jeffaroonyo24 Posted February 17, 2005 CID Share Posted February 17, 2005 I have Direcway 6000 and I hate it. I have my Apple computers networked with an Airport Extreme Base station. I have 3 computers running on my network: an iMac G4 20", an iMac G5 20", and an eMac. The iMac G4 20" is the main computer where I do all of the networking from. My speed is around 1kbps-200kbps max on a really good day. I have spent countless hours on the phone with the freaks from India who can't speak English and they always tell me to unplug my modem from the base station, plug it into my iMac G4 20". They try to fix it with a bunch of weird proxy settings that seem to screw it up even more. And then they tell me I am good to go. Anyway can anyone help me make my internet faster with my current configuration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerkill10 Posted February 17, 2005 CID Share Posted February 17, 2005 What are you connecting at now I do know that most dw 6000 users suffer from slower download speeds than the dw 4000 as far as tweating a mac i do not know. But i network 5 computers using my direcway connection through a wireless router and i have noticed a significant loss threw the router about 1/2 the speed of the host computer for a wired connection and about 1/4 for a wireless connection uploads suck :::..
