View Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 I have a modem (SB6120) that Speedtest.net clocks my downloads in at 115.5 Mb/s and uploads at 22.7 Mb/sWhen I connect my modem through my router (Netgear N600), Speedtest.net reports downloads at ~90Mb/s but uploads still ~22 Mb/sI'm not having a heart attack at this negligible difference, however, when torrenting, there is a big difference.When plugged in directly to my modem, I got speeds of about ~100 MB/s, as uTorrent's setup guide reports. When plugged into my router, the number drops to about 70 Mb/s. I'm happy to know I can still share with others as my upload speeds stay the same, but is there any way to maintain the same download speeds as if I were connected directly to my modem?I have forwarded the listening port, UPnP is enable, automatic port mapping is also enabled. Windows 7.If anyone has any ideas, I would love to hear from you.Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Considering that NAT is a firewall all to itself, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
