Dang that stinks. Any thing like it that does?

Any thing need to be removed? Also. How come it is not listing all the processes? I selected run as admin and still will not work.

Hey guys. Just bought a new pc with Windows 7. It is French to me right now since I have only used XP and missed out on Vista. It is so different! Any ways. Here are my results.

Hey guys,

I am back. Still with Charter on the 20mb/2mb plan. Recently they implemented PowerBoost. Basically gives me faster speeds for a few seconds or when not many are using the network. Do I need any more tweaking using the SG TCP/IP Optimizer or are the settings still fine? Also. I heard we ...

That modem is ancient. You need to upgrade for faster service. Plus you would get better performance all around upgrading the modem. Even on a slower plan.

Hello and thanks for your great site.

I own an older Toshiba cable modem model #DAZ8817F. I'm wanting to try Charters' new 20mb service ...

Any one know how to do that. I am using 1.23 version of Tomato. I thought by unchecking the cache box. And rebooting the router. Woould do the trick. Dnsmasq is still enabled though.

KoRnGtL15

I just discovered how to use dnsmasq. I am using it to block dns redirection from my isp. Now. Is this even technically possible? I have noticed much more speedier internet and pages are not timing out any more. I would even got as far to say it is a pretty drastic improvement. But, like I said. Is ...

When having 2 or more 360's. UPnP is a must. And that is the only way you can get a open NAT status on all 3. I have only got upnp to work properly with 3rd party firmware. Currently running Tomato. Stock firmware does not cut it. I personally would never use it with a pc. I currently have it turned ...

This would be on the ISP side and not mine correct?

When you flash with DD-WRT. Do you leave the transmit level alone at the stock level of 70mW with that particular firmware?

My WRT54GL also came with 4.30.11 I also remember poking around for a transmit power adjustment before flashing with Tomato. I could not find any thing in the Linksys firmware that had it. Thats why I asked if ...

KoRnGtL15

Linksys actually lets you set it to that? Not saying I do not believe you. Can you post a screen shot?

dd-wrt default == 70mW.

wrt54g default == 19 mW on early version 2, other versions are set at 28mW, newest Linksys firmware allows increasing the TxPower to 40 mW .

But the best method of ...

KoRnGtL15

Curious. I got to looking at the product manual. It says the RF power output is set to 18 dbm. Is that equal to 63mW? Or is the Linksys manual wrong?

KoRnGtL15

Sounds good. Thanks!

KoRnGtL15

Is it true with the WRT54GL stock Linksys firmware. It is set to 28mW for the transmit power?

KoRnGtL15

Any benefit to bumping it up from the stock setting of 42mW to 70mW? I see quite a few people running it at 70mW. Does it effect the life of the router? Does it pose any kind of health risk over time? Mine is brand new.

KoRnGtL15

First couple of things to check for wireless. What channel are you using? Do a scan and find a channel people are not using. Best channels are 1, 6 and 11. Make sure you have the latest wireless drivers as well.

KoRnGtL15

Its fine now. Weird stuff.

KoRnGtL15

Just got a Linksys WRT54GL and flashed it with Tomato firmware. Router is secured and I am on cable internet. Every thing is working great. I am using pretty much the default settings. Why is it in my tracert. Hop 2 will time out every single time?

I just updated my network drivers. Is it wise to run the optimizer again after upgrading the drivers? I upgraded them through device manager.

What Asus model would you suggest over the Linksys? I currently have no use for wireless N and looking for a G router.

I hear so much about this combo and how great it is. I am a complete wireless noob and know nothing about it. I need to free up a couple ethernet cables both at 50ft long. I would be taking our Acer netbook and Nintendo Wii online with the wireless. I have always used a wired connection and cable ...

KoRnGtL15

Thanks trogers. I will leave it as is. Do you suggest moving the slider in tcp/ip optimizer to 20? I have it on 16 with the custom settings you guys suggested.

I am back again. We are getting another upgrade in the next 2 weeks or so. Charter cable is increasing the 16mb/2mb to 20mb/2mb. Which we are currently on the 16mb/2mb tier.

It is worth it to me if your a heavy user. I have Charter and been on there 5mb/512, 10mb/1mb and now the 16mb/2mb plan. I can notice a nice jump between the 3. My network looks like this:

Possibly adding another pc down the line as well. Under full network load ...

Sorry to bring this back from the dead. I thought it would be better then making a whole new thread. I upgraded to the 16mb/2mb tier about a week or so ago. General question. The slider that is in the optimizer. Am I suppose to move that to the 16,000kbps since I am on the 16mb/2mb tier now?

KoRnGtL15

How do I go about setting both of those up for sending and receiving plain text emails only? I want html disabled and only needed when required.

Is there a way possibly you can help me set things up right to be able to see my modem stats any time? Sounds like it might be difficult. I am using the routers default settings. The only things changed is port forwarding for my Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii. Both using static ip's as well.

The only way I can get to the page is by rebooting the modem. And then it will only work for for a little bit. Maybe a couple hours or so. Now I do have a Linksys BEFSR41 v4.0 router. With newest firmware. If I remember correctly. When your behind a router and want to view your cable modem ...

KoRnGtL15

Really? Because that router is still being sold at retail but have noticed its newer versions. I'm not a fan of wireless and despise it. Can you suggest to me a better router that Linksys makes? I would surely like to stay with Linksys since I have had no trouble with mine. Come to think of it. I ...

A little late and should have asked. But, I did purchase it a few days ago. So, far it has been great! I have it paired with my Linksys BEFSR41 v4.0 router. My old setup was the same router but with a Toshiba PCX2200 cable modem. I finally had to retire it since I upgraded my service to 10mb/1mb. I ...

Question. If I was to upgrade to the 16mb/2mb tier. Would my current settings work okay with that or would I need to come back and report for you guys can set me up again?

KoRnGtL15

Guess my speeds are now optimal with your new settings. Picked up a new modem and have full speeds now. Thanks again!

KoRnGtL15

I am using a Toshiba PCX2200 cable modem and found out it could be holding back my speed. Are your settings still optimal overall for 10mb/1mb service? Or will I need to make changes again when picking up my new modem to get full speeds?
