Doriginal Posted August 14, 2006 CID Share Posted August 14, 2006 You guys really know your stuff. The settings you gave me blunted are holding up very Nicely. I get consistent speeds of 20+ all the time now. I just have one more question, When we tweaked all my settings, I was connected through a direct line from my modem to my PC. Now that the settings are correct, I need to hook back up my router. Normally I have two direct connections into my router for two PC's, and one wireless connection for my laptop. I have a Motorola surfboard modem, and a Linksys 2.4 GHz wireless broadband router. Now after I re hooked everything back up to the router, my speed has gone down a couple of Mbps. I know this is to be expected, but my question is, should I enter some new settings into cablenut to account for the router? Thanks Again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanBuren Posted August 14, 2006 CID Share Posted August 14, 2006 yes you can use the same settings with or without router. but, if you have a crappy router or using wireless, you want to minimize RWIN if you get inconsistent scores.

Blunted 2 Posted August 15, 2006 CID Share Posted August 15, 2006 i have seen a list of compatible routers for OOL boost and some routers cant get close to 30 mb at all no matter the settings so i'll look around and post it here so you can see if yours is compatible with the fast speeds. just give me some time to find it.

Doriginal Posted August 15, 2006 Author CID Share Posted August 15, 2006 Hey, As far as that chart goes, my router is listed to handle boost speeds. So thats good news, thanks for that FAQ u posted. I'm still curious if there are a few more tweaks I can do because I cant seem to get above 21mbps on this site no matter what time it is. On optonline I get consistently 25-26mbps all the time. But sites like these I get no more than 21. On sites like cnet I get 5326.4 Kbps for the bandwith test. And dslreports I get 3425 kbps. Now those last two are way off but why does my speed still seem to be capped? I asked optonline directly and they say there is no cap. Any more advice? Thanks All Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunted 2 Posted August 15, 2006 CID Share Posted August 15, 2006 that might be the most you can hit cause your node might have alot of users on it and its why some people are faster than others to some sites. just like me and one of my friends i can only get about 25 mb on dsl reports and my friend always hit 29 mb but on speakeasy he hits only about 20 mb while i hit about 30 mb.

Doriginal Posted August 16, 2006 Author CID Share Posted August 16, 2006 I get 8628 kbps DL and 1082 kbps UL. Dosent that seem way low? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunted 2 Posted August 16, 2006 CID Share Posted August 16, 2006 how many tests did you do cause it seems speakeasy is overloaded sometimes and i get a low 1 here and there also. here is another test i get good speeds to but this also has been overloaded lately so see how it is. http://myspeed.visualware.com/bandwidth/continuoustest.html it will test 5 times in a row automatically ftp://ftp1.optonline.net/ -- download the 512 mb test file and tell me what speed it is at around 1/2 way through it. http://www.optonline.net/Your_Computer -- type your name and password and pick speed center and tell me those results also.
