Full Signal Crap Speed? -finally a solution

Its really not about signal
-- Signal means you got connection where you place you UTD or your arial in the signal area effects your download rates ...
and also whether you have a near enough basestation...

Try every place possible in your posie using different heigths ect
Needed:
Long ethernet cable
Long power extention


1. Only look at signal reading to see if there is signal
2. Run a large download using a multithreading app that displays a graph like flashget
3. Move arial / utd around monitoring speed of download and giving each place at reasonable chance
4. An alternative to speed test is a ping test...
Run ping -t 196.30.31.100 -l 1
Move UTD/arial to obtain lowest ave ping ie try get below 100ms all the
time. If not possible then try neva to get values over 500ms

New mtu settings (generic and given by helpdesk)

ras mtu 1352
adapter mtu blank
rwin 255555 (ie max possible)
win scale on
timestamp off
select acks on
path MTU discovery on
blackhole no
max dupli acks 1
ttl 64

It helps when they put up new basestations (in my case)
 
yeah, well as long as you find your sweet spot, with pings or speed it should help
 
Listen i dont think that the signal has to do anything with the speed...Coz i have all the time full 100% signal on the UTD and the Terminal as well without the leds to go up down...the signal is almost 100% stable and i get speeds maximum of 500kbps during the night and 200kbps during a day...
Well here is my comment...Think about it and figure it out....I think the base station has to do more with the problem than our signal and UTD....:D
 
yeah that frame error rate is important and of course no congestion on your tower helps too
 
Slim bro my frame error rates goes about 2-30% sometimes that yeah i can say its stable it always goes up & down....How about ur error frame rates?

you dont want frame rate errors going higher then 10%. if you getting frame rate errors up to 30% look for something in your direct area that might be interfering with your signal. dont be fooled by full signal. you want interference free signal too and unfortunately the only tool one has to measure your interference at the moment is that silly usb thingy that comes with iburst...
 
Read the top post makedon
--- if your frame rate goes down your download speeds go up and your ping lowers.

Don't worry about frame Error then just move UTD/arial around until speeds are good, otherwise call wbs and arrange for them to come do it for you (they actually have ppl now doing this).
