I can't get my wireless to WAN speed above 25Mbps with this. Anyone else have that problem? Wireless-LAN is ~70, LAN-WAN is >50 (my connection)

I'm not happy with my purchase. This unit does not perform as I expected. My Linksys e1200 ($45) with dd-wrt performs better than this thing. I haven't had the time to call buffalo support to see what's up. I've tried every imaginable software configuration. I'm guessing my six year old laptop's wireless card doesn't match will with this "modern" router. Old tech trying to use the new stuff.

If your other devices are getting faster WAN speeds (e.g. to speedtest.net), it's likely your device, not the router. Your device's WiFi card may only support 802.11g, which would result in a practical maximum of ~25Mb/s.

In the same boat. I get wifi connection drops after about 2 weeks. Not sure what the issue is, it's something out of a early 2000 episode.

I am not networking guru. I had it for 1 week until I throwed it away. Mine was useless.In repeating mode it was loosing signal 10+ times a day. As main router worked better, but still had to reset almost daily.

Joanne I am sorry I cannot compare. I can say the one I have is not good but i have yet to determine if it is the router or my Internet speed. Sorry I can't be better assistance.

Update: This thread got me wired just now...Wireless is in the works. [ndiswrapper isn't so friendly to this one for some reason - perhaps I nabbed the wrong wireless driver..]http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7409939

****Update 3/18/2011*****Changed the settings as Tony suggested, and everything seems to be working fine now. Have not had to reset, and signal strength has improved. Will update again in the next few days. Thanks Tony!!******************************************************************************************************Nope, it's not just you. I have the same problems, and I'm going to try tony's config fixes to see if I can get mine to work any better.

Hi, I have a Linksys Ea6500 router and tried the Amped Wireless Access point that can delivery at AC speed. The AP seemed to lock up a lot. I then bought and tried the Amped Wireless Access Point that can delivery at N speed. It was more reliable with not the best range. I then bought another Linksys Ea6500. I set this up at a LAN to WAN. Extended my network with great range at half the cost. I did have two different SSIDs. I did try it at LAN to LAN. This allows one SSID. Not sure if this worked or I set it up correctly. Switched back to LAN to WAN.

I haven't experienced that specific issue myself. My area is much smaller so most of the time if I start getting slower signal I have to manually switch to the stronger network.

YES! I've reported this to Netgear support and all they want me to do is keep sending them proof of purchase information and what not, and not addressing the issue! I had a batch of routers come stock with firmware versions 1.2.0.16_40.0.66 & 1.2.0.32_40.0.74 and both give insanely poor wireless speed tests, barely over 1M. After I installed firmware version 1.2.0.28_40.0.72, then wireless speed tests matched wired tests. Hope this was helpful to anyone having the same issues!

I am getting this message and am using a Netgear g/n router. Wired is no problem. But I haven't been successful with the wireless yet.

I had same problem. Wired connection gave me D-60MBPS, U-12MBPS and wireless gave me D-1MBPS, U- 12MBPS.. the internet was very slow. I followed Van Nguyen's advice to change the setup "You need to log into the router and go to the Advanced tab then go to Setup and QoS Setup. Uncheck Enable WMM (Wi-Fi multimedia) settings and apply" and i started getting D-22MBPS, U-12MBPS.. thanks!! hope this helps to others.

WiFi 802.11n adapter did not work well for me. However, this did "Actiontec Ethernet to Coax Adapter Kit". Homeplug might be an option, but in my house they did not perform well enough because I have AFCI breakers which interfere with the homeplug devices. Prior to my circuit breaker upgrade, I was getting 50mbps over using PlasterNetworks (now out of business) homeplug devices. After the new circuit breakers, I was getting 3mbps.

This product did not work for me not sure your scenario but also look into access points and look into a better wireless router. I purchased a 20 router and it performed better than my older 75 one.

So far, I can't get the WiFi to connect on mine. I've done the firmware upgrade, but that didn't help. It sees the router with a strong signal, but won't connect when I enter the code. So, I'm using the cable for now, but if that's all that works, I should take this one back and get the one without WiFi that is $70 less.

I rarely use the wireless function of this device. It does seem to have rather poor connectivity via wireless LAN. Wired connections on the other hand have been nothing less than perfect for me. Ask your cable company to send you to level two support or equivalent. The techs there should be able to do more for you and possibly update firmware and send you recursive packet that should help stabilize your connection. Level one support will only try to schedule a technical visit or tell you that you are SOL.

Try getting very close to your router, like less than 2 feet away, sounds silly but this worked for me it seems this tablet wont pick up wifi at any distance even if it shows signal.

I have received the router and it is the v3 so I'd say they have exhausted all of the v2 stock that they had. Thanks for the input though. My problem now is that with two repeaters, my web speeds have really dropped. I am already preparing to return my router and buy a 24 port switch and start hard wiring the house. Another fun project...
