Hello All,

I have 50/25 Verizon FIOS with a Westell router. Connected to this router I have a Linksys D600 E2500 Wireless N Router connected to that. When I connect to the E2500 while its set to G mode, I get 20 - 25 Mbps download on Speedtest. If I set the wireless mode to N, I only get around 1-2 Mbps down and 10-12 Mbps up. This is with the latest drivers from the Asus support site. Any ideas why?

Thanks

Verizon supplies a Westell Wireless Router/modem. This device is not an N router. To resolve this, I purchased the E2500 and connected it to one of the LAN ports on the Westell so it now acts like a wireless access point. I turned the wifi off on the Westell. On the E2500 I changed the mode from N to G to test. On my wife's laptop, an Asus K55A, she can connect to the wifi on both N and G modes. This leads me to believe there is some issue with my machine.

what if you set your new router to serve N only?

That is when I only get the 1-2 Mbps. My wife's works fine.

ah sorry didn't read it properly; have you done this: device manager > atheros wifi's properties > power management > uncheck the option where it says allow the computer to turn off this device to save power or something like that?

also, check your power plan if the wireless adapter option has been set to maximum performance only.

That option is unchecked and it is on max performance.

are you on w7 or 8?

edit: if you're on w8, you can try updating your wifi driver to this. i'm using the same driver on w8:

Take the router out of 40 mhz only use 20 mhz and it will work use n only

Wireless N don't work very fast on the 2.4 network.

Then you will get 72
