Cheers guys, I think running a long copper sounds good, would be easier too really... As long as I keep it away from anything which can cause EMI we should be good...

Hi guys,

Probably a silly question but I got to ask, and what better place to ask!

My main PC is moving upstairs into my room. It used to be in the kitchen along with the cable modem and wireless router.

I want my PC to be wired, not on wifi.

Now I can drill a hole through the floor, for either ...

Reset the present router to factory default (by pressing the small reset button at its rear for 10 seconds), thus disabling all port forward, and change the password so that the router cannot be accessed to port forward.


Password all set, no forwarding for ports UNCP turned off yet 90% of ...

Thanks guys, but is there anyway to do this from the router?


I might have to do that trogers, but for now I would like to try from the router if possible.

Hey guys, since another member of the family has found out about torrents and all the other crap the internet has been going very slow for the rest of us.

How can I set up some kind of QOS system?


Netgear WGR614 v7

DHCP OFF

Mode g only
Wireless AP ON
Broadcast Name OFF
Mac address filtering ON.

Here it is with nothing running other than the speed test.

The speed test took about a minute to start after the ping...

Thanks for your response!

Yeah I had a feeling it would be something like that so I browsed around for speed guides for uTorrent and applied them to the speed of my connection.

Anyway now I've got a big update!

The connection is slow for both computers on the network and sometimes it looses ...

Hello guys,

I'm getting slow Internet in general but when I go to use uTorrent (one torrent downloading at around 40kbs upload around 20kbs) it just cuts my Internet to really slow... I mean this page here took me about a minute to load.

I noticed that the "Wireless Network Connection" in task ...

Dude I have to say I was a little skeptic about your EMI thingy, but today after reading through this thread I found the thing to blame was the modem cat5 cable being wrapped around the same metal leg as the power ones, that's all was at fault.

I just phoned my dad and tonight we should be cutting ...

Well I can't uncoil them until my dad's here or free, so I can rewire them.

That's better still not the best I've had but if it's like that all the time it'll be awesome!

Yeah but would a higher filter be better?

I didn't mean to say router sorry, I meant modem. Well it's just strange how moving it all the way out and also adding a big metal shield didn't change it :( .

Thanks.

I done the http://miranda.ctd.anl.gov:7123/ test. It's far away from me but still ...

Yep but Upstream transmit Power Level is very high still...

Shall I get a 6db one somehow?

Anything else to do, it seems like EMI isn't really effecting my modem after all.

I don't think you can get settings on it.

Also: TCP window: 115000 is that good, because I get latency of around 200 on all the servers I visit.

I used:

4000/kbps
x delay 230
= 115000

So 115000 is good?

Also I ...

How the hell do I log into my cable modem?


:S

Thanks.

Yes I remember the days when I used to make those cool elecromagnetic lifters with lots of coiled wire. Damn took me a while wrapping that all up. I don't know where else to put it that wouldn't restrict airflow/get in the way.

Ohh I tell you, I would love to rewire them ;) . If it wasn't for my ...

Okay here are some images which I hope will help you help me :) .

It's on the floor. Are you sure it's electromagnetic interference? It just seems a little strange that it drops from 4000kbs to 1000kbs just from that :O.

I can't really move it as it's on the floor already under my PC though. If it is this to blame then maybe some kind of metal shield? I dunno...

Thanks, done so. I remember doing a tracert before lots of lines of info :) .

I'll turn off my modem now, I'll be back in about 5 mins then. I'll test as soon as it comes back on.


My modem's under my computer it has about 15cm of clearance, no where else to put it.

What about the router's settings ...

Here we go, after pluging my computer into the modem directly look what I get, what it should be!

Yeah I'll do that just after I post this message.


A interesting thing is that if I set up my connection type in my router settings to PPPoE connection it will then let me change my MTU size up to 1492... But why not with cable?

hold on while I swap all cables around :P.

Humm, but why :S. I don't know why it won't let you change the MTU. Is there some kinda 3rd party software which can change it mate?

Thanks.

edit: Like what the!

Would the hostname effect speed? If not then it's working fine without it.


There's no option to change the MTU anywhere .

Umm, any way other than phoning them? Were not really that keen of there custom service/phone line. And my dad's out atm he's the one with all the info on the account.

I can clone the MAC address I'm sure I've tried before but I'll do it again now.
Argh good job I saved this message my router ...

It's on Dynamic:

TICKED (A Dynamic type of connection is the most common. If you use a cable modem, then most likely you will have a dynamic connection. If you have a cable modem or you are not sure of your connection type, use this.)




+rep btw

Yeah I think that also, problem is I can't find the MTU/MRU/MSS settings anywhere in the router setup home page... I've looked in every single place.

I've googled for it "Belkin F5D7230-4 v6000" but no luck .

Wow :D http://www.speedtest.net/result/151816437.png
That's pretty good, I remember having 3970 before though hehehe, but don't worry about that small difference if it works every time :D .
