Is ABE enabled or disabled when you took this test?

ISP: Time Warner 30Mb/5Mb package
Modem: Motorola SurfBoard SB6141
Speedboost enabled

Results are disappointing.   Speeds were faster than ever on the first day of getting this router.  They've been worse ever since.  Netflix streaming is particularly bad.

ABE off
set down as 53.00
set up as 6.20

as you get a little bit of head room so you don't get kicked if you go above 50/6 which is what i pay for
just a tip for other people

so best results from recent update in firmware

And that's on wifi not wired

[FurryNutz]

Very nice...maybe included wired as well for comparison?

Here's mine.  After a couple of reboots my speeds seem to have improved quite a bit.  Still not as fast as the 4500 but alot closer to what it should be. 

All Default settings
ISP: Fios
Modemn: Fios ONT
DGL-5500 on FW 1.01

You Fios customers are lucky bastards!

[FurryNutz]

Post your results sir. 

You Fios customers are lucky bastards!

Finally getting my money's worth on internet I share with family members a few houses down with my brand new ASUS RT-N65U router

Way better results than with the D-Link DGL-5500

[FurryNutz]

Is this still using that bridge? 

[Hunter X]

Yes, same bridge. Only thing changed was the router.

[FurryNutz]

I presume this is a compatibility issue between the 5500 and this one bridge. I ran with a DIR-865L and a DAP-1533 and speeds are good for me.

Yes, same bridge. Only thing changed was the router.

So I've been messing around the past few days with this new firmware update and this is what I've noticed so far.

This picture was taken after installing the firmware and giving the router 12 hours to detect my speeds.


And this photo is what I tested at on the Comcast speed testing site.




After that I went and turned off the Auto Bandwidth Estimation and just entered in speeds around what I should be getting, I'm paying for 105/10 and took these two photos.  As you can see my speeds greatly improved.  I noticed that if I were to enter in 105/10 for my download and upload speed that my speeds would improve a little bit but still not at what I should be seeing.  I found that at 130/20 was the sweet spot at what I was able to get the real speeds that I'm paying for.

Did you follow the FW update process?
