Slow internet connection

[roque69]

Hello.

I have the WL-500g with IP 192.168.1.1 with a Zoom 5551x4 ADSL modem/router connected to the WAN port with IP 192.168.1.250 but the internet connection is very slow. For example, the machine where I'me writing now as IP 192.168.1.2 and the default gateway is 192.168.1.250 but everytime I try to surf the web, most of the pages don't open correctly, I miss images and other things!

For example, a trace for www.google.com gives the following:

The first line on the trace says that the request as exceded the time.

My route table is as follows:

What could be the problem? What must I do in order to have a better Internet access?

I believe that this is something with the route but I don't understand that much from networks!

Thanks,

you may try changing your default gateway on your workstation to 192.168.1.1. If you use DHCP on your router you may need to enter the default gateway in the IP / DHCP DNSserver config.

in addition you should probably tell your router that 192.168.1.250 is the default gateway for the WAN connection.

Perhaps your modem also has DHCP enabled, and this may in your case cause some problems. Perhaps it's best to disable DHCP on your modem, enable it on your router and enter the WAN IP setting manually in the router IP / WAN config.

If this does not work perhaps changing your routers subnet to something else (like 192.168.100.x) may help; a detailed howto is here: http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=680&highlight=router+mode+subnet, although i think there is no need to enter your modem's IP adress in the IPconfig / DHCP / DNSserver field of your router as is stated in this link

the timed out connection is probably your workstation trying to find your default gateway (192.168.1.250)

Hi.

The problem was on the modem/router where DHCP was activated! I've disabled DHCP on the modem and now it works fine.

The WL router doesn't have DHCP enabled as it's configured as access point.

Thanks,
Miguel
