Thats probably due to this:

so is it going to cause issues because I manually set the value higher?

[FurryNutz]

Shouldn't, no. It's the Automatic UPlink that has this limiation on 2Mb UP link speeds. If Manual is set, the router should work at the higher up link speed.

I'm right on the board with this one as I'm at 2Mb on my ISP and they don't offer anything faster.

I do know that the newer DIR series routers from the 645, and the newer L series routers have higher preset UP link settings unlike the older routers. I guess at the time, there wasn't any or maybe there way some forethought about Automatic UP link speeds since at the that time, average users only has about that much from there ISPs. Now everyone is going well beyond that and not sure if DLink thought about that or not. There is some debate on if the cap is really needed or not. Over all, for those that have more than 2Mb or and higher UP link speeds, and your using a older generation router, disable Automatic UP link if users are seeing problems.

I'll update the stickies this weekend. Raining here so not much to do beside do some gaming.

Cool.

Hopefully it works out because I did not do any gaming last night. Been feeling pretty good about my setup until I was getting such a unbalanced wireless connection. Kinda weird that for no reason I was getting faster upload than downloads.

They adjusted my modem and in turn the router proceeded to freak out.

weird thing was that power cycling the router didn't fix the issue. Had to change the wireless reboot and then change it back. Couldn't get the upload speed to work correctly until I manually set it after the router freaked out. Which was weird because it was set to automatically work and it seemed to be working and then it just went completely opposite.

Sure has been nice having Open NAT though

I have Cox for my ISP with sustained up load speeds of 5meg, however my line has speed boost and this is what my 4500 measured once when set to auto uplink

However I use my sustained speed of 5meg and enter it manually so QoS can work how it is supposed to.

Drunkjug,
I am happy your NAT issues is resolved!   Also use this program to get your true upload speeds and enter shaping value in the manual upload box so QoS will work correctly.

XS,
I tried running that program and I am not sure if I got it right or not.

I am not sure what in the world is going on with my Wi-Fi connection. I have to set my network up for 2.4 Ghz N and G.

I am getting faster upload speeds than download and no matter what I do I can't get it to work otherwise UNLESS I switch to 5Ghz wireless N and at that point I can consistently get around 60-70 Mbps down and around 20Mbps up.

It is worth noting that unless I switch to 5Ghz N my speeds are all over the place. The only constancy on anything other than the 5Ghz is the fact that the uploads are always faster than my downloads.

Pulling my hair out over here....again

Drunkjug, please make a new post and thread for this wireless issue please as you have moved the problem from the OP. Thank you.

[DrunkJug]

no problem. I was wondering if I should do that or not.

I am going to continue to try and solve this. If I can't figure something out I will start a new post.
