How is the internet speed supposed to be when connecting two SlingLink Turbo W1 in a house? Same as wired to the router?

We use four. HD for a DVR. TV, computer, and one which connects to our modem to the AC house current. Having checked our internet connection speeds with a wireless laptop vs the desk computer the downloads and uploads are comparable. The Sling connection "finds" the Inet faster.

I don't have a way of measuring, but the Slingbox streaming was much better when wired than when attached via a wireless network. Bottom line is it works great.

I did try unplugging the lamp that was using the same socket and this helped a little. It's still far below the speeds I was getting when I first bought them though. I also tried moving the extender to a different room (closer to my router where the 2nd unit is) but the speed stayed pretty much the same. Thanks for your suggestions.

I just picked up one of these today. I had no problems connecting to the wireless router (2WIRE) in another room. Good luck getting it to work.

I have Century link as my DSL provider with an actionteck wireless-ready gateway. Am using a Cisco wireless-n router making the whole house Wi-fi ready. But that sounds like a question to ask Warner cable. Cannot see why not though. Good luck.

The Dish technician installed my first SlingLink Turbo W1 and I installed the second one in another room for improved PC internet reception. So, to make sure I think I would call Dish technical support.

That may be a question the manufacturer should answer. I use this on my WD TV HD box so that I do not have to plug a cable from my router to the WD box. The wireless speed is a bit slower than a wired connection so I still use a wired connection in the living room. It is convenient to plug in the wireless Airlink and I can take it into another room or upstairs and use the WD box on another tv to use Netflix, YouTube, etc. I would suggest you check with your manufacturer for an answer or contact Airlink for help too. My personal guess would be that if you have a USB on your unit, then the Airlink should work but this is my opinion only. That may be a question the manufacturer should answer.

I am not an expert or anything but i'll tell you what I did. I made no adjustments just installed right out of the box and followed the exact instructions. I have 5ghz connections to their connections and the others regular. I have my router upstairs and on a 20mbps plan I get between 24-27 dload with 6-7 upload (speedtest.net) I did notice with either my galaxy s3 or wireless laptop (both 5ghz) I get faster speeds downstairs than in the same room as rhe router. Weird but true. My desktop gets about 26-28 wired. Make sure u don't haveany dead spots in the house that are causing slow speeds. In my house if I go from my family room to my living room like 20 feet away my speeds literally cuts in half. Dload the app for netgear (Wi-Fi analytics) and see which areas of your house give you what speeds. Like I mentioned in my review I had the asus rt-n66u dark knight and saw no improvement over this. Pretty much identical. Good luck and try the app in multiple spots of your residence.

I recently purchased this. Prior to doing so, I spoke with Time Warner Cable about its compatibility and they confirmed this was a compatible modem/router combo. All TWC networks operate at half duplex. The specs for this modem are listed at full duplex. As such, the purported 343Mbps is correct, but TWC networks will not be capable of that speed, regardless of service level.

Is the box on a wired connection, because if not it is sharing WiFi with all the other devices in your home. This can cause the slower speeds.

Something is not right there. On a wired 1Gbps connection with a single copy I would expect at least 400Mbps, with speeds over 700Mbps on faster switches (efficient internal packet forwarding). That is from testing when I first received the unit (tested with 4 x 5200 RPM Toshiba 160GB in RAID 5, prior to 4 x 7200 RPM Seagate 750GB in SHR I have had in it since then - but I haven't tried that on a fast switch, my home switch seems to max about 500Mbps). For comparison, I've seen speeds close to single line speed (~900Mbps) on a DS713+/DX513 combo. If you are on WiFi, I would run hardwired tests for comparison. Then start troubleshooting your WiFi.

I bought one for time warner cable in so cal. When I registered it w twc, my internet went from lightning fast to a slow crawl. I don't know if it was the device or intentional by twc, I assume twc slowed me intentionally.

I have TWC cable and internet and this works well in the house. I cable modem and 2 cable boxes. I placed this on the main line into the house splitting it out to 5 rooms, only two connections really in use though. It's been running like a champ for over 9 months now.

With TWC Turbo internet plan, I'm getting 20 Mbps download and 2 Mbps upload.

I am not sure. I have as a main modem (802.11n wireless). I only use the D-Link extender for the remote areas of my home on a Tablet. I do not notice any difference viewing movies for example, if that helps. 5ghz ? you are over my head sir.

Depends on the house wiring. I have 35-40 Mb/s but from adapter I'm getting about 7 MB/s

Greetings,I have not tested, however the makers appear to only utilize standards to inject power by design and simply passes data, see http://wifiqos.com/ . Hence you should get what speed can be supported by both end devices.

Hello, if I understand you, this is posible. In fact, I have my actual connection very similar to your description. Look, I have one wireless router as my internet source and this is at my living room, so because my room is so far from there I connect one tp-link(1) to this principal router through a ethernet cable and I connect the another Tp-link(2) at my room and in this point with another ethernet cable I connect another wirless router with the same internet signal, so that is magic, now I have internet covering all the place without drop signal. I hope it helps.
