Here we go again :(

Hi,
Ok i need this sorting  its been going on now nearly 3 weeks ,  its definitely not the router as i have now tried 4 different ones and cant be all  bad ones, my speeds are back down  to 29mb ,  i was using my  TG589vn v3  thinking that could be the problem i set up the 582 with the bt modem  and getting similar speeds again 29mb, i then  just tried  the bt modem  my speeds went back up to 66/67mb so thinking the 582 was the problem was sent a replacement  582  speeds still sat at 29mb , in the meantime i bought myself another TG589vn v3 and my speeds are still 29mb, tried just the bt modem again and speeds back upto 66/67mb  what is going on. Sad

Re: Here we go again :(

Have you tried a different ethernet cable from your modem to your router? Are the speed test's you're running when your router is connected up wired or wireless?

Re: Here we go again :(

Hi chris,

Yes i have tried a different cable am on my  3rd new  one  (cat 6 ) , all tests are wired  as my desktop pc`s wireless is disabled ( on purpose by me cause i hate using wireless personal opinion) . Wireless at the minute is disabled on router till i get this sorted , so no other devices are  using it at the moment,          ( Which is causing problems at home ). I am now on my 4th router, i have bought another  tg589vn v3  as its a very stable router and wireless is much better, but again this has made no change so wasted more money. So i have now tried two 582`s  and two tg589`s  and still getting same results.
Thanks
Andy.......

Re: Here we go again :(

Have you tried using the 589v3 on it's own; so take the BT Openreach modem out?

It might be worth checking your MTU settings - Try having a look here for MTU commands: http://npr.me.uk/telnet.html

That looks OK.
I guess prior to 3 weeks ago all speed tests were OK? Just looking to see if anything changed at that time.
