oh man i ment to say its on a WIRED connection(my iMac) , i edited the post above.

[lamonsas]

something is hurting my download speed, i ran a test on dslreports and i got 11mb/s download,   my problem tho is that when i download a file even in firefox, the speed is not what its SUPPOSED to be, i know approximatley what the speed should be  because i download from the same websites and with the old router i had higher speeds,  it must be the router, what setting in the router could be limiting my downloading speeds?

its also obvious in torrent downloading, i always used to get 1.5mb/s for download but not its no more than 850kb/s.

The QOS engine could affect speeds.
Advanced > QOS engine

[lamonsas]

what should i change there?

[ozzed3]

Just turn it off completely by unchecking "Enable Traffic Shaping" And restart your router. I am also having issues with this router and torrents except mine freezes every 24h or so.. And I noticed that turning off QoS helps in stabilizing things a little bit.

[lamonsas]

no mine doesnt freeze at all, its been rock solid, i think i figured out what the problem is , at all times, the 655 is holding some bandwidth for a possible wireless connection, im just guessing here but thats what seems logical to me. so basically ill never get a full download speed on the iMac as the 655 is saving up some bandwith for a potential wireless connection such as if i turn on the PS3 or xbox 360..   Could that be?

[lamonsas]

anyone please?

[ozzed3]

No. that is not how it is. First of all, that's not how TCP/IP or any other protocol works. And I have wireless turned on, yet I get full speed when the router does work. QoS on the other hand messes with bandwidth to make sure "high priority" packets gets through. Try turning QoS off and let me know how it changes things, if it does.

[lamonsas]

but u dont understand , i WANT QOS to be on, thats one of the reasons i bought this router, which feature is it thats limiting my download speed like this ? QOS? which setting in QOS's menu ? there are a few there.

[lamonsas]

guys i have a question, in the FIREWALL Settings menu, is this what the NAT Endpoint Filtering  should be set to:

UDP Endpoint Filtering:  ADDRESS RESTRICTED

TCP Endpoint Filtering: PORT AND ADDRESS RESTRICTED

thats what its set to, are these the correct settings?

[lamonsas]

also under the QOS menu i get measured uplink speed 512kb/s, is that a good result?

It should be reflecting close to the speed you get from your ISP for upload.

[lamonsas]

guys, i really dont know why but now when i run a speed test on speedtest.net or dslreports i get a maximum of 2.5mb/s for download, i didnt chnage any setting i just disabled wifi protected setup, why is it not measuring my full bandwidth anymore?

[lamonsas]

ok guys i tried disabling QOS completely by ticking of traffic shaping and the SPI(the firewall setting) too but i dont know for some reason my speed seems to drop to around the 200kb/s and it didnt help the problem i am having with bittorent too,  

guys but why does my speed tests show me only 2mb/s download now? it used to say 15mb/s   could it be my time warner cable modem is defective or something?

If you updated your firmware you might have gotten a bad flash.

You can try this.

Save the configuration file to your harddrive

Software reset the router

Hardware reset the router

Reflash with the same firmware you have now

Software reset the router

Hardware reset the router

Load the configuration file again.
