zombitroid Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 When I set my bandwidth, do I put in the speeds advertised by my ISP, or the actual top speeds that I can get on speedtest.net? Because I know that my isp advertises 20 mb download but I can only get like 16. What do I put in, 16, or 20?

I enter the speed thats being pushed to my router, i go into the router GUI and get them there.
lukasz Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 I have done speed test .net testing like 5 times in a raw and picked up avrage numbers and to be honest with you i have never look back.
lukasz Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Oh yes i forgot as i am runnig 100 mb connection in order to get good speeds via my R1 I needed to disable 'Deep Packet Processing in settings section
zombitroid Posted June 17, 2015 Author Posted June 17, 2015 Ok. I think I understand now. I will put in my advertised speeds of 20 down .89 up, even though I get 20% subtracted from those numbers on speedtest net. Thanks guys for your help, I didnt understand this before.

zombitroid Posted June 17, 2015 Author Posted June 17, 2015 So lukasz you just use the speeds on speedtest.net? you dont use the advertised speeds?
Zennon Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 I do not know why it is said to put your advertised up to speeds in that case it will not calculate right when you pull the sliders you will not get 70% of your speed etc if you do this. It is just been repeted I am not calling any one out for saying so I put my real world speed test in so it works to best of it's ability. I pay for 80/20 but get at the moment 55/17 it would be crazy for me to put 80/20.
zombitroid Posted June 17, 2015 Author Posted June 17, 2015 Ah that clears it up. That makes way more sense. You never get your full advertised speeds so you cant put them into that bandwidth page. You have to multiply your ADVERTISED speeds by .8 to get what speeds you are really getting.
lukasz Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Yes like Zen sad i put what i get form that testing not what is advertised as thats usuallt folse
RADDY1993 Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 I did not say advertised speeds i said speed that my router is getting which is lower than my advertised speed just encase some of you got confused. No hostility intended but just wanted to clear that up lol.
Zennon Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 It was not you that said it raddy Like i say i do not blame anyone for saying it as i see this being said quite often one of the developers so it just being repeted. It does not make sense to me to do this though.
bagsta69 Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 I fell foul of this a few weeks ago and in the end to get my figures I plugged in my old homehub router with no R1 connected and did several speed tests at speedtest.net. Unplugged the homehub and plugged in the R1 and put in my figures from there.
