Long story short, the Westell wi-fi DSL modem router box that came with the the service craps out every couple days. I bought a new Acrtiontec GT701D to replace it and installed it in bridge mode. The Actiontec works great for a few days, much better than the verizon POS, then the bandwidth gets throttled down to a meg per second.
Do I need to tell Verizon I have a new DSL modem?
Bought a DIR-601 for my sister and her kids for their home. Setup and works successfully. Sis asked if there is a way to give her laptop bandwith priority over the kids devices. As is, they are all sharing limited DSL bandwidth. Reading the manual, I see the QOS feature for specific types of traffic, and other limiters and schedules to shut out certain MAC addresses entirely. But wondering if this throttling feature exists in the router also.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI think that my ISP is throttling my bandwidth at the modem . how access full available bandwidth.When the technician installed the fibre optic line and then the modem, he showed me an amazing 77MB/s (about 600Mbps) before the modem!!But after the technician left these were the test results after the router:
1) SpeedTests.net:
averages, after router, show: UP between 56/60Mbps & DN 45/75Mbps
2)Local Server Speed Test:
average: UP 45Mpbs & DN 170Mbps
A Japanese Internet savvy guy explained that NTT East throttles the available bandwidth at the building by specific apartment/modem settings related to individual contract bundles. I signed up for the top bundle: TV, Phone and Internet connections.This is my Hardware/ software setup:
OS: Win7,
Line specs:
Line type: IEC60874-14
Connector type: SC
Core across: 9 micrometers
Clad across: 125 micrometers
ITU-TG-652
NTT East fibreoptic TV/Internet/Telephone bundle (100Mbps best effort) Hikari Next Family Type but 10Mbps is considered within parameters
Asahi ISP Internet contract
Modem:
GE-PON (WAN+Coaxial TV antenna)
"SCM-GE-PON-<H>A GV-ONU D<1>" model
Router:
RT-S300HI (4 Giga ports + 1 phone)
Router & Modem have Japanese firmware which I cannot understand and, according to the NTT East, I must rent both modem and router from them and "will not support any other modem/router setup".I could not understand if it was because of technical or contractual limits.
I have tried to test my throughput after the modem but I could not figure out where the DNS, IP, WAN etc strings of numbers should go and, in the end, I simply cannot connect to the internet from my laptop directly to the modem so I cannot perform the same speed tests after the modem.
Had this router for few months working fine, than the modem was slow for our house so we got a new modem called Actiontec Model#GT701D. And we did the Set up but the Internet doesn't work anymore. If we connect the modem to Pc, it works but connecting modem to router it doesn't receive Internet. Another problem wad that for the DIR655 to work we needed to connect another router before DIR655 connected to modem, so we needed to have an extra router to get the DIR655 to work.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a wireless router that can throttle per device. That is, a specific internal IP address can have a specific upload/download speed limit assigned to it that the device cannot exceed. I'm not looking to allocate bandwidth priority or block a specific protocol.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAlthough this is not a common issue, we have experienced occasions where our internet utilization has been maxed out (slowing everyone else down). Utilizing some features in the ASA, such as Top Usage Stats, along with PRTG monitoring, have always tracked the culprit down to being a single user -- be it someone downloading movies to a portable device, or downloading ISO's. (And for some strange reason it seems to always be a wireless user.) We are using an ASA 5510 for our firewall, and I was wondering if its possible to prevent a single client from consuming a disproportionally large percentage of our internet bandwidth? If the ASA 5510 doesn't have the ability to do this on it's own, are there any recommendations for add-on solutions?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have 110mbps internet service. When we have the 5505 behind the cable modem, our speed drops to 55mbps or so. If we remove the 5505, we see the full 100mbps. I assume the 5505 can handle the speed; if so, what other things should I be looking at?As an aside, we used to have 50mbps wich worked fine, then the ISP upgraded to 60mbps and the through put dropped to 30mbps (It always seems to be half)

With the BEFSR81Router conected I get 1000kbps.
I have a Linksys WRT54GS router that I have installed dd-wrt on.My household is overloaded with wireless devices, and living in a home of 6, speeds for everyone seem to slow down drastically later at night when everyone is simultaneously connected and streaming media -- whether it be Netflix, YouTube, etc.. My typical speed wired to the router with no other connections is around 25 mb/s down and 1-2 mb/s up.Obviously, it's going to slow to a crawl when we have an iPad, 3 iPod touches, an iPhone, a Wii (playing Netflix) and 4 PCs all connected simultaneously.What I need to do is give my personal computer priority and throttle all other devices. So that I myself will have decent speeds while hampering all of the other household connections. I rely on those speeds for my job and that should have priority over my brother watching music videos on YouTube.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have Verizon FIOS. I am using their Actiontec router. I turned on WPA2. All is working well. I wanted to turn it off to diagnose a problem with one device. I can see no way to turn it off. To turn it on you click WPA2. you put in an 8 digit "password" etc and it works. There seems to be no way to turn it off. Am I overlooking something? I tried deleting the password. but it gives you an error and remindes you the password needs to be 8 characters.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have verizon fios 35/35 and i am told i have to run there modem/router combo for the tv ge to work properly. I have two ps3's hard wierd to the provided router, and one laptop running wirelessly. The problem is this: when the two ps3's are playing call of duty at the same time, whichever ps3 that was turned on first shows it has an open NAT type and whichever ps3 is turned on second shows a moderate NAT type (this makes them unable to play together online). I am familiar with prot forwarding but not sure if i can do this for two separate ps3's. So i hard wired a second router to the old router and ran everything out of the new one. Only now they are both a moderate NAT type. Ive played around with the UPnP settings, but dont really know what else i can do.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI use Bit Torrent to trade Grateful Dead concert recordings (all legit trading). I have Verizon DSL, a Westell 6100G Modem and a Linksys WRT 160N V2 Router. The Modem is located at 192.168.1.1 and the Router at 192.168.2.1. In the router setup page I have properly forwarded and triggered my ports. However, when I visit my torrent site, it tells me that I am firewalled or "NAT". I used to have the Linksys WRT54G Router and it was configured to PPPoE and everything worked fine. One day I did a firmware upgrade on the router and it would no longer connect to the internet. I switched ti to Automatic Configuration - DHCP and it connected, but performance was slow and this NAT issue began. I eventually got the new router and I have the same problem. If I set it to PPPoE, put in he username and password, I lose my internet connection. If set to Automatic Config - DHCP it works, but, again, "NAT".
Verizon told me that this newer modem self configures itself as PPPoE and there is no need to set the router to PPPoE but I can't seem to get these ports forwarded or get around this NAT issue. It is causing a significant loss of performance and while torrenting I can not connect to others, meaning I can not share what I have downloaded (the torrent client won;t upload). I have been screwing with this for months and have spent endless hours on the phone with Verizon - Linksys says my router is out of warranty so they want $39.95/month for tech support.I have been working with the tech support team on my torrent website and they can't get it figured out either.
My internet connection was lost and after calling Verizon, they talked me through adding a different isp address. Now my internet works, but when I went to my D-view cam (this is where the daily footage is stored for security camera DCS-930L), I can't make the connection. It says COM1 is not working. I know the camera works through the wireless router, but somehow the connection between the camera and the D-view cam doesn't.
