SpeedTest E3000 50 percent SLOWER when I connect the PC directly to the Modem cable

Hello

My ISP is Comcast and I've recently updated my service to have up to 50 MB speeds yo and upward at 10 MB.

My router is the E3000.

When I connect my PC directly to a cable modem and perform a speed test (www.speedtest.net), I get 61 MB download and about 11 download fairly regularly.

Now when I use the router configuration to connect my PC to the E3000 and then run the speed test, I get 50% LESS!  So, my download is on average around 30-31 MB and my upload is 4 to 5 MB.

In fact, I thought it was the E3000 and went out and bought a Netgear and got the same results.

In both cases, I have updated the firmware to the latest version and I also updated my PC to the latest drivers adapater.

I even tried to manually set the MTU to 1500.  Nothing works!  It is still 50% less achievement when I connect through a router.

I expect a bit of slowdown during the connection through the router, but certainly not 50%.  And, Yes, 50% is consistent.

Any ideas on what could cause this 50% slower?

Thank you!

Well, I agree on that. Speedtest.NET is not accurate. I don't even use it to measure my speed of internet connection.

If your connection is 50Mbps, then you should get 6.2MBps more or less of download speed. It is normal that you get at least 80% of your download speed.

I think that there is no problem at all with your connection.

  • Cannot get signal when you connect the TV to HDMI port.

    * Original title: HDMI Signal

    Hello. My nam is Kieu. I have a problem and and we hope you guys can helo me. I just bought a Gateway desktop all-in-one computer and tried to connect it to the TV via the HDMI port, but I could not get signal on my TV. Help, please.
    Thank you very much

    Hi David,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum!

    According to the description of the problem, it seems that you are unable to get the signal when you connect the TV to HDMI port.

    I will certainly help you with this issue.

    Here are some steps that you can try in order to solve the problem.

    Step 1. First you need a video cable to make the physical connection. For a better image quality, you need to connect the computer to the TV using standard VGA ports or via DVI to HDMI Cable provided your TV supports these ports.

    Step 2. Open thedisplay settings' ' in your Vista computer and Activate the output to the TV screen. You can reflect the content of your computer on the TV or extend the display as a double screen control.

    Step 3 Pick up your TV remote and switch to "External inputs" in the menu. You need to change the value by default "Video 1" to a different selection which may be "HDMI 1" or "video 2" depending on how you made the connection. "

    Important: Make sure you connect the cable to the TV before turning on the computer, because sometimes it may not recognize the external display.

    You may also change the resolution of your TV screen using the display settings in your panel of control remains the image may appear distorted.

  • Windows 7 and bios sees not the hard drive, but when I connect the hard drive to the USB with an adapter, I see directories and files

    Please, I need pc

    Original title: windows 7 and bios does not see the hard drive. but when I connect the hard drive to the USB with an adapter, I see directories and files... Ive a hp Pavilion, what to do?

    Check the BIOS for hard drive setting.

    Make sure that you do not connect the drive to a SATA/RAID port.

    Old IDE drives - check the jumper on the drive (use "Cable Select" as a starting point), the BIOS must also be set in legacy/compatibility/IDE mode. Note: If you currently use the AHCI mode, then switch to IDE mode may cause Windows to boot.

  • Problem with TC loss of connection to the modem cable

    I have a TC of 2 TB which is connected to my ISP provided by cable modem. It worked fine for 3 months after the installation in December, but now all of a sudden it will lose its connection to the modem and we lose our wireless internet. We have replaced the modem cable and it does not solve the problem. I have to reset the TC 2 - 3 times a day. Nothing else has changed recently with regard to the network set up. that only changes were to specific devices that use the wifi connection, and this was always something changing, depending on the devices we use. Any thoughts? I'm not a savvy person tech, BTW.

    We need to ask a few questions in order to learn more on what the possible cause of the problem might be.  Please be patient with this. Thank you.

    What is the number and the model of the modem you are using right now?  We ask because some modems work better than others with Apple routers, and even if you have changed the modem, it could still be a model who does not get along well with the Apple router... or... you could say that the router from Apple does not get along well with the modem.

    How old is the TC? We ask because the life expectancy, on average, a time capsule is about 3 years.  After that, they tend to start losing connections to an ever-increasing rate.

    Who is your provider of Internet (ISP) Service?  We ask because most suppliers are in the active process of implementation of a new type of connection called IPv6 in their systems... and despite ISPS claiming that their system changes should cause no difficulties connection or interruptions system... which doesn't seem to be the case at all.

    We have seen an unusual number of reports from users who suddenly have problems with their ISP connection, when things were very well for many months before. That points directly to the IPv6 changes that ISPS are doing as the culprit. In some cases, there could be way to work around the problem, and in some cases, there is nothing to do but wait as the ISP to complete their changes and be everything to speed.

  • Planning to get a plus the HD antenna. How can I connect the coax cable to my STR-DH820?

    Hello

    I'm trying to free myself from the grip of DirecTV expenive.  I'm looking to well reviewed on the air such as the Clear Stream 2V or 4V HD antennas.  How would connect the coaxial cable from the antenna HD to my receiver STR-DH820? Currently, DirecTV coaxial cable runs in the DirecTV DVR, which then has HDMI output in the DH820.  My Sony S590, PS3 connects to the 820 and I have a HDMI going in my Sony KDL-55HX729.  Thank you!

    I did a little research... Looks like I have connect the coaxial cable to the TV antenna input and the "Digital Optical Out" in the "TV digital optical In" 820 receiver.  I can tune the channels of sound with the TV remote control and select 'TV' on the STR-DH820 to switch the sound of the home theater.  Does this sound right?  Seems a bit of work, but if it works, it is better than $100 a month from DirecTV!
