Is proper DNS server IP's in place? Also are you using DHCP? more info would be helpful

[hanny562]

hi,the i've set the dns with proper ip.

erm...i'm using PPPoE.But i think it is not the problem of internet connection setting in router.

actually..when using lan, it is stablr and fast.but when switch to wireless by using my friend laptop.It can't even load any webpage.

while other friend's laptop can online.But it load very very slow.

What build are you using?

I just flashed the 06/30/10 build - 14684

I seem to be getting some good wireless with that one

Direct link to the newest build.

VPN or normal build loads just fine.

I suggest a Reset to Defaults when flashing!

Remember - if using Wireless-N - use WPA2-AES only!
Also - recommend setting NG-Mixed, not N-Only mode.

Can you ping the router?
I am on build 14684 and have similar problem.
Even though I got 3 bars out of 5 in Windows, the wireless connection isn't stable, I got quite a lot of ping loss between the wireless client and G300N.

[DoesItMatter]

You would need to do more testing.

All my WHR-G300N's have had external antennas placed on them.

They all get good signal and I do get N speeds using NG-Mixed.

If you set it to NG-Mixed and it drops to 54Mbps, see what stability is like.

If its running stable at that rate, your signal may be too weak to maintain N-speeds.

Move the devices closer and do N-only testing.

[johnckl]

Does NG-mixed mode means the G300N will choose the most 'suitable' rate?
Do you get 300Mbps with NG-mixed?
I am going to test its stability now, will tell you the results here

[DoesItMatter]

You CAN get up to 300mbps using NG-Mixed mode as long as no G clients are currently connected.

Realistically, you will never hit 300mbps, usually around 270mbps is max.

Wireless-N has a lot of overhead for both sending and receiving.

[johnckl]

I've tested NG-mixed and Mixed mode.
The ping time is shorter on NG-Mixed, but both has ping drops.

I don't have any wireless G clients, one of my clients runs 150Mbps N though. However, every time when I chose NG-mixed, the rate drop immediately to 54Mbps.
