Terminal Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Ignoring the fact that router config addresses vary between manufacturers and may have also been changed by pre-configured routers supplied by ISPs, and also ignoring the fact that these pre-configured routers often have the default passwords changed (and if you find yours is still admin/password or a default variant, change it immediately) that's not a great test as you are only testing the sync speed between you and your isp exchange equipment with zero packetloss or packet headers, and without any ISP throughput limits or control systems and isn't going to be indicative of your expected connectivity speed. It's kinda like measuring how fast you can travel down a road by flying in a plane rather than using a car which has to account for traffic lights, road surface and other cars on the road. And cyclists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right ok, sorry for trying to be of some help, guess I should haave known better. Anyway, for anyone not suffering from superior moderator complex, the advice is for MT customers using a netgear router which is probably a large percentage of ISP and router combinations. For those with different combinations I'm sure google will give you the ip address etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, you really are a pretty sorry excuse for a moderator, more like a spiteful little child who was bullied at school. Has growing up ever occurred to you as a life option?

ans Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Look, I get that you're cross that someone pointed out how woefully useless the inept "help" you offered was but perhaps you'd be better off posting about subjects you have a vague understanding of. Although looking at your recent posting history I'm at a loss to guess exactly what they would be other than being an internet toughguy. Good luck!

llap Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 My broadband is useless. It's about 500k per second at its fastest. Always has been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llap Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 That is WiFi though so maybe the router is the problem and I'm being unfair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha, please don't flatter yourself, and you really should stop digging now as once again you've made a complete prick of yourself And the only ''woefully useless and inept'' advice as far as I can see was when someone said ''hey ans, you know what you're talking about, why not become a mod?" I can agree that you're at a loss though, in fact you're a fucking dead loss. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llap Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Back to the actual topic, I had a mess about with my wifi router and seems someone had moved it against a mirror. I have moved it a bit away from it and directed the pointy thing away from the mirror. It seems to be running a lot quicker now. Now I just need to fix the ugly reflection the mirror is emitting.

This is a cracking example of how the problem is usually nothing to do with the isp! So many things impact on the wireless round your house and so many people refuse to accept that and blame the ISP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
