Just wanted to share my experience. Recently, I tweaked my Motorola SurfBoard 3100 Cable Modem and got speeds of upto 1.4 MB/sec. Hahaha, and I'm still wanting more. The more the merrier!! Usually, I always get about 1 MB./sec transfer rates. Downloading is a bit different though. If you want any info on raising your speeds, I might be able to help you. You can email me.

I'd certainly be interested in how you've tweaked your 3100. Mine is fast but if it can be made faster than I'm ready.

I just swithed from DSL to Cable. MAN what a difference!!! 318 to 3800!!! WOW!!! Suppose to be 1500 but I have run as high as 5000!!!

I've got a Linksys BESFR41 cable router and wondered what type of settings you came up with. Mainly, the TTL and MTU settings. I can set them with DRTCP or in the Linky itself.

Scream on~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Everybody, while you cannot tweak the modem itself, the problem in most cases is your PC's settings. If you are running Windows 95 or 98 try adjusting the DefaultRcvWindow in the registry. Go to HKEY_LOCAL-MACHINE\System\CurrentContolSet\VxD\MSTCP Change the DefaultRcvWindow to 32767 then reboot PC.

48. "RE: }}}}} Maximing your speed"
1500 kbps (1.5 Mbps) is nothing. While it blows away dial up, it's not fast enough for me. I had Windows 98 SE two weeks ago, and my cable modem guy used SpeedGuide.net's generic registry tweaks to boost my modem. I was getting about 2 Mbps with the generic registry patches they give.

Well, I now installed WinXP and clocked my speed. All I could get was about 1.0 Mbps until I used the Windows 2000/XP tweak from speedguide.net. Now I'm getting about 3MBPS (that's 3000 kbps!)!!! Talk about smokin! I would highly suggest trying the generic registry tweaks from there first of all, then trying other things.

My 2 cents,
larry

Can you send me the info that you used to speed up your cable modem speeds?

I just switched to cable from DSL and am not at all happy. I am supposed to be getting 1.5 but the best is around 500 Kbps.

Thanks a lot for any help and info....

Hi:
I recently installed a cable modem (Motorola SB 4100) and I was running fine until I tried to hook up my LAN and destroyed my registry settings whcih I have recovered from at this time.
I remember istalling a few patches to get the speed issue resolved when I originally installed the modem, however since reloading the registry software I lost the patch and I am only running at 1,200kbps rather than the 2,300kbps I was running before the problem occured.
I have installed the MTU patch which helped but still not right. The cable company tech support is useless with this problem as I am sure you are aware.
Can someone help me please.
Thanks
