Re: Access to Clear Modem?

Ok thanks for answering that clearly and with no run around.

So double NAT and DHCP isn't the issue then right?

I've noticed that the latency (or Ping) with TWC was between 19 and 25 ms.

And with Clear 4G/WiMax it's usually around 99. The lowest I've seen the latency (Ping) is 78 ms.

And from what I've read latency determines how fast webpages will load. So I'm asking you guys is that true? Is there anything else I can do that will decrease the latency? My setup right now is this.

Clear Modem (Motorola Device) ---> Clear Voice (VoIP) ---> Linksys WRT610N

WiMax latency is going to be around 100ms; it will never be as fast as a hard-wired connection (i.e. Cable/DSL/FIOS) as it is a wireless technology.

I have had Clear WiMax in Atlanta, GA for about 5 months now; average is around 100ms (vs. 10ms on BellSouth DSL).

Another thing to note is that Clear WiMax is very prone to slow-downs during peak hours (I believe they oversold it in the Atlanta area) and they are now cap bandwidth if you saturate your connection for more than 10 mins. I am seeing a drop to 1Mbps after I use my connection for about 10 mins...
