Re: [TWC] I got 50/5 Wideband service, now getting 9/5 on RR HawI'm in Hawaii with an SB6580 in bridge mode. My WAN IP box looks like this (---.---.---.---), so I suspect that you are not in bridge mode. I used the instructions at the following link to bridge it (although the 'rg passthrough' is no longer an option). » gist.github.com/entangle ··· /1130675 |

Hi delar:
I followed the instructions except the part of having the PC connecting directly to the modem. I ordered a longer LAN cable but it will not get here till next week, free shipping.
The only step I did miss was input the mac address of the Asus, the modem had the old Netgear router mac address. Something I forgot to do when I got the Asus.
I checked the Motorola modem, the WAN ip address is listed as (---,---,---,---) so I am pretty sure I am in bridge mode.
I am at a lost, I really don't understand how I am not getting more than 10/5 when Saturday I was getting 50/5. Until I get my LAN cable I want to make sure it's not my router that is causing all of the problems all of a sudden.
I want to make a note that under Advance settings on the Motorola everything is enabled except for UPnP Enable.
Anyways, that's it for tonight, if anyone has other ideas I can try them when I get home tomorrow. Thanks everyone who tried to help. When I get the LAN cable I will try the steps again that you linked to delar. |

Small update, before I went to sleep last night I wanted to see what IP address my PC was connecting to. So I went to network settings, and I saw that my LAN speed connection via the gigabit LAN on the motherboard was running at 10Mbs!
So now I am work and looking at the LAN speed connection here on the 10/100 network card and it is running at 100Mbs!
So somehow, either something I installed over the weekend, or my OS went *boink* that my gigabit LAN went from 1000Mbs to 10Mbs. This is why I was getting downloads of 10 and less.
Luckily, I bought an Intel gigabit PCI-E network card because Windows 8 was giving me problems. When I get home I will disable the onboard LAN connection and use the Intel gigabit, assuming that it will show up as 1000Mbs and not continue with 10Mbs. |

Make sure you NIC is set to something like "Auto Negotiate". The wording may be a little different per your OS/NIC. Basically you want to make sure it's not specifically set to 10Mpbs (either half or full duplex).
How to check:
1.) Right click My Computer and go to properties 2.) Click Device Manager 3.) Expand Network Adapters 4.) Right-click your NIC and select Properties 5.) Go to the Advanced tab and Speed and Duplex
If you make a change you *may* need to reboot your machine for the changes to take effect. If Speed and Duplex is set correctly it could be a few things:
1.) NIC is faulty 2.) The port on the router/switch you're using is faulty 3.) Your network cable is faulty |

I well check the settings first before I disable the onboard NIC and replace it with the Intel NIC card (if necessary).
Thanks jpatton1979. |

Final update. Good news!
Surprisingly, it was a faulty connection. I noticed that the Asus router light was blinking off and on. So I pulled the network cable out put it back in...the light turned off. I went to check on my PC, and noticed that the network cable did not "snap" into the ethernet port. So once I got it to snap. Everything is now working.
Just did a speed test and I am at 51/5!
Thanks everyone for helping me. |
