i'd try the following recieve windows with a MaxMSS of 1460 and MaxMTU of 1500.

64240, 128480, 256960, 373760
* all multiples of your MSS

also if any of these dont seem to work well try

cap x 1024 / 8 = optimal rwin ( this is only a theory that ppl use)

1500 x 1024 / 8 = 192 000
* this is ...

make7upyoursman

I thought the formula to find out the best recieve window for you was to multiply your cap (in my case 3000) by 1024 then divide by 8.

cap(3000) x 1024 / 8 = 384 000

thnx for the help morbidpete but http://192.168.100.1/ doesnt work for me cuz i have a TeraPro TCM 200 and its non-docis but thnx for the website http://charterpipelinentx.net/.

Do u know how i can check what my modem transmission levels?

make7upyoursman

Is there a way to check the RX and TX transmission levels of a cable modem as well as the dB value?

make7upyoursman

thnx for the insight

make7upyoursman

For a Non-Docsis Modem besides Cable Modem tweaking is there any way i can improve download speed ie. hardware ( by this i mean switching a capacitor on the cable modem etc)

I have a TeraPro TCM 200

make7upyoursman

which non-docsis cable modem provides a better downstream

TeraPro or Lancity?

Is there any to improve modem performance via hardware ( i mean switching capacitors on the modem's motherboard to say a 75pf-100pf variable capacitor etc)

make7upyoursman

AznStyl if you have Telus or another phone company near you check out the adsl prices because for 55 bucks a month were i live i could get 2500/640 adsl from Telus.

"It's possible you needed to power cycle your modem and that is what the power outage did."

Could someone please put this in Lamins Terms.

make7upyoursman

could you put that in Lamins Terms please.

make7upyoursman

i just experienced a poweroutage for a about 10 mins, when I got my power back my cable modem online light went red for a minute(not normal) then all the lights kept flashing green (flashing green for my modem is normal) and when just the online light turned green i tried downloading files to see if ...

make7upyoursman

its probably your tranmission frequency its probably to high or to low, get it check out by a shaw technican, cuz I had the same problem and I got it checked out and now my modem goes as fast as it did the day i got it 300k+, for you it might be faster cuz there might be less people on shaw in your ...

make7upyoursman

im getting a technican to come over today and see what could be wrong with my internet.

make7upyoursman

the same thing happened to me, I suggest calling up Shaw and talking to a technican and get them to come over and check out your connection and check out your modem and see if anything went wrong with those, and if not get them to check your cap(upload/download) maybe someone has put it to low ...

make7upyoursman

Im in Richmond,BC and I had Telus and it always went down so I switched to SHAW and had it for a month and it hasnt gone down yet, but the plus to getting Telus is that if you pay 54.95 a month you get 2500/640 which is on average probably faster than SHAW.

make7upyoursman

make7upyoursman

I have had SHAW for only about a month now and during the First 3 weeks I was downloading at 266 - 400 kbps consistanly (during high traffic times and low traffic times) and the last week I've been download between 70 - 200 kbps, I called the cable company and their going to send a technican down to ...

I wanted to know how to change TX and RX values because I heard at a website dedicated to increasing shaw cable internet performance they say that if I change me Tx value to 47 and the Rx value to 5 I will have maximum modem performance for my TeraPro modem. Does changing Tx and Rx values actually ...

make7upyoursman

I mean I can only find the TX

make7upyoursman

because I can only find Rx

make7upyoursman

so what is the TX and RX called?

make7upyoursman

I would like to know how to change my Receive [RX] and Transmit [TX] levels to an RX of 5 and a TX of 47.

Note: THIS IS NOT CABLE MODEM UNCAPPING IT IS SIMPLY CHANGING THE FREQUENCY WHICH THE MODEM RECIEVES AND TRANSMITS. IT JUST PROVIDES BETTER MODEM PERFORMANCE.

make7upyoursman

I have done the SG TCP cable registry settings but my
Unscaled Receive Window stays the same. After I test my TCP/IP settings I got the following

MTU = 1500
MTU is fully optimized for broadband.

MSS = 1460
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1460, which equals MSS.

Also try tweaking your ethernet card adapter by doing the following

Early Tx Threshold: 60
Link Speed/Duplex Mode: 10 Half Mode
Link-up Wake up: Disable
Network Address: Not Present
PME Enable: Disable

NIC TCP/IP

Disable WINS Resolutions

make7upyoursman

try this

http://members.shaw.ca/MarvinMiller/

but dont put on the proxy.

make7upyoursman

actually thats no true on shaw@home i've seen ppl transfer at 550k+

make7upyoursman

go into your control panel then click on network then select your NIC TCP/IP go to the WINS Configuration tab and make sure that Disable WINS Resolutions is selected.
