Superhub : 200Mbit coming soon? (According to a survey)

and nowhere have I said that you needed to log into the router. My instructions clearly indicate that you need to go to the router's ip and click on router status. It isn't ambiguous because 3 other forum users have followed those instructions recently and had no issues at all.

I did think of "bonding" mine but it would require a lot of Resources to pull off, I've done it before on slow DSL lines and it worked reasonably well but it tends to be CPU intensive on faster connections, prob need X86 boxes at each end.

Then of course there's the bandwidth requirements at the end doing the bonding, It would be doing ~378Mbit/s in + 378Mbit/s out (excluding overheads) depending on how the bandwidth is billed and how much your provider charges for bandwidth usage that could hurt.

I'm currently running my ASUS RT-AC68U in Dual WAN mode with two incoming ISP circuits. The router doesn't bond (bonding routers are damn expensive).

Later today I'll set rules as to which of my two wired computers associates with which ISP circuit. Then we'll see if the two simultaneous speed tests show max for each circuit.

I don't bond - it's load balanced. The only application I use that will utilise full bandwidth is Usenet - there's 30-40 connections that go across both connections to get the full speed. So a single download goes at full speed.

I wont pester VM to get 200meg soon.

This is via wifi

Sorry, didn't mean your instructions are wrong - but this confused me when first saw a SHUB1, the cable status screens are not available when logged in! After logging in once and rummaging around then subsequently let browser auto login you can't find the screens!

@Hom3r - are you also on trial 200 config, it is difficult to get faster with wireless, despite what marketing hype about wireless speeds say!

[Gavin78]

I don't see the rush in getting to 200+ speeds at the min nothing actually needs it

I am not on a 200Mb trial, yet I get 160Mb/12.4Mb on WiFi. Admittedly that is in the same room as my Asus N66U.

BTW is anyone in Coventry on a 200Mb trial config?

[mmm]

I have a feeling this 'trial' is spreading do follow this advice to check your config

Many wifi users, or those with their own older routers, or 100Meg wiring/ switches will not notice....

I am a trifle confused as I just did a speedtest and got the result given below.
Looking a the modem configuration shows

Primary Downstream Service Flow SFID 73056
Max Traffic Rate 337920000 bps
Max Traffic Burst 10000 bytes
Min Traffic Rate 0 bps
Primary Upstream Service Flow SFID 73055
Max Traffic Rate 16128000 bps
Max Traffic Burst 16320 bytes
Min Traffic Rate 0 bps
Max Concatenated Burst 16320 bytes
Scheduling Type Best Effort

You are blessed with being a trial user of 300/15. They'll take it away in due course - it's just a trial to see how your area stands up to these sort of speeds.

The Max Traffic rate shows the 300/15 + 10%.

Is that all clear for you?

[arcimedes]

It makes sense as they still haven't changed the number of my upstream channels to be more than one but I've given up on that one until something goes wrong.

Why on earth would they want to be stressing non-upgraded areas?

To me that's almost incomprehensible!

Igni will no doubt be onto this shortly.

There are no single upstream areas, must be an issue there.

I'll let VM know - this will both potentially cause issues in the area and skew results.

Okay - you definitely shouldn't be on a single upstream channel. That is not acceptable and is not the correct architecture, it's a fault that should be fixed.

Pleased Igni could be of service!
