SiraComputer Posted September 9, 2007 CID Share Posted September 9, 2007 If you changed your canopy setting with: does it give you a speed of 500-600 Kbps, just got it from a blog and shows her tests at a stable 500+Kbps up without merely tweaking with cablenut or tcp optimizer. the subscriber is a smartbro plan999 also.

fr0stbound Posted September 9, 2007 CID Share Posted September 9, 2007 it is unlikely to speed it up that way. maybe she was just lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiraComputer Posted September 9, 2007 CID Share Posted September 9, 2007 she was saying.... she was in the center of multiple base stations does it have an effect? Jeeez maybe I should relocate to a place with multiple base stations too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fr0stbound Posted September 9, 2007 CID Share Posted September 9, 2007 i think being near multiple stations won't work either, since you connect to only one access point(AP). also, getting a better isp will be cheaper and more effective than relocating.

SiraComputer Posted September 9, 2007 CID Share Posted September 9, 2007 @fr0stbound: well just wondering if multiple base stations affect! but then again its a matter of line of sight! I was also wondering does updating network drivers help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fr0stbound Posted September 9, 2007 CID Share Posted September 9, 2007 yes, line of sight is a big factor in stability. having the latest driver will ensure that your hardware will work better, so it is also helps in having a good connection.

Azgauth Posted September 9, 2007 CID Share Posted September 9, 2007 thanks for clarifying my insight on updating my network drivers! azgauth you should update yours too! Update? how? I tried almost every tweak available but i think none works for me, aside from those speed bugs, i never really got over 400kbps. just my usual 150-250kbps. Im still looking for the perfect tweak for my PC. any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiraComputer Posted September 9, 2007 CID Share Posted September 9, 2007 Updating Network Drivers 101: 1.) right-click the icon and open network connections 2.) choose your lan card and right-click and select properties 3.) on the generals tab click configure you can view your land card properties by now 4.) select driver tab and click update driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azgauth Posted September 9, 2007 CID Share Posted September 9, 2007 the statement says: The wizard could not find a better match for your hardware than the software you currently have installed... i think that means i already have the latest software installed but how come i still dont get those 400+ kbps speeds?

fr0stbound Posted September 9, 2007 CID Share Posted September 9, 2007 tweaking has endless possibilities. if your current tweaks don't work for you, try different settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiraComputer Posted September 9, 2007 CID Share Posted September 9, 2007 @Azgauth: Have you tried visiting the site of your network hardware manufacturer for latest driver updates? I had to manually download mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tagasipol Posted September 9, 2007 CID Share Posted September 9, 2007 sorry if i have posted this before on the wrong thread, i guess my querry's place rightfully belongs here... so, i was asking if gourame's setting for cablenut is in any way compatible with windows vista...that is something i forgot to consider upon tweaking some settings before. maybe, it is one reason i should have considered...anyway...sorry if this was asked and answered before...i just can't find the proper place to ask...gourame seemed to be inactive these past few days... thanks...by the way, i am using windows vista ultimate 32-bit edition. thanks.

tagasipol Posted September 9, 2007 CID Share Posted September 9, 2007 @azgauth, sorry for minding your post but you can get to your manufacturer's site by just searching google for the hardware name...well, for your case, google VIA Rhine Ethernet driver and if you're wondering what manufactured that hardware...hmmm obviously it is VIA...hope this helps...

fr0stbound Posted September 9, 2007 CID Share Posted September 9, 2007 yes, search for your lan card's manufacturer. @tagasipol, i think they will still work, since other members of this forum use cablenut with vista, only difference is the isp.

tagasipol Posted September 9, 2007 CID Share Posted September 9, 2007 but some posts i've read while browsing is concerned about the RWIN thing which up to now is alien to me...as today, i have not installed cablenut yet...i've just finished reformatting my pc and laptop. i've tried some tweaks before and i just ended up messing too much and for that, i guess, i will at the moment just leave my speed to that level. anyway, in all fairness to smart, what im getting is i assume just enough for what i've been paying for...asking for more is just too unethical though some increases would surely be appreciated...of course!

fr0stbound Posted September 9, 2007 CID Share Posted September 9, 2007 definition of rwin,from this site http://www.dslreports.com/faq/tweaks/5._RWIN RWIN (TCP Receive Window) is the amount of data that your computer can accept without acknowledging the sender. If the sender has not received acknowledgment for the first packet it sent, it will stop and wait. If this wait exceeds a certain limit, it may even retransmit. This is how TCP achieves reliable data transfer. Anyway, this start/stop action slows down the throughput considerably in some cases. Hence, RWIN should be large enough to sustain continuous data transfer. By default, this window is too small (8760 for Windows 95/98/98SE/NT and 17520 for Windows ME/2000/XP) for many types of DSL and Cable (Broadband). Raising RWIN creates a larger window, which allows more information to come through non-stop, up to a point. After this point, no difference will be noticed for the particular connection. For each user, this point can/will vary and is determined by (bandwidth * delay) product. Please note that there is no single value for all hosts on the Internet. You have to allocate some reasonable extra RWIN (say 20-25%) for variance from average latency note that smartbro's plan 999 has advertised speeds of 384Kbps. most members(me included) get way below that, sometimes to the extent that it is comparable to dial up connection. because of that, we turn to tweaking to compensate for smartbro's shortcomings.

Maverick_JV Posted September 11, 2007 CID Share Posted September 11, 2007 [glow=red,2,300]Guys, I have done every instruction in tweaking my SmartBro connection. My canopy is same as posted and yet i still only use around 10% of my ISP's max DL speed when i tested my speed. Will TCPOptimizer help me with this?[/glow] Thanks!
