 Posted: Sat Aug 30, 2008 10:09 am Post subject: Kyocera KR2 possible speed reduction issue Help Please |
 |
|
I am new to this forum and have searched many posts to see if anyone has had a similar experience as mine. I have Kyocera KPC680 rev a express card. I have been using it directly hooked up to my PC via usb adapter. On speedtest.net I usually achieve download speed of about 750 kps on average and upload speeds of 650 kps on average. Sometimes I achieve way over these, but this is the average. Surfing, download, xbox live, works really well with this setup.
I recently purchased the KR2 (latest firmware is installed) so I could have all my game systems use wifi to hook up to the internet and got my KPC680 to connect just fine. However there seems to be a bottleneck when using the KR2. Surfing the internet via wi-fi from my macbook is painfully slow. Surfing the net from my desktop via ethernet to the KR2 is a lot faster but still not as fast as just having my KPC680 hooked up to desktop directly via usb. Xbox live for the most part seems to work just as well however (still testing xbox live via direct connect and the sharing via ethernet to 360, vs using wifi from kR2).
I ran speedtest.net from my macbook and while the download speed is about the same I can only achieve about a 128 kps upload speed. The same is true when I do this via my desktop pc connected via ethernet to KR2.
Due to the decreased browsing speeds and the fact I cannot achieve the same upload speeds using the KR2 I was wondering if there are some settings on the KR2 to reduce / eliminate this apparent bottleneck. If they are could anyone direct me in the right direction or tell me what I need to change to increase performance??
Sorry for the long post, but thought everyone would need all the above info. to help. I will great appreciate any advice as I will need to know if this bottleneck can be eliminated or not, because if not I need to return this router preferably by this tuesday so as to not exceed my return period.
Thanks in advance |

So you can't exceed speeds of 128kbps via WiFi OR ethernet? |

I cannot exceed speeds of 128kbps via WiFi or ethernet connection to the router. Also browsing speeds via WiFi on my Macbook (FireFox 3) is horrible. It is significantly better browsing via ethernet to router from my desktop pc using Firefox 2. However I have been using Firefox 3 on my macbook previously with no trouble and when I stay at the hotel it is blazingly fast.
My main issue is to get the browsing speeds on par with using modem attached to PC directly via USB. Also to make sure they are no bottle necks when using this router. |

Tried setting your KPC680 to only connect to the EVDO network? Sounds like a case of 1xRTT syndrome to me  |

No, I have not done that. How do you? But to be honest I do not think that it is connecting at 1x speeds. I get full signal bars in my house and my cell phone shows EVDO at all times. Plus whenever I do a speed test it is always fast except upload speeds.
I can browse the internet fairly fast from my desktop via ethernet connection to router, but browsing using wifi on my macbook is about like using dial-up.
Could it be some wifi settings I need to adjust to make it faster?
Does anyone know of a tutorial to get the best performance from the router? |
