    Supposedly 500 Mbps is the link speed between the powerline adapters, they should have stated more clearly that the Ethernet link is only 100 Mbps.
    If you bought them recently, you can still probably return them!

    Its the theoretical maximum switching speed.

    Most manufacturers don't bother putting 1 gig interfaces onto them because the plugs will rarely scale past 100Mbps.

    So what exactly must I do to connect a router to this modem? I can't access bridge mode?

    Hi all, got the upgrade to 240mb and ubee EVW3226 but then discovered than my laptop is only 10/100 so maxing out at 40mb when connected by ethernet cable.

    Im wondering how i can upgrade my laptop.
    I use it in a different room to my modem/router so a usb ethernet port adapter wouldn't be ideal. My laptop (lenovo g510) doesn't have an expresscard slot so would something like this work or what are my options?

    Thanks
    in case anyone was in same scenario as me i got the TP Link Archer C9 and the TP Link T4U.
    Tested over wifi while sitting beside router both C9 and T4U set to dual band got me 243mbs:

    Recently got this router.I've noticed my WiFi stops working every couple of days and I have to reset the router.my computer says WiFi is connected but can't load up any pages.
    I've never had this issue on my previous Cisco.

    Login to modem and change the wifi channel to higher number like , 13etc and see if that helps.

    Yeah so I've upgraded to the 240Mb limitless Broadband and received this router yesterday. Set it up last night and was disappointed to only see speeds of 30mb down using a cable, and oddly 50Mb down using wireless. Uploads speeds remain at 22Mb using either cable or wifi.

    I've since read this thread and have seen the issue with the router and a cabled connection although on the phone to UPC earlier they reassured me that this issue had been resolved. Either way my laptop is 2 years old and I think the Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller may not be up to it ?

    UPC have scheduled a technician to call tomorrow as they think its a "cabling issue". I've used a couple of different network cables from the router/modem to the laptop, and I've also used a couple of different coax cables from the UPC box to the router/modem - all speedtest results remain the same.
    Unless it's the cable coming into the house ?

    I've tried a speed test on my Android phone too just to make sure it's not the wireless card in the laptop - getting around 50Mb down there too. I just seem to be throttled at that speed. UPC also say that my profile has been updated - although curiously when I log onto myupc - it still says that I'm on fiber power broadband 30Mb.

    This is more than likely an issue with this Ubee box, right ?

    Cheers for the replies.

    I've had a search for my network card online but can't get anything solid. It's a Ralink RT5390R 802.11bgn. It should surely be capable of more than 50Mb though ?

    As I've said, I've also tested my android and am getting only 50Mb download on that too - it really seems to be throttled at that speed.

    This video (tough not the greatest) shows how to check you're network card speed, if the dropdown (at 1min 19sec into video) only shows 10mbs and 100mbs you card doesn't have 1000mbs capability

    The archer c7 i ordered has been delivered today.
    Is setting the ubee in bridge mode a good idea,i know it kind of hands the control over the connection to the c7 but are there any advantages to this?
    I dont really game on line.

    I was fine for a month or so and now this started to happen. Any ideas?

    I have had the same problem for years and only recently have UPC admitted to a fault on the node in my area. I currently have 20Mbs download on a 240Mbs package. It averages at two to twenty Mbs on a daly basis

    However their loyalty department have given me half price for the next six months on a package that I was mis-sold. I was assured that it would be resolved within weeks a month ago.I also note the barrage of posts complaining about the exact same issues on the talk to UPC threads, it's an issue UPC cannot seem to fix given the hardware and firmware problems they will not admit to.

    By the way it's impossible to attain 240Mbs on two download streams I explained this to the UPC reps on the talk to UPC thread, hence my "loyalty rebate" ! Your upstream problem is indicative of a problem you are about to have. Congestion isn't the issue as such, it's how they resolve the problem of offloading the nodal addressing given the hardware/firmware they have decided to utilise.

    Hi all,

    I have a weird problem when forwarding ports in my new Ubee EVW3226.

    I have configured the port forwarding of ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS) to the internal static IP address 192.168.0.3, which correspond to a web server in my network. Router DHCP is configured to start in the IP address 192.168.0.51 so there is not any kind of IP conflict problem.

    When I am out of my network (for example at work) I can access to my web server introducing in the web browser my router external IP address. It works for both protocols HTTP and HTTPS. But when I am inside of my network I can not access to my web server. How is that possible?

    That is a problem because I am hosting a blog with a dynamic DNS that points to my external IP address and I can only access to it when I am out of my own network.

    Do you have any ideas of what is going on? Is there something missing in the router configuration?

    This is the first time that it happens to me. I had previously an Technicolor TC7200 configured in the same way and I had not any problem with it.

    Thanks in advance!

    So what you are saying that you can connect to your server using WanIP when outside your network but cannot connect your server when on your home network.

    I think UBEE has some sort of NAT firewall enable and is unable to bounce back the WanIP.
    The only way to use your server while at home is to use local ip 192.168.xxx

    I have the same problem btw.

    Almost a week in Bridge Mode and no problems to report , initial dropouts have not come back and seems stable .

    How did you get bridge mode to stick? When I enabled it after disabling wifi first it would reboot and just go back to normal mode, like it was pulling down the factory image again or doing some check and reverting it.

    Ok, it seems that bridge mode works as well as port-forwarding if you're not using DSLite / IPv6.
    While bridge mode option doesn't appear the hidden menu now works. UPC was nice enough to move me back to ipv4 and now everything is working.

    Hi guys,

    Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, wasn't able to find info by searching...

    Is there any way to get into the advanced routing settings for this router?

    Similar to this screenshot:

    If not - is it possible to flash DDWRT firmware on these routers? :)

    Thanks

    Can someone assist please? I cannot connect to internet. ( wifi or Lan)

    On my ubee: I have active connection, checked ping via router tools,all OK.( i can connect to 192.168.0.1 no prob)

    I can connect to my home server from outside which confirms that internet is working, but it wont let me communicate with outside world.

    I reset the modem a few times with no help. Im baffled. :confused::confused:

    Just received this router yesterday which replaced my EPC3925.

    Range was way, way better than the EPC3925 but I've already ran into some problems with it.

    Firstly, our speeds seems maxed out at 30Mpbs even with a wired connection, after ringing UPC about this we were told to wait 24 hours for it to "kick in". Even at the time, this felt like a total fob off. It's since been 24 hours and it's not one bit faster.

    Anyone experience this before?

    Secondly, reading around it seems bridge mode is causing problems? I was going to purchase a fancy new Archer router but if there is problems with bridge mode it'll be a waste of money.

    Oh and is it possible to have the 5ghz band on at the same time?

    When I check with test-ipv6.com, it says no ipv6 address detected, yet I can't permanently enable bridge mode - the modem keeps reverting back.

    Unfortunately, this modem supports either 2.4GHz or 5 GHz, but not both simultaneously.

    I might just buy the Archer router once they resolve our damn speed issue. Turned on bridge mode and hooked up our Belkin router. It worked, sort of.
    Dropped connection for a solid minute every 30 minutes or so which got irritating very fast. Not sure if its the fault of the Belkin router or the UPC one to be honest.

    I was having terrible low wifi recently(1.5MB-3.5MB) with the upc issued Ubee and i just remembered i had a belkin router. So earlier this evening i plugged it into the upc ubee and bingo all the wifi devices are suddenly reading between 40-70MB. All devices still logged into the upc wifi and not the belkin. No need to even put the password for devices into the belkin wifi signal. So i guess the belkin is mirroring the upc as a wifi router so it must have a much better wifi antenna.

    You are probably IP V6'd. Bridge mode has been reported to have those issues when ds-lite is enabled. Is there an option for port forwarding in your UBee? If not, then you gotta get on to the reps here and get an IP v4 address. Bridge mode should work fine then.

    I'm having this problem with the Technicolor tc7200 router in bridge mode. Drops connection for about a minute every so often.
    The router seems to work in normal mode so I have no recourse with Upc.
    Any ideas anyone?

    I'm changing my router with UPC(on 240mb + home phone), I am not using or planning to use bridge mode.

    Which device is best between the Technicolor TC7200 and the UBEE?

    The 2 PC's I'm using at home are Cat5E wired with 1gb cards(I understand the Ubee doesn't work well with older 100mb cards).

    My dad got one installed the other week on 120mb package. On both his PC and my sister laptop they are only getting 30mb-40mb via Ethernet.

    Strangely my sister can get approx 60mb over wifi?

    Called upc back and the engineer was getting full 120mb (as he did when installing it) on his computer and even he was confused as to why the other computers are so low?

    Now the PC is old and running windows 7 but the laptop is only a year old.

    Anyone got a theory on why engineer would be getting full speeds and more weirdly how my sister is getting better over wifi than Ethernet?

    There is a known problem with the Ubee EVW3226, if the laptop has a 10/100 ethernet connection then you will not get speeds above 30Mbs, UPC are well aware of the problem that has been ongoing for months now.

    see the following thread:

    http://www.boards.ie/ttfthread/2057372073/1

    According to UPC Brian the Ubee EVW3226 is no longer being supplied by UPC so surprised that your father was sent one.

    Hi there

    So I have the UPC horizon box and the wifi continually drops so UPC have sent out an EVW 3226 along with a splitter and additional Coax.

    So I connected up the splitter with one going to horizin box for UPC TV and other side of splitter to EVW 3226 for wifi. I logged into Horizon on 192.168.192.1 and disabled wifi.

    So then I then have wifi but its network is on 192.168.0.1 I still have 2xNAS connected into back of horizon box but the horizon box is on an IP of 192.168.192.1 (a different setup)

    Can anyone help me out with this setup, I basically want TV on horizon box and wifi on EVW 3226 and these two devices sit right beside each other.

    Should I use the splitter or should I run LAN from Horizon to EVW or what is the correct setup, having awful issues

    You can't use two modems on one account. Once you register the ubee it becomes your internet connection and the horizon becomes a tv only box, no networking.
