The router has WAN speed setting in Tools > Misc and setting it to 100Mbps allows the full 15Mbps down speed.
Looks like I was wrong in there being no setting for that but you got it going anyways! (Been awhile since I messed with the DI-604)

Congrats! :D

I finally found another post on this board with the exact same problem.

The router has WAN speed setting in Tools > Misc and setting it to 100Mbps allows the full 15Mbps down speed.

Excellent! :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DI604-router-cuts-15-Mbits-speed-in-half-22665343 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 02:31:16 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DI604-router-cuts-15-Mbits-speed-in-half-22665323
Did you say 10Mbit WAN port?

That would explain the problem. It looks like a router upgrade is in order.

Thanks for the suggestion.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DI604-router-cuts-15-Mbits-speed-in-half-22665323 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 02:13:14 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DI604-router-cuts-15-Mbits-speed-in-half-22665299
The problem is that router has a 10mbit WAN port that is limiting your speed. No setting or adjustment will help as this a hardware limitation of the router. Luckily the more updated routers on the market can be had for fairly cheap. ;)

I have new HSI service with Comcast and I'm using a Linksys CM100 cable modem.

A few minutes after my initial call to tech support to set up the line the speeds I got and still get are about 15.8 Mbit/sec down, 8.5 Mbit/sec up, as expected, on a Vista machine connected directly to the cable modem.

But when I hook up the Vista and a Linux machine to a D-Link DI-604 router and the router to the modem, the down speed gets cut in half, maybe about 8.5Mbit/sec max, while the up speed stays about the same at 8.5 Mbit/sec, from either the Vista or the Linux PCs.

I've power-cycled the modem after connecting it to the router with no effect. The router has the latest firmware available (it's a discontinued model) and in its WAN settings I cloned the MAC address of the Vista PC (can't get a connection otherwise).

Can you tell if this is a router problem, Vista problem, OS problem, or if I need to set anything on the router to avoid this dramatic reduction in downstream speed?

Thank you for your help.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/DI604-router-cuts-15-Mbits-speed-in-half-22665161 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 00:56:04 EDT
