I can look at it now if your still away. Can we send attachments through Dlink PM?

Hello,

For the past few months i have been having rather slow download speeds on my dgl 4500.  Modem to computer i get 15mbit down and 4-5mbit up. Modem to dgl 4500 over wired and wireless i get 3-5mbit down and 4-5mbit up.  Im on 1.23na FW and have no clue.  Any help would be appreciated

I experienced slow speeds a while back after I upgraded to the current firmware but loaded a configuration file from an older firmware.  To correct this I did a factory reset on the router, flashed it with the latest firmware, did another reset and re-entered my settings.  Then speeds returned to normal. 

Are your devices on static IPs that you manually entered or did you do it using the router's DHCP feature.  The later is the way to go.

Did you test while every other device was off?  I've seen an infected PC slow down a network.

I had problems when i used static ip so i went back to dhco. Im going to try that now in regards to the firmware and re enter the settings manually. I will report back shortly, thanks.

Everything is fixed.  I called cox after the reset/re enter all values didnt work.  They informed me there is a router that is messed up somewhere and directed me to azspeedtest.cox.com and the connection worked fine there.  I tried a server in san jose on speedtest.net and it confirmed everything.  There is a messed up router somewhere, but its not mine =)

Thanks everyone!

Huh? Could you explain? Wherent you using the same test hardwired to modem that you used connected to router? A bad route wouldnt cause a problem just with your router in place, it would effect the test with or without the router.

I was but apparently from what the cox hsi rep told me the router is very off and on.  They are still trying to locate it.  I guess i got really unlucky when i tested via modem > laptop and via router > laptop as they were within a 5 min window.  Shrug.

Hmm. And a T1 tech told you? DId he have you do a traceroute? If not I smell BS. Not from you, but from the rep. Not that he is wrong, but I doabt he would know such a thing. But it works, thats the important part I guess

[kaine13x7]

Not a traceroute but i did a speedtest on azspeedtest.cox.com and also chose a server west of me in cali instead of one in arizona on speedtest.net and both tests were 15+mb/sec.  The router acting up is most likely in phoenix, may or may not be on cox's network.

i guess one weak link really can bring the army to a halt.  Owell

[Hard Harry]

Oh yea, I wasn't doabting it happens, just...neverming. LOL. You fixed it. Congrats.

Kinda odd that a router elsewhere would be hosing up his connection. However if it's hosing up his connection, it's probably messing up everyone else on the same line too.

Could just be on the route from his ISP to the testing site. That I see all the time with those tests. I can sometimes get faster connections to JAPAN then I can get out some of the servers in Ohio, don't ask me why, but yea. Speedtest.net is known for having all kinds of constintly problems..its just the standard because its easy to use and pretty. It over simplifies, and even misrepresents, the truth most of the time though.
