Still with the low signal, huh? Contact me via site IM, and we'll exchange email addresses. I might be able to talk you through the loop resistivity test on your RX cable

I too have experienced very slow connection speeds and speed tests. I am baffled by what is going on here when I pay so much for service. Having said this I have a HN7000s modem and have been with tech support several times to no avail. They have told me I have an open Port and it may be a virus causing this. So I will address that. The bottom line here is that we are not getting what we pay for for whatever reason. It could be that they are "throttling" or any other number of things. I don't think it is my equipment and if it is they should support getting that straight also.

I have a technical background but not familiar with all the terminology. So, if it is not a bother could people that post here and are in the know give more concise instructions and explanations to us newbies. We promise we are paying attention and will contribute when we can.

Thanks

Can't tell any difference in operation. It does seem that our signal strength has gone to hell today (57 vs. normal near 70) but I don't know that this has anything to do with the new firmware, nor do I care until/unless it affects speed or connect-ability.

I can say with confidence that the HN7000S modem upgrade I did this year (over the DW6000) has been a huge improvement with respect to operation in bad weather conditions. I used to lose signal if it rained at all but now it takes a thundercloud overhead to knock us out.

That is relatively small, and doesn't show in usage.

A huge Vista SP2 at 345MB has been hitting a lot of people, but of course that would stop when you turned off your router, and definitely would FAP you if allowed to run.

9000 spaceway III, 7000S SatMex 5 990, Dlink wirless]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22457079 Thu, 28 May 2009 10:12:25 EDT Re: [HN7000S] New Software Release http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22442740 wa5sox1 : Well, lots of changes over the past 10 days. First, the Inroute Group change to 31 and 41 (from 11), then two nights later the new software. Everyone keep an eye on your Inroute Group to see if it changes with the new software, or a day or two prior.

Thus far, I'm not a happy camper with the change. Transmit errors wayyyy up from the 0.01% I used to have. Sometimes, in diagnostics in the five minute windows, it says 6% loss. The loss seems to come in "bursts" .. sometimes browsing with no loss, then out of the blue 300 or more failed transmissions.

Another change I noted a few weeks back is the Firewall, in the System Info said "Enabled", but clicking on Firewall revealed it as "Disabled". Now it says:

General Config Bad fragment check: Enabled
Ifc Validation Check: DISABLED
Management IP Address: 10.XXX.XX.XX
Under Policy Stats:

ACL Statistics
--------------
ACL is Enabled from the NOC Side
Total num of valid rules: 2
Total num Packets Received: 2859329
Total num Packets Dropped: 0

So, I'm hoping they "fine tune" things, as browsing is sometimes Very sluggish, and I am getting "Marginals" and "Bads" where I always had "Good" in Diagnostics. Don't think it's anything on my end, as all these changes seem to correlate with the time I started receiving so many Nak'd transmissions. (Edit): Timing applications are suffering. And, when doing online transactions, I sometimes encounter difficulty. At this time, until things improve, I'm afraid to do any business online.

Here's my stats, and they ain't pretty. The loss percentage is just the average. As stated, the five minute windows have shown as much as 6% loss.
