Now days with most networks being switched and the quality of the 'media' there is really no reason to stick at 1500 because of the quality of the kit even a home user has now days it is less likely (fewer collisions and mall formed packets) that a 9000 byte frame will need dumping and re-transiting. My understanding was that 1500 was chosen due to the quality of the lines and equipment at the time and if an error occures only 1,518-bytes would need to be re-transmitted. I could defiantly benefit from these results īut I'm having a little trouble getting my firewall to support it, even though I'm confident the hardware is capable. VOB files and HDTV streaming so feel I could benefit from the larger throughput and better CPU utilisation due to there being less encapsulation and de-encapsulation of frames.

I’m sure someone just came up with a number figuring that would be plenty fast enough.Forgive me but I am running (1Gbps+) and I am well aware of the benefits of running Jumbo!

60Mbps download speed! I find it very odd that by default the router is set to limit downstream bandwidth to 16Mbps once you enable Media Prioritization. I changed it to 1000000Kbps and turned Media Prioritization back on. I clicked it and saw an entry labeled Downstream Bandwidth and it was set at 16286 Kbps. Then I noticed there was a settings link to the right of the on/off button. So at first I figured it was a bug in the firmware. I turned off Media Prioritization and ran a speed test. I had turned on Media Prioritization for my computer because I kept getting disconnects on a game I was playing and figured it might help. I agree and he is on his way while I find the box and receipt for the $300 router I just bought a few months ago.īefore going through the pain of returning the router I decide to do a quick google search and I find this: He then plugs the modem into the router, power cycles the modem and connects his laptop into the router. Anyway, he proceeds to do a speed test with his laptop plugged directly into the modem and gets 60Mbps! Ok. That’s a good bit of info I should have been told earlier. He explains that with that modem you have to power cycle it whenever you change what is plugged into it. I explain that I tried that and couldn’t get an IP address. He then goes and gets a laptop from his van and comes back. He checks signal on the cable and that is good. He sees the modem (surfboard 6120) and says it’s probably not the modem. The tech comes out and figures it’s a modem problem since he’s seen plenty of them in this area. Everything is right next to each other so it’s essentially the same as plugging into the modem. Finally I connect the modem to the router and plug the laptop into the router and run the test. So I grab a laptop and plug into the modem, but I can’t get an IP address no matter what I do (different cable, release, renew, etc…). Finally he asks if I can connect directly to the modem and run a speed test. He even asks if the modem is connected to a surge suppressor or extension cord (wtf?). We go through the standard stuff of power cycling the modem and router. Time to play the fun tech support chat game with Comcast. A quick speed test and I’m getting a whopping 16Mbps download?

I follow the instructions to power cycle the modem, then the router and blow off rebooting the PC since I know that is not needed. I have performance internet which means I should be getting 25Mbps download speeds. Comcast recently doubled my internet speed according to an insert in my bill.
