Hey all, long time no post. Still can't believe OT conversations about nothing is still going on...
Anywho, I recently moved and ended up with a different comcast service level, but had been using the auto uplink speed. Well I was seeing just under 1Mbps on speedtest.net and realized I needed to look at that setting. So I connected right to the modem and could get about 4Mbps, and thus changed the manual setting to that and now everything wired or wireless measures at the 4. Thought this may be useful to others. I think this has been discussed before, and I think I went through this before too.
On an very slightly sad note, in moving and packing myself I just tossed this router in a tub that I moved myself but was slightly overloaded, and must have slightly bent it and now half the OLED display doesn't work. It looks cool but who actually uses that anyway...

4500 abuser! :P

Good to see you, ZK. Sorry about the 4500. You'll probably just have to get an 857 to replace it! ;D
-
i been thinking about upgrading to something with a little more... umph. it seems my 4 year old 4500 is getting a pounding these past few months, whatever you get, please share you experience.

Only the screen broke, the router is fine otherwise. If I did upgrade I've been thinking about the Asus Black Diamond, but I can't say that my router is a bottle neck so what's the point. Plus in this new place I think
I can replace the phone jacks with ethernet jacks, as the cable is cat5. So screw wireless!!!
-
I would get CAT 6 if you can. Also you might check out the DIR-857. GOOD router. ;)
-
Yeah it's already in the walls, I'm not redoing that!!
-
So is the router working good again?
-
I never said it wasn't working, just the uplink thing, which was fixed with a setting. I only broke the OLED display!

Enjoy.
