Guys,

I just recently purchased a Planex MZK-W04N 11n 300mbps Wireless Broadband Router.

Full specs are available here: http://www.planex.net/product/router/mzk-w04n.htm

I have a 3MBPS Broadband connection which has a PPOE login.

When not going through the router the connect is lightning fast for downloads, uploads, TVersity media streaming, online play on both PC and PS3 etc etc.

Currently when channeling through the router the speed is slow and sluggish. Download and Upload speeds are down, PS3 play is very laggy and media streaming is jerky or non responsive.

My PC is using wireless whilst my PS3 is using an ethernet cable through the router.

The only answer is that the router is not configured optimally to use the broadband line. I have tinkered with setting until I am blue in the face and must confess to not being too good with this side of things.

I have taken screenshots of the Planex config screens and they can be seen here. http://rapidshare.com/files/80012844/PlanexConfig.pdf

Can anyone help diagnose what changes I need to make to get the most from my router in terms of data speed (D/L & U/L) and eliminating the lag I am experiencing.

Or alternatively could you give me a basic config checklist to acheive optimal response from my router.

Your help is most appreciated.

Happy New Year To All At AfterDawn!!

Hi, looked at your settings, and see a couple things I'd change.
enable qos, and set bandwidth to the max allowed.
Enable turbo, and try these.

Not intimately familiar with your brand router, but have used linksys and us robotics, which I use now with one gig thruput using the pmcia adapter from usrobotics..
works nice. M$ wireless in windows is slower.
