Not getting 152mb
 

Had cable installed last week, just did a speed test and its averaging 50up/12down. Does it take a while for the speed to rise or is there a fault?

Thanks

Oooh I say!

First off - click here please ma

What does the Primary Downstream Service Flow & Primary Upstream Service Flow say?

The Max traffic rate for 152 service is 168960000 bps down and 12600000 bps up

If all else fails, hit it with a Elsie Tanner - sawted!

It does not take a while for speed to rise. There's a number of possibilities, in order of likelihood, wireless, testing methodology, congestion, network fault.

You forgot bodged install, rarer now I think but still possible.

Is the speed test over wifi or cabled computer?

Re: Not getting 152mb
 

Wifi - dont have an ethernet to test wired, but im right beside the router.

Go on Dot!

Looks like you're on the right config profile, what are your power levels? http://192.168.0.1/cgi-bin/VmRouterS...wnstreamCfgCgi

Power levels look alright, could be just crap wifi, but you'd need to test wired to confirm

Wish my boy Nick was still here, he'd know what to do. Anyway coco and bed dears, church in the morning :)

Re: Not getting 152mb
 

Many cheap wireless cards have a practical maximum speed of about 50Mbps.

Re: Not getting 152mb
 

did cheesy feet technician not leave you an ethernet cable?

Re: Not getting 152mb
 

just to clarify the above: there is a highly likelihood that if you connected your laptop or pc directly to the router by wire that you will get max speed. The problem with wireless is that there are many types of network cards which perform at varying degrees, then there is the distance you are from the router and interference as well such as the signal going through walls. Some people can get full speed or close to it if they have bought the right equipment but like qas said, the average over wireless is 50mbits. This doesn't mean that there is a problem with your connection though and that you couldn't get full speed if you chose an optimum connection media.

Thanks everyone :)

Hi Peeps

I found an ethernet cable and im getting 154DOWN/12UP. thanks for all your help.

Re: Not getting 152mb
 

np, if you are looking for a permanent solution you can get branded Ethernet cables really cheap from amazon. As an example, you can get a longer (e.g. 10m) cable if you wanted to put a permanent solution in place and keep it tidy by running it under your carpet or upstairs/downstairs as an example.

Re: Not getting 152mb
 

Is there anything I can purchase to improve the wireless speed?

Re: Not getting 152mb
 

Only a better wifi card, which is problematic if its integrated into the device.

Re: Not getting 152mb
 

ish, you could buy a new router with better wireless performance which would cost about £50 but I think your main problem is the wireless adapter in your laptop or whatever it is you are using. You be better off replacing that first.

Something like this would be good http://www.dabs.com/products/linksys...83-50468&src=3

That being said, if your computer/laptop is permanently sat next to the router I would strongly suggest leaving it connected to the router by the patch cable, it is going to save you loads of hassle.

Re: Not getting 152mb
 

Yeah the router is in the living room and thats where I am most of the time, ill just buy a long ethernet cable. although to be honest 50mb wireless suits me as im not a heavy user.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Linksys-AE25...linksys+ae2500

£19.25 on Amazon with free delivery :)

Edit: here is an example of the type of cable you could go for http://www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-Cat5e...lkin+10m+cat5e

If you want a different length just search for "belkin 15m cat5e" as an example and you will get a list of results of varying coloured cable (which makes no difference) from various suppliers. There is normally at least one there with free delivery.

Re: Not getting 152mb
 

Thank you very much

Re: Not getting 152mb
 

As I explained above, if a cheap wireless card is the problem, it's already incapable of getting to the max speed of the Superhub, let alone any higher, you could buy a million £1000 routers and it won't make the slightest difference, so no point even considering buying a separate router. As an addendum, if it's a cheap wireless card problem it isn't always easy to upgrade, since a cheap wireless card often comes in a cheap laptop that doesn't have enough antennas to utilize a better/faster card, even if you were able to fit one. You can fit your own antenna yourself, for very little money, but the task is rather arduous and difficult to get right.
