One question - Where do I find the info to educate myself and work towards getting the speeds this forum group is achieving? I have a DW7000 with a Linksys G router also. Sharonkt Welcome! My DW7000 most of the time will only give me about 800 down and 100 up. We each usually have a different transponder, some are crowded so speeds will be very different depending on the transponder. When I was doing beta testing with the same 7000 modem and dish I could get 2000 down and 600 up day and night. But that was uncapped and with a beta uncrowded transponder..

Top of your browser*Tools*Internet Options*Delete Files including Offline Content*OK*OK*test now. Post a speed test with this. Just click on the link below and paste your speed back in here again.. http://www.testmy.net/dl-2992 I hate to say this but that speed is horrible. I would try cleaning it up first. And then we will work on tweaking it. So read here and clean up the spyware etc... and get the comp it's routine clean up. A dirty comp cannot run fast. So do all of the stuff in this link, it will help. "Achieve the Best Performance Out of Your Computer" http://www.testmy.net/forum/t-4257 Then try TCP Optimizer. But not until the rest is done first. It might only mess up the speed if not done in order. Also what is your Signal strength. Should not matter, but with that speed I have to wonder. Now I run on a 500/50 Dway so I know you can run much faster than that. Now post the speed first and we will be able to see your progress, and go from there.

ghostmaster Posted November 5, 2006 CID Share Posted November 5, 2006 OMG that speed is horible. My first question is the most hated one of all. Are you aware of FAP? http://www.dslreports.com/faq/4496 If you are not being Fapped, I would first recommend that you try testing directly from the DW7000. Sometimes a bad router can cause these headaches. Are you running an antivirus such as Norton Internet Security? Or a firewall such as Zone Alarm? Many times these programs will choke your connection, esp NIS and ZA. Try disabling them before testing. Let us know what happens we're here to help!

You must connect thr PC directly to the modem to isolate and speed up the procedure for anyone to help, as said the router could be bad.

tommie gorman Posted November 6, 2006 CID Share Posted November 6, 2006 In my opinion sharonkt, unless you are at least running 700 kbps. you are definately not running right. No excuses. The minimum Dway allowes is 200 kbps. You may be the victim in a bad install. How long has it been installed I am wondering if you are properly grounded ? This is a new computer and at this point I have nor installed Zone Alarm or any other security programs. And for goodness sakes get some security on that computer. Might I suggest AVG Free and AVG anti-spyware 7.5. Both free and low on resources, meaning little drag on connection for slowing things down. Is there something else running in the background? Try clicking Ctrl + Alt + Delete to see what all is running in the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharonkt Posted November 6, 2006 CID Share Posted November 6, 2006 Tommie - I am downloading AVG as I type. The dish has been up for about a year. There has been a gradual reduction in speed, but I did not know enough to track the numbers, so I have no frame of reference over the year. I just got a new computer and was disappointed that the additional ram did not produce additional speed on my internet connection. I do not know how to find what Sat and transponder I am on. I looked on my control center page and did not find it there. Please tell me how to find this info and I will post with a speed test without the router connected. I am going to contact Hughes and see if I can get a tech out here for a check-up. Thanks All. Your help is GREATLY appreciated.

ghostmaster Posted November 7, 2006 CID Share Posted November 7, 2006 You also have to look at what time you are running the speed test. Peak hours are better and worse on different sats. Last night, I was hitting 150kbps during the worst part. Try a test in the morning, just so we can see if it's an all day thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fikester Posted November 7, 2006 CID Share Posted November 7, 2006 Last evening I noticed my speeds were also slowing into the 600/85 range.....as a rule up until the past few weeks my speeds where not slowing during peak hours? I'm sure this is a NOC related issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharonkt Posted November 7, 2006 CID Share Posted November 7, 2006 I spent several hours on the phone with tech support last night. They have taken the case to Lvl 4 and will call me back with results in 48 hours. I ran the speed test from the Hughes Customer Help page this at 4:00am this morning before work got speeds of 900+/40+. I did not have time to run the testmynet speed test, but will tomorrow and post the result. I will let you know what tech support came up with also.

tommie gorman Posted November 8, 2006 CID Share Posted November 8, 2006 Well if you got 900 @ 4:00 AM, then that is pretty good on Dways speed test site. Better than I have EVER done on it. Looks like you almost have it figured out. Best wishes sharonkt, *fingers crossed* But that U/L needs major improvement still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
