garbspam Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Hi guys,i could use some professional experience and support here.I have wireless router D-Link DIR-615 and i have correctly forwarded the porton my router. I have done it several times in other routers of mine and my friends.Strange thing is that i have Green Tick Box on the GUI but when i test the portthrough the speed guide, it pormpts me error.Result: Speeds are not going more than 50kb/s on a 4MB internet connection.My friend who is living in Europe gets 700kb/s on a 1MB line. :-(Thanks in advance for your help guys!

Switeck Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Don't let the bandwidth/speed units confuse you. A 1 megabit/second line maxes out at 128 KiloBYTES/second theoretical bandwidth max.Usable speeds may be as little as 100 KiloBYTES/second.Someone says a 1 megabit/second line can download at 700 KiloBYTES/second...isn't really talking about a 1 megabit/second line.

garbspam Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Hi!Thanks for the very comprehensive and analytical post references.I will try to read them all :rolleyesHowever, do you have any idea or assumption on what exactly may have happened?The port is forwarded normally in the router, the green tick box is therebut the port testing prompts an error What the heck is going on? I am so confused Thanks man for the reply once again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 The port test may only check TCP.Some routers need separate port forwards for TCP and UDP even though they claim to allow both in a single forward entry.Your ISP may be doing some 'funny business' to your line.Who is your ISP?
