Re: Router supporting 10mbit bandwidth
 
sorry, i shoulda stated in 1st post, the reason i know my router is capping my connection is because i direct connected modem to PC and got the full 10mbit connection, through router its 5mbit.

the LAN side of the router is capable of 10/100Mb/s, so shared pc's will communicate ok, through the router, but the WAN side - which connects to the internet, is only capable of 10Mb/s half duplex, hence around 5Mb/s download.

This is the case with my Linksys V2 Befsr41 - and why I ain't fussed about upgrading, just yet ;)

is the self confessed 'belkin tech', on the forum, you may want to run it by him/her as they might know of upcoming or existing firmware updates which could mean 10 meg would work at full speed???

- I would be surprised if their newer products weren't capable, already, tbh???

I have a BEFSR81 8-port router, V2 - would that work with 10M? If not, is there a firmware upgrade?

thank-you

Nineham and all of you others with Belkin Routers.

there is an Excel spreadsheet with this post stating all the speeds that the belkin routers can handle and I've posted this same piece of info now about 4x on the forums.

so please check this out before you make any hasty conclusions

cheers mate ;) I work for Belkin but I wasnt around for a couple of days (booze shopping in France) so I couldnt check what was happening in this post if I did I would've posted the links to the posts that I've done where I already stated the speeds of the belkin routers.
