CaptainSauce Posted April 16, 2006 CID Share Posted April 16, 2006 I moved to my grandparents and now im not connected straight to my modem anymore. Im using a Linksys Wireless G router with Speed booster... The router is on my grandmas computer and i have the network card. Back at home i was getting close to 200 Kbps a second download (when it was the westel moden right into my comp) and now im this... :::.. Download Stats ..::: Connection is:: 721 Kbps about 0.72 Mbps (tested with 386 kB) Download Speed is:: 88 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net (Server 1) Test Time:: 2006/04/15 - 1:30pm Bottom Line:: 13X faster than 56K 1MB Download in 11.64 sec Tested from a 386 kB file and took 4.39 seconds to complete Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) Diagnosis: May need help : running at only 14.05 % of your hosts average (verizon.net) Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-X5E6BLVOQ that really REALLY upsets me... am i to expect this or are there some things i can do to tweek// settings to change to boost that performance. Im not going to be very satisified with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommie gorman Posted April 17, 2006 CID Share Posted April 17, 2006 I am confused. You are getting 721Kbps and your were getting 200Kbps. And now your slower? Back at home i was getting close to 200 Kbps a second download (when it was the westel moden right into my comp) and now im this... Connection is:: 721 Kbps about 0.72 Mbps (tested with 386 kB) Download Speed is:: 88 kB/s I would assume that you meant the 88kB/s. Have you tried it without the router to see if the router is the problem? What are grandma's advertised speeds? Are you virus and spyware clean? Have you used a registry cleaner? Have you defragged lately? Have you tried to tweak it with cablenut? http://www.testmy.net/forum/t-1013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
