It says I'm a little over 3 Mb/s, but if I use any sort of program to download an actual file, whether it's a game I paid for on Steam, or just something I clicked to download in my browser, it always hovers around 250 Kbps. I don't know what IDM is ...

The download speed appears to still be around 250Kbps.

Okay, I did it. What now?

The ISP is Bellsouth, I can't remember why I put the aol stuff on there but it's kind of difficult to get rid of sometimes. The Westell is sitting next to a completely unplugged phone, could that cause it? No coiled cables. Also, a Bellsouth tech guy installed this thing that connects from the ...

Okay, sorry for double posting but it doesn't seem right to make the previous one any longer than it is.

I have two or three network cards in my computer (for whatever reason) and I noticed that when I went to netsh interface ipv4, blah blah, it showed the one I was using as having 1400 mtu but the ...

Hmm. I don't see a next button. Okay I guess I'll describe what I'm seeing on the WAN page, only thing I know to do.

At the top there's a drop down box labeled "WAN PORT" and it's set to "DSL ATM PORT," if I try to set it to the other option (ETHERNET PORT 1) it says it will disable my DSL. Under ...

The computer's been directly connected to the modem from the beginning. I mean, the modem's the flat one with a cord that goes to the phone jack and an ethernet cable that goes to the computer, right? A tech guy here once called it a router, but it's the only thing between the computer and the phone ...

Okay, so after several more hours of searching, I can't find the MTU setting on the modem's configuration page; the online manual didn't have that information either. I think I called it a router earlier, not sure if routers are different from modems. Auto-tuning is now enabled.

Some things changed, some didn't. Um, on the first one I forgot to mention I had disabled the auto tuning, I re-enabled it and tried what you said, nothing at all changed, so I disabled it and did it all again. Some posts and comments on the site seem to be saying it's best to disable, others say ...

Okay, I have DSL with PPPoE, advertised at 3 Mbps (says on bellsouth's site that there's a bare minimum acceptable speed of 700 Kbps) but only reaching around 250-300 Kbps most of the time, and it never goes over 400; I suppose I might as well mention that if I open up the Connection Status thing ...
