Title: DIR-601 small setup
Post by: Chippy on December 24, 2013, 08:57:39 AM

Hi, I have a small apt. My network is a desktop and a smartphone. Im currently getting 65Mbs on the wifi which seems to be good. My cable modem seems to transmit a lot more than when I have it connected to the desktop directly. Is the router too busy for a small network?

• What Hardware version is your router? Look at sticker under router.
• Link>What Firmware (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=47512.0) 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?
• What ISP Modem service link speeds UP and Down do you have?

Wired speeds will alway be faster than wireless speeds. Also refer to your wireless devices on what modes and speeds they run on. Not all devices support speeds faster than wired devices.
