Unless you go to a higher tier, that looks like the best that you are going to do.

If you do, come on back and we can look at it again.

That was a nasty one, but anyways, I did want to let you know something that I found out today from my cable company. I only have the basic service which is 320k speed, so after looking at what my speeds were when I ran the previous tests, they don't seem too bad compared to what my max can be. So unless I decide to pay for a faster speed, I won't go any further into checking anything else unless for some reason you think I should.

Thanks so much for your kindness and patience with me last month. I sure appreciate it. :D

Go here »192.168.100.1/
You may be prompted for a username and password. The username is root and the password is also root. Some Ambit cable modems have the information you are after on more than one web page.

Post your signals.

There is no name I can see on the cable modem, but the model #60678EU on google comes up as an Ambit Speedstream.

I should be able to do the rest of what you mentioned tonight or tomorrow and will post my results at that time.

Thanks for your response Irish Shark]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20007405 Sat, 16 Feb 2008 14:32:32 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19969518 Irish Shark : • The WGR614v5 is your router. What MODEM do you have?

• Pull the WGR614v5 and plug the box directly into the MODEM. Reboot the MODEM and then the box.

What speeds do you get now?

• Now with the router out of the picture, see if you can run the LQT. »/linequality

My modem is NETGEAR WGR614v5

Here is the fastest UL speed on my other desktop computer which runs Win98 & is wired to the router:

It was from Miami, but Speakeasy's in NY was one number faster on the DL. Its numbers were 299/297.

On my laptop which has XP on it and has a wireless connection to the router, Miami & Speakeasy's NY location were the same highest downloads. Here is Miami's:


Speakeasy was 299/293. For the record, San Francisco had the highest of upload speeds. Its numbers were: 285/334]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19969468 Sun, 10 Feb 2008 15:05:20 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19968734 Irish Shark : • What make and model is your MODEM?

• What speeds do you get on the other two machines?

I want to see if there is something I can do on my end to tweak the internet connection since I never took the time to do it after networking my 3 computers. The one I am typing this post with is WinXP and its networked by cable with a Win98SE desktop and also a laptop with a wireless network connection that has WinXP. I hardly use the Win98 puter except to experiment things with. I do have the 3 networked with a NETGEAR router and my internet connection is cable which is supposed to be 320Kbps/320Kbps.

Per rule #1, here is the URL:
»/tweakr/block:···a=normal

Per rule #2, the fastest of the 3 was 301/304 which was to Miami, 1003 miles from me.


Speak Easy site in Palo Alto was 295/304

For rule #3, I received this message & for the record, had my firewalls disabled:
sorry, 207.255.124.200 is not pingable from www.dslreports.com.

Please disable firewall ping protection.
-------------------
So my question is, are you able to help me do anything to improve my cable internet connection? Thanks so much for your time.

Donna :) ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19964632 Sat, 09 Feb 2008 17:03:53 EDT
