10Meg - Not on my router!! :-(

Llawnroc · 15-11-2005, 17:18

Got upgraded yesterday to the 10meg service. Called customer services and a great lady on teh other end upgraded me.

The problem I have is this, I've got my modem (HTL HOME200) plugged into a Belkin Wireless Router (F5D06230). How when I run my connection through this I only get a maximum of 3 Meg down but 0.5 Meg up. If I run my machine direct to the modem I get full 10Meg service.

Anyone got any ideas why this might be happening??? I would like the full service on my router, I'am going via a wired connection.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Are you sure that the router model you gave us above is correct 'cos googling doesn't find anything on it.......

Llawnroc · 15-11-2005, 17:25

Oops, got carried away with the zero's!!

Should read F5D6230-3

i have the F5D7230-4 router haven't been upgraded yet, will it be able to support 10meg?

Couldn't find anything on the Belkin website with your model number?
Going to belkin USA, found a firmware update page, link here:
http://www.belkin.com/firmware/#2

But, be very carefull DON'T apply it, as the last digits differ to yours, maybe best to call belkins main support numbers, 00-800-223-55-460 or better still, 01933-352000, and seek full advice before you do anything.

i wouldnt apply a US firmware to a UK router unless they tell you that its ok. I did that to my Linksys and had all sorts of problems with my print server

Thanks!

when you ran it through the router was it hard wired?

Llawnroc · 15-11-2005, 23:21

Sorry, been watching TV, how time flies!!

Yes it is a direct wired connection to the router. yes, I've downloaded the latest firmware. yet it still eludes me why this is happening.

Thanks for the responses guys, appreciate the comments!

I suspect that the WAN port on your router may be set to 10 mbit half-duplex.
Last night I swapped my Netgear RT311 router to a Buffalo because the RT311 would only support 10 mbit half-duplex.

The Buffalo (cannot remember model no. off the top of my head) supports 100 mbit full-duplex, but was only configured 10 10 mbit half-duplex until I changed it.

I think that this might be your problem too.

Beardsley: That seems to be the common consensus talking to the network guys in the office, they've also said that the four ports for the LAN connection might be a basic hub and not a switch, so this would cause issues as well!

Time to look for a new router!!! :-(
