Download speed problem

[niespolo]

I have a serious download speed problem with my DSL-G604 DLink router (using a wireless connection). The download is about 15 kb/s in the web pages (with an ADSL connection of 800 kb/s). How can I configure TCP Optmizer to grow the download? Thanks.

First think I'd check...is to see if the router has the latest firmware. Then...make sure MTU on the router is set based on what type of connection you have, 1492 for PPPoE DSL, 1500 for bridged DSL and cable.

Run some benchmarks using ethernet plugged into the router.

The router has the last firmware and I have setted MTU to 1492 (because I use a PPPoE DSL) in the router interface and not in the TCPOptmizer configuration (because the field text of MTU is not modificable). But the problem isn't resolved...

what dsl modem do you own?

[YeOldeStonecat]

I would set your PC to also be 1492, I prefer the PCs to match whatever your router is..consistancy across the board. And...benchmark your download speeds using a wired connection, not the wireless, so as to have more of a true baseline. Is your router set to do the PPPoE and be the only NAT, or is your DSL modem also running in router mode?

[niespolo]

Using a wired connection router can have about 20 kb/s of download....in the router interface, NAT and "set route" are setted, and "on demand" isn't setted. Qos is setted to UBR, MTU and MRU are setted to 1492.

Do not expect too much more than 15 kilo BYTES/sec. 800 kb (kiloBITS) is roughly 16 times faster than a dial up modem. So if a dial up modem downloads at 4 kilkoBYTES/sec then your adsl should download at the most about 64 kiloBYTES/sec. But then must take into accout the distance from the phone company central office and the bandwidth degrading that occurs as distance from that office increases. Call your isp and have them run a connection test from their end to find out the rates to & from the modem. Then tweak your setup for best performance.
