5186 myself without any issues, maxes out my 150/50 connection over WIFI fine.
Then I have a Zyxel WAP5805 attached to it and next to my second PC to connect that to it.

I've received my TP-LINK ST-105 Switch and now everything works! =D
However, the TV Decodificator and Smart TV seems to be limited to 10/100 MBPS (YEllow blinking lights at the Switch), while the rest (Multimedia HDD and the D-Link Router) are green light'd (100/1000MBPS). TV Decodificator is not freezing anymore and shows no random freezes+pixels distortions whatsoever
Maybe the devices with yellow lights are speed limited to 100MBPS?..
Only doubt left is the Router for high speed WiFi... But that's something optional, but maybe helpful in the end..
Thanks everyone for the help. If i ever need help with the router i'll let you guys know!
