Woot from bandwidth, I was just checking my modem signals today and saw my provisioned rate was now 15/1.... :::..

I had this same kinda of problem with my Inspiron XPS Gen 2 and Mediacom 10/1 service. I found what fixed mine was unintalling the QoS Packet Scheduler from windows, then running TCP Optimizer and setting up optimized settings for you ISP speed, then after loading those into the registry, run tcp optimizer again and go to advanced settings and click custom settings and under Type/Quality of Service, put 0 in Qos: NonBestEffortLimit, put 1 in Tos: DisableUserTOSSetting, and put 240 in ToS: DefaultTOSValue Apply and restart computer. That is what did it for me, also check you wireless cards properties under Windows Device manager and make sure that any power management is turned off or turned to max performance. Hope this helps you, let me know...

I am thinking it is some kind of QoS, but it only happens on my laptop and girl friends laptop(only two tested, desktop w/ WiFi card worked perfect). I will look into Dr. TCP and see what I can dig up.. Thanks again

tcp settings as far as tcp optimizer? If not please explain....Thanks Swimmer

K to update my progress...This is really annoying. I have tried on two routers the linksys and a Cisco 877W, Reinstalled windows with XP Home and Professional, with and without SP2 slipstreamed, Multiple drivers, still nothing faster than 2500kbps. The really funny thing is that I was downloading two files @ 250-280KBs, and tested my connection and got about 2000kbps, that comes to about 6000kbps roughly. Kinda puzzling isn't it...The only fix I have found is to install Windows Vista Beta 2, and use the drivers that come preinstalled, and bingo it is running full speed. I can get speeds to the max of my service. Very strange....Thanks for your guys thoughts...

just to add my internet is 10mb down 1mb up

I can download any size file, just not any faster than 2.5 mbits a sec. I am connected to router @ 54 mb with excellent signal. What it seems like it is to me is that my laptop is limiting the wireless adapter thinking it is trying to save power, but I have my power management set to Max Performance, so it is not the intel Power Saving Polling problem. When I connect to the router through cat5 I can download @ 9 mbits a sec. I am just trying to find out what my laptop chipset is throttling down...Please Help!!!

Hey, I am having problems with my linksys wrt54g ver.2 router and my Inspiron XPS Gen 2 laptop. I am trying to connect wirelessly with my internal Intel 2200BG card. The problem I am having is I cannot get my downloads over 2.5mb. I running the card with power savings to max performance and I have tried different driver versions and I have reformated 3-4 times already. The router is running DD-WRT v23 sp1 firmware. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

My down ranges from 9.5mb to 7.7mb usually, from different times of the day. My up is great! For the most part I am happy with my service. I am using a Motorola SBV-5220 VOIP and Cable modem, connected to a Linksys WRT54G v.2 running DD-WRT v23 SP1. :::.. testmy.net test results ..::: Download Connection is:: 8879 Kbps about 8.88 Mbps (tested with 12160 kB) Download Speed is:: 1084 kB/s Upload Connection is:: 986 Kbps about 0.99 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB) Upload Speed is:: 120 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net (Server 2) Test Time:: 2006/07/21 - 11:49am D-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-PDG3EAXIW U-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-ADTR5P2YS User Agent:: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4 [!]
