Re: [OOL] OOL Boost performance decrease when connected to route
said by Vange :
Because of this jump I called OOL. They made me run a FTP test where I was seeing 1 Mb/s DL through my router and 2 Mb/s directly from my cable modem. They said to not even bother with the Speakeasy and OOL test.
The tech said I should be seeing 20-22 Mb/s on that FTP download and I am seeing 2 Mb/s. Nothing more we could do on the phone so they are sending a tech out tomorrow.
Are you sure it was 2 megabits and not 2 megaBYTES. FTP is normally reported in Bytes. 2 MBytes = 16.3 megabits/sec

| You know what, I am not sure. I took the technicians word on what he was looking at. I just did it again through my router and it came up as 1.2 MB/s. Both capital letters. Is there a surefire way for me to test this out?
Thanks for the reply and help. |

| A capital B stands for Bytes. If you are using IE or Mozilla, they definitely reports in Bytes.
You can use the FTP program in the link below (it is in FTPOOL.ZIP)

1 edit | So with the router you are around 10mbps, without around 16+mbps
See the forum FAQ on what routers will work well with a high bandwidth connection

Re: [OOL] OOL Boost performance decrease when connected to route
I have a Netgear WPNT834. I actually used that list before I switched to OOL Boost and bought this new router. Needless to say I am disappointed that I am not seeing the proper DL speed.
I even turned off SPI and that made no difference at all either. |

When I went right from my router to a laptop (bypassing my Netgear WPN834), the speeds jumped to 18 DL and 4.5 UL.
18 MB? That's not even that good without the router. |

Brooklyn, NY | Vange, did you check to see if you have the latest firmware on your router? Also, you might need to tweak your computer as well. Try the speed tools on this site. |

| FOLLOWUP:
OOL sent out a rep. We made a direct line from the first splitter to my cable modem. My laptop now gets 26/4.5 consistently when connected directly to router. GOOD.
Now, reconnect Netgeat WPNT834 router.
My main P4 computer gets 10/4.5. JUNK.
I then took my laptop and connected it to the router, 26/4.5.
What gives? My main pPC is a P4, my laptop is really a piece of junk. I did tweak test on my main PC. Also, I tested it on various other machines and got near 10/4.5.
Notes and recommendations:
We have no recommendations for 64k lines
Looking good
Observations:
Good data stream (no/few rexmits)
Observations:
Looking good |

| Ok, sometimes its the simplest things. My laptop was tweaked properly, a 65535 rwin setting. All my other PCs, 17000 and change. When I was doing the tweak and it asked for kb/s, I put in too low a number. My calculations were obviously off. Thanks for everyones help here. ISSUE RESOLVED!! IZ am getting 25/4.5 on all machines now.
The Netgear WPNT834 had nothing to do with it. |

| That's good that you got it fixed. I am surprised that nobody picked up on the ....
"We have no recommendations for 64k lines"
That would clue me to ask for a URL for the Tweak Test and the low RWIN would be obvious.

And another one that turned out to NOT be the router! 
Glad you got it fixed.

@army.mil
| Whats amazing is that OOL has no clue about the rwin settings.
The onsite technician that showed up thought since I was splitting my cable line to my slingbox that was the issue, although I assured him the modem was in the -10 to +10 range so I should be fine.
The people on the phone were the ones telling me to do the FTP test and that the 2 MB/s speed should be 20+ MB/s. An earlier post made me realize that 2 MB/s is about 16 Mb/s. This was after I told the tech I was getting about 16 Mb/s on the OOL online test. He said those results are not as good as the FTP test.
Why does OOL support now know this stuff??
Anyway, like I said, all is resolved now. |
