Any luck yet Atlantis with this problem ? :confused:

Thinking what could cause a slow down in speed could be due to conflicts with firewall settings. Make sure that Windows XP Firewall is OFF and the Router Firewall is On.

nice one NEON, was actually in the middle of sortin out pics to show Atlantis my set up screen on the router.

Atlantis do u have it set as WAN or LAN/WIRELESS, the choice is on the same page as the ROUTER/GATEWAY option, again DHCP is et to automatic.

Have to say all of the above i do believe are set up by default afaik. you could also try a RELEASE/RENEW of ur ip.

Set it up, as advised, via 192.168.1.1 and cloned the NTL 250 black SACM MAC address, this after setting up very basic adjustments in settings.
Now the problems:
If I use the setup of SACM through the router, speed test on ADSL guide is saying I'm getting either 1 meg or even worse, half meg connection speeds, when I know I'm on the full 2 meg speeds from NTL.
If I disconnect the router, and use only the SACM, I get the full 2 meg back again.
Anyone have suggestions on how to set up this router to gain optimum speeds?
I bought the router to use on on the XBox 360 xbox live, as the existing cable entry point is in the front room with the PC with the SACM, and the tv and Xbox will live in the back room, hence the recommendation to get this exact router from the other CF member.
Did you reboot your cable modem?

Just to say thanks to Bucketbakereturn, NEONKNIGHT, and everyone who at least tried to help:tu:

I have to say, the unit was duff, Amazon replaced it, but 2nd unit duff too:(

So, long story cut short, Linksys off any future shopping list, instead, bought a Belkin wireless router, the F5D6231uk4, works like a dream right out of the box, full speed access to net, and going to use a the Belkin F5D7330uk Wireless Ethernet Bridge, again from Staples (where I bought the Belkin from) to connect up the XBox 360 when it comes out, this way, all connections under one roof so to speak from one maker.

So, thanks to everyone who tried to help, I'm now sorted:)

Glad you've got it sorted at last mate. Very surprised to see that both Linksys unit's you had were faulty - must be part of the same batch. Hope you got a full refund ? Overall Linksys are a very good brand but so to is Belkin :tu: Anyway, glad you're sorted. ;)

Re: Linksys WRT54G router speed probs
 
In Sept 2004, I bought a Linksys wrt54g Wireless-G 54mbps Broadband Router
  • I returned it as I couldn't get a reliable connection.
  • I returned the replacement, as I couldn't get a reliable connection.
  • I returned the 2nd replacement as I couldn't get a reliable connection.
  • Last month, I returned a Linksys WAP54g 54mbps Wireless Access Point, as I couldn't get a reliable connection.

Then I bought a Netgear WPN802-UK Rangemax Wireless Access Point 108MBPS, and it works perfectly.

I should mention that I also have a Linksys BEFSR81 Ethernet router that has worked perefectly from day one, but I'm not encouraged to buy a Linksys wireless device any more.

Regards,
Ian Tresman

have to agree with NEON on the linksys, oddly i find Belkin stuff twitchy in the same way people talk about Norton products but at the end of the day full net speed and a soon to be wireless 360 (should they deliver it before Xmas !!) is the result u needed - enjoy
