Redwreck

Speed is great...generally around 6800-6900 kbps, occasionally up to 7400. The speed is not always consistent and sometimes really plummets, though for very short periods. I do not know if this is normal, or how much of a speed decrease should be expected during "peak" times. I'm not complaining, in any case.

I have standard RR, which has just been upgraded to 7000/384 in my area.

How are these signal levels, I'm sufficiently clueless... Downstream Channel The data shown in the table below provides information about the signal coming from the network to your cable modem. Downstream Status Operational Channel ID 0 Downstream Frequency 591000000 Hz Modulation 256QAM Bit Rate 7200768 bits/sec Power Level 0.8 dBmV Signal to Noise Ratio 34.9 dB Upstream Channel The data shown in the table below provides information about the signal being transmitted to the network from your cable modem.

Any advice on how to check my signal? Every time I try to connect to my modem's ip address, I get a "page cannot be displayed" error.

Pipelining should only be used on BB or other fast connections and is experimental, as it is not supported by many web servers/proxies.

Hi...and thanks for the welcome. I apologize if I didn't put enough info in my earlier post. I've read the "sticky" notes at the top of the board. I am running Windows XP Home Edition-SP2. My ISP is Road Runner...and I reside approx. 25 miles from the server. Advertised speeds are up to 5000 kbps down and 384 kbps up. Prior to any tweaks I was getting between 2500-2900 kbps down, and began to test different RWINs...resulting in the speed increase noted above. I have followed all instructions per the "sticky" notes and have installed CableNut 4.08 since my last post. I have, thus far, gotten the best speed by using Vanburens cablenut settings version 5....the CCS for WIN2k_XP_SP2/WinXP_2K_CABLE_DSL/MSS1460, Cable and DSL 5000 384. My speed was further improved and I've noticed no adverse effects of the settings, even though the tweak test at dsl reports recommends a lower RWIN. These are tests I've run with my current settings... :::..
