Hi, I have been using a 2600we for 6 years. Clearly its gweting a bit old and unsupported. My work got a 2820n and I borrowed it this weekend to test.

I have found that with like for4 like settings the 2820 is much slower on the upload.

2600we down 6.31 up 0.41
2820n down 6.3 up 0.29

Thats much much slower on then upload. Anybody else done anything like this. At the moment whilst I live the feature improvemts on the 2820, I am not going to buy one if its 25% slower up.

Any thoughts anybody?

I am using btinternet

for ADSL the 2600 has a much better modem. Only really worth using a 2820 to get 8MB+ ADSL2 connectivity.

sadly the wifi on the 2600 is not soo good. The influx of bthomehubs knocks my wifi for 6. adsl2+ is a while off for the majority of the uk.

The 2820 is set to not use full upload speed by default I think, if you access the router through its telnet interface and enter
adsl txpct 100
adsl rxpct 100
That should increase the speeds so they'd be about even.

Just spotted your post Voodle - You might just be my saviour! Can you explain a little more. As I have desperate LAN to LAN problems with the speed on these routers and I think it must be the upload speed from the server office.

I was seeing the same problem on my new 2820n and I've run the commands above and now my upstream has jumped upto the max the line can support! Excellent, thanks for the tip

The one thing I'm unsure of, are the telnet commands permanent or do you need to do anything to save them before exiting the telnet session?
