Hi,
I have a DIR-855 which is connected to a DSL-526B ADSL modem. The modem is configured for bridge mode. I am on an ADSL 1 connection with a total cable distance of 246m. Speed test shows a download speed of 19228 Kbps.

I use free download manager to schedule, manage and accelerate downloads.

My ISP has an off peak of 2am - 8am.

When downloading between these times I get terrible download speed varying wildly between 0bps and 135kbps, occasionally spiking over 135k for a second or two.

My dir-655 has litterally thousands of this message in the log...

[INFO] Sat Apr 09 07:57:53 2011 Blocked outgoing TCP packet from 192.168.1.1:1581
to 69.16.169.20:80 with unexpected acknowledgement 1141416955 (expected 1141438556 to 1141521500)

What do these messages mean? Are they telling me there is a problem with my configuration or hardware?

Yo sure you have a 855 or a 655? If you have a 855, please post this message in the 855 forum. Thanks

[Yanta]

Damn it!! Silly slip up.

DIR-655, not 855.

Is QoS enabled?
DNS relay enabled?
Primary and 2ndary DNS IP addresses filled in under Setup/Internet/Manual?
Advanced DNS Services disabled?

Any 3rd party firewall SW installed on the connecting device?

[Yanta]

Is QoS enabled?

Yes. Auto-detect connection type. 923kb Uplink speed, no QoS rules defined.

DNS relay enabled?

Yes.

Primary and 2ndary DNS IP addresses filled in under Setup/Internet/Manual?

Yes, these point to OpenDNS.

Advanced DNS Services disabled?

No. IIRC a previous post of mine last year had a response of turning off Advanced DNS services, though I don't recall the exact reason.

Any 3rd party firewall SW installed on the connecting device?

The only softwares are OpenDNS updater, Java Updater and MalwareBytes Realtime monitoring. However, I have tried disabling MalwareBytes and it did not make any difference.

Also, when I do a speed test I'm getting 19226 Mbps. But downloading anything rfrom anywhere else I'm getting really bad speed. Sits on 0bps for minutes at a time.

[FurryNutz]

Try disabling QoS and set DNS to ISP DNS addresses to test temporarily.

Hi Yanta,

I am looking at the Outgoing IP Address in the log you posted.

I would say to do a Factory Reset on the D-Link Router, in place.
Use your Wired Computer to manually reenter all settings, but don't change the IP Address of the Router itself.

D-Link looks at the IP Address of the Router to automatically configure the Date and Time settings in the Router. It looks for 192.168.0.1.

Ok, have done that. Didn't help.

I disabled the OpenDNS updater. No change. Then tried a different downlad manager. No change.

Tried the who thng on a different computer, running windows 7. The download speeds were considerably better, even with QoS on and using the OpenDNS servers.

The only things left are Coldfusion services, Firebird Services and the OS itself.

But if its fine on one computer, and not on the XP machine, is it safe to say that this is not a router issue?

I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve here. I would prefer to keep my network as 192.168.1. There are 15 devices here including printers, PCs laptops and PS3's

Are you saying that th router cannot maintain the right date and time unless it has a 192.168.0 network?

[FurryNutz]

the LAN IP address of the Router can be anything, doesn't exactly have to be a 192.168 address, can start with a 1 and up to 192. I've seen single digits, like on mine, some people use 10. Some people use 172. The Lan IP addresses on a home network are not bound to certain addresses like the WAN side. It's just what is recommended and used for general home use.

If you looking to configure the date and time, why not set a manual time server like: time.nist.gov.

Basically, you need to start over. Turn off all devices. Make sure the router and modem are connecting well. Test with one wired PC. Leave off all the others.
Setup static IP address on the router for the one PC. Don't get static IPs on the devices.
Turn off all QoS.
Use ISP DNS to test first.
Do some speed tests with and with out the router.
Once you establish that you get good connection and speeds with one PC, turn the next device.
Graduate this until you can get all going and working well.
Save off the configuration to file. Build your self a working configuration file.
Then go back and start tweeking and playing with openDNS and other settings.

Hi Yanta,

Why change the Router's IP Address, initially from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1, in the first place?

I am saying that the D-Link Router can't maintain a correct Date and Time from the D-Link Time Servers, if you continue to use 192.168.1.1. The D-Link Time Servers are looking for 192.168.0.1.

You can set the time manually from the computer, but it can't be set automatically, using an IP Address of 192.168.1.1.

Call D-Link Support and ask them for verification.

You can make the internal IP address whatever you want.  I run 192.168.10.X scheme, have for almost 4 years now.  I used the DLink NTP servers and they won't be looking for the internal address when responding, they will respond to the public IP address just like all Internet communications does.

Hi davevt31,

Out of curiousity, why did you change from the default IP Address for the Router, to the one you are running now? I have always gone with the Default IP Address, since I saw no reason to change it. I use Static IP Addresses assigned by the Router itself, instead of setting up of Static IP Address on the computers themselves. The Devices get a Static IP Address from the Router. And if required by the Device to be programmed with it, I use that IP Address, instead of using the Static IP Address of the Device.

[davevt31]

My original router's (Motorola) default was the 192.168.10.x scheme.  I have a networked printer that had a static of 192.168.10.10, so instead of going around and redoing all the PC's printer settings I just changed the 655 to a 10.x scheme.  I use reserved DHCP for the printer, a Wii and my desktop.I have two other systems that I don't reserve.  I also changed the addressing scheme so it only goes from 192.168.10.2 - 11, with the 9,10,and 11 set as reserved.

The internal scheme is just that internal, technically you can run any IP address scheme you want.

Sorry. I dont understand why we are talking about date and time. There is nothing wrong with my date and time. The original post was about terrible download speeds.
