Chestnux Posted May 5, 2007 CID Share Posted May 5, 2007 For some time now, my computer is been having MASSIVE slow connections, on the other hand my other computer is having no problems and is running fine on the internet on blazing speed! I have Roadrunner for my ISP and the problem computer (the one im on now) is using a wireless G usb adapter and it receiving the wireless g router signals (All belkin). Right now im only two rooms away from the router and im having a 4 bar signal. The computer without the problems has the download speeds of this : :::.. Download Stats ..::: Download Connection is:: 4901 Kbps about 4.9 Mbps (tested with 5983 kB) Download Speed is:: 598 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (Server 1) Test Time:: 2007/04/28 - 2:14pm Bottom Line:: 85X faster than 56K 1MB Download in 1.71 sec Tested from a 5983 kB file and took 10 seconds to complete Download Diagnosis:: Looks Great : 4.43 % faster than the average for host (rr.com) D-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-EZ07BJIRW User Agent:: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727) [!] (Without cablenut or any tweaks) I have these speeds : :::..

I have changed the channels and everything on my router and gotten no good results, i have turned off all my security for the tests and this is DRIVING ME INSANE! Please help!

Nos7667 Posted May 5, 2007 CID Share Posted May 5, 2007 Is the non problem computer hard wired into the network? or is it wireless too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmer Posted May 5, 2007 CID Share Posted May 5, 2007 You are going to need to adjust the TCP windows... Microsoft makes them so small for wireless when they really could be much larger.. Check this out for starters. http://www.testmy.net/t-1013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nos7667 Posted May 5, 2007 CID Share Posted May 5, 2007 The computer without the problems is hard wired to the router. Do what swimmer said, And also check for possible interferences, I dont know much about wireless networks but I know interference is a bad thing, Its also possible someone is using your network. Use TCPOpitimizer and set it correctaly as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnux Posted May 5, 2007 Author CID Share Posted May 5, 2007 I've actually used cablenut and tweaks on this computer to see if they fix anything, sadly they don't. I removed all tweaks and reset it to normal. I doubt its that.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted May 5, 2007 CID Share Posted May 5, 2007 The difference is that Microsoft sets the default TCP windows for wireless so low that it actually hurts performance. I use TCPoptimizer for my wireless stuff, for me it just works better. Might want to check that out and see if it helps. BTW welcome to the forum!

All I did was do a TCPoptimize using Optimal settings.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted May 5, 2007 CID Share Posted May 5, 2007 alright... what is your package advertised speed? What ever it is try 500 to 1000kbps higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnux Posted May 5, 2007 Author CID Share Posted May 5, 2007 avg rr.com (4689 Kbps). I just want the same speed as my non-problem computer, For some reason this computer wont allow me to fix it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted May 5, 2007 CID Share Posted May 5, 2007 You are not going to be able to get the exact same speed.. you might be able to get 80-90% of the wired speed.. but it is just not possible to get wired speed on a wireless network, too much overhead. Adjust the slider on the top of the program to 5500kbps. That is most likely the best that you are going to be able to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnux Posted May 5, 2007 Author CID Share Posted May 5, 2007 I can't even play online games without having a ping of like 1000 or 200+. I mostly get lag, and kicked from the server 99.9% of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
