Hi,

Following are the details of my internet connection/plan:

Plan: HOME UL 750
Modem: MT 841
Connection: Wifi from MT 841 modem to my laptop
AV: McAfee 8.7
Speed Test url: speedtest.dataone.in:83/bandwidthmeter/initialmeter.php

I noticed from last couple of weeks that in the mornings till almost mid afternoon, at least till 3 pm, I get really bad internet speed.. lesser than 150/100 kbps. After that the internet speed is decent.

Normally, I wouldn't mind getting that speed for some part of the day if it gets compensated later. But I am getting a bad feeling that from some point this is how it will be for ENTIRE DAY.. so I thought I should ask.

Did any of you experience this symptom? If yes, is this normal or curable?

As a sidenote/question:
1] The speed test done using the URL given above should give me internet speed irrespective of how many users have connected to the modem using wifi right?
2] Is there a way to find out if there are any other machines connected to MT841 modem through wifi?

ANY help is welcome!

Thanks in advance,
-Neel.

u answered ur own question, BSNL cant give u bandwidth in peak morning hours, the reason is lots of users are using and traffic is so high, this shows solidness of BSNL network.

I use UL 750 and Nokia Seimens C2110 modem. I get a continuous speed between 25-30 KBps (please note 32 KBps = 256 Kbps). Which is normal. When using download manager (DAP, Internet Download Manager, Internet Download Accelerator), you can get a faster download.

Still the speed you get is very low. Please specify your location. At times it can be location specific and temporary.

are you judging the speeds based on a speed test or actual downloading of a file or torrent?

post your speed test results, and SNR ratio so will check if its your problem or from the service provider

Thanks for the replies.

@jatindar911
I had suspected that but I thought the peak hours would be in the evenings instead I get these symptoms in the mornings...
@meetdilip
I am in Pune (Maharashtra).
@superprash2003
both really. with speedtest url mentioned and when I actually download I compare the download rate.
@kirankumargb
I will have to post it when I check it in the morning; that should take little bit of time but I will post it here.

Do you guys know any way to restrict wifi connection to MT 841? Any tutorials online? I have been putting that off for some time now but I think I should take upon myself to do it now.

Thanks again,
-Neel.

just set up WEP/WPA for your wifi network.. and give the WEP/WPA key to those who you wish you could access your wifi login to your router and look under WIRELESS
