Not getting right speed on one pc

Post by jbrdbr111x »

Ok so I got Time Warner cable had them for some time. I upgraded to the wideband service 32mb down, 5mb up. I received a Ubee DDW3611 Modem/Router combo.

I was reading about maxCPE 1 and heard it should be more, but can't change it.

Anyway, my wife's pc was connected to setup the service when the "tech" came out, then they left so I plugged my pc in.

Mine was CRAWLING.. they claimed it was just my pc and said I was dumb and left.. Yeah those techs are arrogant..

I was talking to a friend who walked me through disabling the internal router on the Ubee and I hooked up my personal Belking Surf N300 and got it to load faster and all, but still only getting half the speed my wife's pc is getting.

I've tried changing Ethernet cables, resetting the network, calling cable for about a total of 11 hours in the past 2 weeks and I gave up talking to them, same old (we'll reset it from our end, because we don't trust you did it right)..

before the upgrade to the new modem/service, we had 7mbs down, 0.37 up and BOTH my and my wife's pc got that full speed, and actually 15+mb down even though we were paying for the 7mb plan..

I really think there are some settings between the Ubee modem/router combo, and/or the belkin that I now have hooked up that may be causing the issues and all.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

well you can click at the top of this screen under Broadband then Broadband tools to see the TCP Analyzer.... and google search for "Hijackthis" to download, install and copy/paste the results here.

hmm ok, don't see much there other than a few useless toolbars installed.

What speed package you pay for? Can you post a http://www.speedtest.net from say you're computer and you're wifes to compare?

Most of the time my wife's pc is pulling the full 30-32mb down and 5mb up, Mine never reaches that right now, most of the time I'm under 20mbs down..

The problem is not in the line as one comp can get much more than subscribed speed.

Probably difference is how the browser is reacting to speed boosting feature of the ISP.

But I'm also having gaming issues as well, latency as high as 100-300ms higher than my wife's pc with the same hardware/software and settings..

what games? Those speed tests are fine to me but so far I don't see any issues that stand out. What about drivers..have you made sure ethernet drivers for starters are updated? Also how is you're computer and you're wifes connected to the router have you switched out cables? Also could try resetting the router - should be a little reset button on the back to hold in for say 10seconds to do this.

World of Warcraft, Call of Duty MW2, etc.. We're both connected via hardwire, I've tried swapping for her cable, and even replacing my cable and still see no visible change.. The thing is, is that before we upgraded to the cable Wideband 32down/5 up , the old modem with my current router worked perfectly, but we just needed a little more speed as the old package was 7mb down, 0.30 up.

When they initially did the install, they setup the Ubee combo modem/router with ONE computer, which was my wife's, when I hooked mine up mine just crawled so I spent like 6 hours on the phone with a friend that walked me through bridging the Ubee so I can connect my old router and that made things work much better, but still not like before..

I've recently updated my drivers and noticed no change in that as well. I hope it's not going bad, but the odd thing is that it happened the day they changed the equipment. I have 2 phones with wireless and before the switch, I got the full 7mb down on each of those as well, after the switch I'm lucky to pull 9mb down (I know wireless you won't get the full speed compared to wired, but that's pretty low to be under 1/3 of the speed)..

Edit: Here's a typical speed test from my pc

Image

The one posted the other day was a rare speed, but my wife's pc is nearly consistent all the time..

And here's a pretty consistent one of my wife's pc..

Something is just wrong with you're computer then.. not sure exactly what cause that's a hell of a drop in speed but the pings are fine however you've tested on two different locations one is Herndon VA and the other is Richmond VA..can you test same locations at the same time say in the morning post those and then again around 9pm?

Perhaps the comp needs a driver update for its network adapter card to match its operating system.

Already done that, what should I have my speed and duplex settings on, and my transmit and receive buffers to?

Speed & Duple should be set to auto, and buffers set at default.

Then test at this site: - http://nitro.ucsc.edu/

If there is duplex mismatch, set Speed & Duplex to 100Mbps Full Duplex.

Also post those speedtests from both comps at the same time at same testing locations if you can.. love to see them compared like that. As for settings have you messed with them in the past?

I'll post them in a bit, yes I've changed settings ever since cable upgraded and things haven't been going great, I haven't noticed a difference in anything I've done thus far though..

buffers are 160 each, is that any good?

I'm really not sure.. sounds like something is corrupt with either a driver install or with the OS from some application which is difficult to pin point without sitting in front of it.

If you don't have much on it to save I'd format the sucker and start over...download and burn a ISO of whatever version of Win7 you're running to avoid the reinstall disks with junk from you're OEM like a Dell disk that installs all that free trial crap too, grab all the drivers you need and put them on a USB key prior to doing this and it shouldn't take but a few hours.

Mine are set for receive - 100 and transmit - 50.

These buffer settings are applicable between the NiC and the comp, and will not influence buffer for the internet connection. TCP window or Rwin is the set buffer for the internet, and in Vista and Win 7, is autotuned by the OS.

yeah something ain't right - you just need to reload the OS or else you will sit here and fight it and miss out on what you pay for.

OK I completely reformatted, reinstalled Windows, and drivers. Getting a tad better speed, but still quite some latency and jitter..

Still about 8-12mb less than my wife's pc still though = (

Onboard Network/Ethernet hook up or are you using a PCI card?

Well whatever is going on seems to be with the computer, cable, or the port on the Belkin router.
And might be a silly suggestion, but have you tried swapping ports on the Belkin, like changing it from, say, port 1 to port 3 maybe?

Try going into your LAN's properties, then click 'configure' which should in the upper section of that window on the right-hand side; click the advanced tab'; check where it says 'Speed & duplex settings'. What do you have it set on currently? It should be on "Auto Negotiation".

If all else fails, your on-board ethernet link may be faulty somehow. You'll have the purchase an PCI network card (you're best to get a 1 Gbps card to future-proof yourself).
