| Does that your router support TCP window scale and TCP ECN? Try pull router out of it and do directly connect it since that you have configured 1MB buffer and try it to see any improvement without using router?

1 edit | said by Ikyuao :Does that router support TCP window scale and TCP ECN? like I said earlier in my previous post so please reread my previous post... Forgive me but I do not understand what those functions are nor what they do. No need for the wise-ass crack, I'm just asking for some help.
I checked the datasheet and specs for this router and do not see either of those options/functions listed. |

| Please try direct connection that your computer between and your FIOS connection to see what you getting download speed and upload speed of result you gets without router? Since you have configured your TCP stack for 1MB buffer as such a RWIN buffer.

Let's start here and see what it does ....
Download DrTcp
Set Tcp Receive Window to 256960
Set Selective Acks, Path MTU Discovery, Black Hole Detection to Default.
Leave Max Duplicate Acks and TTL Blank
Using the drop-down menu in The Doctor set your NIC’s (Ethernet adapter’s) MTU to 1500.
Save/Exit DrTcp
Reboot
Rerun the Tweak Test
Run Two Speed Tests from the two DIFFERENT cities nearest to you that are listed here: Speakeasy POPs
Also, test here »ftp://ftp1.optonline.net/test512
Note your transfer rate after about 30 seconds. Then cancel the download.
Post the URL for the New Tweak Test. For the TWO Speakeasy Tests, Copy and Paste the speed results from those tests and note the speed from the FTP download test.

If you get no joy with the above, let's try a different method.
• Download CableNut from here »www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Netw···ut.shtml
• Use the settings in the picture.
• Save, exit, reboot, and retest.
• Rerun the Tweak Test
Run Two Speed Tests from the two DIFFERENT cities nearest to you that are listed here: Speakeasy POPs
Also, test here »ftp://ftp1.optonline.net/test512
Note your transfer rate after about 30 seconds. Then cancel the download.
Post the URL for the New Tweak Test. For the TWO Speakeasy Tests, Copy and Paste the speed results from those tests and note the speed from the FTP download test.

Since you have configured your TCP stack for 1MB buffer as such a RWIN buffer. Okay, without the router the speed is right where it should be... 26/21. So it's obviously something with my router (DGL-4555).
Any suggestions? |

If that your router isn't doing any good job of handling a speeds that is real problem is your router but not your TCP stack configuration problem... If you aren't happy with router hardware handles a speeds then I may suggest that finding very good firewall software for your windows OS so you may have to test the firewall software at »https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 that is for firewall testing to see if that firewall application is still allowing echo request and echo reply packets that you don't want that ICMP packets going inbound to your computer.
My Linux computer box with Iptables firewall is very,very good firewall packet filter that i write the script of iptables firewall packet filter to customize my suit needs
