ok ill try that later on but i doubt thats the problem , you see, just now i tried downloading iTunes from the apple servers, as soon as the download starts the speed was 8mb/s! then it goes down and down and down to 200kb/s,  its like theres some limiter on or something, under advanced network in the router settings, what should the wan port speed be set to?

[EddieZ]

yea but would that benefit me in anyway in regards of speed? i have a question also, in my imac's network settings there a setting called MTU , duplex and speed, mtu is set to standard 1500, duplex is set to full-duplex flow control, speed is set to 1000baseT, are these the correct settings?

Settings are correct, don;t change them UNLESS your ISP requires a different MTU (some US ISP's do)

[lamonsas]

EddieZ , was it good that i disabled the IPv6 in my imac's settings? like i said i think it improved my download speeds,  is it possible the auto lan detecting feature in the router is thinking i have a slower connection and slows down my connection?

could it be DNS Relay is causing this download speed issue? all my wireless components are working perfectly its just that my donwload speed on my iMac is kindda slow.

[EddieZ]

IPv6 can be turned off without a problem, most current routers do not support IPv6 (only tunneling).

That feature can give a wrong reading. But realise that it shows a bit lower speed (explaination is in the HELP section). But if it differs substantially you might want to set it manually. Just give it a try, no problem will be caused by manual setting.

[lamonsas]

well i ipv6 configuration OFF now on my imac.  i mean like i said i downlaoded itunes, the speed was 8mb/s and then the speed drops down and down to around 200kb/s , why is it doing that?

[lamonsas]

guys , i just checked my logs in the router's menu and i have "1931 Log Entries"

This is just the begining of the log, the ip starting with 72 is my IP address, it looks like the router is blocking right? could this be why my downloads are slow?

[lamonsas]

guys how do i fix this?

[Krusher]

Did you try the DNS Relay trick that others have suggested, or upgrade to the 1.32NAbeta09?  I had problems myself and this may or may not do the trick for you...but it's part of the process of elimination.

[lamonsas]

but dns relay was for the ones that had problems with the wireless connection no? 

basically i disable dns relay and then restart my computer right?

[Krusher]

Well, when I had problems myself it was on both wired and wireless clients.  I didn't try to diagnose the problem too much because the 1.32NAbeta09 seems to have fixed it for me.

[lamonsas]

yea but what if i disable dns relay then i will start having problems with wireless, im just not getting my full bandwith speed when downloading files from either torrents or just from firefox, what could be causing this?  what about the logs i posted? do they say anything?

[ozzed3]

The logs simply say that your firewall is working as it should and blocks unauthorised requests.

To disable DNS-relay just uncheck the box and restart the router if it asks you to, and you might have to restart your clients also.

And no, there are no issues with disabling it.

[EddieZ]

There is no DNS relay issue anymore with this firmware. If it causes an issue, I think it is caused by your network config (router/modem/ISP). I doubt that DNS relay causes your problem. Just do a wiki on 'DNS relay' and you will know why this cannot be the cause.

PS: can anyone put me past 100 smites? Looking forward for the Spammed Smite Button Award 2010

All I know is µTorrent works fine on my boxes with router on default setting without any port forwarding for µTorrent.

[lamonsas]

what speeds are u getting with uTorrent on most downloads cobra? like what is the average speed?
