speed difference


[link to this post]
 
Hi,

I have a BE ADSL2 connection.

There's a big speed difference between my two routers. The "bebox" that the ISP provided gives me approx 11mbps, but the Safe@Office box I have, which I use for VPN connectivity only seems to peak at about 8mbps.

Any ideas?

Here's the WAN config of the safe@office box:

>show net wan
wan:
mode eoa
gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
netmask 255.255.255.252
password xxxxxxxxxx
username xxxxxx
pptpserver undefined
pptpclientip undefined
pptpclientmask undefined
pptpservice ""
pptpgateway undefined

externalip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

staticwins enabled

are you talking about the data throughput here or the sync speed ? If the former, is this via VPN or on a straight connection.

I mean the data throughput, using speed tests.
No VPN.

I think so - the Safe@office doesn't actually list a connection speed.

Hmm. The most obvious candidate is that one is connecting at 8M with G.dmt and the other is using ADSL2+ at a faster speed.

Without the connection speed we would be guessing.

The Safe@Office is configured for ADSL2+...

What am I missing...

OK, new question then. How do I determine the connection speed on a Safe@Office 500W?

time to RTFM or ask the support.

does it have a 'show dsl' or similar command ?

Hmm.

As far as I know, the only config available is in the original post.

The nearest I've found is:

>show net wan uprate
uprate unlimited

>show net wan downrate
downrate unlimited

But I suspect this relates to the bandwidth management, which I believe is switched off.

Support has been poor - I think they intended these routers to be provided by ISPs, and don't want much to do with them now they're in the wild.

I guess they should have re-badged them!

I'll go through the manual & release notes again, but I don't think it's covered...

it's in the CLI ref manual, as one would expect.

info adsl parameters

you could try

set port adsl trellis enabled

which may help the speed. Also

set port adsl standard adsl2plus

is worth a go

manual here

I think i've pretty much chenged every adsl setting available now, though I'm obviously hacking away blindly.

Whatever i try, the TX won't go over 7104...
