Any doubts/queries regarding Modems- Setting, Tweaking... ask here

Lets start with Huawei SmartAX MT880 Modem

i had faced "ping" problem when playing "GTA SA Multiplayer" (online), but thanks to tarey_g, my problem's solved now.

To resolve Ping issuses, make sure your modem's "Firmware" is upto-date.

latest Firmware- V200R001C01B021SP03

Reducing Ping Rates by a big margin

Trace route to find the details abt the hops made to reach a destination.

Code:

C:\DOCUME~1\GAURAV>tracert www.google.com Tracing route to www.l.google.com [72.14.235.99] over a maximum of 30 hops: [B][U]1 25 ms 24 ms 25 ms 59.95.160.1[/U][/B] 2 72 ms 77 ms 72 ms 218.248.249.85 3 72 ms 72 ms 73 ms 218.248.249.9 4 84 ms 82 ms 82 ms 218.248.255.1 5 71 ms 72 ms 71 ms 218.248.255.2 6 81 ms 80 ms 81 ms 125.16.156.25 7 83 ms 83 ms 83 ms 202.56.223.73 ...... .... .... ...

I was getting very bad pings on the first hop to my bsnl gateway, i did the following things and the results were amazing. This is what i did :

Access your modem control panel by putting 192.168.1.1 in your browser. Chk the firmware version provided on the first page(summary section). I have a Smartx MT880 modem which had really old firmware, I was getting 90ms in the first hop(really bad) .So the first thing i did is to upgrade the firmware to the newest version V200R001C01B021SP03. This reduced the ping in the first hop to 55ms approx.
Now if you have an older version of firmware in your modem than i strongly recommend to update it. New dataone modems already have newest version of firmware.

Now second thing to do is expand the 'Advanced' section and click on the 'ADSL Settings' option .You will see these options.

Now the ADSL modulation is the setting which makes the difference. The ADSL2+ is the default setting. The pings (for my Dataone gateway) i got for each ADSL modulation settings are as follows :

On ADSL2+ and ADSL2 44-52 ms
On T1.413 and G.DMT 48-64 ms
On Glite 25-30 ms
Multimode is G.DMT

Result suggests that Glite provides the least ping. In my case i was initially on 90ms now the ping is 24-30ms approx which is a big change . Even if you have the new firmware already you will get benefited by the Glite modulation setting. After updating the firmware i was getting 44-52ms , after i did Glite it slashed to approx half ie. 24-30ms .
One thing i noticed that on ADSL2+ setting i get max speed of 230KBps on my connection and on Glite its reduced by little to 215KBps. But when i had the 32KBps(256Kbps) connection the speed loss was not even noticeable.

I keep my modem's modulation setting on Glite usually 15KBps loss out of 230KBps is not much , even if it matters you can always switch modes wrt to your gaming and downloading sessions

you can see ip for your dataone(or other ISP) server by opening the status window of the current connection and clicking on the 'Details' tab.
For me it is 59.95.160.1

*img409.imageshack.us/img409/9397/statusvk6.jpg

I tested this "Modulation" mode with different settings, for me G.DMT worked.

i get a steady 28-30KBps for torrents, & ping rates have also come down.

though for LONG Online Gaming session i change the "Modulation mode" to G.Lite.

to see the Ping rates in different mode, do the below.
"Start->Run->cmd-> type ping 59.92.128.1 -n 10

NOTE: "-n 10" will ping the target 10 times. :wink:

[note::: If you want to thank someone, tarey_g, i learnt these modem tweaking from tarey_g.

]

Tip
you can save your modem setting onto your PC HDD, so that if something screws your modem settings

, just "Load Settings From Local Hard Drive". (no need to set everything all over again)

Anything for my Dataone ADSL 2+ GLB 502T router?

s18000rpm · Mar 3, 2007

these are basic settings, same in almost all modems (i guess

)

.

so why not go into "modem setting" page & tell us what settings are available?

I have done a port forward on MT882 Router..but doesn't know..whether its working or not...??Because..When I check from Utorrent inbuilt application to check a certain port is opened or not,I recieve every port(whichever I give) is opened...

I have done the port forwarding through tutorials on www.portforward.com..

59.92.128.1 is the destination for the first hop for s18000rpm, for other users it can be different. you can see ip for your dataone(or other ISP) server by opening the status window of the current connection and clicking on the 'Details' tab.
For me it is 59.95.160.1

Re: "tarey_g" Help needed??????

If you want help from him,there is a thing known as "pm"
And on the 192.168.1.1 there must be an option to restore everything to factory settings.Find that and
reset it.

just go to Advanced Settings, & in Modulation Mode select some other mode (e.g. G.Lite/G.DMT/T1...)
[refer first pic]

for me in G.Lite mode i was frequently getting disconnected, but in G.Dmt mode the connction is very stable.

so try it & report back
