| How to set up PC for Clearwire?
I have installed the Clearwire "wireless" system, and it works OK. It is a little faster than the DSL system I had, but nothing like what I expected from the advertising. Now I am committed to a contract with them and would like to have the best setup I can.
I used the DSLReports Speed test and get around 2450/450 compared to the 1500/384 with DSL. The Tweak test makes no suggestions.... and shows a 25600 Tcp Rec Win... but DRTCP shows a 75920
I don't understand.... Anyone able to clarify for me? |

| I called the Clearwire tech helpline. Wow! Polite, helpful, courteous, efficient! I am still in awe!
The tech told me to move my antenna - now three signal lights are lit. the DSLReports speed improved from 2450/340 to 3935/339. And that's great!
I, then, went to the "speedtest.net" site: There my speeds, from the Las vegas server, measure at 6850/390.
So things are better, and the downloads are really quick. But I would like to have more correlation... or be able to explain it. Maybe the DSL reports does not measure wireless speeds correctly...???
