| 769537 | 2009-04-29 11:28:00 | I have been searching through past threads trying to find an answer but can’t. I have three Broadband ADSL Modems here & have compared the download speeds of all of them. Dynalink RTA1335, Vodafone MT882, Linksys WAG200G I realise they are not top models. I used 4 common broadband speedtests & the results were pretty similar. So why would the Linksys be so much slower to download a video file. It is the only wireless one but I was using a cable, same as the others. It’s less than half the speed of the others. |

I don't want to go tossing it in the bin & buying a new one if I just have something set wrong. I will continue to look on the net for answers & also for later firmware. |

| 769540 | 2009-04-30 01:33:00 | Thanks. I have just checked the firmware & it is the latest version available to me. I don't have a router, just broadband modem. The configuration may not be standard. I bought it second hand. When I set it up, all I did once I entered the setup, was put in user & password. It went straight on line after that. I could try the reset button on the back. |

| 769541 | 2009-04-30 02:01:00 | I also notice that Linksys is much slower than others, even the Thomson speedtouch ( free from Teleocm) is much faster than Linksys. I always thought that Linkysis is one of the best in the industry. | bk T (215) | ||
| 769542 | 2009-04-30 05:18:00 | Just reset to default. Seems to be a little faster. Still slower than the Dynalink though. |
