DGND3300 Speed problems

[litmouse]

Hello - I bought a DGND3300 received it today and set it up just like the setup instructions told me to. I can connect to it both through direct connect and wireless but have a problem with the wireless.

When I connect direct and test my speed it does 2.86 download but when I connect wireless it won't even run the test it's that slow. (dial up flash backs) but when I go back to my old DLink dsl-2460b the wireless works with the same speed as my direct connect, so I know it has something to do with the netgear and a setting I'm missing. I have tried resetting it back to the default setting and leaving the network unsecured but that did not help either.

I am currently on AT&T dsl xtreme 3.0mbps.

I would greatly appreciate any help or suggestions.

Thanks!!

what is the wireless adapter you are using and wireless setting in the router

[litmouse]

I'm currently using the default settings in the router. as far as the adapter I'm assuming you mean the wifi card in my laptop - it's a wireless n card. But if I'm misunderstand please forgive me.

you need to login and check your wireless setting. assuming really don't do justice here... can't guess either..

Mode

Select the desired wireless mode. The options are:

Up to 270Mbps at 2.4GHz
Up to 270Mbps at 5GHz & 54Mbps at 2.4GHz
Up to 130Mbps at 2.4GHz
Up to 130Mbps at 5GHz & 54Mbps at 2.4GHz

try those either two

@litmouse,
AFAIK, using "security disabled" decreases performances of 802.11n network speed; try to use WAP2 (aka WAP/AES)...
Be aware that:
- with default settings, Up to 270Mbps at 5GHz & 54Mbps at 2.4GHz DGND3300 "send" 802.11n on 5GHz only while 802.11b/g are "send" on 2.4GHz;
- there are known limitations on 5GHz band performances and coverage.

See also this post where I've tried to highlight links between protocols and bands ...

In my home, I set:

Security WAP2
Up to 270Mbps at 2.4GHz
cts/rts threshold 2346
preamble mode short

Using WAP2 improved dramatically speed, while last 2 settings, copied from WRT54G set up, produced a gain of around 10% of coverage...

Thank you for the information I will certainly try that. At this point I will try anything to get out of "dial up mode" as I'm calling it.
