| strange problems
Hello all,
I am in champaign and after the speed boost I've run into a problem.
I'm getting lower speeds than other people so I assumed it was because I was going through a router.
The router is a netgear wgr614 v6 The computer I am testing
is "hard wired" to the router.
Anyway, when I went to test the machine straight from the sb3100 modem, The network connection dropped from 100mbps to
10mbps.... Same cord, Same nick...
At first I thought I had a faulty cord but I changed that with three diffrent ones... if I plug back into the router
it goes back to 100mbps... weird eh?
Other info:
Intel(R) PRO/100+ Management Adapter
the router is cloned with the testing machines mac
Thanks for any and all replies. |

I tried that, but the network connection drops to 10mbps rather than the 100mbps through the router...
it came in at 2.4 mbps on the speed test.
compared to 6.1mbps throuh the router |

| I think its safe to say that everyone has great speeds for a few hours then it drops to junk.I have not been about to hit 9.00Mbps since the update and i have not had good "ping times "since the update/upgrade even some of the web pages which was fast in loading are even slower then normal now.so I think there servers are not able to handle the load of everyone having 10mbps and we just have to wait and see what happens i guess im not sure but its not cool at all. |

Vbslim...What you are describing is the Nic card seeing the modem as a 10BT connection instead of an 100BT like thru the router and it comes up at the bottom right and tells you it's a 10Mbps.It sounds like the card is having an issue with the modem connection, but I wouldn't worry about it because it is still detecting the 100Mbit connection to the router so even if you needed to transfer files between computers it would still be 100Mbit throughput.

1 edit | Exactly right freak...
you hit the nail on the head...
I was just itchin to see what the speed mighta been like
with out the router... And a little kilobyte envy I suppose..
I aint complaining... a 400kb d/l increase aint bad and I'm really liking the upload boost...
Thanks for your reply
