any router experts?

i need help with my router..it is bottlenecking my connection..and i dont want it too =[

how is it bottle necking ur connection? hwo areu connecting to ur router with a 10mb connection?

i dont have a 10mb connection...i technically only have a 6mb connection the router is slowing my up speed and raising my down speed

Normally your download speed is faster than the upload speed. If that's not the case, check to make sure you have QoS disabled on the router. Also, try seeing if there's a more current firmware for it.What router are you using now? If you use a Linksys wireless, you can try this third party firmware that I found works nicely.

Who's your ISP and what type of broadband connection do you have?

i do have linksys wrt54g and i know my upspeed is slow...but its supposed to be faster than 300k its supposed to be 1.5mb up and 6mb down thats what i pay for... i will check that firmware out


dward i have comcast...

its supposed to be 6000 down, 1200 up thats what im paying for...even connected into the modem im not getting that but they swear its not my modem...

Sorry, I work for one of the fastest ISP's in the country (check out EATEL on www.dslreports.com), and I have to put in my tech support .02 on this:
You're paying for rates UP TO the speed stated. Check the terms of service. You'll see "speeds up to xxxmbps". I guarantee that's what they'll say. If they don't, it's false advertising, and they can get in trouble for that. I have to tell out customers this all the time when they run a speed test and see 6500kbps, and they know they can get up to 7000kbps. It says it on the terms of service, it says it on the website, and it says it all over the advertising we do. You 're capable of getting speeds of [insert # here], but that is only a maximum capable speed. Actual speed will be lower.

/tech support lecture
It's my day off. No more tech support for me today.

i agree with cgreen38....

But with comcast idk anyone that doesn't get the advertised speed. Most do.
I did have a problem before cause i had a rented modem from them that was like 5 years old, I had a Motorola SB4101. It didnt' actualyl support that new powerboost feature comcast has. In fact it was so outdated that i had dropped signals alot and few months back i was dropped to about a 3mb connection. So i read up on it and i just went to my local comcast store and i swapped out my modem for free cause it was a rental, for a brand new motorola 5200 series. It works so much better, never have a droppes signal

heh...i don't know anyone who actually GETS the advertized speed with comcrap. they're just that - crap. their customer service is abysmal, and if you actually get service on a consistent basis you can consider yourself lucky.

Hey MovieStar,
I'm no expert but, try downloading TCP Optimizer 2.0.3 and move connection speed to 4000 kbps and reboot. Your speed should increase

yeah i know it is only UP TO 6mb but i dont want to pay for 6mb and get only up to 4mb know what i mean? if i dont break 4mb and im paying for 6 i might as well save my self the 20 bucks extra a month..

so then settle for the lower speeds.

no...because im not paying for low speeds

fuck this im getting FioS

excellent idea.

Chris is getting FiOS as soon as it's available in our area...my parents won't get it, though.

I would kill for FIOS, but I fear I won't see it for many years out here in the boondocks.

i was lucky its available where i live
