Does anyone run a HP Microserver on 120Mb+ and able to get full speed?

Mine seems to max out at 12MB/s but averages around 10MB/s in sabnzbd.

Anyway to improve this?

12MB/s is ~100mb/s - So you haven't got a gigabit interface somewhere along the line most probably.

Microserver is connected directly to Asus RTN66U router via Cat6 cable and remote desktop into microserver connection status is 1.0Gbps.

Speedtest.net goes to 126MB/s although is not consistent, usually bounces around 80-90MB/s.

In the router config page it is showing LAN 2 is running at 1000 Full duplex which is the port my microserver is connected too.

if its just a re-tier in speed with no price reduction then there is no new contract.
They do re-contract if you need new equipment so might as well ask for a price reduction. £5 off for 6 months is available to most as a minimum.

Relations(Retentions) is option 5 and then option 3.

Mine, on a superhub 2 in modem only mode connected to a linksys EA6500 over wifi to my macbook air.

Well my connection hasn't been good at all since getting the early upgrade from 60Mb to 100Mb.

My current TBB monitor:

Upload speed is correct, but the download fluctuates between 20-70Mb. Apparently others are experiencing the same issue.

Someone is coming out this Saturday to take a look.

Why is my graph completely red (showing 100% packet loss)?

This may be due to firewall settings or because your IP address has changed. If you have a firewall, ensure that it allows ICMP ping. You will also see 100% packet loss if the address we are monitoring is disconnected from the Internet

You need to check superhub setting: http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping/guides/routers/virgin-media-superhub-vmdg480.html

Will check when I get home. Probably is that, although someone on another forum has the exact same issue.

I deleted my old monitor and made that new one, so the IP address should be correct.

However, the tech support guy did restore to factory defaults (without asking me ), so you're probably right its just a setting.

 

[jh30uk]

It is that setting, by default on SH2 you need to change it.

I only have the SH1, but I assume its still the same issue?

Forgot to set remote access on after they restored to factory defaults, so can only check when I get home.

 

[jh30uk]

Should be but I never ran that meter when I had SH1, only after I got to test the SH2 for VM.

 

[mrk]

No wonder the Superhub v1 is so shocking, I opened mine up today and found a pile of **** inside!

 

[jh30uk]

You never seen the mod to give it better antenna?

The stand ones are a joke.

 

[mrk]

Bottom left on the inside, that iis one of the 2 aerials. LOL?

Yeah you could install a new antennae very easily but the wireless quality is the least of the v1's problems

The whole v1 is a problem! I enjoyed ripping it to pieces.

 

[jh30uk]

@ 5min 4 sec is the antenna

 

[mrk]

I already knew where it was and that wasn't why I destroyed the v1

Blimey cor me, You be in serious trouble, this superhub belong to virgin media property!

 

[mrk]

Oh no!

 

[LewisStuart]

I clicked to "supercharge" my broadband to 152mb and the're sending me a superhub, I assume I'll get a V2 by now? Will be going in modem mode anyway.

 

[Duke]

Yeah doubt they send out V1s now.

 

[Rensin]

Yeah doubt they send out V1s now.

received a refurbished SH1 a couple of weeks ago ... also included plenty of scratches and dust free of charge

 

[mrk]

They can collect it from the bin if they want it, it's not even assigned to anyone's account

Might need a new PCB and capacitors...and everything else
