Well my advertised speed is 512 kbps, but usually I get speeds ranging 1mbps.  This is because my cable in uncapped. However, when I use a router my speed decreases.

I have a linksys befsr41 router and I tried testing the speeds of a pc and a laptop hardwired to the router. Both gave speeds less than 1mbps, but when I directly wired the cable to my desktop, I got a speed of 1mbps +

Thanks in advance for anyone's help

Wahaha my speed in my desktop aren't constant. It returned to its slow speed again.

However when I tested my bandwidth in the laptop which was connected through a router, I got these results:

I am wondering why does my laptop and pc show a dramatic difference in speed? My laptop has no dl accelerators and it is connected with the interent through a linksys befsr41 router.

I cleared the cache, cookies and history in the laptop when I did this test. I also did the same when I tested my speed on the desktop.

Thanks dlewis23 for your help

Not much of a difference though, but I'd like to learn how you were able to make these settings? So that next time I would be able to make the settings by myself

Thanks for your advice cholla. I already got cablenut, but I don't know what settings to put. Last time I remember, I used this calculator from http://www.j79zlr.com/cablenutXP2k.php ,but I think it didn't help so could you, VanBuren or anyone help me make a personal setting for cablenut?

thanks in advance 

What is RWIN cause TPC analyzer gave me these results

RWIN seems to be set to a very small number. If you're on a broadband connection, consider using a larger value.

For optimum performance, consider changing RWIN to a multiple of MSS.

Other RWIN values that might work well with your current MTU/MSS:

511104 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 8 )

255552 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 4)

127776 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2)

63888 (MSS x 44)

Will changing these values make my connection faster? if yes how do I change them? should I use cablenut?

Thanks for posting dlewis23, uhm what does PPPoE do? and won't my speed be limited to 512 kbps when I move the slider to this speed in tcp optimizer?

I tried testing my speed again tonight and just as I expected it was faster compared to this afternoon

Is there a way to make my speed constant through out the day?

Hello I've been reading a lot of forums here for 2 years already; however, this is my first time to register and post a question.

Well my internet seems to get good speeds at night ranging from 900-1.3 Mbps, but usually it keeps on changing speeds whenever i test it. I've been testing my bandwidth with a lot of sites namely speakeasy.net, 2wire.com including my favorite  testmy.net however their speeds always vary. Usually during the day I get a slow speed.

My question is could anyone help me tweak my pc so that I could get a better speed. My advertised speed is 512Kbps, but as I said it reaches up to 1Mbps because my isp isn't capped. 

These are my specs

OS: Windows XP Professional

ISP: Mydestiny internet (Philippines)--- cable

Router: Linksys Befs41 v1

Here's my speed results:

I also posted results I got from TCP Analyzer:

SpeedGuide.net TCP/IP Analyzer

TCP properties for IP = 202.8.240.177 ()

Browser/OS = Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6

Notes: Read the Analyzer FAQ if the above is not your IP address.

TCP options string = 020405ac01010402

MTU = 1492

MTU is optimized for PPoE DSL broadband. If not, consider raising MTU to 1500 for optimal throughput.

MSS = 1452

MSS is optimized for PPPoE DSL broadband. If not, consider raising your MTU value.

Default TCP Receive Window (RWIN) = 11680

RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits

Unscaled TCP Receive Window = 11680

RWIN seems to be set to a very small number. If you're on a broadband connection, consider using a larger value.

For optimum performance, consider changing RWIN to a multiple of MSS.

Other RWIN values that might work well with your current MTU/MSS:

511104 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 8 )

255552 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 4)

127776 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2)

63888 (MSS x 44)

bandwidth * delay product (Note this is not a speed test):

Your TCP Window limits you to: 467.2 Kbps (58.4 KBytes/s) @ 200ms

Your TCP Window limits you to: 186.88 Kbps (23.36 KBytes/s) @ 500ms

Consider increasing your RWIN value to optimize TCP/IP for broadband.

MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON

Time to live left = 55 hops

TTL value is ok.

Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF

Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON

IP type of service field (RFC1349) = 00000000 (0)

Can anyone teach me what RWIN is and what configurations I need for cablenut?

I called my provider and they said I had good signals, but i doubt it because a few months a go I've been getting speeds of 1Mbps during the whole day.
