| DIR-655 SPA2102 - download & upload speeds
I received the D-Link DIR-655 router. Here are some interesting facts; with SPA2102 place behind the DIR-655 my download speeds are 50% better. My VOIP phone quality is also better (I will need to test VOIP quality some more). I knew something was up when Linksys instructions for placing the SPA2102 said if you have a home router, place it behind it. I thought the SPA2102 was a router? My last router did not have a very good QOS. I tried to put the SPA2102 behind my old router (WRT54GS), but the sound quality was bad. Here are my numbers download & upload numbers.
1st network configuration; Cable modem > SPA2102 > DIR-655
2nd network configuration; Cable modem > DIR-655 > SPA2102
Network - download - upload - Server
2nd - 12915 Kbps - 496 Kbps - Sprint (Fort Worth TX)
2nd - 11678 Kbps - 531 Kbps - Broadstar (Miami FL)
2nd - 9107 Kbps - 556 Kbps - NYC, NY, USA
1st - 5200 Kbps - 555 Kbps - NYC, NY, USA
1st - 6040 Kbps - 527 Kbps - Sprint (Fort Worth TX)
1st - 4835 Kbps - 518 Kbps - Broadstar (Miami FL)
So far, I must give my DIR-655 five stars – I think I will only buy D-Routers from now on. |
