I do now have an OPEN NAT though so it corrected that issue. Xbox One sees about 60mbps down wired which is about a 50-60mbps loss. Downspeeds improved slightly with my laptop wired to the Medialink to 80mbps down, so there is still a 40mbps loss wired. On my Xfinity router the IP showing for the Medialink is 10.0.0.93 so I set a static IP through the Xfinity Modem for that. The login IP for the Medialink is 192.168.8.1 and I cannot get to the login screen anymore. For some reason after I disable the setting I cannot get back into the router config screen to login to it( I am attempting this wirelessly). I then went into my Medialink settings and DISABLED DHCP on the Medialink. I can connect to the Medialink Wirelessly and wired but speeds are the same (cut in half). I tried plugging the 50ft cable from the Xfinity Modem into the LAN port of the Medialink. The cable is good and I am seeing 120mbps down 11-12mbps up
I first tested the 50ft cable plugged directly into my laptop. I tried your suggestions and am making progress.
Medialink router not working Ps4#
I want to use the Medialink in the basement to handle my AVR, XBox1, PS4 WIRED and IF POSSIBLE connect to it wirelessly in case I bring my laptop or cell devices down there since wireless to the Xfinity unit (upstairs) has very poor signal to the basement. Smart TVs, smartphones, my desktop and laptop PCs. I read some articles about making the Medialink into a switch, I tried to do this but everytime I disabled the DHCP setting I was not able to log into the Medialink anymore.Īny help on getting this sorted out is greatly appreciated.Ĭlick to expand.I want to use the Xfinity Modem to handle all my wireless devices that are used upstrairs which include.

It gets open NAT and full speeds wired directly into the Cisco/Xfinity Modem.ĥ0ft CAT6 wired to the basement into the Medialink WAN port.ģ Devices connected to the Medialink LAN ports.

Is the Medialink just not capable of handling those speeds?Īlso I cannot get an open NAT now with Xbox one service connected to the Medialink with UPNP turned on or even if I force a manual IP and open ports manually. Its better but I know I can get closer to 100mbps. I now am getting around 60mbps wired tested off of the Medialink. The Xfinity modem is hardwired to the WAN port of the Medialink. So I had a Medialink WAPR300N router laying around. I have 3 devices down there on my media shelving and I wanted to keep everything wired. I moved some stuff around in the house and was able to run a 50ft Cat6 cable from the modem down to the basement. The POE cut my speeds down to only 30mbps wired directly to the same laptop.
When I built the basement I decided I was going to use a POE setup and try that due to the layout and getting wiring down into the basement, also the wireless signal from the Xfinity modem was very weak in the basement with the modem located upstairs. I usually hit on a speed test around 115-120mbps wired from my laptop to the Xfinity Modem.
I have Xfinity X1 service with their 105mbps speed. If you see any errant behavior or obvious Ethernet LED or indicator symptoms, Ethernet cables are cheap and readily available: obtain another fresh one and swap it in to see if it solves the problem.I recently finished my basement and was trying to find the best solution to getting a solid internet connection down there.
On other models, like the TP-Link Archer router I use as my main base station at home, the Ethernet lights are on the front panel: a solid green indicator indicates a connection, and it flickers to note active traffic. If a solid green, there’s an active link if it flickers or is unlit, there’s a poor connection or none at all. On the AirPort models in recent vintages, there’s a tiny LED embedded inside the port (see photo). Apple’s AirPort line and many modern routers incorporate some kind of LED or indicator symbol that’s directly tied to each Ethernet port. The issue did turn out to be a faulty in-wall Ethernet cable, but there’s a way you can try to diagnose this without swapping all your cables. In the reader’s case, their Time Capsule is connected to another router that serves the home, and its assigned network address would switch to a “self-assigned” address, one that a network adapter on a computer, mobile device, or base station will employ when it can’t obtain a legitimate network address. The AirPort Extreme Base Station, Time Capsule, and other Apple gateways may be discontinued, but they still shouldn’t show a green LED on the front if the Internet can’t be reached. The Ethernet jacks on an AirPort Extreme Base Station have green LED status lights next to them.
