| DIR-655 WAN Upload capped at 256kbps
I have cable modem with 5mbps down and 1 mbps upload service.
When I plug PC directly to modem, I get this speed.
When I connect via DIR-655, download is stil 5mbps but upload is capped at 256 kbps.
A second PC on different LAN connection to the router has same problem. However, PC-PC transfers are the gigabyte speed (no upload cap LAN to LAN).
This tells me the WAN is capped but I have no idea why this would be the case.
I am on FW1.11
Thoughts? Help! |

| SPI was off.
But I was STUPD STUPID STUPID
I used to have 3mbps/256kbps service (Did I mention how much I love charter) so QOS was set to 256.
I am surprised that QOS thottles when only one PC is connected but is seems this setting is a hard cap regardless of what you have or are using. This setting caps you at the number regardless.
So when I changed to 1200kbps, everything works. I did not want to put 1000 because it "sensed" 1120 but if I put it too high, QOS will not do anything.
STUPID me and STUPID QOS.
As an aside, I bought the stupid DIR-655 because I needed QOS for VOIP since I only had 256 available.
I guess I should be glad charter has finally upgraded to a decent upload speed (are they out of bankrupcy yet??). |

Dallas, TX | if 1120 is what you get then enter 1120, entering 1200 won't allow it to do its job. Might as well turn it off |
