![]() ![]() 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. 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. You can log in to the router by using the username "admin" and the password of "admin" provided it hasn't been changed.I recently finished my basement and was trying to find the best solution to getting a solid internet connection down there. The Default IP to login to the admin area of the Medialink MWN-WAPR300N is 192.168.8.1. You're looking at 4 x 10/100 Mbps LAN (local area network) connection ports, with 1 x 10/100 Mbps WAN (wide area network) ports available. The power supply is a 9 V / 1 A power supply. It's powered by a Ralink RT3052 320 MHz processor, and contains 16 MB of ram. Security protocols offered by the Medialink MWN-WAPR300N are WEP ![]() The Wifi standards offered are IEEE 802.11b/g/n and they're offering connection speeds of 300 Mbps. They can help avoid interference, along with helping increase signal strength to devices within the usable range. Whilst antennas may assist in range, additional antennas tend to help more with ensuring devices can simultaneously connect to the router. Depending on the service, this could hide your location, encrypt your data, and better protect your devices against security threats. VPN support allows you to pass all of your internet traffic through a VPN service. The router comes in at a weight of 590 g and dimensions of 173 x 109 x 30 mm. The Medialink MWN-WAPR300N was launched in 2010 and is a N300 class router. ![]()
