bjbraswell Posted December 29, 2007 CID Share Posted December 29, 2007 Im having about the same problem as you. I have sbcglobal also. If someone can help please message me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTPwarrior Posted December 29, 2007 CID Share Posted December 29, 2007 Try setting your router's port configuration to "Full Duplex 100". It may say "Auto" for each connection. I had a similar problem with my router and it worked for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Fan Posted December 30, 2007 Author CID Share Posted December 30, 2007 Hmmm... I can't seem to find that on my WRT54G router. Help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buntz Posted December 30, 2007 CID Share Posted December 30, 2007 It's in windows. Control panel/network connections / right click on properties of the local area connection that you are using /click on configure/ click on advanced /scoll down to speed & duplex and click on it. Change from auto-sense to 100Mbps Full Duplex / then click OK. You might have to reboot to get it to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Fan Posted December 30, 2007 Author CID Share Posted December 30, 2007 Can you configure it for Mac? And I just tried to do that for my Windows laptop, but it's not possible for wireless connections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buntz Posted December 30, 2007 CID Share Posted December 30, 2007 Sorry I do not have a MAC. See if you can get a hold of Dlewis23 or Mudmanc4 they are the Mac user around here that I know of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Fan Posted December 30, 2007 Author CID Share Posted December 30, 2007 Still hovering around 2.2 on my wired Windows computer with the setting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buntz Posted December 30, 2007 CID Share Posted December 30, 2007 On the windows computer have you try cablenut or TCP Optimizer? Also how far down the line are you from the DSL hub? Have you try the speed tests early in the morning or late at night [off peak hours] they may have overloaded the line. edit- I can not set it on my wireless laptop either.

I'm sure we're pretty far out. We're about 10 miles from town. I have tried Cablenut in the past and have it set on my wireless laptop which gets around the same speeds. When school starts back up I'll do some 6 AM speed tests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buntz Posted December 30, 2007 CID Share Posted December 30, 2007 That may be the best you can get because of the distance you are from the hub.. Try it once during off peak hour to see what you get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTPwarrior Posted December 31, 2007 CID Share Posted December 31, 2007 You probably have a different router and the login to the router will likely be a different IP address, but the general instruction below may be helpful in getting you port configuration correct: Want to share some information I recently obtained while trying to correct a slow download speed issue. The Verizon Tech replaced my old D-Link DI-624 router with subject router and I was still getting horrible download speeds in the range of less than 1 Mbps (paying for 15/2). The tech was getting 15/2 on his laptop through the router. The key for me was change the port configuration setting to Full Duplex 100 on each connection. After I did this...I got the full 15/2. To change this setting. login to your actiontec (192.168.1.1). Click on Advanced at top right. Click yes to proceed. Click on Port Configuration. On the ports that are connected, click on the drop down arrow and select 100 Full Duplex. I had two ports connected so I did this on both. Worked like a charm. The previous auto settings did not open the router to its fastest potential. If you ever need to reboot the router, this setting will be set back to auto and you will need to change the port configuration again. Please let me know if this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
