i have 1.11 firmware, and have a 50 and 3 line but no matter what i do or what settings i use, my download speed at speedtest is always 39 to 40 megs down. Upload is fine. i had abe on, off, manually set 50 and 3..... anyone else experiencing this issue? should i try to downgrade to firmware 1.10?

is the router purposely holding back bandwidth in case it is needed elsewhere at another time??

I'm seeing 50/3 on mine...what happens if you set 100/10? I was told there is a small portion of fudge factor however it should not be drastic...

[cmartell1978]

i seen on here not to put 100 and 10 because the router will think you have more bandwidth then you actually do thinking it has room to spare to provide bandwidth to other devices

Please test 100/10 out...I've used this as well and it's to use this setting.

10megs is a lot to lose I suspect there's something else going on as I've never seen the router hold back that much bandwidth.  ABE for me sets it slightly above. For example my connection is 25/5 but ABE detects 28.8/5.85.

I would try setting 100/50 just to test but not leave it there.  What device are you testing the speeds on? Windows OS?  Were you getting the full 50 megs before this router?

Also are you testing from speedtest.net? I know I've have to tweak my NIC in windows to get the full bandwidth out of my modem.
