Any ideas??? Tech ping.
can’t you just do a tracert? The problem is the path many not be the same every time... It should show you the speed of each connection made ... WOW, Been a long time sence I have done one.. There are a bunch of switches you can add also....
I don’t have any ideas but I am anxiously waiting for someone to show up with an answer. I have the same problem.
If your router has multiple ports, then try the other ports... sometimes a router can have a flaky port.
If not, then do you have another computer you can try to see if the issue is related to the computer itself?
You can also try running multiple traceroutes from the computer to see if there’s something screwy with your DNS... perhaps one of your DNS providers is incorrect, resulting in some packets not making it out of there properly.
speedtest dot net
Here is an NDT server at the University of Santa Cruz that only tests the speeds of 1 client at a time on a 1G link.
If you have a DSL over a phone line (as opposed to a cable connection); the performance will degrade, as distance from the central servers increases.
Start working from the DSL modem out. Plug your PC directly into the DSL modem (skip the router), and run a speed test from there (speedtest.net).
Next, plug the router into the DSL modem, and your PC into an open port on the router. Turn off any other device that might be accessing the internet at all (PC’s, smart phones, iPads, Roku/AppleTV boxes, etc., etc.). Do the speed test again and compare the results.
Next, if it’s a WiFi router, unplug your PC from the router and connect via WiFi and repeat the speed test again. (keep all your other internet-capable devices off for this test too.)
This should give you an idea of what the speeds are relative to one another based on the different connection methods.
As an additional step, you can switch to a different PC, and take it again from the top. This will help isolate whether it is the PC vs. router vs. modem.
You can only get 2.5Mbps total. If you have several computer using it, the 2.5 will be divided among however many puters that are concurrently logged on. If one is playing an internet movie, watch out. Also, DSL speed will drop when more users are logged on. Your ISP probably specifies a range of speeds for your monthly rate. You will probably be at the lower speed between 5 and 11 PM.
Yes, what you need to do is put the router inside your sling shot. Then shoot it across your backyard and time how long it takes to fly across the the length of it and it’s aerodynamics thereof. Thank you.
Select the "Both" option; upload and download test.
I'm concerned as to what you mean by "set to the maximum output"
If you talking the Ethernet port speed that has nothing to do with the dsl speed
And a Ethernet port speed and duplex mismatched between you router and modem will case nothing but problems...
Leave it at the defaults which most likely would be auto negotiate...
So to test your dsl speed...eliminate the router... connect the Ethernet of you dsl modem to the Ethernet port of your pc
Got to a command prompt and run ipconfig/all
Look for the IP of your DNS server and ping the ip address repeatedly to see if you get consistent response times
If that seems consistent...you can pick a speed test site...I like http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/
But here the deal with "guaranteed speed" that is from you dsl modem to your ISP...not from you IPS to the Internet...
Your only as fast as the slowest link...
Many ISP cheap out on the the connect they have to internet...
So big woop.. you get 2.5 MEG to your ISP ...but too the Internet your stuck in a traffic jam, sharing an oversubscribed backbone link to the Internet with all the others users
IPS are the same as telco...you shared the bandwidth... not everyone can use at once and get whats "guaranteed" speed
I get 1.8Mbps dn 0.7 up on my DSL.
I’m well over a mile from the nearest switch...miracle I get on at all out here in the middle of nowhere.
