Speed issues.

[Rocky_Grim]

I have the latest updates for the VIA Rhine II and my Belkin router. However, my download speeds are stuck at around 250kb and upload speeds are fine. I have comcast 8mb/768.

What Is Your Latency?

[trogers]

MTU with Comcast should be 1500. Are you using a ADSL router that is limiting MTU to 1454?

Ok I noticed when connecting to the VIA Rhine II with the latest drivers and everything that I was only able to connect at 10mb to. Even when I forced 100 full duplex.

I have disabled the VIA Rhine II installed the Belkin F5D7230-4 router and the Belkin F5D7000 wireless G network card. The box for the router says Cable or DSL for the router. I have my MTU set to 1500 in TCP Optimizer however MTU still reads 1452 and I have not found no way to change it on the configuration page. My speeds are very good now. I only have two areas of concern now.

1.) MTU stuck
2.) My signal level is only 1 bar out of 5!

My router is connected upstairs and my wireless computer is downstairs. They are about 30 feet apart if that. However, they are on different floors. Let me know what you guys can come up with. I'm beating myself in the head! lol
Thanks,

Also I ping the cable modem from the wireless computer I get 3ms and for the router 3ms. Is this normal? There is no packet loss however.

Thanks,

Not surprising to ping the router at 3ms. Your signals have to pass through steel reinforced concrete floor slab. It is when ping times at the router are higher than those at the modem that you start worrying.

If your MTU is at 1452, try setting TCP Window to 259808.

I am in the basement of the house and the router is on the first floor. There is nothing put the floor from upstairs which is plywood and wooden beams. I got better signal when the wireless router was down here and I had the wireless computer upstairs. I thought that the router is suppose to be at the highest point?

Thanks for your help,
Rocky

Perhaps you have less electrical equipment in the basement that may interfere with the signal of the router, thus better transmission? The principle of highest point is on a single floor basis - as that would be the point of least obstructions. Also, try the wireless tips in the Wireless Networking section of our forum.

5.8mb download upload speed is excelent. Wired connection upstairs is 12.1mb. I realize I won't hit that on a wireless connection or atleast I don't think I will. I just wish I could squeeze one more bar out of the signal that way I don't get disconnected.
