I'm interested in hearing more about the testing. Did you use speedtest.net or something similar? How far apart were your tests run, 5, 10 30 mins? I didn't experience any issues, bit I'm wondering if something about the test(s) your ran is the cause.

I don't know; however, i owned this router for approximately 1 1/2 years. It worked great until one year, then, i had to reboot it constantly. Tech support was also not much help. I finally bought a new router. Apple Airport Extreme. No problems since. Obviously i don't recommend this router.

John, I couldn't get mine to connect so I called Samsung and was told that my router's security setting must be WPA2. My router couldn't do that so I replaced it. The new router worked well 1st time. The default password was 8 numbers but I later changed it to 10 characters. It worked both ways. Paul

Thanks for your reply. Now my decision is whether or not to give up the home phone or buy another router.

I am currently using T Mobiles service here in Oregon USA on my I9305 and works just like any other phone when placing or receiving calls or texting. Although when using data, all I have been getting is Edge speeds only. I can still manage to surf the Web or even use maps for directions when driving. My brother has the Samsung s3 from Verizon which does not have the latest updates that mine has. My I9305 seems to have updates that are yet not available on my brothers phone. Hope this helps.

Update....I connected the blueray player via ethernet cable to the router. I downloaded the newest firmware via cd-r on my computer and placed it in the player and Behold!!!! after going to menu and going to the network menu for updates, it well ,, updated...which took some 20 or so minutes. I then had to reintroduce the player to the samsung wireless Lan which the player accommodated. I am now up and running netflix, pandora, also utube and blockbuster were added to the configuration. Don't try to waste any more valuable time trying to figure out gateway ping and simply disconnect the Lan and hook the player via ethernet cable or you will never get anywhere.

I have been trying and trying to get the Linksys Router WRT54G to talk to my WET54G all night. The WET54G is hooked to the Samsung BD-P2550, but I can not get the internet connection. I tried different IP Address and I can not get it to work. Can someone please help?

NOT SURE, Robert . . . I was on Century Link with a Westell model and the 600N really 'blows-it-away', SIMPLY WITH A MUCH NOTICEABLE INCREASE IN SPEED. I use mine 'hard-wired' with my iMac and MagicJack using 2 of the 4 Ethernet ports. Now, "ASSUMING" that ATT and basically ALL 'PROVIDERS' use the products that 'win' their 'bid' at the LOWEST cost, (like NASA), I have to "ASSUME" it may be of the same, LOW PERFORMANCE as what I originally had. I used theirs for the FREE, one-year period, and got this IMMEDIATELY afterward. But, unlike NASA, selecting the LOW-BID / MEETING MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS products isn't gonna "KILL" anyone! I am glad / happy with my choice, NOT being a 'techie' or 'geek'. - Jay NOT SURE, Robert . . .

Hi, maybe i am not the right person for you to ask this question now, cause i am actually having problems now. It was working fine, but for some other reasons, i needed to re install everything from Factory, and now is not working properly. I go a Little bit far from the router, and the speed goes down town. Hope my answer is usefull. Cheers

I didn't have this item long enough to answer your question as it didnt want to connect to wifi more then 5 feet from my modem and still was very slow and wouldn't fully allow me to sSync to my Google account...... so I figured you get what you pay for and realized you really cant go cheap on electronics.... I returned it and was only refunded partial of payment as there is a restocking fee, I ended up getting a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 instead....by far worth every penny and SO Much to offer, I take it everywhere.

It is slightly slowly than high speed internet. I sent the device back because of the onerous terms of agreement that you had to give them a credit card to sign up for service. If I were you...look into the Karma device, it has no such agreement and is just as fast.

I got simple mobile ....i just set up my on it.It works so fast ,that phone has wifi .Everywhere i go my internet works accurately.

I stopped using it because the speed was no where near 50 mbps. It would drop down to about 2 mbps. didn't return it because the time and effort was not worth it. So sorry i did not use it long enough to see if it was hot.

In that case, the speed will be 2.0. All of the data will pass through the phone, which forces it to be the slower speed.

I also had problems with the BD 390 and the Dir 655 N series. Purchased the new router and could connect the 390 to the network, but could not download streaming video. Reinstalled my old DI 524 G series router and was able to stream from Netflix. Connection with the G series is quirky and sometimes it will not connect, but when it does it will stream in HD mode if available for the movie. I had hoped to improve this with the faster N series, but ended up returning the 655 router. I personally think LG has some firmware bugs that need to be worked out.

No. Get a different router though. Even with the latest patch this one still doesn't like to play nice more than 80% of the time.

I have found that making sure there is adequate wifi signal is important to using this device to stream video. For my home, I found it necessary to add a "range extender" to my wifi system . I have ocasionally experienced dropped signal since installing the extender but it is rare. Buffering has improved considerably.I have found that the recent update for the youtube app corrected a few issues including the full screen problem.I hope this helpsHarold
