QwertyWI Posted April 21, 2005 CID Share Posted April 21, 2005 I have Verizon DSL 3M... When I am connected via Ethernet I get signals close to 2.8M... When I am wireless I am at only about 1.4M What would cause such a descrepency???? This is freaky!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QwertyWI Posted April 21, 2005 Author CID Share Posted April 21, 2005 With XP... can the MTU and other settings be different between Wireless Transmitter and the Wired Network Adapter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
php Posted April 21, 2005 CID Share Posted April 21, 2005 could it be? yes... should it be? definitely not... are you by any other electronic devices? also, do you have any 2.4GHz wireless phones? do you know what speed you have the router set at max?

QwertyWI Posted April 21, 2005 Author CID Share Posted April 21, 2005 Actually my cordless phones are 2.4 Ghz.... any suggestions? The wierd thing was this morning all worked fine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QwertyWI Posted April 21, 2005 Author CID Share Posted April 21, 2005 How frustrating... I spent 45 minutes on the phone with Verizon support... They are saying that my modem is receiving 3.3 MB and cannot tell me WHY when I am hardwired to the network I am getting 2.8 and only 1.4 when wireless. I did check and I do have 2.4Ghz Cordless phones, BUT I unplugged the base unit and moved the phones away... STILL NOTHING. I will have to check in the morning. I am bewildered because in the morning it was just fine... Damn computer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TriRan Posted April 22, 2005 CID Share Posted April 22, 2005 i think what hes saying is it was fine this morning but has now dramaticly dropped by half >.> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QwertyWI Posted April 22, 2005 Author CID Share Posted April 22, 2005 That is correct... BUT I think I have it fixed.... FOR WHATEVER REASON, it appears as though the "stock" tcp/ip setup in my system was limiting my transfer rate... I went ahead and plugged in the VanBuren 3000/768 PPPoE fix and it went back to normal... It was wierd because I did not have the same issues with my wired connection... I even removed it afterwards and it went 1/2 speed. Completely Bizzare... See below: STOCK TCP/IP ============ :::..

Azag Posted April 23, 2005 CID Share Posted April 23, 2005 Like in the previous post as said b4 "you wont get the same speeds wireless as wired." Very true. And yes I would remove all cordless phones and microwaves and cellphones and even am/fm radio receivers ect. out of that room and no where near it when online. That can make a big differance but if it messes u up because you miight forget than power cycle/turn (off for 90 seconds then back on) your modem and router or at least router really. I have seen my speed drop from 3.5Mbps to 200Kbps from a simple cellphone call ten feet from wireless router antennae on my pc so it does happen. Anything giving off RF noise can effect your signal or anything in path of signal blocking it. I myself am wireless and speedtest at 3Mbps to 3.7Mbps on speedtests here but my real download speeds when downloading a big file are much better in real life actually about 5.1Mbps is average for downloads over 1MB. And my upload tests here arew about 350Kbps to 390Kbps but in real life and on tests from .edu sites they are 2.3Mbps to 2.8Mbps (no lie I can provide screen shots as proof ). As for Van Burens tweaks they helped me just fine and I retweaked them with custom cable nut setting of my own but they were good spring boards to start from. Trial and error is the best test for twaeking but always back up old settings of coarse . Btw I'm on cable and your on DSL obviously so tweaking is a little different and I tend to benefit alot more because cable tweaking works were as DSL tweaking doesn't usually take u as far. But anyway you said ur 10 feet away and I am about 120 feet to 150 feet away from my router which has to go through a brick wall (3' and thick old windows 2 inches as well as my window which is thinner and has a few big white pines in the path between and I get 3.1Mbps about average on a 5000/384 package lol not to shabby heheh. Also dopn't forget to upgrade ur routers firmware and your wireless antennae drivers for remote PC, as this could be a big benefit to stablity of connect and speed too! Good luck. Hope it stays back to normal for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QwertyWI Posted April 23, 2005 Author CID Share Posted April 23, 2005 Thanks for the notes... well, SO FAR SO GOOD!!! Tonight I am running about... Connection is:: 2817 Kbps about 2.8 Mbps (tested with 12160 kB) What I wish is that my DSL has been verified at 3.3M by Verizon... I want it all!!! (Even if I have to go wired)... I just don't know enough about tweeking, so I better leave well enough alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
