Hi

My adsl line is 35meg, if i dont use the draytek 2930VN router and just use the modem, i get 30-35meg on the speed test. If i connect the draytek router to the mix the line speed drops to 20meg at best 15meg most of the time.
i've tried the tests from different PCs and get the same results. line speed is hitting 30meg+ without the draytek.

I haven't tried another router but would like any1s thoughts on this - Driving me insane !!!

The line is an upto 40meg 21cn FTTC with AAISP

2930 should definitely cope. I have 38Mbps FTTC and 2820VN plugged into the BT openreach modem on WAN2. That gives me full speed up/down on wired lan and a couple of meg less on wifi down to about 20M average (with a good signal, WPA2 & a following wind, for which read: I don’t trust WLANs)

Since 2930 has a slightly higher spec that 2820 for the most part, I would expect yours to work fine.

QoS settings????
BW Limit settings????

Thanks for the reply.

ive got a bandwith setting limiting one server but disabled it. removed all settings short of a full reset which i may try next.
tried disableing the firewall and tried the modem through WAN1 and WAN2 - still the same

I'll go back to basics, and start a fresh and see what that brings. The router has 70mbs throughput so im sure it can cope with the FTTC and its good to know yours works on the FTTC service.

Turn off QoS because that can limit to ~10Mb sometimes. Also try increasing the MTU? if I recall correctly, AAISP can use an MTU of 1500 with the FTTC service.

And look at the hidden QoS telnet / ssh commands: -

adsl rxpct
adsl txpct
