banjoboy Posted September 6, 2009 CID Share Posted September 6, 2009 :roll I have a d-link DIR-655 Router which is only about 6 months old. I have discovered that my upload speed problem is related to this. I have replaced the cables to only mimimal effect,speeds bypassing the router for upload are fine--with the router they are less than half at times. I am on a 2mb down 300kps up package and the download speed with or without router are 2100 --upload without router 365-290kps with router 150-195 kps Any ideas??

mudmanc4 Posted September 6, 2009 CID Share Posted September 6, 2009 First I would make sure the firmware is the latest, even if the router is brand new, there could still be firmware upgrades, you can find it on there site in this page. Is this the router you have ?>>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unplugged router and modem for bit just to try and see any change. no difference--upload without router--290--with 190--using testmy upload test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted September 7, 2009 CID Share Posted September 7, 2009 You mentioned that you made sure the cables were good, you have the latest firmware, but when you go through the router your upload is half speed. I'm curious if for some reason by default the duplex settings, and or the QOS settings are set to throttle the connection. Have you looked into any of this ? You should familiarize yourself with the GUI in the router. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudmanc4 Posted September 7, 2009 CID Share Posted September 7, 2009 :not sure what those are--duplex settings, GUI, and QOS settings.What are these and how do Look at and fix?? You'll find a plethora of settings in the router "GUI = Graphical User Interface" , one of which is the "QOS= Quality Of Service" . An example of a GUI is what you see on the desktop of your computer, from the start menu to the control panel and all therein , it is a simple way to control the device without actually editing the code that makes it work. The QOS is a setting that restricts bandwidth to a specific physical or virtual port or connection within your router. My suggestion is a long shot of it being adjusted to restrict by default , but it's a start. The duplex settings are a little beyond me for a real good explenation, other then this, say full duplex will use the full bandwidth of the port / wire you have connected, where half will as it says restrict the fow of data on the specific port / wire. Before making any changes , goto this NDT server and run there java based line test, post the results here, even the ones that are in the statistics tab. Unless you have already done so, to go into the router interface, or look at the GUI , by going into your browser window any typing the specific IP of the router which in your case is 192.168.0.1. The username is "admin" w/ the quotes , and there is no password by default , which you'll want to change when you get in there. LMK when you get into the router , and look around a bit, don't change things your not familiar with, but even if you do, the router can be reset, no worries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banjoboy Posted September 7, 2009 Author CID Share Posted September 7, 2009 The number 192.168.0.1 is my hughes net statistics page--which gives imfo about my satelllite connections --strenth ect. not the router--is this what you ment??

zalternate Posted September 7, 2009 CID Share Posted September 7, 2009 Can you adjust the MTU settings in the router? Maybe try 1488 at the Maximum first and work downwards. Or maybe the routers firewall may be an issue? Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stateful_firewall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted September 7, 2009 CID Share Posted September 7, 2009 So is it explornet, or hughes ? http://www.testmy.net/t-27029.msg313240#msg313240 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since our glorious Government refuses to let Hughesnet do direct business in Canada. So Xplornet has made quite the captive market of satellite Internet users. It's pretty well like no competition, since any other reseller is small or business only and some have Xplornet as the call support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banjoboy Posted September 12, 2009 Author CID Share Posted September 12, 2009 you had mentioned mtu settings--how do I adjust that?? Thanks- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zalternate Posted September 12, 2009 CID Share Posted September 12, 2009 you had mentioned mtu settings--how do I adjust that?? Thanks- Should be in your WAN settings area. The specs say it's adjustable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
