| slow download
Hey everyone,
I've the Elite speed (up to 6 Mb) with AT&T.
When I connect with the Ethernet cable, I get 550 to 620 Kb/sec.
My problem is When I connect wirelessly, I get between 180 to 240 Kb/sec.!! 
I have Westell Proline and U.S Robotics wireless router. I tried both the normal connection mode and the bridge connection mode; it did not matter.
I should mention that I had the same problem when I used the 2wire DSL modem and router.
Please guys go easy on me, I don't know much about networking.
Thanks |

| Very common problem. Usually, it's fixed by increasing the RWIN setting in pre-Vista versions of Windows - a TCP/IP parameter. Requires editing the registry, but there's a site tool for it.

1 edit | As mentioned in the FAQ I linked:
Use the DSLR Tweak Test measure the current setting. »/tweaks
Use the DrTCP tool to change the RWIN setting. Bigger is usually better. 68,000 or more. Trial and error may be needed. »/drtcp
Also, as mentioned in the FAQ, there are several factors that can affect speed. Interference with the wireless signal is common. Try changing the channel, the position or orientation of the router. |
