Slow Wireless Router (Linksys WRT160N)
 
I need some help on this one. I just installed this router and am getting very slow speeds...I have the second fastest comcast internet. Loading pictures and videos is much slower than it was with my old router..a G router. Any suggestions?

First thing I would do is check that you have the latest firmware.

I'd go DD-WRT on that router.

My best suggestion would to be to go and get a Netgear. I'll probably get skewered for that, but the install issues with Cisco stuff has become really painful.
If you switched from another brand to the linksys, there's your problem. :tu

To clarify for Andy in case you're not familiar with DD-WRT. It's a Freeware firmware compatible with many routers.

Thanks guys...I am downloading the latest firmware right now! And thanks for the clarification Darrell...I had no clue what DD-WRT meant :tu

No worries, DD-WRT rocks IMO.

Play around with channels as well, sometimes that helps.

Will this migrate my MAC Address Filter list? How can I export it out of Linksys?

That stuff usually pushes all my buttons until I make it quit working. ;)

Ok i got the DDWRT installed but I could only connect locally. I followed all the directions and what not...any ideas?
