back to the future... The La Fonera 2100 bandwidth issues
Posted: Sat Jun 17, 2017 5:44 am
Hello Folks
Long time no post, but recently I had the need to resurrect my old Fonera into a useful machine to borrow my next-door-neighbours internet. However, I've found that the bandwidth through the Fonera is very limited. I don't seem to get more than about 5 Mbps download - which is getting on for a 20th of the download speed available - over 80 Mbps.
I'm running the Fonera model FON2100A/B/C with Gargoyle v1.4.7. Any comments on why this might be and how I might speed things up would be really appreciated.
Here's some stats generated from:
https://broadbandtest.which.co.uk/
Via fonera 2100/ gargoyle v 1.4.7 (Internet-router -> wireless-Fonera -> wired-PC)
Response time (latency)
85 ms
Download speed
6.3 Mbps
Upload speed
4.6 Mbps
Not via fonera 2100/ gargoyle v 1.4.7 (Internet-router -> wireless-PC)
Response time (latency)
72 ms
Download speed
88.1 Mbps
Upload speed
18.2 Mbps
I don't pay much attention to the latency figures as ping google seems to show only a marginal difference:
