BrawnyDawg Posted January 9, 2005 Author CID Share Posted January 9, 2005 does cablenut work on dway 6000? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanBuren Posted January 9, 2005 CID Share Posted January 9, 2005 does cablenut work on dway 6000? Cablenut work for all types of connections, but there is no tweaks made for DW6000 so you need to edit those values by yourself. Alot of ppl does not recommend tweaking DW6000, and some ppl have done tweaks and say they work but im not sure if its just burst speed when you test speed make sure to use atleast 2992 KB test to make sure burst is not fooling you good luck VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinlay Posted January 9, 2005 CID Share Posted January 9, 2005 Im also on direcway this is what i get on my DW4000. The only tweak im using is the Tcp optmizer. I ger people asking me why i use a MTU of 1460? Ive used the MTU of 1500 and 1460. My connection is faster using the MTW 1460 i dont know why? This is my speed: 137 users online :::..

RTB Posted January 9, 2005 CID Share Posted January 9, 2005 Because your true MTU is 1460 and 1500 only makes it slower? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Reverend Posted January 9, 2005 CID Share Posted January 9, 2005 Hey There BrawnyDawg, I'm using a DW6000 with a .98m dish and Commercial Account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrawnyDawg Posted January 9, 2005 Author CID Share Posted January 9, 2005 So I did the Dr. TCp and here is the result. No real progress. What is MTU? and Where is it? I use Mozilla and have already done the LAN settings. My signal strength is around 53. :::..

The Reverend Posted January 9, 2005 CID Share Posted January 9, 2005 Well dang BrawnyDawg, I didn't realise that you were using Mozilla, so perhaps NONE of the info I gave you is of any use. I DO know that right now the web is going about as fast as it ever does, so you really should be getting another 200 than what you are unless you are in a city with ALOT of interference! By chance do you have an updated copy of IE6 installed (with SP2)? I have a feeling THAT very well may be where the "missing" 200Fbps has gone. I just took a speed test using the same criteria you did, and I'm running about 200 faster than you. I don't have Mozilla loaded as an alternate browser, so in the meantime I'll get a copy installed and mess with it to see if it just may be dragging you down (and to see if I can find a tweak to spark some life into it. Some folks get better results with the "light-weight" browsers, but for a DW6000, well - - it's designed from the ground up to work with Internet Explorer 6 with SP2 installed. It's worth a shot if you really want to research all the avenues of approach until everything is exhausted right? Cheers! *I'll keep this open (as always) so that I don't miss your next post.

BrawnyDawg Posted January 9, 2005 Author CID Share Posted January 9, 2005 This is my result using IE. A little better. However I found this on the copperheadpc website "Well, according to the manufacturer you should get up to 400Kbps. That's decent by most peoples standards. 400Kbps meets & even exceeds some dsl modem services. The new DirecWay Satellite Return System (SRS) also advertises speeds "Up to 400Kbps", but is capable of considerably more" So i guess I am getting a god speed...just wish I could tweak more! It is way better than my dial up was!!! I stopped using IE because of the pop ups. Even with the best popup stoppers I still would receives some. Mozila - NO popups ever............

Guest wmmc Posted January 9, 2005 CID Share Posted January 9, 2005 Not much in the way of tweaking the 6000, the 4000 has more tweaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Reverend Posted January 9, 2005 CID Share Posted January 9, 2005 Alright BrawnyDawg! If you have applied what few tweaks I supplied you with for IE6, then you are running "flat out" to the best of anyones knowledge right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
