DIR-626L slow wireless transfer speed

(1/3) > >>

Yugo:
Hi I recently bought this router and I'm baffled with the wireless performance.

I thought I bought a wifi N300 capable router and I'm getting this:

What is the average speed I'm supposed to be getting to?? I was hopping at least to get closer to the 100mb while transfers from 10/100 to wireless go all the way up to 4MB which is maybe half a meg more than my old G router.

EDIT: The image couldn't be posted as image so there is the link, the devices connect through N but they show only at 65 Mbps

* What Hardware version is your router? Look at sticker under router.
* Link>What Firmware version is currently loaded? Found on the routers web page under status.
* What region are you located?

Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations

* What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
* What ISP Modem Mfr. and model # do you have?
* Is ISP Modem/Service using Dynamic or Static WAN IP addressing?
* What ISP Modem service link speeds UP and Down do you have?
* Check cable between Modem and Router, swap out to be sure. Link> Cat6 is recommended.
* Check ISP MTU requirements, Cable is usually 1500, DSL is around 1492 down to 1472. Call the ISP and ask. Link>Checking MTU Values

Wireless Configurations
Links>Wireless Installation Considerations and Managing Signal Congestion and Good Neighbour Policy

* Ensure the default (dlink) SSID name is changed. Can be anything and not something that's already in use by any neighboring WiFi routers. Under Setup/Wireless/Manual.
* What wireless modes are you using?
* 2.4Ghz Routers only: Try single mode G or N or mixed G and N?
* Channel Width set for Auto 20/40Mhz or try 20Mhz only.
* Try setting a manual Channel to a open or unused channel. 1, 6 or 11. 11 for single mode N if the channel is clear. 13 for EU regions.
* What security mode are you using? Preferred security is WPA-Personal. WPA2/AES Only. Some WiFi adapters don't support AES, so you might want to try TPIK only or Auto TPIK and AES.
* What wireless devices do you have connected?
* Any 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz cordless house phones or WiFi APs near by?
* Any other WiFi routers in the area? Link> Use InSSIDer to find out. How many?
* If you have any of these options, Try turning OFF or ON Short GI, WLAN Partition, Extra Wireless Protection and HT 20/40 Co-existence if you have it. Also testing with HT20/40Mhz Co-existence enabled will impact results as well. I prefer to use this option OFF. Recommended settings are default. Under Advanced/Advanced Wireless.

I've tried only N, only G, N+G, 20hz, 20/40, etc.

I'm from Chile, HW version A1, I even updated the firmware (From 1.0 to 1.03) since it said it improved wifi speeds. It has nothing to do in regards to ISP since I'm testing file transfer on a lan from ethernet at 100 mbps to wireless (Through cable it goes all the way up to 11MBps).

The fastest it went was to 5,5MBps.

FurryNutz:
Try setting single mode N, WPA2 AES only, manual channel 11, auto 20/40Mhz and HT 20/40Mhz Co-exhistence disabed.

Can you test file xfer speeds using a wired PC connected to the router with sharing enabled with a folder that has some files in the folder? Sizes ranging from 500Mb to 4Gb?

Be aware that actual xfer speeds will differ from connection rates.

What connection rates are you seeing on the router under Status/Wireless?

Yugo:
Ok so I think I'm repeating myself when you ask for questions I already answered.

Cabled transfers are at the 10-11MBps rate.
As seen in the picture linked in the first post the status is showing N connections at 65mbps.

After setting only N WPA2 AES (As I had it configured) but switching manual channel 11 and auto 20/40 only 20Mhz it goes all the way up to 72Mbps (From 65), for rated transfer speeds ranging from 4,8~5,8 MBps.

So it's not getting anywhere close to the N300 capabilities.

My question is, in real life tests and usage, what are the speeds delivered by this router??

EDIT: The notebook I'm trying with has AC Dual Band capabilities, so I'm pretty sure it's not it. Also I have it maybe 1mtr or 2mtr away and it shows 80% signal.
