hi php, i had same problems for last couple of days. called dway support, they had me try different freqs. showed great improvement on second freq, so repointed dish, tweaked signal went from 72 to 91, acp ~70, passing w/o issue (originally called due to high, way too high, failed xmits (1900/6400) after many reboots, and valid software resets... well, when I go back to look at system status, after changing freq w/dway support on phone and performing acp and reregistering, it is back to original freq and signal is 82. (better than previous signal, yep), but not on final set freq. so another phone call, yada yada yada, and then 'please disconnect power from your modem", which I did. left it powered down for ~3 minutes and viola, now tranmit errors are 0/49301. oddly, i did power down last night, diconnected all cables, grounded to ensure static dissipation and no change in results.... idk, but me thinks there must have been sumthin up w/NOC however, i am no expert, just a person trying to understand....

yeah, erroneous posting now is 1098/23518 for ~4.6% error rate. will strive to be more accurate in future posting...

mine seems to be improving after last file upload...11448/224 ~2% maybe something improving at NOC. have had ~5 valid software resets with different files being listed each time, and //brighton/web... is the source file listed...not sure but I believe it is a NOC thang..

down to about 3.2% now, and have read at dslreports same kind of info... will check again in the morning as well but, seems speed is about normal again both UL/DL as long as I have access, its all good

Hi BirdFan, Glad to hear you isolated the problem. I have had many transmission failures today as well. The status said 'Received first heartbeat' and would not change states until.... Reregistered dish and all is working fine again. Don't know if they were making 'adjustments' at NOC or what, but system is 'all files up to date' and working fine now...oddly, the file name/date has not changed.

my pings are similar fikester pinging yahoo gives an average of 813ms for me

hi bryanb602 i have been experimenting with many different tweak settings, and there seems to be no effect, with all registers set to nothing, is the same or better than any tweak settings I have tried. as for upgrading your system to larger dish; did you purchase from a local 'dealer' or online? i purchased from local dealer and was able to upgrade systems for only the difference in price, did not have to purchase entire system again, but my dishes are all mounted on poles not one trimast mount (for house). This meant that only the dish had to be swapped out and the plan changed. I must emphasize that I have a great relationship with the dealer and have purchased many systems. perhaps you can negotiate?

your receive and acp numbers still good?

did you try forced ranging? http//192.168.0.1/fs/advanced/advanced.html left side menu, near bottom click and wait any change?

i had uploads as slow as 9kbps last night using testmy, but then tried mydirecway and speed was 'normal' 240~280kbps range. multiple attempts at testmy resulted in same ~6-11kbps, at mydirecway was always 240-280kbps range for what it is worth

if you mean to get a new 7000, it should not be a problem. my suggestion is to get to level2 and explain to them what you have done and the results, they should be able to get the replacement shipped asap. cleaned snow off of dish and :::..

spoke too soon, roofalanche covered dish and signal went to 30.... cleaned off now and signal @70 with heavy clouds... last week I had a similar 'tcp accelaration not operational' which disallowed me to get online (7000) system. called support (you know the story there...) then got level 2 "Alan" in FLA was excellent help. he did 'things' on his end and everything was operational after the obligatory 30 minutes on the phone... may be that a call is the next 'only' thing you can do?

hi Bird Fan, sounds like you are on to it. not terribly surprising to hear (again, have had 3 modems exhibit same behavior) but glad that you have the 6000 to fall back on. you are not returning it EVER are you? we have had snow overnight, and with 3

maybe 'upgrades' @ NOC r 4 real?

thanks M16, thats from .98/2W/IA8@1410Mhz running wireless to my laptop. pings are high 700 to 900's (usually, some 1400's too) beats the heck out of the dialup I was stuck on for the last couple of years...(again no offense Bird Fan) having access is way better than none ANY DAY

if you feel comfy doing it, move the dish (gently...) whilst monitoring the signal strength, and look for any significant changes. If there are changes, for the better of course, move it in that direction. you want to do this without loosening the bolts, just for simple testing. (dish will flex significantly without loose hardware) and will show significant corresponding changes to signal strength, IF bird is close to being aligned... hope that is helpful. will be available tomorrow if you want more useless input

doh... yeah right, forgot you said dialup. sorry again for the delay, dinner w/wifenkids... back to the movement questions; if there are any of the structural bolts, meaning bolts that are part of the dish/mounting structure, that are loose (or loosish) the dish will move easily, and don't forget your bird is flying at ~23,000 miles, so a 1 degree change here, can translate to missing your bird by ~600 miles or so. the 10 number is common for a signal strength when the dish is first pointed and has not really got a bird to lock onto, i have seen it multiple times and have then swept the dish right first, then left until I find a change in signal strength, once i see and increase, i then adjust the tilt (up and down) looking for a change in signal the entire time. once I have a change in signal (hopefully for the better), i sweep again (this time much less movement (maybe like peaking it) then move if required, and repeat tilt adjustment again. then, if signal is good ~60 or better, i do crosspol. sorry again for the delay back in a minute, one more reboot for tweaks testing....
