It could be the cable your using . Theres two types of cable . Straight or crossover . Whilst from the modem to the pc its fine but put same cable from modem to router and it causes issues . I would eliminate the cable as a possible cause . Next step is try the router at another pc on a different connection . If you get the same low speed then the fault is in the router .]]> Fri, 12 Mar 2010 09:27:47 +0000 http://forums.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/forum_posts.asp?TID=8707&PID=37138#37138 D-Link Support : DIR-635 always needing to be rebooted http://forums.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/forum_posts.asp?TID=8706&PID=37137#37137 Author: Solutech

Does sound like somethings bogging it down . If the router is struggling with the connection though it works harder and that could well be why its slowing up . I would get the line checked by Virgin you never know .]]> Fri, 12 Mar 2010 09:22:48 +0000 http://forums.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/forum_posts.asp?TID=8706&PID=37137#37137 DrayTek Support : Virgin Cable Broadband and 2110n http://forums.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/forum_posts.asp?TID=8707&PID=37136#37136 Author: Rogerh

Maybe I didn't explain the position very well....

There is a long ethernet from the cable modem.

If I wire that directly to the PC, I get 'full speed'.
If I wire it indirectly via the 2110n (using ethernet for all interconnections - no wireless), I get 0.84Mbs.
It makes no difference if I use wireless or ethernet between the 2110n and the PC.

I can post my settings, if that will help...

But it's incredibly slow to login the router which is why I don't think it's at the ISP's end.]]> Fri, 12 Mar 2010 08:26:12 +0000 http://forums.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/forum_posts.asp?TID=8706&PID=37135#37135 Orange Wanadoo LIVEBOX : AOSS? http://forums.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/forum_posts.asp?TID=8702&PID=37134#37134 Author: Solutech

Wifi speeds will vary from wired due to things like interference but you should get full speed out of the wires . If you have set it up correctly then the only thing I can see being a problem is the cable between the router and the modem tbh .]]> Fri, 12 Mar 2010 08:24:24 +0000 http://forums.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/forum_posts.asp?TID=8707&PID=37133#37133 D-Link Support : DIR-635 always needing to be rebooted http://forums.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/forum_posts.asp?TID=8706&PID=37132#37132 Author: Solutech

Hmm your not finding this drop is happening at a certain time are you . Its not unusual for a connection to slow up when the isp hits peak hours about 6pm . I would also monitor your line stats see if they are bouncing around indicating a fault or showing up lots of errors .]]> Fri, 12 Mar 2010 08:20:16 +0000 http://forums.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/forum_posts.asp?TID=8706&PID=37132#37132 D-Link Support : DIR-635 always needing to be rebooted http://forums.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/forum_posts.asp?TID=8706&PID=37131#37131 Author: griffen

Yeah had to have it on the floor for a while and it was beginning to get quite dusty. I'll give it a go and see how I get on.

But....I do lots of photography work using online storage and I'm guessing here but I tend to find that when I've been using these services over the course of the day the overall performance of the router drops significantly. Could this be possible?

I have a 10Mb virgin broadband service. I used to wire my PC directly from the cable modem (SB 3100) and got a reasonable 6Mb download.

I then decided to add wireless and bought a shiny new 2110n.
Problem is that even after resetting to factory defaults, updating the firmware and putting in the least settings necessary to get broadband, I get only 0.84Mb download! It doesn't matter whether I connect to the Draytek wirelessly or by ethernet, I still only get 0.84Mb.

I have run out of ideas. When I revert back to ethernet straight from the cable modem, I get 6.0Mbs very consistently. I have emailed Draytek and, so far, nothing has worked.

Anyone out their with a good idea. I have tried setting the MTU to 1500 as suggested but it made no difference.
