D-Link DI-524 and 20Meg

[link to this post]

Hi,

Does anybody have any tips for optimising the D-Link DI-524 for 20Meg? Over a wire I get 13Mb/s when connected to the router, but if I connect to the modem directly I get almost ~19.5Mb/s.

TIA

Hi,

If memory serves me right (and there may be several revisions of the router), it has a 10mbit port on the WAN side. I used to have one of those, and I'm sure mine only had a 10mbit WAN port which is why I changed router (but of course, I could be totally wrong).

When it works, it's great. When it doesn't, NTL support really suck!

It has a 10/100 port and I've explicitly set it to use 100BaseTX. It probably doesn't have enough CPU power to route 20Mbps between WAN and LAN

Looks like I fulfilled my prophecy of being totally wrong

Nothing new!

I'm hardwired into the router and get the full 20mbit from usenet.
Speedtests always come back around the 10-14mbit mark.
