I have vonage phone service and two computers - currently using the vonage device which is essentially acts as a router with 2 phone ports. The trouble is, the vonage device splits the download speed among the two computers and the phone even when the second computer and the phone are plugged in but not actually being used. Is there such a thing as a router with phone ports that does Not do this?

I am at a university where my bandwidth is severely capped. I can start several other computers near me and download at the limited speed simultaneously. Is there any way for me to share the download between the computers to get the cumulative speed?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI couldn't find any details on how to do this on Ubuntu, so I figured I'd share for anybody who needs to do that. I got this adapter from a garage sale, it's meant for use with vonage service, it has a web interface with disabled voice tab, and a hidden voice admin page. My goal was to access (unlock) those pages, so that I can use it with one of the free sip providers.
The main thread on how to do this is over at bargainshare forums, the only thing I'm adding here is how to do it on Ubuntu as opposed to windows:[URL]... I will write the simplist path using typical defaults, if your setup deviates or if one of the steps below fails, please refer to the original guide at this link to sort things out. Important note: the pc used in the procedure shouldn't be connected to the internet. Internet access is only needed to get files, programs and instructions, either before using the pc for this procedure, or through a separate pc.
Adapter setup:Do NOT connect the adapter to the internet especially if it has been out of service for a while. Connect an ethernet cable to one of the lan ports on the adapter and in a browser go to 192.168.15.1, this is the default lan gateway address. When prompted to log in use admin/admin again that's the default First thing needed is to flash a special unlocking firmware that allows the adapter to acquire clear text configuration file (as opposed to the encrypted vonage one). After downloading the unlocking firmware from guide above, go to the Administration page then the tab for flashing firmware. Select the firmware file you just saved and let it flash, you'll be prompted to log in, I used user/7756112 , more can be found in the guide, if successful, you'll get a message to that effect. Now firmware version should be 1.7.02 and voice 2.09 LId Next we need to get the adapter to get our configuration file, create one as mentioned in the guide above, meister_sd method, put the file in a folder of your choice, we'll need to use that as our tftp root folder later Now we configure the adapter to talk to the pc, under the setup page of the adapter set "Internet Connection Type" to Static IP and assign the adapter a static IP address, e.g. 192.168.1.88, then set the default gateway and DNS1 to a static IP address that you'll later assign to your PC, make sure it's on the same subnet as the IP address you assigned to the adapter, e.g. 192.168.1.99, save the changes Switch the ethernet cable to the wan port of the adapter, so it's connected directly to the pc, no crossover cable needed in my experience, turn off the adapter until we setup the pc
PC setup:First we need dnsmasq package from synaptic. This package can provide dns, dhcp, read only tftp daemons, outstanding piece of software. during the installation, it will automatically start with it's default settings. we'll shut it down so that we can start it with different command line options:
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/dnsmasq stop Now we configure the pc to act as a gateway and dns server temporarily, System->Preferences->Network connections , then edit the ethernet interface we're using to connect to the adapter, under IPv4 settings, set the method to manual, then add an address entry with the IP address used on the adapter for dns and gateway, ie 192.168.1.99 and gateway and dns as 127.0.0.1 Now we need to start the dns and tftp daemons:

I have a 18Mg download speed internet connection and surfing the web is supper fast, streaming video is decent, etc. when I go to download a file 100 mg or so really anything my download speed will clime to about 1.3mg and then start dropping and level off at about 32 kb or lower. if I pause and restart the download it will jump back up again for a while and then come back down. if i constantly pause and restart the file will download in roughly the same amount of time as if the connection was working properly.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am having problems with download speeds in Ubuntu 9.10. Downloads start at a healthy speed and then drop to almost zero. This affects apt-get install, Pan newsreader etc. With apt-get install if I terminate the download (with [Ctl][C]) and restart it I get another burst at high speed then again back to almost nothing. It makes updates a nightmare. With Pan newsreader I get high speed for most files but when downloading some of the larger files the speed drops right back to almost nothing after a while. I am on wired ethernet (no wireless). Typically I will get about 1.1MB before the speed drops - although I think it may be a function of time rather than data. I am talking to my ISP via a Netgear FWAG114 router and a NetComm NB5 ADSL modem operating in bridge mode. Although a number of users appear to have experienced very similar symptoms here I haven't found an answer that works.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my Dell Latitude D830 laptop using the Wubi installer. Everything seems to be working fine except for my wireless connection. When I plug in my wired connection and test on speedtest.net I get download speeds of 20MB/second. However, when I switch to my wireless connection, I barely break 1MB/second. I have an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG wireless adapter. I have scoured this forum, Google, everywhere I can think of to find a solution and none seem to work for me. I love Ubuntu but this might be a deal breaker...

Just started getting used to the terminal. but my problem is i am trying to install a game on steam and it is downloading very slow. i am used to getting close to 700 kb/s on windows 7 but on ubuntu 11.04 i am only getting 170-180 max. now i have searched all over and tried to fix it on my own but i just cant figure it out and am getting very frustrated. so if anybody has an idea as to how to fix this it would be greatly appreciated. (have looked through the forum by the way but as i said im new to linux and im not actually sure if im looking at the right things) but im using a wired connection. it says im connected to something called auto etho. and there is something called a loopback connection or something like that.
View 2 Replies View Relatedfrom vuze(bit torrent client) it shows my total download speed to be 20.56 KB/s....while my network monitor tool shows a speed around 72.41 KB/s. Similar is the case with upload speed. In much simple words the download/upload speed that vuze shows appears to be less than that shown by the network monitor tool.I must mention that at the time vuze was running there was no other simultaneous downloads.I don't understand why this is so?Is there any tool that can give me the exact information of downloading & uploading speed or rather any tool that can give me the details of uploads/downloads presently going on.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am connecting from this Ubuntu 9.10 computer to a WRT54G running dd-wrt, over WPA2 AES. Normally, everything works fine and I get very satisfactory download speeds; usually 1.5+ Mbps. Sometimes though, usually after restarting networking a lot, i.e. /etc/init.d/networking restart, the download speed seems to be limited to around 64-70 kbps. It also happened recently when I disconnected from a vpn with vpnc. It's really strange because it has nothing to do with changing any settings.
The only things I can think of are POSSIBLY wpa_supplicant causing problems because that's the only thing besides networking that's restarted. It could be related to my router config but I can't imagine what because it runs so fast normally. Rebooting the router doesn't fix it. Restarting the network, manually killing wpa_supplicant, rebooting the router. None of these seem to fix it. The only way I've found is to just reboot. Obviously, something breaks at some point that isn't affected again by anything but a reboot.
How do I do a download speed test when comparing Hosting Providers?I'm on a Macbook Pro - wondering if there's an ap for this?Also, I have accounts at each provider with a 100mb file, but I'm guessing I'm closer to one than the other? How would I make it fair?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a pretty decent DSL connection that usually gave me about 105KB/second download speed over wifi. The "official" download speed was 1.5 megabits so I should have been getting a bit more, but that's not my question.
I recently switched to Mint from Ubuntu. Now my download speed is significantly slower, to the tune of 45 KB/second. Since the connection runs at normal speed when I connect via an ethernet cable, my guess is that mint doesn't give enough power to the wifi card. Is there any way I can fix that?
as per pytheas22, i'm attaching few details here. my download speed would starts at 470 kB/s and gradually decreases until it reaches 116 kB/s. Loading web pages seems to be fine.

I am working on an embedded system, which is an USB MSC device that supports some vendor specific scsi commands. I am using FC10 laptop as USB host for testing, and it runs some small apps based on sg3. All has been well for ~ a week. The FC10 laptop is able to communicate with the device and retrieve data. Suddenly, starting from today, the laptop is not able to properly detect the device. When plugged-in, the MSC device is detected as input device (I thought). This is observed from "dmesg" output and changes in "/dev/input/".The device under development is running at full speed. When I connect to winXP, no problem. A windows file explorer pops up, showing the content of the drive.Also, the FC10 has no problem with other USB flash drive (high speed).

View 8 Replies View RelatedUbuntu version 10.04. until day before yesterday, everything is working fine but now specific problem arises that is my internet download become 1/4th than usual.
Heres the story: i have internet (LAN) connection of 512 kbps. when i tries to download anything, using (syneptic, firefox default downloader, jdownloader) the download speed i get is 10-20 kb/s which should be 50-60 kb/s. the limited downloading speed is only when i tried to download a file; browsing n online video content play at max. speed i.e. 50-60 kb/s. i m using net speed panel applet to monitor current net speed.
Here is something unexpected: during downloading, when i start a game(openTTD or battle of wesnoth), downloading speed accelerated to max. (50-60 kb/s) but when i close the game, it drop back to 10-20 kb/s. so definitely this isn't the problem with the net.
I m getting 40 kbps speed when i am working with windows but when i trying to download from KUBUNTU i cannot get speed is there any solution for that?
View 1 Replies View Relatedi realised that although before when i had windows7 my relative download speed was around 5.0 MB/s ( i have a 50MB virgin connection)now with ubuntu 10.10 im limited to only 2.8MB/s or somewhere around there.
First i tested my wireless speed on another laptop (with windows 7) on the same network and the speed was as i said around 5.0MB/s sometimes even more. So i thought it was only chrome that i was using at that point.However, this download speed limitation appears in jdownloader as well as in firefox and i guess the whole system.
SO im wondering if there is any way to set up the speed limit on the system and if there is, how should do i go ahead with this change,through the terminal or through preferences?
To back up the virtual machine, the 9Gb file needs to be split in half so that they can burn it to DVD Using lxsplit is pretty simple for me, but these people are completely terrified of a terminal. Is there a simple gui front end for lxsplit so that I can just put an icon on the desktop for them? I've looked around with no success.
Or is there a DVD burning package that splits them automatically? Brasero is on there but it doesn't seem to have that capability. This would actually be the best option, as they wouldn't have to bother with a manual split at all.
It sounds weird but on Linux I can't find a browser that allows to set a download speed limit. I found an extension for Firefox but it works only on Windows. I know the existence of download managers like d4x, wget, jdownloader, etc... but some downloads can only be done by browser. I know trickle too but if I want to change the speed limit I have to 'restart' the command (interrupting the current download). Then I didn't find an extension for Chromium.

View 1 Replies View RelatedBasically the problem is a slow download speed over my wireless connection that does not occur in Windows Vista. The reason I'm so annoyed is that the speed is not constantly slow. It bursts at around 600kb/s (good for my internet connection). The problem is that while trying to download a file it bursts for about a second,then total throughput decreases to +/- 1kb/s for a few seconds, then another burst and so on. Note the file I'm downloading is a http:// download, not p2p or anything. I've attached a screenshot of the System Monitor.
